Description
Finished this much more quickly than I expected! I think Photoshop and I might have a little something going on now
This is all happening so FAST. >>
So yeah. I was tagged by *nagoyamonkey-smg , but I’ve been secretly wanting to do this so it gave me a good excuse. I decided to Marin-ify the SMOCT meme, so there’s a lot more aqua than necessary.
I have also officially abused the sweatdrop.
I won’t put a mature tag on this unless I have to, but I don’t think the word “hell” is offensive enough for 10 panels’ worth of restriction.
And now for tl;dr comments yayyyyyyy
Panel 1
Hopefully you can read what Marin says over Miran’s blabbering.
Marin’s a culinary student, so it’s natural she’d have a specialty dish. ‘Course, her mentors are disappointed that it’s such a common food item. Ah well.
Panel 2
Keepin’ it real and PG-13.
Also, I’ve never used Photoshop so much before. Usually I just retouch stuff, but this was actually pretty fun once I got the hang of it. Yay for default star brushes!
Panel 3
Yeah, yeah…but you have to admit, retreating IS something special.
Of course, I don’t think the *entire* satellite is under attack by Barid…unless she was really, really mad, maybe. Marin probably stole her panties or something. what a perv
I just wanted an excuse to draw Marin’s facial expression. xD
Panel 4
Why yes. I am from the Internet.
Naw, not really. I’m just a recent immigrant as my friend puts it. But being at Berkeley means you are surrounded by people from the Internet.
Panel 5
I think Miran misread “fight” as “flirt”…poor Maki
Panel 6
A glimpse into Marin-vision. It’s not pretty.
Marin’s actually a huge coward, all bark and no bite. She doesn’t really want to fight anyone, just make friends so she can up her Facebook friend count.
But yeah, IRL going against or or is the last thing I want to do right now…their characters intidimate me so
I started drawing Cardgames’ card…holder…thingy but gave up, so you get a sketchy not-even-arm
(P.S. I feel like Marin looks strikingly similar to Roxie – Rigel’s civilian form. LE GASP. THEY COULD BE SOUL MATES.)
Also this is my first attempt at perspective. Hopefully you can *tell* there’s some perspective in there OTL
Panel 7
Yeah, at first I was going to draw a legit swimsuit, but then my friend put up a profile pic of him in a shark suit…SO KYOOT
Dunno how you can swim in that thing though.
Panel 8
…nothing much to say
Except that I am rather proud of those roses, hahahaha
Panel 9
And this joke has been done a thousand times over, but I did it again. Oops.
Actually, though, Marin’s not planning on deciding on a wish unless she wins. Besides, every time she thinks about it before then, she gets a sudden mysterious flashback. :c
Panel 10
Eh, good practice for drawing the other competitors. And my opponent!
I made sure to choose people who hadn’t chosen.
DOOOOO EEEEET
Even if you already did it last year. Things are different now! Do it again!

Lol, Marin and Miran are too funny together! They're such an awesome duo. And le gasp! Marin and Roxie must be soul mates!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha! Kinda like Abbott and Costello, but definitely not as hilarious
ZOMG~~
Incidentally, Marin is very slightly based on a very old OC of mine (from like elementary school)...whose name was Roxi. TIS FATE.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Omg, IT IS FATE. THE GODS HAVE FATE HAVE MADE THIS SO!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hahaha, I can totally see Marin and Roxie running towards each other in slo-mo, on a beach during a sunset...
even though that's totally OOC but oh well
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It may be OOC, but it would be a beautiful moment.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I never commented on this? 
Haha! I would always find myself going back to your stuff, not only for reference, but because of the sheer hilarity you bring into your stuff X3 Even if you say you're not talented, I still love your drawings. I actually always go to your gallery for reference to draw chibis and such, BECAUSE YOU MAKE IT LOOK SO EASY AND FUN! 
Plus, I am a BIG sucker for puns and Pokemon references, because I such a nerd
And Marin; I'LL BE YOUR FRIEND! I DON'T CARE IF YOU GOT A DIVA GHOST HANGING AROUND YOU! All my friends and family call me the drama queen so I'd probably fit in! 
Sorry, sorry, I gotta find ways to balance my silly and my serious moments XD;; Great job on the meme!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Eeeeee, thank you so much for the kind words! I'm so flustered right now...but I'm so honored you check out my gallery so often! I love the feedback you always give me
I myself am still figuring out my chibi style, among other things, but I'm glad you like the work in progress! Hahahaha!
ALLLLLLWAYS I WANNA BEEEEE WITH YOU
AND MAKE BELIEEEEEVE WITH YOU
AND LIVE IN HARMONY HARMONY OH LOOOOOOVE
But in all seriousness, thank you so much for what you do! Your comments always brighten up my day
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Trust me, I feel your pain, what with me juggling with finishing our SMOCT part and college work XP
Aww, I'm very glad to hear that X3 Mostly because I'm so nervous with my comments because I'm afraid I might come across as weird or mean, when that isn't my intention at all XD;;
The style certainly helps, along with drawing Elanor better because the way you draw her really helps with what I had intended to make her bangs look in an actual anime XD;; Tehe
And you're very welcome, my friend

That was awesome!
And wow, I was tagged (thank you for drawing Butterfly
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, you are tagged indeed!
Hm...yeah, Wanderer's version would be interesting! I can't wait to see it!
Also, question: do Butterfly and Wanderer know Phoenix is on the satellite?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It will be shown in my R1. Phoenix have arrived at the satellite at the time when match-ups was announced. She made a small turmoil by her appearance, and then, after her identity was disclosed, she was taken by Leo to her sister. So yes, they know.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Okay, thanks! I kind of want to give your trio a little scene in my round, which is why I asked.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wow, really? Thank you!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
YAY!! You did it too! *happydance*
I seriously laughed at almost every panel. I think you'd totally beat me in the humor department if we ever fight. XD
Seriously, awesome job. I really like how you draw Tierra. And I LOL'd badly at the Serenity cameo.
I can't wait to see your comic!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
LOL. Actually my Round 1 is rather serious, so I guess this'll make up for all the funny stuff.
Come to think of it, I think my rounds will all be srs bsns...but then, Marin vs Tierra would be an amazing fight. We'll see!
Glad you like it! I do like drawing her hair
Thanks a bunch! Now I really hope I don't disappoint
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, quite a bit of mine is ending up serious too, but then Tierra shows up or does something and everything gets thrown out the window.
And no pressure!! I'm pretty sure my own comic is going to be quite the interesting mess... My story telling skills kinda suck so I guess we'll see how it turns out.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Humor is definitely much harder to convey than seriousness, don't you think?
I mean, it's easy to have a serious plot...but if your jokes fail, then it could be awkward.
Haha, no pressure to you too! I DO want to see how your comic turns out as well
And I think your storytelling skills are fiiiiine.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I am jealous of your pencil skills. *_* So very jealous.
And of course the meme's answers are funny and cute to look at. XD
Squeee, Nut looks cute~

Aw, thanks a bunch! I still feel like I can improve, but that just makes my day :3
Nut always looks cute~

Lol they are going to ship us anyways! LOOOOOLL Queen Serenity.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, those fangirls~
Hur, Serenity's not as calm and regal as she would like to be, I guess. I think deep down she's still a little ditzy.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol maybe just a bit of ditzy XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
ZOMG SHE'S NEKKID!!
2, 4, and 7 are my favorites. xD Awesome meme!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
LOL I'm glad you like! I've never done memes before, so...*burbles*
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Haha, these were good, you were able to make me read your audition, good job XP
just joking, but i just love how you did sailor cardgames
haha, yeah, that stupid dueldisc thing, but your senshi design is one of the reasons why i did it to begin with, compared to your senshi, that dueldisc is a piece of cake! XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ohohoho, my work here is done
But yeah, after struggling with the uniform on her back it actually ended up being really really fun to draw. Glad you like!
HOORAY FOR COMPLICATED SENSHI DESIGNS LOLOLOL
I made it super complex on purpose anyways...idk why though xD
But I promise I will master that dueldisc thing by round 1!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Hahaha I love this. Your characters are so funny 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ehehehehe, thanks a bunch c:
Also, does Leo prefer to walk around in his civilian or senshi form? (aka dark-haired or blond-haired)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Usually blond hair incase something happens. But if it were something casual, like sleeping or watching TV then he would have black hair.
But really, I don't care either way. Draw which ever form you think fits best with your story.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Okees! How would him healing Hazel work? Does he just lift his hand and pretty lights come out?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yea, that would work. And yea, exactly like that
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Oh my Celestia this is full of adorable. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hehehehe yayyyyyy! I'm glad you like!
Your girls are actually quite fun to draw, it surprised even me.
Can't wait to see your Round 1 too! Will you be uploading attack refs soon?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yaaaaaay, I'm glad you like drawing them!
Yeah! They should be up by Friday afternoon. I hope you don't mind if they're just sketches, I'm busy working on round 1, so I don't have much time for inking and coloring the refs.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, it's okay! You can just mention what colors they're supposed to be, or something. I'm probably going to go with grayscale or screentones anyway, so not to worry!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Okay! I'll definitely write little notes on what happens where to make things a little clearer.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Coolbeans! I'm super excited now
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
This made me laugh. A lot. Especially the face on her nekkid transformation and the shark suit. I want that shark suit!! XD
All your tagged people looks pretty, too. I like how Nut always has that deer-in-th-headlights look to her.
And thanks for cameoing Maki!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No prob! I was intimidated by his hair at first, but it's actually pretty fun to draw.
Nekkid transformations and shark suits, oh my! I need to ask that friend where he got his...I don't think his is waterproof.
And thank you! I think Nut and the deer-in-headlights look go together like peanut butter and jelly xD It's like that one Japanese word...moe, I think it's called? Hahahaha
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah his hair is just a bunch of bumpies. Not too hard.
XD I don't care. Just walking around in a shark suit would be pretty fun.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I could totally imagine him in one of those Loreal commercials. Because he's worth it. xD
I think that shark suit needs to make an appearance on the SMOCT satellite sometime. Hmm.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, his hair is supposed to be dreads, but they do look like they should be swung around all over, eh?
=3 pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease shark suit someone. If you don't, I will.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah yes. If only I knew how to draw male models...I could totally see him in one of those ads! xD
Well, it IS Halloween...
Although I don't plan for any costumes. :c
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Marin stealing Barid's panties or some such ilk totally has to happen now. XDc
Also thank you for the cameo! It's like a teeny little early birthday present. *A*
I swear I'll do this meme eventually...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
OMG YES. I need to start writing her as a huge pedo, I mean pervert, I mean nothing ahemhum
You're absolutely welcome! I was hoping to upload it around midnight for you, but I couldn't wait. Heh. Glad I didn't disappoint! xD
