Very minor gripe/ctriticism: Maeye’s arm/shoulder looks really wonky in panel 12. Only reason I noticed is because I went back over the page multiple times. 🙂
Good; now maybe Arayanna will take Maeye to bed without feeling guilty or awkward about it.
As an aside, I play a text-based fantasy-adventure webgame called Gemstone. One of the professional classes there is called “empath”; they function as healers by using their psychic abilities to transfer wounds from others to their own bodies, and then using their magic to heal themselves. Usually there is no problem, but an inexperienced empath can kill themselves by transferring more wounds than they have mana to heal. This looks like a somewhat similar process.
That is really cool. I used to get mad anytime I thought of something and then found out that someone else had the same idea. Now I just think I kind of validates my ideas if someone else thought it was good enough to publish. Of course, when it comes to stuff like this, it is damned near impossible to be truly original. Brandon Sanderson is the only guy I know out there coming up with truly original stuff these days.
The empath class in that game sounds like a nod to the episode “The Empath” from Star Trek: The Original Series. Strangely enough the empath in the episode was named Gem.
I like the technical details, the idea of setting up a circuit and then giving it a purpose, even if it sounds like an excuse to get Aray out of her top 😉
<3 <3 <3 Excellent work. This page is stunning. I read through it and declared "hooray" when I was done! Those last few panels really got to me. Aray and Maeye have a love for each other that the reader can truly see and feel inside and out. To experience that kind of love is the best magic of all! <3 <3 <3
Also, I really like the glow effect you use for the mana on this page (and others). It has an electric sparkle to it that makes it seem properly magical. I wonder — do you imagine the healing magic as creating any sound, or should it be thought of as silent?
Yes, I do imagine the magic makes a sound. I used to have a collection of mp3 sound effects. I’ll see if I can dig it up and if I find something that fits I’ll post it.
Have often felt magical healing would work via the healer ‘sucking out’ the injury, makes equal sense that they would be ‘pumping in’ the healing-energy, just not sure if thought of it like a circuit before, but filtering the injury like a dialysis machine totally works
There is no words to properly describe the awesomeness of this comic, graphics, story, WOW! Total masterpiece! I was left confused after reading the last few pages because in my mind I was thinking that your comics could not get better than the material you had published before because they were already so HQ, and now THIS! Thanks so much!
Wow! Thank you! Those are some serious compliments. 😀 I am very glad you are enjoying the comic and equally glad you have joined our community. I look forward to hearing from you more.
At last!
😀
Very Nice

You are absolutely right. That looks weird as hell. Damned Daz models.
Yeah, looks like the shoulder stretched just so we could see her bewb 😉
Thank you.

Interesting case of parallel development.

Have to go back and rewatch that one. Thank you. Any excuse to rewatch a TOS episode is always appreciated. 😀

Also, on that last panel words fail me <3
Thank you and thank you and thank you. 😀
Nothing says ‘I love you’ like healing someone of a mortal wound. This is the way most clerics get laid. 😀
I agree! Haha.

D’aww, that last panel is adorable!

Has Aray always had such golden-yellow eyes? Or is that just due to the lighting? o_O
Aray’s eyes are storm grey. They seem to reflect and take on the color of the lights very well.
Hadn’t noticed both of their teeth turned a golden yellow as well
Wait, how long have they been resting? And Maeye didn’t drool once? o_O

😀 Full body dialysis. 😀
