Goodbye EfN Pages

Pictures taken at the 22nd.

So earlier this afternoon I mailed out to my former opponents the actual watercolor pages of my Escape from Nevara comic pages before I scanned them in and added text bubbles and etc. On one hand there's this beautiful sense of accomplishment at holding something like a year's worth of drawings and ideas put down unto paintings and comics, and on the other hand-it's taking up space. Which was why I was happy to mail these out to those who might appreciate these, a better fate than just gathering dust at some storage bin to be forgotten until the next clean up and nostalgia wave.

Being a chicken dork-I never got the chance to write to those people how happy I was I got to 'fight' them-got to use and draw their characters, and how being in that OCT led me to having some more confidence in my work, and meeting new friends and hell- even getting a school and scholarship from using some of these pages and writing up my EfN experience as my school letter! XD

I guess that's one reason why I took the plunge and decided to try for the Many Worlds OCT- to see if lightning will strike twice and I get lucky.

Though the major difference between these two OCTs was that I spent the first half of the year with no job and school, and lost in the semi-finals when I did go back for the fall semester. This is my senior year so it'll take some time management learning to juggle this and my school stuff. Here's hoping.
