I'll save you...
----------------------------
Tried doing this in a Japanese blockprint style. Your eye is supposed to travel from top to bottom in a Z.

Okay unless you've seen Paranoia Agent from start to finish you might not get this so I'll try to explain. Just warning you but this is a spoiler for the series.
Tsukiko (the little girl) gets distracted and let go of her puppy Maromi's leash. Hence the stupid thing runs straight into the road and gets mushed by a car. Tsukiko is terrified of her father already and doesn't want to tell him that it was her fault Maromi was hit, so she makes up a story about a boy on rollerblades with a baseball bat attacking her and that's why she let go of the leash. Being the hyper creative and severely delusional little girl she is she even convinces herself that's how it happened. Thus Lil Slugger is born. Ten years later she pulls the same act to buy more time to finish her character designs but this time other people who want an escape start getting attacked by her childhood delusion. Spooky huh? ^___^ Wish my childhood delusions went around smacking people over the head.

Pretty cool picture...Poor puppy though. Yeah, I wish my delusions could come to life. Except if they were homicidal :O_o: that might be a little scary.

It's a very striking picture. I had to look at it a couple times before I could read the description. Kudos to stopping me in my tracks.

:D Yeah it gets confusing at points. It's very symbolic and enigmatic so you have to pay attention or you'll miss something. Kinda like Lost. Did you see the whole series in order or have you just caught it a couple times on Adult Swim?

Yeah you kinda have to see it in full to understand the progression. The episodes each have a different main character but they're all woven together in different ways. The creator describes it as sort of a relay race, with each person passing the baton to the next runner. If you just come in at random you usually don't catch the previous refences to other characters or the role they have in the big picture.

It's actually a really short series. Only 13 Episodes. Just catch it the next time around or if you have Adult Swim on Demand use that.

Ooo, I like this a lot! That was one of my favorite scenes from the series, during the last episode where you went back in time to see what happened with Miromi and everything. :nod: I really like the way you did this, where they're positioned and whatnot, and the coloring looks great. :clap: Good job! :clap:
