So I lost to the awesome :iconshes-t:, which is understandable. Shes-t did an amazing job with my characters, and I'm pretty proud that I went up against him. I kind of knew from the start that if I faced up against him, from the start, that I would most likely lose, and I'm pretty content with that.

I do have a little underlying sadness though, for I knew I could have done better with the round. The writing was there, and the skills were there, it was time that was against me towards the end. I could have either sacrificed a completely colored comic for the sake of great timing, and maybe that would have gotten me the win, but I wanted to put forth a comic that I could be completely proud of. I had always had a comic in the tournament that wasn't completely finished, and I had a little shame with that. How could I get by a round with bare minimum?

So, with the sacrifice of a winning comic comes a completely colored one. Albeit a tad rushed, but at least I can be proud of this round, even if it's my last. Even though there's a slight sadness with losing, there's pride with knowing that I could make a completed comic in a short time span, and I ended on a high note.

I'm pretty proud of the fact that my round with Shes-t was a tight one, and that I stood my ground pretty fiercely. That has to say something about my storytelling and comic skills. I've learned some pretty good things, and I have more faith and trust in my skills; more self esteem in my comic skills. Maybe one day I can really make something others would buy and could get into, but that's a distant dream.

The end of this round will bring in the beginnings of a comic series that I'm going to be starting up with :iconthenerdyredneck:, and hopefully I can play around with Moza and the silly bunch of trainwrecks that is the crew of the story. (I kind of want to do a little focusing on Moza and Drake, maybe they'll have a few chapters of side quests.)

As for the Tournament itself, it's an amazing one, and deserves praise. I've never had that much fun in a tourny before, and I'm not sure if I will ever again. Maybe some things will come close, but nothing will match it. If they decided to do a secondary tournament of rings then I'd be one of the first on their list, maybe with the same characters, maybe different ones. (possibly lily?)

I'll still be sticking around the tournament, to root on the contestants, and see where this bad-boy goes in the future.

Thank you :iconoctournamentofrings: You've opened up some new doors for me, and I love you forever.
