12/01/07 [#50] - TREEEEEE! Er, CHREEEEE!

stiletto · December 01, 2007, 07:50:46 PM

Jason may be in temporary trouble, but Jig seems to be in it for the long haul... and boy does that tail look painful. But, as usual, she has Cyprus to comfort her.

And all that text in the background of the first panel, I assume that's hearing people's thoughts. Did half of the room really see it? Or are those just Slick's thoughts?

Reese Tora · December 01, 2007, 08:04:26 PM

I think the top line is slick's thoughts... the second line is the mirror image fo the first line... and I can't really make out the rest through the characters in the foreground.

techmaster-glitch · December 01, 2007, 08:06:45 PM

No, all of the thought bubbles are Jigsaw's thoughts, it's that one speech bubble to the left that's Slick's.

xHaZxMaTx · December 01, 2007, 08:13:14 PM

They're talking about the text in the background, tech.

llearch n'n'daCorna · December 01, 2007, 08:30:13 PM

What I can't figure out is what the hell is going on in the second panel. Or third, if you include the inset Slick, I guess...

It looks like Adharia is grabbing Jig's arms... but what's going on to cause Jig such pain?

stiletto · December 01, 2007, 09:17:00 PM

That's all Jig, multiple images of her I think to show her falling over. And she's in pain from hearing all the voices of everyone in the room thinking.

AndersW · December 02, 2007, 11:29:21 AM

Whats the "CHREEEEE!" sound effect being used for in the second panel? I can figure out what is happening, but I think it could be a little clearer.

stiletto · December 02, 2007, 01:38:16 PM

Uh, I guess that's how Talmi scream...?

AndersW · December 02, 2007, 01:55:10 PM

It could be that or it could be something else. We are not exactly sure here.

Jigsaw Forte · December 02, 2007, 03:26:46 PM

I'd hoped the title at the bottom would be a clue, but oki:

She's clutching her head, falling / screaming, and in pain. Adharia's nowhere nearby at this point (it's happening too fast).

Currently everyone in the room is OMG'ding at once (mentally, at least), and she's bascially... well, in her attempt to keep her eyes shut and have as little outward reaction as possible (because she knows that's caused trouble previously), it's backfired on her because the entire room is blaring mentally. It's like closing your eyes right before a rock concert so you don't have to deal with the flashing lights, but instead the music kicks in and you're already too damn close to the speakers.

In short, she's having a panic attack, and nobody else in the room is clued in to it because they can't hear what she's hearing. For relative terms of 'hearing', of course.

llearch n'n'daCorna · December 02, 2007, 04:56:17 PM

I figured that was likely it...

... and if you hadn't answered, that would have been my guess as to -what- was happening, at least.

Now that you mention it, yes, the second panel -does- look a bit more obvious. d'oh.

Reese Tora · December 02, 2007, 06:00:49 PM

I think this applies:

I wonder what (can't remember her name right now) is going to say to Jigsaw. Its sure to be an interesting conversation.

Edit: I think her name is Cypress. We so need a cast page.

Well, how'd ya like it done? I keep delaying for lack of ideas on the Cast images...

stiletto · December 02, 2007, 11:39:08 PM

If you don't mind drawing new pictures for it, there's always the ever popular candid photos. Characters doing weird stuff. Jig taking a giant drink from a bottle of something, uh, powerful. Vaeo fixing his hair to stay in that amazing peak it does. Adharia beating the crap out of the camera man for spying on her while she's changing...

Well, that's my two cents anyway.

llearch n'n'daCorna · December 03, 2007, 11:05:33 AM

... Jason having his mug shots taken...

Heck, you could mug shot all but the volunteers.

AndersW · December 03, 2007, 02:32:47 PM

Drivers license pictures?

stiletto · December 03, 2007, 06:33:08 PM

Mug shots seemed a bit cliche, but then again, these would probably be Last Resort mugshots ("What kind of prison is this?!").

And that evil grin worries me. I'm still haunted by your original cast page concepts...

Oh, good. Glad I could help. ;-]

... can't wait to see the results.

Neither can I

What are you going to do for the ones that don't have mug shots, like Jig and the host.

Jigsaw Forte · December 03, 2007, 11:29:30 PM

Remember, mugshots are taken at time-of-arrest, so this means . . . we're going to end up with some very interesting photos for some of these characters. For a lot of 'em, it'll be the first glimpse into their backstories as well.

As for the other characters, I have plans for 'em too, but I want to do the mugshot series first.

stiletto · December 06, 2007, 02:46:50 PM

Alas, some of these prisons really should invest in more reliable storage methods of their mugshots....

Heheheh...

Reese Tora · December 16, 2007, 07:25:13 PM

Of couse, I have to wonder is anyone's noticed that three mug shots are already up on a certain art site.

(nice, BTW, with the mug shot of Kurt being "corrupted" from the neck up.

)

The fourth is over at DeviantArt. I'm just waiting on Llearch to do some general coding for the profiles while I write up the stuff (deciding how much info should be 'available' is harder than it sounds) before I post any.

llearch n'n'daCorna · December 17, 2007, 09:11:19 AM

... and I'm waiting on finding time to do it, when I'm not hip-deep in other issues.

Like deciding if I'm going to hand in my notice or not.

stiletto · December 17, 2007, 10:27:38 AM

You thinking of quitting you job? What is it that you do?

llearch n'n'daCorna · December 17, 2007, 11:21:31 AM

I run 120 odd webservers.

stiletto · December 17, 2007, 04:14:12 PM

Yeeg.

What would you do instead?

I assume the answer involves some form of "NOT running 120-odd webservers."
