The last panel is modelled after these anime shots in which 3 layers move at different speeds… the BG slowly, the character a bit faster, the debris in the foreground the fastest. I'll have to animate this at some point ^^

Also, this page would obviously seem much more dynamic if I could have included sound FX. But alas, there's no atmosphere!

EDIT:

TheMidge28: I wouldn't wanna answer that quite yet, although it's definitely a good question! Wait until page 6, then tell me what you think…
DAJB: I didn't even know what BSG stands for until I googled it– yes, I am that lame! ^^
Nepath: Actually I never read Alita, although it was one of the earliest manga being published in Germany. I recall the artwork though, so I appreciate your compliment ^__^
Rockster & Stevesan: Thanks for the support.
Fitz: I'm not familar with FF8, but your question I'd intuitively answer with a "yes". However, I'm not sure terms like organic or anorganic even apply here, just like terms of gender which I'm playing with (see my answer to Midge on the following page).
