hey girl you up posted:

I was reading back through the ballroom battle in Mottom's palace, and I found the scene where Auntie Maya takes on 6 Juggernaut Star more meaningful in light of her recent flashback/lesson.

Starting from this page should be good. Maya has introduced herself to Allison, who is now fleeing with White Chain.

So she hides her blade in her hair.

And she is actively helping Allison to flee

???

Is she offended by Jugg's undisciplined cutting?

All of Throne is actually inside a computer simulation and Allison's effectiveness is so low that after becoming wounded, it rolls over into the max positive value.

I think 'Hero' is a more interesting idea than just 'furious dumbass' - after all, Aesma is the archetypal furious dumbass, and definitely not a hero.

A hero seems to be, in this context, a furious dumbass with a higher purpose who is 2 furious 2 dumbass to recognize that their goal is impossible or impractical. An idealistic furious dumbass who will carve a new world from the old.

Basically I think that Nyave's 'Oh! A hero!' can be read both naively and with a certain 'she's gonna die or kill everyone, but she's definitely going to shake things up' bent to it.

Royal heroism can only be accomplished in retrospect. If you're royalty your immediate actions are neither heroic nor evil, those can only be attributed by observers in your wake.

Interesting how Nyave has taken on the role I expected Cio to take on (cheerleader/chronicler). I wonder if Operant originally intended for it to go that way, but created (or re-wrote) Nyave when he decided on the direction he took Cio's character in?

I also didn't make the cut, there were a ridiculous number of entries and even when you culled out the ones that were like photos of a sketch in a notebook or something it was clear there was a lot of really quality stuff going on.

I like your dude too! Sorry you didn't get in, I'd have liked to see more of your pages.

While I am disappointed I am also slightly relieved because there are some really good artists to go head to head with, and because my 2D art is miserable I got my wife to help illustrate, and I have no idea how we would have managed to put out pages of comic in two weeks, so there's that.

Edit: Apparently 258 entries, jeeze.

Oh good you made it! I was trying to figure out an easy way to see who was in besides scrolling endlessly through names. You had a really clean concept, glad you got in.

If I have learned something from this it's that I should maybe invest in learning some digital art techniques, because mine was sketched, inked, and colored with watercolors and scanned in, which is not a great workflow.

Thanks everyone! I’m very stoked to lose my first round against my opponent’s giant robot.

Ashcans posted:

No, I didn’t. I actually started with “what if hatsune miku but k6bd” and went from there. I tried to keep as many callbacks to Miku’s character design in there as possible (blue tie, loose sleeves, tall boots, hair parted in two, reference to the number 39, similar-sounding name) without making it too obvious. I’m hoping people in the discord only notice really deep into the bracket and then boo me out of the server.

When I got to “how do you fight with music” I got reminded of an old character I had in a MUD that spun crystals to make vibrations to do magic, then boiled that down to just making tones, then built that back up into whistles and tuning forks. After that it was all just figuring out how to make it fit in the K6BD metaphysics and coming up with reasonable effects, and then figuring out how to make it an interesting fighting style.
