Here we go... !

Eight panels

Panel 1

The Indigo Queen clutches at her throat with both hands, her eyes wide cerulean horror, her pupils tiny specks of desperation.

Lady in Waiting: (off panel) Queen?

Panel 2

Wider angle, the Queen's rooms. The Lady reaches out to assist, unable to fully contain her disgust as the Queen doubles over, spewing dark greenish blood and a spray of shimmering sapphire crystal shards down the length of her silken skirts and onto the pale turquoise marble tiles.

Lady: The betrayal is complete!

Panel 3

The queen falls forward onto her knees, oblivious to the blood soaking her skirts and pulling them down into a sticky mass on the floor. Instead, she reaches for the bright sapphire shards settled in her gore.

Queen Sharra: My people! Help me save them!

Panel 4

Very close. The pointed tip of a luxe woman's shoe, peaking out from clean, pale blue skirts, crushes a shard into dust.

Panel 5

Very close. Tumax?s head tips back, his dark blue eyes blank and frozen as his last breath slips out in a wisp.

Panel 6

Very, very close. A child's eye, also wide and blank, the flat line from an ICU monitor reflected in his blue speckled iris.

Panel 7

The Lady gingerly lifts her pale blue skirts, her pointed shoe still poised in the shard's dust. The Queen looks helplessly up at her trusted companion, handfuls of shards cutting into her fists.

Lady: They are lost, Queen. As are you.

Queen Sharra: No!

Panel 8

Wider. In the background, the Lady leaves, her back to her Queen, leaving a trail of crushed shards as she walks. In the foreground, the Queen sits back on her heels, her hands open, bleeding from many thin cuts, tears streaming down her face. In one hand, amongst the sapphire shards, sits a single, perfectly round ruby crystal.

Lady: Sir Davion awaits.

Queen Sharra: Wha - ? What's this?

First I'd like to apologize to TK for the wait. I had sent him a PM asking for help with the page, I really struggled with this one, only to discover recently that the PM never made it through. Anyway here it is, the long overdue MOFF Page 18. So now there's 4 pages left. Nearly there folks, oh so very close! 




On that note, something for the 4 writers left to consider. The negative effects of the heroes powers. This was shown very briefly when Gustav coughed up blood early on in the story but so far this hasn't seemed to be going on with any of the other characters. Just bringing that up. ;)

Alright... assuming there are no other "hidden" pages out there... after a long, long wait... and after a final false start... finally I have delivered my MOFF entry.  I know it is busy, but that is life.  Enjoy.

So... word on the street is that I am up for MOFF... ummmm... Would you believe my Bad?

Hi everyone!

I'm baaaaaaack and here is my contribution to MOFF.  Let me know what you think! :)

MOFF - page 16:

Six panels: the top third of the page is a single widescreen panel; the middle third is divided into three panels; and the bottom third is divided into a small square panel at the left and a wider rectangular panel at the right.

 

Panel one:  King Killian is standing, still clutching his emerald while Honson is standing behind King Killian, taking a step toward him.  Honson is half-faded so that we can see where he is in the image, yet know he is still invisible.  He has a surprised expression on his face.  

 

                                   KING KILLIAN

            Did you really think I wouldn?t sense your presence?

 

Panel two:  King Killian is looking behind him in the direction where Honson was standing in the previous panel.  However, Honson is now standing on the opposite side of King Killian, getting closer to the emerald.

 

                                   KING KILLIAN

            No need to hide, I know you?re here.

 

Panel three:  Close up of Honson?s half-faded hand grabing the emerald from King Killian.

 

Panel four:  Honson (still half-faded) and King Killian are both depicted falling back in mid-air.  Honson is holding the emerald away from his body as King Killian springs in the direction of the stone, trying to grab it.  The emerald is dangerously close to hitting the stone wall.

 

Panel five: Close up of the half-faded hand holding the emerald as the tip hits the stone wall and shatters.  Only the tip is shattered and the rest of the stone is whole.

 

                                   KING KILLIAN (OP)

            Nooooooo!!!

 

Panel six: Perspective view showing the row of hospital beds extending to infinity.  All the kids are laying down except for one who is sitting in his bed.  He is drawn with motion lines to emphasize the idea that he just suddenly sat up. 

 

                                   SOUND F/X (from the kid)

            Gasp!

This is my contribution to MOFF. I had a surprise root canal today, so I am not feeling too chatty :0)!

I will be interested to hear what folks have to say about an artist writing a page without dialogue, though.

Back soon.

Page 15

 7 Panels: three panels along the top, a page wide panel in the middle, and three panels along the bottom.

 Panel 1 is tinted the same red as the eye as Adam?s eyes. SCU of Ikaros? matte black eye with a slit pupil.

 Panel 2 is a med CU of Gustav?s knife (recognizable from the previous exchange with Mylestra) deep in his own ribs.

 Panel 3 is a med shot of Tumax drawing the knife, cradling his friend, his face contorted with rage.

 Panel 4 is a long shot. Tumax is is the FG on the left hand side, Gustav?s knife is his hand. Leading from left to right is a row of Verdant soldiers falling in succession, the furthest right almost hitting the ground. They are all blood is gouting from their throats.

 Panel 5 is a med CU of Lord Davion, smiling smugly.He looks somewhat battle weary and is covered in gore.

 Panel 6 is a med long shot of King Killian slumped in front of the emerald from behind. His posture is one of defeat.

 Panel 7 is closer in over Killian?s shoulder. We can see Honson emerging from the floor.
