Umm... yeah.  I case anyone was unclear, the text was meant to be a little incoherent because it\'s a small peak into Unknown\'s distant past through audio only.  Note the Stethoscope (read the intro and design sheet for reference).  Believe it or not it\'s probably Unknown\'s most useful tool.

[EDIT]
To be honest, i usually hate these \"to be continued...\" [in Beyond Battles] stories, coz usually what was offered was an un-satisfying non-stand-alone piece.

Wapachang!!!

Both comics were ooooozing with atmosphere & melancholy!! And awesome art & story-telling from both of you!! Well done ladies!! Now to the details...

UNKNOWN: Excellent use of the limited color pallete! Great angles and panelling! Well done on the mood-setting and tension-building! What i really love though is the sensitivity and even the ambiguity of the story!! I had to read it 3 times before i could grasp it but i really admire how you allow the reader to involve themselves a little more and think. A story told successfully with subtlety and understatement. I shake your hand Mistress Shade. Oh, and AWESOME rendition of Lotus too!!!

LOTUS: That is one of the coolest cover images i\'ve ever seen (page1)!! I could so see that in an art gallery!! Nice linework, oozing with character. And i like this new painting style u got goin on. Agreed with Wasabi, very very creative of u combining the 2 battles! And you tied all 3 of the characters so well!! And my favourite part of your side of the battle QTR is the blood-dripping ending! Lotus as a cold-hearted villian: I LOVE IT!!! But we\'ll hav 2 wait for the Banshee battle to see if that is still the case...
To be honest, i usually hate these \"to be continued...\" stories, coz usually what was offered was a satisfying stand-alone piece. But this, though short, still managed to conlcude nicely, AND still tease us for the next part. Can\'t wait! Once again, well done. Some very awesome twisted imagery.

Doesnt make it easier for us to vote though... ;)

whoa, i need popcorn for a horror flick like this...

Shade: Wicked fight, I love how you made both sides seem neither totally good or bad. It looks like Unknown may have found a friend after all. ^^

QTR: Stellar work. I would have liked to see more action, but now I know I can look forward to all of it in the Banshee fight. Don\'t beat yourself up about your art; if I did that every time someone kicked me in the (metaphorical) nuts because my art sucked so bad, I\'d have given up art altogether by now. You\'re a phenom artist, and don\'t let anyone ever tell you different.

Well, I\'ve just been saved from dying of a heart attack at 22 by QTR and toast.  Now that I realize the error of my ways, you can now enjoy these wonderful comics.  Enjoy them dammit!  ; p

What the fuck happened?!?  I had it on 72 dpi.  It looked fine when I submitted.  Is there something I\'m missing?  Can\'t this be fixed?  Somebody help?!!!

Oooh... macabre. :p

Mistress - Great work. I like the general color scheme. It\'s obvious you put a lot of effort into this comic... I just wish you had sized it a bit smaller. That\'s the only thing that hindered the \"experience\" for me. It\'s hard to want to read a comic THAT big, you know?

QTR - Very unique! The fact that you\'re fusing two battles together gets you mucho extra points in the creativity department. I really REALLY dug that. Excellent effects (dripping blood, vines in smoke, etc) as well. It really sucks that you\'re retiring Lotus... I really think you should conitinue with her.

So both of you, good stuff. Close votes.

Qtr, talk to me on ICQ or AIM sometime today or this evening.  I\'d like to be able to talk to you in real time if it can be arranged.  I\'m not going to class today as I\'ve been worn out lately and the commute to Oakville has been most draining on my stamina.

Take heed of Fanta Dude\'s words because I think they carry some weight.  If you need to collect yourself, I understand.  Perhaps taking a step back will help you move forward.  If it\'s any consolation, I get discouraged all the time.  (Last year I was in tears because my art was so mediocre).  Hell, I\'m discouraged now and second guessing the way I\'ve been drawing lately.  It\'s so easy to get discouraged when you\'re surrounded by so many other talents.  I don\'t hold a candle to some of the artists on here.  While I think my battle turned out decently, I\'m still not 100% satisfied.  Honestly, it comes with the territory.  Ask a lot of people on here and I\'m pretty sure you\'ll get the same response.

Regarding our battle, get done what you can.  Something is better than nothing and I\'d still like to see what you have even if it\'s partial.

There\'s that attitude again QTR! U gotta quit tellin urself that! U got talent! U got ideas! Ur a certified comic-artist! One that i\'m sure Void is proud to have! You\'ve brought something different to the table... only few artists here are able to do that.
If ur really that down&out about ur character maybe u can make a new fighter... a fresh brand new start.
But Lotus is bloody excellent!! Can\'t u see how much people love drawing her (\"I think I get more enjoyment out of drawing her than I do Unknown.\" as said by Mistress herself)
Please don\'t be discouraged. And please don\'t leave Void. Go watch some French movies (Amelie, The City of Lost Children, Delicatessen!!)! French movies will make u change ur mind...

sorry mistress, i let you down... i didnt get as much done as i wanted to... ive been uninspired... i will attempt at my banshee battle too, but after that im retiring lotus, and possibly leaving void for a while... im just not happy with my ideas or the work i put out, and no point at trying to be something im not, and that would be someone who can actully make comic art.  ... sorry.

Did I ever mention to you that Lotus is so insanely fun to draw?  I think I get more enjoyment out of drawing her than I do Unknown.

Okay, okay.  Back to work.  *huff* *huff*
