SO MUCH ANGST! D:

this is kind of the first time i've played around with comic form. o:

loosely based off of a recurring nightmare I've had since childhood. i never see the ending...
does anyone else get those?

Angste is right, this is very powerful, I like ti alot. the comic form works well at protraying the story, but remember that a single picture or even word can have the same effect, you may want to think it through for the application of this message. Its good though, good work.

D: one of them falling dreams where you wake up in the end. hate those.... i never see the ending of my dreams either. niceness on the fence-link-thing-majig.

i don't know why. but the falling panel bothers me. i want to say it's because of the motion lines there, and it breaks the serene/static pattern from the previous panels before.

haha, yeah @3@ waking up and jumping a foot off your bed in the end...

thanks! o:
i think it looks odd too, but i couldn't really figure out a way to make it look like he was falling... it seemed so motionless without them. but i see what you mean about disrupting the serenity. x: i'll consider that next time~ x3x

There was this one time when I was 11 or so, I had a falling dream. I woke up right before I hit the ground.... then rolled off my bed.... hit the extended bottom bunk *which had no mattress on it only metal bars*.... and fell off that onto the ground....


I think I sat there for about an hour before I could even move again... *shakes head* I absolutely HATE falling dreams.....

Oh, I like this. I've never really had the falling dream, but I've had the running dream where your feet are like bricks and you can't run. D: I can't stand thoooose.

But this is awesome. Good illustrating of the point!

That's really beautifully done. I love how it looks like a professional manga.
Nice work :w00t:
