Blood Rose is a complete short story I did for a Tokyopop Rising Stars of Manga entry. Unfortunately, I confused the contest's due date with that of another contest I was entering. I just barely noticed in time and as a result, had to create this comic- script to storyboard, pencil to ink to toning and texting- all in four days. It was like a super comic marathon at my house that week ^-^;

Luckily, I'd already had the story in mind... like most of my comics, it was based on a dream I'd had a few months before. I was a little disappointed that my entry had to be in English because the original dream was in French but C'est la vie...

I hope you enjoy this little comedy of romance, deception and just rewards ^-^
