Streetpunx
A millennia ago mankind was enslaved, the earth a barren wasteland used its last drops of soul energy to resurrect our greatest warriors, Achilles, Raam, Zios, Samson and Cosair the horsemen of destiny. They freed humanity and vowed to protect earth for all eternity; the Punx are their latest incarnations. Azoth the demon lord who enslaved mankind is back. This time he wants the astrologers key. It is said that he who can possess the key can open the Vault of heaven and unlock the secret temples, the source of all soul energy. This could very well spell the end for all life. Each human soul is a part of an intricately woven code that makes up the key. He will have to harness the souls of every being to fulfill his dark destiny. Azoth has already begun his attack; the banished realms have all sworn allegiance to him. His armies will crush through the astral sheath that protects earth and overthrow mankind. Scrole, Lynx, Po and Dorma are all that stand in-between Azoth and mankind’s complete annihilation. Born off the earth and sworn to protect. Their uncanny abilities are limitless once honed and mastered. Despite possessing the soul powers of their predecessors, they are still human. Their soul energies react to their individual personalities. Azoth’s goals have raised the stakes higher than before. Earth’s heroes cannot defeat him alone. Man as a species must now awaken his true power and evolve or perish.

good art, story!!!! great work
I love the art style, and that seems to be the general feel here. I just wish the story made a little bit more sense.
This is unbelievable! I can't wait to see more!
No shit man, this is the best artwork I've seen up here- I have nothing negative to say whatsoever, this is all good man
Yo, Leon. Its been great seeing your work competing in the international arena. I beleive you have great punch. Get up and give your best, cus i beleive you are just getting started.

hey man, i agree your work is something that is large scale! cant wait to see what you do with it!!
cheers
Awesome work Leon. Your vision is too big for some I think, this is an epic in the making.
Great job! Good luck leon!
I must say it is great to see a durbanite on Zuda! well done my friend! it is sad that the competition has come to it final hours. you know even if you dont win this one - dont give up - your art style is so manga why dont you try Tokyopop or even Image???
Goodluck man!
Leo my man! your work is rad! i just love it!!but i think it is too big for most guys to grasp... Well done!
Hey Leo you have my vote! i waited till the last minute to see the outcome, imust say you have now got me hooked on zuda! its true from the looks of things - works great but! you do need more support! Great Stuff!
Hey Leon, the guys and i have gotten together and decided to pay our "last respects!" Your stuff is really good! I just wish you had more support from SA though ... but you have ours ... for now! Really proud of you pal!
Your work has a lot of depth and great potential! do not take to heart some of the comments you have received, someone out there will recognise your abilities and potential.. maybe even offer you a animated movie deal or something!!! HINT HINT DC!! anyway wishing you well... Supergirl!
You are right Ziggy, This is mind blowing. Thus far this has been the most exciting month on Zuda. I also cannot understand why Streetpunx is 9th!the art is out there. Leon your art is not even dynamic man it is breath-taking! i dont know why people cannot see what we are seeing.i also hope to see you around man!
I must tell you dude, this is really really awesome! i have no idea why you are still ranking 9th.i think some people say that your screens are too dark because they need to adjust the brightness of their screens!then i think they will see the genius of the one man show.even if you do not win i hope to see you around.why don't you create your own website for the comic? Dude i do hope that more people wake up and vote for you, i would really like to see you win this! good luck
What I think would've been cool is if you sprayed your comic on a wall and then scan the wall in! Very much one of the more dynamic comic on zuda! Good Job!
i might be the only one, but i can't really see what's going on. the darks and neons contrast like crazy but i guess the overall color scheme just doesn't work for me. it's a very interesting premise with all the magic tagging and everything, and the art is REALLY nice... it's not even the colors i don't like... i dunno, just something about.... the brightness, i guess. all that having been said, this is better than 10th place in a phenomenal month of comics.
Outstandig no doubt!This work is in a league of it's own..Why have'nt you won yet??Keep the good work up Leon.It's inspiring and brings out alot more than just awesome artwork.Cant wait to see more in the near future.
Love love LOVE the art man, frickin' amazing. Don't ever tone-down that dynamism, it's brilliant! Definately the best in the current competition, and there's some nice stuff here. I like the premise too, it's promising and I'd like to read more.
However... I really don't like the script AT ALL. It's gotta be bloody tough, particularly with such a visual story, to get your premise across in just 8 pages. But if you're serious about telling your tale as best it can be done I reckon you'd do well to collaborate with a writer, someone who appreciates your vision and brings some great writing to the table. At the moment (in my opinion of course) the script is just too prescriptive, too hackneyed... and a cool premise coupled with such mind-blowing art deserves more.
Hope you take this in the constructive spirit in which it's intended, I bothered writing such a novel because I'm a big fan of your freakin' amazing art and this promising premise.
And BTW, your stuff reminds me of Martin Emond's (RIP) work , which is a compliment I don't hand out lightly.
Good luck bro.
Shuu! what a treat! yes it is fast paced, but something like this cannot be slow... I want more!!!
The art is fab! the colors are really really cool! The story has a lot of potential.. hope to see you climb the ranks!!
hi guys. thanks for all your comments and support.it means everything.this has been an awesome .
Some nice comments for this - It really is a wonder why you are still ranked lower down - The art is dynamic and very catching and I think that the story is intriging enough to add on to at a later stage.
Cool stuff ... i TOTALLY agree Sheldon!!
Such a BEEFY entry for a one man show. BRAVO.
Leon, why you are so low in the ranks is beyond me. I can only put it down to your lack of internet friends, because it sure as hell isn't your art or story that's letting you down. The application of contemporary concepts to a very epic traditional story structure is just fuggin beautiful. And even though your art suffers the "photoshops" every now and then, the line work itself is so kinetic it's inspiring.
i'll tell you what i've told freaurkind (sp?) and Ulysses, don't take this zuda rank as a commentary of your work. Cause you're definately onto something here.
The stylized new school drawings are very good.
The Artist has an amazing ability to portray motion.
The color is top notch. Everything looks exciting even
though the scene takes place at night.
You have my vote.
Really sweet art. This is such a visual treat...it seems like the pace of your storytelling demands more screens to get the story rolling. Love to see more.
MAN! Though it's nice to see someone tell a story visually more than with words, the style of the artwork makes this HARD to understand. Where are we and what are we seeing? So unclear. Too bad, cause this stuff has LOTS of movement. Potential here, for sure!
I think maybe the synopsis could be ... shortened?
I always read the synopsis first, and I still didn't really get the connection to the comic, reading the S first made the comic harder to follow for me. The art was nice but it, and the lack of words left me trying to figure out what was going on, where all the characters were at?????
The art...THE ART...EPIC! I can definitely see this as an ongoing series...especially after the synapsis...nobody takes the time to read them...without that the story wouldn't have flowed. Yuh got me hooked.
Impressive. Hope to see you around if you dont win the compet.
cool concept. the art totally flies.excellent
There is seriously something wrong with the world... i cannot understand... 10th ??!? I must stop reading Promethia!!! it seems that you are right rudis it must be opposite day!!! anyway i think your comic rocks dude !!! the artwork is fantastic!!! I just want to read more!
I know quite a few young graf artists who will be inspired by this! What a better way to inspire them...
yeah, tenth!?! it must be opposite day!
I seriously don't know why you're in 10th. This is effing rad.
The art is very slick. I would've liked to meet more of the characters.
If there's one thing worse than musicians saving the world with rock music it HAS to be grafitti artists doing the same with their spray cans. In my day it was called criminal damage - I distinctly remember the magistrate saying that it wasn't 'cool' and Lee saying we were just trying to make 'our mark' - I think the fine went up when he said that - hehe happy days - not!
-
btw, you need to imagine James Earl Jones reading the synopsis - "It was a time of leg-ends!"
Very dynamic art style, and beautiful colors...those neons really pop.
Killer artwork. I agree with most posts about the story. Just a little too much exposition and not enough mystery. Thumbs up on the concept though!
Eh.
Any connection between Azoth and Azathoth?
BTW - My fiance also likes it:)
dude - outstanding work - very dynamic, colorful, and inspiring
I thought it was spelled with an E, but my computer says your right. How odd.
Fantastic. I'm surprised the average rating is only three...
Beautiful, and the artist should be doing Nike magazine ads, but I find it suprising that this and Melody both have the word "lightning" misspelled...
Great coloring, good story. The art itself is a bit uneasy to follow. I had trouble visually understanding what was going on. Overall though it's pretty good. Especially the coloring, and SFX. Great effort, I would have to reread it to consider it for a vote though.
this art is so expressive and the coloring looks so cinematic I feel like I'm watching an episode of Afro Samurai. This is awesome!
