What is FLUX?

Mim Sin Nun...

Inilah akronim yang tidak dapat dimasuki oleh pelajar-pelajar bangsat pada Al-Ithnayn.

Selain itu...aku sungguh kecewa pada ujian Lukisan yang pertama. Aku mendapat gred C. Tetapi ini tidak mengapa. Kesemua yang dapatku jawab telah diberi markah penuh. Segala puji bagi Yang Maha Kuasa. Sekarang terpaksalah aku menimbang berapa kelas yang harus aku menghadiri dan memontengi.

So yes, if you've visited FLUX gallery, they're actually works of Sequential Art module. In total there are four. I don't remember the titles, so bear with me as I comment as far as I can recall..

1. Theres this bear and mouse? Coloured pic. Erm with some Chinese text. So next!
Score: Woupuzhetao/10

2. Drawn by a classmate, the story begins with a woman bailing his male acquaintance out. All I see next is gunshots for vengeance of one of them brother's death. Not bad. Probably can digitalize its lines for easier visuals. But overall it's OK
Score: BangBang/10

3. Drawn by Neo, it follows the journey of a warrior fighting his opponent in a tournament. Suprises abound, but this story is centralized to its battle sequences. Cool focus lines and that whoosh things that pass by the protagonist's face when hit by darts? All in all, I like. Hi5!
Score: Yourpathliestoyourleft/10

4. Classic dolltime story mixed with mecha fights. A teddy bear is brought home by its new owner. However, the newcomer finds wrath from one of the owner's toys. The ending of the fight is funny, but the post-ending is even more funnier. Oof! Takes the humour cake for moi.
Score: Karmaorlifejustsux/10

5. Manga-oriented work, complete with its typical art and the supernatural content. A lone boy seeks friendship with a girl, and everything's all well after the encounter. Until that everything sees the encounter, or can they? OK, so I think with the complete pieces, together with the coloured title page and outro, it has its own right to be published appropriately.
Score: HaveachancetowinMangaka/10

Afterthoughts: These stories are really great, if the creators can complete their story (if any). Although these short strips stand alone, they are enough to entice their audiences with the intended content. Some peers have already commented that the gallery is a thumbs-up, but you guys have to see them for yourselves. I just love to read peers' art and literature. Now if it was me, I'll give up after one panel, minus the bad artwork and clumsy storyline. So good job, artists!
