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
Tasty~
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 but it also makes it seem outdated :E HMMM...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.)
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?

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.
Mab's new cast page picture is adorable! :mowmeep

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.

That or I'll just up and delete it once and for all. Thanks for the suggestion! I almost forgot about that one. :U

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.

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.
:U
This comment is stuffed with awesome and win.
Jyrras has been updated.
The basement Rats have been removed.
Deebs/Macy have been added.
Name: Jyrras Gianna
Status: Inventing
Reminds me of another inventor, one who is actually obsessed with cheese.
"I'm inventing mostly..."
Aw, looks like Azlan's page is getting deleted. I was hoping for a dramatic comeback.
Lorenda and Pip have been updated.
Azlan and Aliyka have been removed.
The Pip page at the bottom is filled with so much hate. Some may say Pip has anger management problems. I think that's quit the opposite.
The clock work biting therapy for Dan shows quite a bit of well thought out management in Pip's anger. >:3
I'm surprised that Dan doesn't list on Pip's favorite foods.

Oh man totally stealing that and putting that in the page instead. BRB. :U
*Laughs* :mowgrin
Just wondering... will Azlan and Aliyka not show up in the comic anymore?
*laugh*
Amber, you rogue. Stealing things left, right, and center... ;-]
I love to STEAAAAAAAAL. :3
As for Azlan and Aliyka, they will still show up in the comic. It's just going through all my storynotes, they are such a nonpresence that they don't really warrent a cast page to themselves.
The biggest issue with having a cast the size of DMFA is that one has to juggle which characters have enough force to them to warrent one. Otherwise you end up with a cast page filled with dozens of characters who may or may not last longer than a couple of arcs and random gags.
The page about Lorenda kind of reminds me that at times she can be a bit to level headed.
"Whoah! Your a big fat cow!"
"Why yes I am! Its so good to see all my efforts finally being noticed!"
"Cool want a drink? My treat!"
Sometimes being the strait man can mean you could be the strangest person around. >:3
But does it mean that characters being cut from the cast page because they make few appearances mean that Merlitz and Aaryanna might be cut from the cast page too?
Amber, the Pip update is just perfect especially the bottom; "He hates you." simple but funny as hell. Great job as always.
Lore's and Pip's personal description has been altered quite a bit. Some questions
1) Does she still make clothes in her spare time? (to sell or gift)
2) Will she be borrowing the romance novels Alexsi doesn't read?
3) Will the majority of Pip's old info be moved to the drakes demo 101 entry when it arrives?
I look at the cast page and think "supereyes." Oh wow they are just popping out like never before.
I'm really liking these cast page revisals, especially the Mab and Lorenda ones.

If you are speaking of the new ones in general, I must agree. I think it's fantastic, especially Lorenda's eyes.
Man, Amber is on a roll.
Good stuff.
:)
Yaaaay first post on forum!
Anywho... I must also ask: What will become of Merlitz and Aaryanna? They are on my top 5 list, numbering 4 and 5 respectively (with Wildy at 1, Fa'Lina at 2, and Pip at 3), and I'd really like to see them make a comeback in the comic.

Read the rules. (http://clockworkmansion.com/main.php?page=rules) Don't annoy the moderators. (not worth it, trust me) Don't take the karma system (that +/- thing) seriously and you'll be fine.
Regarding Merlitz and Aaryanna, they were based on a couple who own the characters who have now split up so the situation remains...complicated.

Well, the rules are a given, like in other forums; the mods are also a given, and I tend to avoid the ban-mallet as often as possible; and I never really did give a hoot about the +/- system, though getting a slew of +'s is rather gratifying.
And the whole thing with Mer and Aary, truly a bummer. Actually, I think I read about that somewhere once, now that you mention it. But still, I did like the couple, and seeing them make a comeback in the comic would be enough, even if it was for half an arc. I would
send a bribe, but I lack a form of doing so except for the U.S.P.S. ask Amber nicely, but I don't think that would increase my chances significantly enough in the long run.
Aaryanna was shipped on a bus when she went to be head of the pain and terror department of the academy. (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_594.php) Of course Dan will eventually return there so, Aaryanna probably isn't appearing anytime soon but maybe in the future.
So... shouldn't "stuffed trout" be under Dan's favorite foods?
Maybe add Marshmellows to Abel's favorite food ?
His dream sure seems to indicate that he likes them :)
And Gummi Bears. You can't forget the Gummi Bears!

I'd think that where this doesn't seem to be her final chassis, the detail on it was left a little plain on purpose. Not much sense in putting a lot of work into something that will be replaced in what could be short order. With regards to M.A.C.E. having a serial number? If she does, it's not in her cast page so until we're told otherwise, I'm going to go with no.

True but we build lot of disposable items that cost millions to build with tons of detail

Personally, I suspect that Macy would not have a serial number. Being a "one off", she wouldn't need one.
besides, her serial number is a very personal thing. Would you like people to just have your social security number? Gees, have some respect for our electron brethren. :mowdizzy

In secondary advice, there's a quote button at the top right of every post. If you use that, it'll put a copy of the post you wish to reference into the post box at the bottom, or the preview box at the top, and wrap it with the correct quote-/quote tags, so that it's easier for other readers to identify which part of the post is yours and which is someone else's.
Might want to mess about with those and the preview button a bit, and see what the difference is.
Wait maybe M.A.C.E is her serial number, it could stand for
Mechanical
Anthro
Companion
zEro
or
Machine-based
Android
Creations

-Shouta, The Haibane
I doubt she'd have a serial number ... she's probably has a one off chassis handbuild by Jyrras.
There would be no need for a serial number.
Oh hello everyone. :) I'm new to this whole thing so I'll get started. I am the player of character Genesis4 and just recently I've decided to start playing Furcadia and reading the comic again. Much to my suprise I saw *gasp* another appearance of Genesis in the comic! I love what this comic strip has grown into and further more request more appearances by Genesis :mowmeep amber you're amazing :mowsmile

Welcome aboard Genesis. Read the rules, enjoy your stay. If you are who you say you are, I hope you manage to catch up with Mab (if you haven't already been doing so). :)
Indeed. What Mao said - welcome aboard, try not to sink, and enjoy your stay.
Fun .. reading some of these new cast pages.
So ... Abel is a supporting character? I thought he was a main character now.
And: What's this about the library incident? Will we ever hear more about this?
Dan and Mab are the main characters. All the others are supporting characters, either regulars or "irregulars," if I may use the term. A few of the supporting characters are so irregular that Amber put 'em on a bus. :) Someday they may return.
As for the infamous library incident, we're not likely to ever find out exactly what happened. Somewhere in the forums there's a post or two from Amber about that. (Unfortunately, my forum-fu is distinctly lacking, and I'm not sure where they are. Come to think of it, it might have been in the old forum. The wiki may have have some pointers for you.)
I am sure it has something to do with Oolong de-shirting Abel and his retaliating a bit harshly (Hurt poor Olongs feelings, the poor dear).

It is a so called Noodle Incident (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NoodleIncident) and is even mentioned on the webcomic part of the trope. We'll likely never hear what happened no matter how curious we are.

At this point it probably couldn't live up to the hype anyway.
I've wonder if there's a connection with the fact Abel worked in a library before entering SAIA.
Maybe he suggested Oolong adopt the Dewey Decimal System and she took offense?
Umm...This might be old news but I was wondering if the bribes option was still viable ^^;
