Drawn by Mlai. Lettered by DigitalCAPS. Top page banner coloured by Whirlwynd.
Read the companion series FIGHT 1; each story follows a group of people in the same world.
I continue to play with textures taken from photographs (I do not use pre-made manga tones/textures). However panel 4 may look inadvertently shoujo-esque, which is not what I want for that panel!

@ EEN: Well you've read more of F1 in the past, so you know what Nuada's like, so this shouldn't be a big surprise. In a quartet, his flaws are buffered. But when it's just him and 1 other person, it all comes out. His complexity and *lack of* typical character appeal is what makes the disastrous [b]forced pairings[/b] (the introductory theme of both FIGHTs) fun to write and hopefully to read about. No idealistic never-say-die teenage hero here. (At least not yet...)

Geeze with an attitude like that she is right to distrust him. I have to agree I'm not so hot on panel 4. I can't help but notice you cut out his robotic arm in most panels. Sometimes it looks artsy, other time it looks like you are a just trying to avoiding drawing it. I don't mind it myself (it isn't like I need to see his arm is every panel it doesn't hurt the story or anything and if it helps the pages I'm all for it) but sometimes it looks more obvious then other times.

Haha. I really like the way she's positioned lying with the sword, it looks really natural. Drawing sleeping people isn't easy! The photo tones are a good idea!
