As creators, we all have that one piece of work (chapter/episode) that just stands out to us even 20+ episodes later. So, show this forum your absolute best!

BUT

Only like others works if you genuinely do, because I don't know about you, but I like genuine likes on my magnum opus :blep:

Anyway, here's mine. Feel free to comment what you think :heart:

Literally called Magnum Opus. It's my book, "Lyra's Magnum Opus". Chapter 7 (it's two parts) features the main character, Sana, having a heart attack as a result of his chronic illness. He is in a rock band called Lyra and dating another musician named Tetsu. The chapter shows his friends finding out about his medical crisis and forces them to confront the most difficult situation they've ever had to face as a band. The conversation between Sana's best friend Yami and his boyfriend Tetsu makes every reader sob every time. We find out that Sana's illness was always terminal and only his best friend knew besides Sana. Yami informs Tetsu that Sana wanted to be cremated in a white dress in the event that he unexpectedly passed away, showing Tetsu the seriousness of this and changing his life. This chapter leads the message of the book, which is about friends and family coming together to love their loved one in the most difficult of circumstances.

Chapter three is my favorite so far.

Chapter Three - They’re Being Eaten

When it comes to monsters, there’s never really any distinguishing between fact and fiction. Even the most absurd of myths can turn out to be true, so it’s always better to err on the side of caution. That being said, Caspar didn’t realize he’d ever have the bad luck to encounter something so foul. It’s the monster even the most experienced hunters whisper about, praying it’s just a myth gone awry: A demon.

The woman’s unnatural colored eyes and pentagram make it extremely clear this monster can’t be anything else. Caspar’s heart races with a strange mixture of excitement and fear.

“There’s no need to be nervous,” she coos, standing.

Despite her petite frame and doe-like eyes, Caspar's whole nervous system is flushing hot and cold. Preparing for fight or flight. He takes a step back pointing the knife he’d been concealing at his enemy.

She only smirks, brushing a dark lock of waist-length hair over a pale, white shoulder. “That’s really not needed.”

“What do you want?” Caspar growls.

“It’s not what I want that's important here. It's what you need to know. I have some vital information you could use.”

“Oh yeah? I’m sure you’d love to trick me into some shitty contract for it.”

“You’re afraid. That’s smart, considering your situation. However, I am not the immediate threat here.”

Caspar grits his teeth. “Not the immediate threat. Cute wordplay. I'm not contracting you and I won’t give you my soul.”

“I’m already in a contract. I want out. All I need from you is your help, not your soul. I need a hunter.”

OMGGGGG! You're gonna make me cry like a baby :heart: I wasn't expecting such an in depth review! Thank you so much for reading and liking my work :blep:

Danggit, I read your magnum opus chapter...and then started reading from the beginning! You got me hooked XD Guess I gotta catch up now over the weekend hopefully...

As for my magnum opus, this is the beginning episode of a 16-episode story arc (or I guess "chapter") that I did for my one-year anniversary. It's a murder mystery involving chickens and owls. At one point, I was doing 30 panels in a week which was insane. Also contains some animated panels at the last part, which was really fun.

You don't have to sub/like/read the whole thing, it is kinda long.

Good luck in the AF tourney!

I think it's this particular episode I really like in both the art and writing... As well as the Emerson quote

Yes... I have experienced the same thing Claudita is expressing here... But to a much less extent.


From my other comic, this chapter stands out... Not so much because of the art but because of the writing which I can still appreciate even if it was done in 2008... But I honestly think my writing deteriorated but we'll see...

I'm gonna be real with you, I'm not convinced I've made my magnum opus yet. While I think Trespasser, my current project, is pretty good, I wouldn't grant it the title of magnum opus.

I'll link Trespasser regardless, but know I feel like I'm many years away, if not decades, from achieving a work I'd call my magnum opus.

So far I would have to choose chapter 5 part one and two . Where Elyn and Elias are reunited for a brief moment.

Elyn is trying to solve the mystery of her brother’s disappearance while also guiding souls to the afterlife.

Still my favorite chapter. I just really enjoyed writing it, everything fell in place perfectly.

I don't know how I managed to make such a good conclusion to one of the messiest set of chapters I made (The original plan I had for chapters 5 and 6 were completely changed).
And on top of that I introduced some plotpoints a lot sooner than I anticipated, which is great! With some new ones that work in tandem with them.
AND at this point is when my artstyle cemented itself, which only got better from here on out.

The Sun - War Of Gods Begins

Synopsis:

In a world where gods walks among the mortals, a young boy named Aryan is unexpectedly thrust into the divine realm, Following an untimely accident, he awakens not as the boy he once was, but as the Radiant Luminary—one of the most being in the world, The sun god- Aurelion Blaze.

As he grapples with his new existence, he uncovers a dangerous truth—gods are not the pinnacle of creation. An ancient race to ascend beyond even godhood has begun, with deities vying to steal each other’s authority.

Amid the chaos, alliances crumble, and a hidden war erupts, threatening to unravel the fabric of the universe. With powers far beyond his understanding and enemies on all sides, Orion must navigate this treacherous path, where even gods can fall. The war of Gods has begun.

for the way it allows people a peak into the mind of a character who seems virtually emotionless to everyone in her life and allows her to become human

Because i actually succeeded in making my editor feel the characters fear and panic when he read this chapter

Chapter 1 Part 12 is my magnum...for now. Specifically the page where Scamp's special movie, Crescent Cleaver, makes its debut for the first time. For various reasons, I was working on this chapter for close to 4 years when I finally reached this page. I was both hyped and nervous because I would finally get to illustrate Scamp's main attack for the first time, but I was also scared I wouldn't be able to deliver. That it would fall flat and not make a good first impression. Thankfully, I feel like I was able to and this is possibly my favorite page out of that chapter

This is probably one of the top three best chapters out of the nearly 100 i've written so far. i can't pick between it and the others. But it's the culmination of an emotional build-up, all the details and hints here and then that readers have received about my lead's life come to a head here with this emotional breakdown that almost drives her off the edge

(it's very emotional, tw//)
