Well, he is a Fae so he might not seem effeminate to his own species, but to me he looks pretty gay. And the way he worded his first statement along with his hand gesture makes me think he has the biggest gay lisp ever. I could be wrong though =P

Why do some characters like him and Regina wrap their legs?

If I might post some speculation:

Queen Nutmeg is Mab's mother. (I mean seriously, who hasn't argued with their parents before.) Since she's going to die, then that means that Mab becomes queen.

Hail Mab!

I wonder if death isn't really sad for the Fae who die?  I wonder if it's more like they've lived a long life, and they have no regrets, so why not just die?  Sounds peaceful.

Remind me not to play poker with you... ok?

But anyways, now I must say this is one big mess. With Jyrris and Lorenda's little miscommunication, Dan running from abel (with an axe for the record) and now Mab is going too miss out on a hike in the mountains. Curse you random messenger.

...With that said can we shoot the messenger now?

Well, death is apparantly not such a permanent thing for fae, although it may mean the end of whatever "role" they happen to be playing at the moment. Annoying, inconvenient, and certainly ruins Mab's chances of a proper adventure, but not truly a tragedy or anything.

QuoteIt does seem though that death on the plane of Furrae is only temporary as there have been many Fae who supposedly died but later return only to start a new role on a new stage...
Add those together.  Might be a little more serious than you guys are thinking...

I don't hate you for it.  I don't even hate you for posting it instead of PMing it.  It's just that whenever I see someone posting typos that aren't interesting/funny, it just looks to me like that person is expecting Amber to come down and say, ``Oh!  You've spotted my typo!  I'm now showering you with riches!  Here, have a metric tonne of bay leaves!''

I should emphasize that that's obviously not what you're doing.  I'm mainly saying this for the benefit of new members and other people; it's just that that's how most people come across when they do it.  No one else needs to know, just you and Amber.

Well NERR.  Note to self: read strip, THEN read thread, THEN possibly message Amber with correction.  And I know that I'm not on her good side.  I may just be a nobody for now, but I'm definitely not on her good side.  This can only make that worse.

At least I tried to be apologetic...  Is there a way to un-send PMs?

What I find curious is that in Demo101, it doesn't say anything about Fae actually dieing.  This may launch us into an entire philosophical discussion on the nature of Fae life, death, and birth.  What if all Fae are actually immortal and born at the same time?  If that's the case, Mab's parents would just be her adoptive parents, and she's been playing their daughter the whole time.

On the other hand, some mythologies(most, actually, now that I think about it) actually have gods with the ability to die, so maybe they get to obey a different set of rules on the plane of Furrae than in the Fae Kingdom.

As for Mab taking this well... well, it's Mab.  She seems often more scatterbrained than Azlan, the only other Fae we really have to compare her to.

Until now, at least.

Hmmm, well like its been said mabye their role is over, so now their character dies, but they are reborn into a new role. Kind of like a binding magical agreement for a form of immortality. I suppose the signs of when a role is coming to an end could be that their magical potential is greatly weakened as their spirit prepares itself to be reborn.

Not on her bad side, per-se, but the most recognition I've had was accidentally getting an older Abel's Story thread locked because I didn't want to leave well enough alone until I found out whether Hennya's race has defined genders or not.(for the record, it would appear ALL races of Furrae have well-defined genders, so nobody need bother asking ever again.)  Amber doesn't know me personally, and likely would not recognize the user name "Fuyudenki" for any particular reason, so I probably don't have anything to worry about, but I'm always paranoid about incurring the wrath of those I look up to... largely webcomic artists.  In that light, I've just contributed to what appears to be a massive tidal wave of "you've got a typo!" nags; probably the thing that annoys webcomic artists the most.

Maybe I've just played one too may dating sims.(hmm... that would be... two!  Two dating sims!  ah ah ah ah!)

Post by: Fuyudenki on May 04, 2007, 01:11:15 AM
Ah!  That, I can answer!

SHORT VERSION
Lots of practice, and lots of reference material.

OBSCENELY LONG AND BORING VERSION
Speaking from my own experience, learning to draw well is simply a combination of choosing your style(in this case, a fairly realistic cartoonish style), then studying the world around you, and practicing constantly.  There are countless manuals which have actually been written on art, and if you find a good one, then it'll serve you well no matter the particular style you choose.

For my personal experience, I started around age 8, with a very simple manual on how to draw cartoons, which illustrated the basics: perspective, overlap, layering of your drawing, basic shapes, and basic shading.  Since then, I've read large portions of probably another dozen manuals, used numerous reference photographs(and sketches!), asked people to pose for me, posed 3D models(www.daz3d.com), and referenced my own work to maintain a consistent style, but it was really only in the past 7 years, since I was introduced to Japanese "anime" style art that I've actually had any direction.(yes, I'm one of THOSE people.)  Part of the problem is that I always wanted to do a realistic style, and even with the anime stylings of my art, it all still looks very western.  The key is that at its core, "anime" is simply a simplification of a realistic style.  The green hair showed up later.(In fact, the style itself is adapted from Walt Disney's artistic style, used in the earlier works, such as Snow White and Alice in Wonderland.  In fact, I once noted, looking at box art for Alice in Wonderland that Alice herself was drawn in a style that closely resembles modern anime.)

For reference, I turn 22 in two weeks.  Some of my work can be seen in the site linked from my profile.

Amber obviously took a different route, but at the core, it's all the same.

I'm still trying to figure out what Amber means by the Lupus mini title there. I can't imagine she's referring to the condition where your immune system reacts and attacks your own body. (it does cause skin discolorations... so maybe this is Amber telling us that Albanion's diverse hair is not caused by Lupus...? Okay, I got nothing)

More likely it's not death in the conventional sense.  Remember that Mab and Fa'Lina know each other from way back - probably Mab as she appears today is a reincarnation of the entity that Fa'Lina knew of old.
So it's probably more that her parents are going to go through a similar process rather than dying in the usual sense.  That would certainly give her the outlook we're seeing.

To kind of explain the Lupus (in a less unclear fashion): it's a quote from the FOX TV show House.  Earlier this season House (the cranky doctor) was having trouble with Vicadin addiction.  He had some of his stash hidden in a Lupus textbook.  When his staff expressed surprise at the choice, he said "It's NEVER Lupus."  Additionally, he has a black doctor on his staff, and the guy is usually wrong about what is making people sick.

I am interested to see where this comic plotline goes.  I think I concur with the people who believe death for the fae is not as bad as others believe it to be.

You're right. Tough love's what those lazy fae's need to get out there, get a job in an office, go slowly mad with the crushing dullness of their lives and eventually be led away gently by the arm after smashing their heads on the coffee machine.

Though it's really very specific, this whole prophecy. Both parents? Dead? In a night? Something's brewing.

From the demonology:
Whatever the role and limits are, the Fae sets themselves to that guide very strictly, so far as even allowing themselves to be "killed" for the sake of the great theatre. It does seem though that death on the plane of Furrae is only temporary as there have been many Fae who supposedly died but later return only to start a new role on a new stage...

There might be different ways to interpret this paragraph (the one under Albanion's hoof), but reincarnation as different entities is how I'm reading it.

By the way, as for Albanion's white hand, from the demonology picture I'd say he's wearing one black glove (like Raoul Duke).

Bolded for emphasis! In many fantasy settings, Fae share a huge life-pool of souls and when they "die" they simply go back to the pool to await a new role to be given to them. Thus the queen of all fae could end up being a normal fae person and vice versa. I doubt this retarded unicorn thesbian was really meaning that Mab's parents were getting "resituated" tonight as much as he meant someone was going to kill them, etc etc, but the first thing that came to mind was some of those stories I've read. And then that damn starbust commercial. And then I thought about killing things.

You're right - that's the same colour as his hoof, not the fingerless glove thing he's wearing.  Damn LCD monitor at work.  Okay - he has one white hand and a hoof-coloured hand - and two black gloves in the Demonology.

Mab's parents dying and Mab's backstory would be dreamy if Amber gets around to them.  we will finally have some details about the Fae... Like we have about the Cubi...  Let hope everyone doesn't turn into a Fae because of it.   Mab taking her parent's death so minor does seem that death is like a common cold type thing.

The Creature council vs Tech boy JyJy would be another arc... but the Fae Creature council member may have objections to Jyrras running around in the Fae Kingdom... If Mab drags him into this "adventure" to the Fae kingdom...If she goes..

Jyrras/Lorenda relationship problem is likely to drag on, but Lorenda will or may throw a bombshell...like

Mab-    Come on Jyrras we have got to go the fae kingdom
Jyrras - But Mab  I and Lorenda  ah ....
Lorenda-  Jyrras, It is Okay, go    Just to let you know, I m moving out.
