EDIT: I reuploaded the original image now, the "bigger" original one, and i fixed the shadow so its properly cast now.

And lets hope there will be no 'objectional' scenes. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

Visual_Mirage · August 2003

Hehe, thanks, trust me... Deunen is an exceptionally imaginative person, he's got a GREAT story line going, very good one.

MrMojo · August 2003

Is..that...a ninja? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/marine.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='marine.gif'>

Eplekongen · August 2003

it ... a TSA marine. Visual mirage, the black lines are all jaggy and stuff. what happened to using the multiply on top of a sketch?

And yeah, rrr. Comic <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

Redford · August 2003

you can't go wrong with flowers and a naked woman who looks like she's about to be attacked by a ninja.

CaLFiN · August 2003

Erm... Looking good... But why is the Marine's shadow reversed on the bed?

Dubbilex · August 2003

Now <i>that</i>, my friend, is a good question <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

<img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'> **** Cal lol sh!!! dont tell everyone sheesh. That was a little prob I picked up after visual posted it. I told him and he tried to fix but it was goin to be a work out to fix and it was already very late so VM just left it as is. We had hoped no one would notice <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

Ok so Cal you get an award. Expect my shoe in the mail in a few days <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'> jkn Good eye man.

I was goin to use the excuse like from Seinfeld when George gets caught with his cane on the wrong side when he is faking a leg injury. "Its like looking in a mirror." "So image is reversed." <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'>

CaLFiN · August 2003

A shoe! I always wanted my own! Thank youuuuuuuuu <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

enf0rcer · August 2003

plus he looks like he's going to kill her when he's suppost to be sad that he's leaving. TBH i think the sketches looked better. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'>

Quaunaut · August 2003

Just a tip for next time: Maybe have him turning, head hanging down a bit, instead of looking at her. That way you can kind of get the emotion out of it.

CaLFiN · August 2003

Maybe make the light show his face with a tear shining?

Eplekongen · August 2003

if you get the colored one too look more like the sketch it will look better. And if you read tru the whole page it won't look like a ninja wanting to kill her, but I would suggest making it a marine in shadow, not a shadow with visor.

Jefe · August 2003

you know, that shadow almost looks like a skulk <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

Yeah, well, the original image i have on my computer (and deunen's), it's MUCH bigger than this one i have posted, and not jaggy. Since i had to reduce the size of the image it kind of made them a little jagged as such, sorry about that.

Visual_Mirage · August 2003

Ok!! i fixed up the original "BIG" image, and fixed the shadow and some jaggies, this picture is bigger than the other one i posted, so you "low resolution" people may need to scrool across to see it properly, sorry for the inconvenience, but this is how it should have been viewed!

thanks, hope you still like it

RaVe · August 2003

Hmm...let's guess the storyline....

A marine about to leave his wife to work for the TSA??

Looks almost like it,can't wait <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>
Great work Deunen and VB <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>:D:D

MrMojo · August 2003

I'm looking at the sketches right now. Very nice.

Challenger · August 2003

Yeah.. Looks like a marine biding his wife farewell as he leaves for the TSA spaceships. Looks like he's carrying a backpack by the handles/equipping it as he's getting up and leaving for ever.. BTW, I love the shadow of the marine on the bed!

RaVe · August 2003

Uhh...I've been to Deunen's site with the comic WIP,and it's his girlfriend....

<img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'> I envy j00 Deunen,just tell me where you learned to draw the feet and hands then I can die happy <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

Visual_Mirage · August 2003

hehe, all the people who guessed the story line for that part, your very close <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

Jefe · August 2003

you should have left the other one, the shadow looked like a skulk

BlaqWolf · August 2003

lol first time i saw it i thought , "why is he about to hit that poor defensless sleeping woman with a giant mallet?"

then i read it was a duffle bag <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

nice job on the artwork btw! i look foreward to rest of the comic <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif'>

i didn't see the sketches

but seriously... omg. you took the words right out of my laughing mouth. i love the art, but the comic isn't about insane wifekilling ninjurs with duffel bags, right?

Visual_Mirage · August 2003

Noo! theres no ninja! he's a TSA marine leaving his wife, and he's holdinga duffel bag slinged over his shoulder! ^_^ look closer!

Inafiscisis · August 2003

...OMG it's a ninja with a giant mallet!!11eleven1!

But, seriously, great work.

xexe · August 2003

i think his girlfirends arms are a bit buff or are they supposed to be a bit buff
