#1340 Holy Matrimony: One Love

Edit: Due to coding problems, click here to see the finished animation
God, has it really been five years? Who knew that it would take so long…
Well, here it is. The last hurrah. This is actually my very first Flash Animation. For an experienced Flasher something of this complexity may only take a week, but trying to learn Flash while finishing up a ton of art for college ended up stretching this project to about 8 months. I know a few months in a few people were clamoring for anything to be updated, but after such a long wait I'd feel guilty putting up anything less than what you've got above.
But yes, this is the end of the Elijah and Azuu webcomic. That's not to say that Elijah and Azuu, just that this website won't be updating. In fact, you can even find an Elijah and Azuu story in Drunk Duck Vol. 3. I'm bound to do more with the characters as the years go by, but right now I'm focusing on getting paying work in the art field, and I don't think I can do that and focus on the comic like I would have to.
Anyway, there's not much to say that isn't already in the video. I hope to see you all again soon.

I suggest that since he said he probably wasn't done with the characters, and since they got MARRIED, he should think about a cliched but awesome "next generation" comic, with offspring of Azuu/Fraja and Elijah/Amy. I would love to see that, even for a small story arc...lol You will be missed!

Wowzas. I just got done reading this again. Man. Still love it. Did I ever mention the final update to this was on my 18th Birthday at the time? Yup.. Ah, the nostalgia's killing me. *sob, sob* lol Also, 5 ( x 20 ) rating for sheer awesome sauce ending.

Wow man. Amazing. What a way to wrap up a series. I'm sorry it took me this long to see it! Also, saw my name on there! You rock, Ink! Good luck with whatever comic projects the future holds, and I hope you find as much success elsewhere as you did here, with this comic!

yes, i have to agree with (i think) most people (i didnt read all the comments) in saying that it was a real pleasure to read Elijah and Azuu, it shall be sorely missed, but just like they say - good things must come to an end, and this was one of the best :) thank you for the wonderful send-off animation, to me (and im sure many of the fans) it was worth the wait. i hope your future endeavours prosper and the fun you had doing E&A stays with you for the next project!

As I said in the classic, I hope someday you make profit if this to keep doing it. Man, this comic deserves even his own graphic adventure game and maybe a fanmade movie XD
CriminalMacabre at 8:41AM, July 26, 2008
you never cease to amaze me

Wow! that was cool. You've done something I don't Think I could do. I hope you find something that will let you do what you've always wanted to do. Thanks or keeping me entertained for all the last 4 years.

Been a while, but I like it. Not going to spout claims of greatness and awesome, but it's a nice way to close something.
Inkmonkey at 3:44PM, June 14, 2008
Hey, so, I started a [url=http://www.drunkduck.com/Things_I_Did_Recently/]New Comic[/url] recently... just putting that out there.

It was awesome. Ireally enjoyed reading the old and new versions.

I'm still checking all the time ^___^ WOW, watched it finally all the way through and it was AWESOME ^_^ I can't believe it, that was a beautiful ending. Just beautiful, almost bought a tear to my eye. Thanks for that Ink. You were one of the very first commentors on Pinky TA here at DD. SO E&A was one of the few massive archive comics I've read all the way through. Lovely ending.

Oh, and I forgot to mention: The Easter egg was hilarious!

You did a fabulous job on this! A super-neato ending for a super-neato comic. Whoo, it has been a while since I have commented hasn't it? A shame I've been out of time for things lately, been trying hard to catch up with my old DD pals. You've really improved your craft, your coloring and character anatomy have really shaped up.Y'know, I should probably tell youse this stuff on your DA account! Bad Amy! Anyway, I wish you luck in your endeavors! On a more sentimental note: E&A was indeed one of the first comics on the web that I read and really got into, and you were the first person to give me fan art! (I'm sure I told you in the embarrassing overly-gushy letter I sent that time though!) The crossover was awesome fun to do, and I am glad to hear you had fun too! I also first met Nick on your comic too, haha ^_^ so I owe it to you and E&A for that. It's sad to see it go (just when I was getting caught up again too T_T) but I do hope you have good luck and success with your work! Take care and thanks for everything you've done for me, I really, really appreciate it!

Awesome work! Shame it's over but alas all good things come to an end and all that junk
JillyFoo at 11:54AM, June 11, 2008
A classic DD comic has ended. An actual non-forever-hiatus nice ending. Golly. You're something to strive for. Thank you for making Elijah and Azuu. Thank you.
