And here they are, the famous LOST EPISODES of Dragaera, the 8-bit Comic. Originally written years ago, they began the never completed month of August and sat forgotten for all this time (it has been 4 years). Forgive the layout, but just "plopping" them here seemed more appropriate considering they were basically just sitting in a random folder on my computer.
I have decided to include my original comments, so what you read below the images are comments I wrote at the time of creation.
This is the final installment. Somewhere I eventually got a month off, so this is going to be a huge stretch to even finish this one by the time I leave. I don’t have time for bonus episodes, and everything is bound to be anti-climactic. I’m very sorry, but that’s the way, it’s all turned out.
In more pleasant news: GRAM’S BACK! Kind of. I suppose he just had to see it through to the end, with a heartfelt welcome from friends. But wait... who could Blank be on the phone with? *sarcasm, dripping, literally dripping like syrup*
Episode 36
History has been made! Cid wasn’t censored out, for once! But before he can celebrate, he might as well take out this bad guy. I really need to finish this storyline, though. Before I go, Tim wanted to make sure I first finished all the things I started. It’s going to be close, and I’m not helping any by not finishing the fight right here any now. Then again, how long are a bunch of skeletons going to last if Cid’s got his fan?
Bonus Episode 36
Do not piss off Hemlock. Well, I mean, that’s impossible, but try not to REALLY piss him off. And that’s the one way to do it. One villain down, but there’s a good chance Hemlock’s not going to be rejoining the party, so it was a trade. Notice how the Dzurlord isn’t completely stupid? Kur and McKrin were clever too, since there were no skeletons, they must have planned for this to happen.
Umm... why does a briefcase just symbolize all their stuff? Who knows, but in Metal Gear it was a box. I looked all over for a pile of gold a treasure from Gauntlet, because I thought that would be more funny, but I couldn’t find it. This is the same principle, though.
Isn’t it also funny that in comics, people just can’t seem to see beyond the panel line? Obviously that ugly platform with Hemlock’s wife was right there, but until it was actually in the strip, it was invisible...
Plus, I know it’s too far down the road to make changes, but I added some detail to D.Lord’s eyes to make them more lidded and glazed over, more “drunk.” I don’t think it looks GOOD, but it looks more right.
Episode 37
Please, undead against the flaming fan? Kidnapping Hemlock’s wife? These guys forgot to to their homework, and they’ve both suffered for it. Anyway, obviously Cid’s getting weirded out, and with his mental condition, he might just decide to leave before things get too bizarre.
And that was it. I never got any farther.
