Cast Page Revisals

With DMFA turning ten, I figured it is high time for me to finally upgrade all the art in the cast pages.  My general goal is to get hopefully one done per update but at worst at least one a week.

The new pages are going to get a bit trimmed as well to cut out spoilers and are a bit more simplified to give mainly just some personality info.  So if there was some insane desire to archive old info, I suppose this is warning for people to do so.   Also a good chance for people to shake out spelling typos.  There are also a couple characters that are likely going to be added/dropped from the cast page roster, so consider this a warning as well.  Which ones, well, thats for me to suprise you with. :B

I'm mostly just going down the row updating them, but I will say that if there was a particular character people would like to see upgraded artwise first, bribes of $5-$10 along with the name of said character are always acceptable forms of bribery. :U

So far done:
Dan
Wildy
Mab
Jyrras
M.A.C.E. / Deathbringer
Pip
Lorenda

Up next:
Alexsi

James StarRunner

I don't suppose we can bribe you in other ways for those us who know not what money is?

Oh wow, the return of the robe. These really will be spoiler-free cast pages then... but it also makes it seem outdated :E HMMM...

I am looking forward to these!

My Predictions:

Let go cast pages:
-Basement rats
-possibly Azlan, Merlitz and Aaryanna
-most likely Aliyka

Additions:
-definitely Bernadette (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_764.php)
-possibly Rose (...>>)
-and more...?

Character I would most like to see included: Mink :3

Ah heh...yeah....funny that.

I originally intended to announce the cast page until after tonights comic but go figure I got pulled away to work on stuff so the comic got delayed. :B

You are correct Kattuccino though that the basement rats and Aliyka are two that will be getting phased out in the revisal.  They're just far too rare an occurance to really warrent full cast pages in my opinion.

I am also partial to bribes of a vacuum cleaner but I expect that one is a bit more troublesome than money. XD

The main reason I am kind of fidgety for money isn't bill related (though uhg...christmas is gonna eat my face and wallet!) but I've been really in need of a vacuum.  My house is like...dust central now. D:

I wish I could help with the vacuum. But ya... money would be easier and I don't even have that... While you're looking this way though, James wanted to show you this: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v129/jaguarstarrunner/Dan.jpg

So Wildy is the next one to be changed? Cool. Ironic, to be honest though. I thought that Wildy had one of the more "updated" images in terms of style and skill, in comparison to the rest of the cast page. The current one really shows her personality through her expression and pose, in contrast with Mab's pic, which gives her a bit of a .... herp-derp look, to be honest.  :3

That being said, I see how GREAT the new Dan profile image is, and I'm looking forward to seeing the new updates...


And Ten Whole Years of DMFA.... Well, that settles it. I'm going to have to mail the comic (via artist) a Birthday present Amber. It'll be a bit belated while I try to think of something good, as well as scrounge some cash together, but it'll arrive eventually. (That being said, I'll need a mailing address. But not until I have the gift ready.)
I'm just a little bit... Aiene, Geisteskrank, Insano, Elnebajos, Vansinnig, Fou, Atamagaokashii, Gek, Dolzinnig, Hullu, Gila, Meschuge, Nebun, Dement... INSANE.

Dan is looking so much happier and adventuresome now.

I forgot to post that earlier.

Ya, that... Could I use that as a bribe to get Lorenda done? :B

Looking at the new cast page, and I have to wonder, is Dan left handed?
Someday, when we look back on this, we'll both laugh nervously and change the subject. More is good. All is better.

Hm, I never noticed before, but after going back through most of the archive, I'm beginning to think you are right. Either that, or hes at least partially ambidextrous(which is actually pretty common among southpaws).

Buahahaha, when I saw the comic today I thought "well played Amber, well played" :D

Anyways, Wildy and Mab have both been upgraded.

Actually, Rose has been in the cast pages the entire time. However, because of a disclamer on her page I'm not allowed to give a link or give any details on what it says. However, Amber will probably make major alterations and post it on the main cast page or just update the picture and leave it where it's at.

I think there's a ban of some sort on that.  An ambargho, if you will.

Welcome aboard, Darkbunny. I think you'll fit in nicely.

Have a souvenir coffee mug.

...Also, I'm kinda tempted to grab Rose's page myself. I'm just not sure about the whole "being a creepy hoarder" thing.

If Amber deletes the-pages-we-know-not-of, will we finally be allowed to talk about the-pages-we-know-not-of? Or do they become the-secret-of-the-'cool'-kids?

Well, I tried sending Amber a 5$ bribe 10$ bribe, but not sure if I did it correctly.
Voted for Deebs / M.A.C.E (or whetever her name is) because they are so out there, that any new reader seeing them for the first time is going to think ???

Ah well, they are on the list I see, so it must have worked. :)

I am seriously wondering if there is a way to top Mab's cast update  :kirby. Sure the original was very cute and playful but it's nothing compared to this.

Mab's new cast page is indeed very cute and playful.
But then, she also has friends that sometimes gives her cookies, or even .. *gasp* .. muffins ! :D

In the Portal game, the cake was real !
But evil rumors have it that Mab ate it !

It's not true, she only hugged it a little bit!
With her mouth.
