Written by Jim Doe - as all Sea3on Shorts will be. Until he dies. Which should be any day now.

Our first guest artist is Chalcara.

Discuss, enjoy, lynch mob Jimmy for the lack of anything to read.

[chalcara]

Yes, blame Jim.

Anyway, I hope you guys like it.

Nice cityscape

The huge head indicates our mysterious interloper is a furry.

I love Chal's grayscale work just as much as I love her colored work. It adds so much atmosphere to certain locales.

It just makes Robotropolis just that more foreboding when it's in black, white, and gray.

[Jim Doe]

It just tickles me all over in ways both appropriate and inappropriate that my words are being brought to life by Lady Chal's pictures. So preeeettyyyyyy . . .

[Gojira007]

I know the feeling, Jim; it's quite euphoric, isn't it?

Anywho, off to a good start. I'm diggin' the grayscale look, very nice and fleshed out.

[Morgan]

I saw the first page, Chal. It's beautifully done!

[Jim Doe]

Just did all kinds of mad linkage over on my DA and FA accounts for FUS, S3, and the awesome Lady Chal, so you guys should be getting, like, an extra two or three hits now!

[randomizer]

Only one problem... the credits are static, so neither Jim nor Chal are credited at the bottom of the page. Aren't I interesting? I pay more attention to Copyright notices than the comic.

[chief]

Since when have you seen a webcomic add copywrite for guest strips? We would end up having a massive copy write list by the end of it.

Thats why we just give thanks to them, like I did in the first strip, as well as will be on the last. I didn't mention Jim though because I figure he is old and will forget his own name.


But he will be added in somewhere



Annnd just looking at it I need to change the title after work... Uploading stuff while drunk you tend to forget organization

[randomizer]

Well, given that reading web comics isn't something I do regularly (actually, this is about the only one), I've never seen copyright added for guest strips

[chalcara]

Well, *someone* failed at sneaking 101.

In other news, my major problem while drawing the swatbots was NOT to make them look like Samus Aran in her basic powersuit. Colouring aside, those two look really similiar.

[Gojira007]

Huh. That's...actually a pretty good point, Chal. Admittedly, the SWATBots do have significantly wider heads, but that's about it.

Anywho, new page is quite nice. I continue to enjoy the atmosphere and unique feel of the art.

Greyscale certainly adds an additional level of bleakness that would be difficult to represent with colour.

I think this is the third time Sonic has worn clothes in his life

[Jim Doe]

Holy crap, there are words on that page! I guess they decided not to go with my alternate plan of just having ten pages of nothing but Sonic walking around. It was very avant-garde.

I think this is the third time Sonic has worn clothes in his life

He just got his quills curled and doesn't want the rain to mess up his 'do.

When I was originally writing this, the idea I had in my head was that Sonic and his slicker would basically be the only color in the comic, with everything else being washed out by the rain . . . kind of Sin City style. I didn't write this into the script (oops!), but I'm glad that Lady Chal went full black/white/grey anyway. It fits perfectly!

[John Roberts]

Aaaand now we can reveal the title for this thread. Which would have been a dead giveaway as to who was under that hood.

[Tristan Palmgren]

Sonic is actually waiting rather than cruising around the city and getting in trouble?

[Gojira007]

This may be one of the most adorable-looking Sonic pics I've ever seen. It makes the reveal of his identity work all the better in contrast with the grim, mysterious pages where we weren't sure who it was.
