Five panels, one speech bubble. Yeah, this page is a little different than my usual talk-heavy stuff.
I know the angle/anatomy is a little off in the last panel. There's a reason for that. Blond guy's left hand was drawn nearly five months later than the rest of the page. The original position looked so weird. It bothered me to no end until I finally got out a piece of paper, drew a new hand on it, and replaced the old one digitally (and creased Seiko's shirt to fit). It's not perfect, but it is about 20 times better.
There is some news from real life. Bethany got a job! Tomorrow she picks up her uniform and starts training as a night security guard. Way to go, Bethany! (And thanks for leaving me in the job hunting dust. -_- )
n_y_japlander: hehe… :-D Your comment made me grin for reasons I cannot explain – except b@lls is a funny word. (Yeah, I sometimes have a juvenile sense of humor.)
LanceDanger: I'm glad the “night effects” are working. The soft spotlight thing is pretty helpful in directing people's eyes (and hiding the lack of background details o.O ).
Peipei: Seiko does need rescuing a lot… It would be nice if she could defend herself a little better.
ShinGen: Thanks. Coloring is fun but tedious. I am putting forth a full coloring effort in my other not-so-regularly-updating- but-much-better-art project.
maritalbliss: Poor Seiko's biggest asset is a wide circle of friends and a good helping of dumb luck – which is important when you suffer from tremendously bad luck. lol

In all this time, in all these pages, I have chosen not to say anything about the style. Mostly, because I have nothing to add. ^_^ No complaints, no suggestions, I'm just here to enjoy the ride. But now I do have one teeensie thing that bothered me about this page. I remember one very animated guy I knew (Evert Brown), who was, amusingly enough, an animator. He had the wildest face. And he used to tell me to look in a mirror if I ever needed to know how to depict emotion (in words and images). So . . . where am I going with this? Seiko's scream. I think, in the future if anybody's going to scream in total pain like that, the emotion (fear?) would benefit from a very big mouth! Open wide, all self-consciousness out the window, and SCREAM! Just a thought. ^_^ Probably not a coherent one. Sorry for that!

Excellent page layout. You don't need any more dialogue here (as much as I'm sure that pains you :) After this, K and Y need to seriously give her some self-defense lessons. (Oh, or Tristan...I'm sure Tristan could teach her a few things. Tee Hee...Naughty thoughts.)

you know, your characters anatomy is rare, but it fits so well the story and style... I'm not sure if I prefer them to be by the standards, I sort of like them as they are, a lot :D Anyway, I know they've changed already because of Beauty contest and other recent works you've done, I'm gonna miss that a little. Finally I've caught up!

Definitely not a good day for Seiko! I'm feeling for her and hoping a good Samaritan is nearby, too.
