Love it! Moving from black and white to colour is a great touch. I envy your talent at drawing swords (and talent in general, really...) You have such a unique touch, and it's really refreshing. <3

Go team EWE!

Your artistic style bears a striking similarity to that of one of my favourite comic artists of old, and the emotion in your piece has made me nostalgic to revisit my bagged and boxed collection.

I love in particular the black and white and grey-washed panels at the beginning, where they are alone and overflowing with complicated thoughts.

Very well done.

Nicely done. I like the transition from black and white to colour. The top panels have such a feeling of desolation and despair.

Wonderful!

I really love the whole over all look and feel of this. The transition from B&W to color, the transation from isolation to being connected, from emptiness to feeling. There are so many lovely details like the cracked glass under Draco's feet in III, the onlookers in II, and the hesitency of half leaning in and half pushing away in I. Wonderful work.
