Wonderfully individual panels, all four of them, but for me it doesn't really come together as a whole.
The last two transitions are somewhat less than successful, only small parts of them join up with the panel above. How come?
How odd that this one also contains a lot of heads/faces, just like the previous corpse.

I mean *wonderful* not wonderfully. On it's own each of the panels is really something.

yea, this is the first one i've ever done so i had some trouble blending since all I had to work with was just tan smudges. I think it looks ok though. not incredible but ok.

Each continuer seems to have tried "a little bit"

Crikey, are those stingrays headed toward the ballerina?

I guess we all had difficult strips to work with. At least for me I had no idea what was there before me and it looked kinda watery so I went with that.
And I guess that for my part getting a rather complicated strip to work with made me create a rather complicated end strip as well :/

As for the stingrays... they have nothing to do with Steve Irwin... it's a picture I took two days before making this slice when I was at a zoo and thought it was a nice underwater picture. And Steve Irwin wasnt dead yet at that moment.
But now I think about it.. it is rather weird that a corpse with Stingrays gets posted about a week after that happened..

I like this - even with it's disjunctness!
Each panel has it's own identity, and there is some fantastic imaging within them.
MetalEar - I particularly like yours. Is that made form "borrowed" images or from your own?
Photography is extreamly hard to blend well, and although the last two pannels do show a clear seam, at least there is some thought of what has come above and not entire seams.
It's interesting that the blendness sides are oposite each other too- if you squint your eyes a little they could just be folds in the paper.

while none of the panels blends together perfectly, i think there are elements and themes carried throughout the piece that kinda make it all hang together. there are these supernatural monsters, disasters and near-misses throughout, and the whole corpse dissolves from a watery theme into an inferno in the last panel.

mmm. no thanks.

Oh, well...they can't all be 10's.

Hey quackling - yip, the images are my own. Went through a "zombie" phase where all I wanted to do was make people look undead... Hmmm, so much for photo retouching! :)

These panels all stridently convey their things, and make lovely frames for each other. And each deserves better.
Keep in mind that your panel's label similarly *contributes* to *the larger whole*, and like your panel [intuited from then informing 15 pixel slices] is by definition incomplete.
If lexis w/o syntax gives you itchy mental hives, try thinking of your panel position as a part of speech. Not a complete, fully realized, heaven-forfend-discreet phrase, but a needy, slutty, swinging-from-the-chandelier-with-the-other-three-players' part.
Fresh verse is a sure symptom of Princely Syndrome.
