Description I think I'm getting way over my head with this comic series. After uploading the eleventh episode of "About Locke...", I came to a startling dilemma: How do I top a blackbelt martial artist suplexing a train? Sabin's victory over the Phantom Train is one tough act to follow, and whatever I decide to tackle next must gain some favor from the audience or else it's downhill from here!

Then I realized we haven't seen a certain character for a long time, and she's due for a confrontation with our hero. Well, it's not a suplex, folks, but I hope the return of a certain lady to the comic is the right step forward in plot!

By the way, what do you all think of Leo's mohawk? After the first layout, my sister shouted, "Make it taller!!" and I obliged.

edit 10/27/10: It's darker!

XDD I love how Locke's foot is up in the air when he hugs Edgar. Funny, great artistic ability, and wonderful as usual ^-^

I believe that Rachel actually does come back somewhere in the game... O_O But only temporarily.

That's true, she does. I'm considering the finale of the comic revolves around ditching Locke...

YUS!!! I can't wait to see that...

I'm in the middle of playing now and just got finished with my FIRST trip to ZoZo, so now I have to go to Jidor and do the AWESOME Opera. (I'm going to randomly link you to the real version with words and all because I can. XP )

Here ya go! Hope you REALLY enjoy this. (I personally think the OST off the CD sounds better, but this works too.) [link]

Locke is my fav male character, but I'm not angry when I read the comic. Moreover, I think it's a great point of view and I'm looking forward to see next pages. I made even a special collection in my favs so everybody could easily notice your work.
I have read in coments that sometimes it's hard for you to draw another page, but don't worry, we all have bad days from time to time. When you work, keep in mind the fact that you turn some people's bad days in good ones

Thank you for the support and faves! It's getting harder to come up with new updates with the comic, but I still have fun working on them and will update soon. Not to mention it's a great exercise in illustrating facial expressions and action sequences, so yay!

theApocrypha In reply to Magnaflux [2010-10-27 03:08:26 +0000 UTC]

That was actually his original mohawk height, but after originally sketching it in my older sister insisted on making it taller. I think with Leo's head shape he could pull off either look well.

Thanks for the reference pic!

Magnaflux In reply to theApocrypha [2010-10-27 03:22:20 +0000 UTC]

Not that it would necessarily look better short, but the army usually frowns upon hair any longer than like an inch in length.

I just came across the first part by chance and ended up having a very humorous 20-or-so minutes. And I don't even have anything agaist Locke. There's something about the way you draw the characters' expressions and all that makes it easy to follow and amusing to look at. You've just made my lazy day much better!

Keep going if you get the mood and ideas

It gets harder every time to take it one step further, but somehow it work out and I still laugh while working on them. I'm also glad that they still make people laugh.

Actually, I had to clean it up; when I first scanned the image, the scanner picked up the texture of the paper all too well! Thankfully my tablet makes corrections much easier.

And I'm glad you approve

Here we see the dick out of his element about to be confronted by his prey, who being in healthy condition, cannot be taken down by mere force. Though rarely occurring in nature, it is possible that the Male Dick may not survive the encounter...

Damn Nature, You scary....
