BRR Finals R3 - Pg 2


Cameos galore in this one yet again. In order of appearance:
Afos Sem -- eviltwinears
Aki Ko-Kou -- kikuna
Space Girl Trio (and RolyPolyPolarBeary) -- mine
Pink n Purple (and Polar Bear) -- Kenton-Alkemi
Samson, Randall, and Pauline -- mine
Ash Ketchum -- whoever created Pokemon

Note that Ash was never scripted to make an appearance. I drew the lines intending a generic mover guy, but then I colored the hat red. It looked so perfect that I couldn't pass up the chance to turn him into Ash.

You know, my original song choice for Cleese was Dragula, by Rob Zombie. At first I wanted something metal, and various songs by Rammstein, Dragonforce, Metallica, etc floated through my head. Eventually I changed it to rap, and Lose Yourself became the obvious choice there. Idk, I felt like it would somehow be more like Cleese. Sam's song Almost by the Blues Brothers took a while to find too. That I would use Blues Brothers was a given. It was kinda hard finding a suitable song that wasn't already used by Kenton though, but Almost ended up being a perfect fit.

Oh, and the fangirls in the 5th pane are a reference to events from round 2 of the regular matches. You can find see them at my entry and Kenton's entry. Feel free to laugh at how bad my early comics were.

BRR Finals R3 - Pg 1


-Whoo, cameos galore in this page. Other than Cleese and the Shennigans, anyone in color is a cameo. In order of appearance they are:

Lord Viking -- Lord-Viking
Jake -- Silence-Draconis
Dan -- bunni89
Soda Vendor (aka Byako Bandit) -- Kenton-Alkemi
Jasae -- greenfrostfire
Trenton -- Dadrick

Normally I don't shade my comics, just doing color flats takes long enough, but I couldn't resist shading the Shennigans' suits. It just looks so much cooler that way ^_^'

For this page I debated whether to make it look more amusement-park-like or keep it at just a midway sort of set. In the end, I decided on just the tents, so it looks more like a city festival, rather than a fair. This also works better for what I've got planned. It's easier to draw (or BS if need be) a chase scene across rooftops than doing it on a ferris wheel lol

BRR Finals, Round 3 Begin

BRR Finals Round 3 Cover

-This splash page was pretty much inspired by Mario Kart Double Dash, although I took a somewhat less cartoony take on the vehicles. In a way, it was also an excuse to show off Dash, Mack and Sam Shennigan's car. The end design on the page was worked out pretty quickly, although it took a while to settle on this. Other ideas included a game show setting, something like G4's Ninja Warrior, and a Battle of the Bands setup, just to name a few.
