Bk1: Ch2: Pg18
Fiet [off]:Arayanna.
Fiet: Arayanna, can you hear me?
1b.
Arayanna:Fiet, is that you?
Fiet [off]: Yes, dear. How are you? Are you well?
2a.
Arayanna: Yes. Maeye got us to the inn as promised. I have slept well.
Arayanna: How are you? Are you safe?
Fiet: I am a little soggy, but will be just fine.
Fiet: Arayanna, I have found your friends.
2b.
Arayanna: Excellent.
Arayanna: Show me the way and we will be there just as soon as we can.
3a.
Fiet: Not yet. Stay where you are.
Arayanna: What? Why?
Fiet: This storm is incredible. You would never make it in this maelstrom.
Fiet: The girls are certainly captives, but they are being protected and cared for. The Minox have them holed up in a cave resting and waiting out the worst of this storm. They even have a fire going.
3b.
Fiet: I think the girls are safe enough for now.
Arayanna: OK. Stay with them. I will update Maeye.
4.
Fiet: Arayanna, before you go, there is something else you should know.
Fiet: You were right about the number of Minox... there are four of them.
Fiet: But you were wrong about the number of women. There are three women being held captive by the Minox.
Arayanna: That is interesting. Can you describe them, please?
5a.
Fiet: One is blonde with curly hair. She looks rural, tougher than the others.
Fiet: The second has short straight hair that appears to be dyed blue or purple. She is younger and seems a bit dainty to be out here in the wild.
Fiet: The third is a tall, striking woman with long brown hair. Her clothing looks like it was very fine before she was dragged through this storm. She appears to be wealthy and carries herself like she is someone important.
5b.
Arayanna: OK. Thank you, Fiet. I will discuss this with Maeye.
Arayanna: Call me as soon as you think it is safe for us to come out in the storm.
6.
Fiet: I will.
Fiet: Arm yourself well, Arayanna. This is a gnarly looking bunch. And for their master to control them for so long and at such a distance... HE must be very powerful.
Arayanna: Yes, I understand. Stay safe. Keep in touch.
That Arayanna is ready to spring in to action but Fiet is keeping her in check! 😀 How is Fiet talking to her? Do they have some type of telekinetic connection? P.S. Fiet has very beautiful eyes. Her make up compliments her wings nicely.
Fiet has certain magics that allow her to communicate over far distances. Arayanna could not do that without her.
I am glad you like her eyes and her make-up. I wanted to convey birdlike features throughout her face and body. I matched the blue of her eyes to the blue that some crow’s have in their eyes.
Heya friends. Check out our new vote incentive to catch a sneak peek at our two newest characters…Gus and Ryder. 🙂
Yeah, those two look like trouble, and not the fun kind either (how soon before they get killed by the lovely duo?)
They aren’t necessarily bad guys. Well, deep down inside they aren’t bad guys. 🙂 I think you will enjoy Gus and Ryder. By the way, Gus’ last name is Ticuss. 😉
Seriously? You’re just yank-chaining me, aren’t you?
Nope. Gus Ticuss. Or Sticcus. Or Sti’Cus. Something along those lines. I settle for sure before I publish the page.
Umm, wow
Is that cool with you? You have been cool enough to spend all this time commenting and cheering us on, so I thought I would repay the kindness. 🙂
Of course it’s cool with me, it would be an honour to have a character named after me (even though this is not the usual name for me, picked it so could comment on the Girly comments)
Oh, if it hasn’t been set in ink yet, can Gus be the blonde?
Is there a different name you prefer?
No, this name is good enough 🙂
And even though it is a temporary name, while it is being ‘worn’ it is me behind it 😀
Cool. So what do you like better about the blond guy? Weapon choices? Style? Hair? etc. I can switch things around, but he currently has a dragon tattoo on his head that I want to keep with the Ryder character. Other than that, anything can be changed. But if you can, let me know soon. I am working on the next page now. 🙂
It was mostly just the hair colour. The character isn’t me (there is already a collectable trading card for the real me, well, there used to be on the defunct SuperDudes site), so don’t really have any preferences otherwise to how he looks 😀
Although, have always prefered blunt weapons like staves and duel-batons (half-staves, one in each hand, in the hands of someone who knows what they are doing with them, can be more dangerous than a sword)
I agree. Duel-batons can be bad-ass. I actually train with them in real life.
Kinda tough figuring out which girl ‘doesn’t belong’, as in, which one isn’t one of the 2 Fiet was initially sent to track
Take a guess folks! Who is who?
I will give it a go! I think the last girl that Fiet described to Aray (the fancy schmancy one) is the one they were not looking for/tracking. The other two appear to be familiar with each other the way they are huddled up together.
Very good guess! Can you guess which one is Pretah and which is Nori? There are some small clues.
Is the curly blonde the sheep herder cousin, Pretah and the bluey violet haired dainty one Nori?
You got it! Give the lady a prize. 🙂
Can I get a render done by Prentil Studios as my prize?!? 😀
Absolutely. 😀 What would you like?
Can you do 3D models of real people by any chance?
Yes, I think I could do that. Would you like to send me a couple of pics and I’ll see what I can do.
When I put each panel together, I usually do so at a fairly decent resolution and then compress the images down to fit the pages. I was thinking about maybe putting together some kind of voting system so folks could vote for the panel they would like to see in higher rez or something like that. Maybe not every page, but every couple of pages maybe. What do you all think?
Could you post a sample so we could compare the differences in rez to see if it is something worth pursuing as a voting option? I am thinking most of us following the comic are visual people. As such, a visual sample would help us to better answer your question. 🙂 Plus we get a two-fer of one of your fun, sexy renders out of the deal!
A good example would be the incentive I just added to the incentives gallery.
If you meant that big panel of Fiet squatting on that weird looking tree-thing, then sounds an idea
LOL. Yes, that’s the one. I know you love that tree. 🙂
Damn, I hate for my first post to be a quibble, particularly when the comic is so good, but in a storm and wind Fiet’s wings would be tightly furled to keep her from being blown off her perch. Just sayin’. Minor point. Love the comic. I check every day, just in case you sneaked an update in on me while I wasn’t looking.
Thank you for the compliments and the quibble. I seriously do not mind folks pointing ideas or discrepencies. (There actually is a pretty big mistake on this page that no one has pointed out yet. 🙂 ) I take in all the constructive criticism I receive and try to use it to help me grow as an artist and a storyteller. I will most likely not go back and make any changes as I prefer to focus on moving forward, but I will definitely learn from my mistakes and from ideas of others.
I am very glad you are enjoying the comic. Please feel free to comment anytime. 🙂
Doesn’t really look very windy to me, the rain is falling straight down
A pretty big mistake? Hmmm, can’t see anything, but it is getting late and need time to scrutinize every inch of Aray’s body for any ‘errors’ (even if it is not with Aray, still need time to scrutinize :P)
LOL. It is certainly a body worth scrutinizing. 🙂
I completely agree. She is quite gaze worthy. Long and lean and mysterious. Such a sexy combo. Think I will take a cue from Guesticus and go scrutinize her for awhile. 🙂
The answer is giving in the comments for pg17
I’m guessing it has to do with the light source, which doesn’t seem to be the lightning.
Figured that was from the fire in her room
Many apologies for the delay folks. A new page will be out this evening. I was very close to finishing yesterday and then was hit with some real life distractions. Just one last panel to finish and text and it will be done and posted.
