Sketching process: 5 Hours
Inking process: 3 Hours
Rough Coloring & BG: 4 Hours
Shading: 5 Hours
Total Completion Time: Approx. 17 Hours

Every single TvTome Adventures character, ever. I suddenly got the inspiration to draw this piece of insanity up during the last few weeks of my Anatomy class. I started working on it periodically after finishing the actual class assignments, took the massive thing back home to finish sketching it, got up around 3 in the morning and decided to start inking it, spent the rest of that same day laying out the color and eventually got around to the shading. Dunno HOW I physically did this, but ah well.

This was essentially meant to be the final scene of TTA had I gone all the way to Episode 100: "Ultimate Creature II". TOME is officially set to be taken offline one week after the deletion of all three of Darkeyes' viruses. The Netkings, in this last week of time, conduct one final tournament open to all players of the game before their virtual world is shut down. At the very end of the episode, it fast forwards to an undetermined part of the tournament, where Alpha walks past his closest friends as they see him into the area. The audience is composed of every character in the series that isn't banned, in jail, hospitalized or dead by that point. Zetto stands tall, ready to take on his online rival in the fair, all-out final battle they've sworn they would have for pratically forever. They charge in and lock fists, as the screen freezes and zooms out to show this picture...yes, that's how it ends. You don't see who wins the battle. So even if I HAD done Season 4, I was prepared to screw you guys over anyway, HAAAAAA~

I thought including the characters that weren't actually in the 'audience' would be worth it as well since it'd be better to simply have everyone that the viewers were attached to. I think I DID leave out a bunch, I conciously nixed the Flux Gang's inclusion because I just didn't care for them and didn't include the contest winners since I felt they weren't quite my characters, although to give credit Ichinar is still Kevin Klontz' and Fauna is Spring's, as well as the Fireball20xl members part of the Season 4 newcomers belonging to their respective creators. Anyone else I had forgotten probably wasn't incredibly important anyhow.

For the ones included, I tried to divide everyone into their respective "categories", being the main characters, the secondaries, the D-Bug Org & Purple Flame members, the Guild of Anubis, the Ranks of Sanctuary and the Netkings. There're some stragglers about, such as the moderators being scattered around, but I tried to apply certain characters in appropriate places. Flamegirl and Ruri are reaching out to their respective love interests, the D-Bug Dragon stretches past characters specific to it such as Zetto, Phaxal, Kirbopher and Gamecrazed; other little nods to the storyline like that. I also tried to make little background that correspond to their appropriate groups. All of the TOME regions are in there, the Netking Path, the D-Bug Org HQ, Motherboard's Maze plus the auras of all three viruses running throughout different places.

I'm very proud of this piece and would absolutely appreciate any feedback you guys can give on it. Those've you who're still disappointed about the series' premature ending, I hope you still enjoy TTA for what it was and will hopefully have an appreciation for this picture as well; it certainly means a lot to me.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

If you ever have the chance to make your own video game, would you use this series' scenario? Or something along these lines? I wasjust wondering, as I always imagined this series as a video game. :XD:

This is incredible. I am really amazed that you managed to pull this off. Great job! :D

Where do you buy trench coats, anyway? 'Stalkers-R-Us'?
