Hello, and Welcome to The City.
That's the name; The City. Different people and different cultures call it all sorts of different names, but us here, the locals, just call it The City.
The City is a large place. Very large. We have three main areas- Techside, which normal people on Earth would say is Science fiction central. Mythside, where, you guessed it, myths and legends reside. If some culture has a fairy tale about it, odds are it lives somewhere in Mythside. Then, right smack dab in the middle is Steampunk Alley. It's for people who like technology but also dabble in magic- and yeah, lots and lots of steam and pipes and cogs, gears and wheels, all that fun stuff.
All of this is surrounded by a Wall, or "The Wall" if you want to make it title. The Wall serves as a sort of guard- Oh, I forgot to mention didn't I?
The City exists at the very center of a sort of.. web of dimensions and worlds. All kinds of worlds exist, parallel universes and alternate realities. Anyway, the City serves as the very center of the web for all these different worlds, and The Wall is the thing that keeps them all out, but also allows them in when it's needed. You can't go over the Wall, or under it, but that's okay- the Wall can create gates, doors, whatever is needed to pass through it. It's steady as the earth below your feet and as long lasting as the sun in the sky.
Or it was supposed to be.
We need your help.
Because the Wall that protects us, that keeps everything in order and makes sure we don't get outside worlds and dimensions warping our very plane of existence into a slurry of chaos and death, has a crack in it.
Yeah, a crack. Not good. The Wall isn't supposed to have a crack in it or any sort of damage. No one in the City can fix it, and no one in the City can stop it from slowly spreading. So we're sending out a call for help into all the worlds and dimensions that are connected to the City. We need fighters- people who have the will and the power to fix this thing.
If you fix it, you will receive a reward. You will get a world that is entirely your own- one you create, that fills your heart's desire. If you want a lost loved one back, they will be waiting for you there. If you want riches, you will have a world of gold and gems. If you want to rule a world, then you will have a place where you reign supreme.
Without your help, not only our world but all the worlds connected to The City will die.
Help us. Please.

The City final
~1nky (https://www.deviantart.com/1nky) Vs. :iconStingdragon:
:icondarkkitsunegirl: All right then, let’s kick things off with 1nky’s round.
1nky has consistently given us strong, clear rounds, and her entry does not fail us this time. I am more than pleased with the quality of art, and writing 1nky has crafted for the finale. Nice, sharp lines and what I am starting to see as a signature use of color in strategic places make this round a visual pleasure. Even the ‘sketchier’ pages still had a nice sharp look to them.
The writing is what really makes it shine. We

~0tacoon (https://www.deviantart.com/0tacoon) VS :iconstingdragon:
:icondarkkitsunegirl:
What a good match to kick off the semifinals with. Both competitors brought strong skills to the table, and both gave us good rounds to read.
Scortches gave us a visually appealing round, with a nice little plot flowing through it. I have to say though, just like in his last round, he seemed to downplay his opponent’s character and plot so that they were mere footnotes, and it detracted from the overall comic. I loved the return of Hido, a nice little bit of plot convenient Deus Ex Machina there, but it helped the story along. Not much to sa
