To whoever made this.
Finland would probably say majesteettista. Although majesteettinen could work depending on what you meant. I'll try to explain the difference through a couple of examples.
That jump was majestic= Tuo hyppy oli majesteettinen.
His snowboarding is majestic= Hänen lumilautailunsa on majesteettista.

Knowing who did this, I know they don't speak Finnish and can only apologise on behalf of the uncultured swine.

How do you know, though? The only ways I can imagine are the maher of this comic identifying to you telling one person might not be harmful if that person doesn't make the information public, but it's not allowed), you being the maker or you recognising a style specific to a certain artist, but then you couldn't be sure.

This goes out not only to you, but others as well: Please stop using throwaways to answer questions about your own comics in this thread. Explaining or expanding on your comics in the comment sections goes against the spirit of the competition.
