[comic] Gabriel, pg.6 [02-08-'10]

Ooooo! Neat comic! I'll have to read it all when I'm not at work  

As for the guest... I would guess.. Kipiru 

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

*snerk*

[Tapewolf]

Oh, they are actually credited - but I only noticed after making a list  
We have llearch, Jakob, Kipiru and Basilisk's dog, Duke.

I'm honoured.

Anyway, the only thing which is bugging me slightly is why Fa'Lina allows Theo to be stuffed in lockers.  Though I guess if it was significantly beneficial to either of them (building Theo's character, or making Felix stop when (s)he realises that doing that to a senior might be a Bad Thing) that would be enough to make her take a more hands-off approach.

Oh! So there it is! There I go being unobservant again

My list was wrong anyway - I thought I saw Beever as the lizard guy and I mistook Duke for Pagan's character.

[Lisky]

eh. i'm pretty sure the guy in the last pannen on the left is in fact Bas.  Judging by the colors, i'd say Whitefox added a little red and yellow, making Bas less natural colored, but the patterns seem about right, and there are credits in the top bar, just above the comic too.

That said, awesome work, i enjoy your style as always Whitefox... and the addition of cameos is always amusing.  I haven't seen this mentioned, but llearch is being held by a fox creature (probably cubi) in the first panel, i'm surprised no one has mentioned him, given that he was given credit at the top as well

[Tapewolf]

eh. i'm pretty sure the guy in the last pannen on the left is in fact Bas.

Ah.  I didn't know you'd actually created such a character.  llearch has been mentioned a couple of times, though.

The first time was by me. ;-]

I'll admit it was a bit obscure, though.

[WhiteFox]

Just so people know, everyone appearing in the comic either have been particularly helpful to me, or are artists whose work I very much enjoy. I wish I had room for more.

Bas's colors are a little more dramatic because demons colourations are a little more... sinister then beings colors.

llearch: +10 pts for observation, and subtlety in posting. Yes, that's boxy with the two blonde foxy succubi.

Strictly speaking, that's not a cameo of Beever. Mostly, I wanted to draw a scaley anthro with an iguana-mohawk, cause I love that look. But I guess I can credit beev for the inspiration. So, cameo in spirit I guess.

As for Felix stuffing Theo into lockers... well, I never said Felix wasn't getting detention for it. There are other elements affecting the situation, however, which might be addressed later in the comic. (*Rereads archive.* Actually, I alluded to it earlier in the strip.)

(BTW: If anyone's worried about whether to call Felix a he or she, "he" or "him" works for now.)

[Kipiru]

Being away for some time I just saw my cameo- awesome work there WF! Me likes. I'm flattered dude, honestly!

[Beever]

Wow, awesome shading  and great work! (btw the word 'awesome' seems to be pretty popular within these comments)

Don't know about that scaley anthro with an iguana-mohawk cameo you mentioned, but man I've never seen such a steady and fixed green back, up until now.Great motion  and  big thanks!

Will certainly have a closer look on it  in my Day Off.

PS. The Avatar, it's unique!

I must be out to sabotage myself.

Delays due to some experimentation with the process: needless to say, I had to take some time cleaning up the aftermath. #40 is still on schedule.

Extremely Geeky trivia:

Felix's clan symbol, displayed for the first time on Zu here, has a few sources. Most notably an Uncial A, and the phoenician Aleph that is it's precursor.

The letter A developed from the Egyptian hieroglyphic of an ox's head.

Theo's clan symbol is described as a "Broken Taurus", and is derived from the zodiac sign. Taurus being the Ox.

I swear all of this is coincidence.

(Also, I may have been reading one two many calligraphy books.)

And I thought it was based off the ampersand...

[techmaster-glitch]

For some reason, I just -love- this particular Warp-Aci. 

[WhiteFox]

...

You just had to point that out. Now I'm not going to be able to see anything else.

There's subtle differences, but... aw, who am I kidding. They're subtle.

Zu's fun to draw. I need to get a little more diligent about coloring Warp-Aci properly, tho.

Ooops...

Page 40! Whoo! *Confetti*

DSOF #40

"Nmemograph" being a word I made up for a recorded memory.

So, I lost the hardcopy for the comic and didn't find it until today. Then I was somewhat alarmed to realize that today happened to be Friday.

I'm kinda proud that I got the page cleaned up and colored in one evening. It didn't any less time then usual (I even made the extra effort to try and color Zu the way Warp-Aci are supposed to look), which was about five hours, but I'm not usually able to do an entire page in one sitting.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

heh. Another shot of Felicia with her busted shirt... ;-]

btw, "commit" has two m's in it.

[Tapewolf]

Also, there's a word missing in panel 2.

Arrgh... Thanks for pointing that out.

Fixed.

[ChaosMageX]

Is Felicia a hermaphrodite or just a gender-confused shape shifter?

[WhiteFox]

Is Felicia a hermaphrodite or just a gender-confused shape shifter?

Good question.

At this point in the story it's not really know.

Comic done. Finally.

I am... seriously cutting down on excessive cleavage and quasi-nudity in this comic.

[Kipiru]

I am... seriously cutting down on excessive cleavage and quasi-nudity in this comic.

Just not in this page 

[techmaster-glitch]

I'm not hearing any complaining from anywhere...

This is the cut down version.

Well, I'm only cutting down on excessive cleavage.

Two things in I had in mind when I started this comic:
-No PG13 nudity.
-Sometimes, people are naked. It happens, that's life.

But, you know, Jade's been in more comics nude then clothed (8 to 12, or something like that). That's a bit much.

[LionHeart]

I don't see it as that big a problem, really.

After all, Jade has a legitimate reason to not wear clothing. It's not like it's done purely for the sake of it.

[WhiteFox]

DSOF #42, at last.

Reasons for delay are legion.

I need to plan my characters colors better... Light-and-dark outfits  never work on either light or dark backgrounds.

As a note, the last law of magic on the list is the "Tautological Principal of Ontology". 5 internet bucks for the best guess of what that means.

I'm kind of mixed about this one. There's a lot of... weirdness in the art, but there are some things I really like too.

Comment and critique very much appreciated, as ever.

[SpottedKitty]

Didn't notice the last couple of pages appear.

Heh, got a good laugh out of the "not a morning person" bit. Jade looks so cute in a showing-fangs yawn.

And as ever, the explanatory diagrams are fun as well as informative. Theo's dad seems to be just as good as Fa'lina at the "summon big sketchpad" spell...
