Chapter 3: So Far From Home…
Good Week everyone! And a happy Monday. So Mana and I have been quite fantastically busy as of this past week, we’ve been in the process of buying a home, and things have finally gone through :D! Our possession date it set for the 17th of this month, and we haven’t started packing yet ;_;- but! it’s not like we have to super rush the whole thing, we may paint before we move in anyway.
During this whole process, I don’t think it’ll affect our schedule (nothing else has…) we are too dedicated to getting an update each week to let that happen, it’s kinda messed up the whole printing process for our book, but I am doing what I can to get that complete.
Also on a more interesting note, I recently discovered something known as Comic Creators for Freedom. I have the link to their site just below. I’m quite disappointed that I missed participating in 2011’s round, however they are working for a great cause, and some really good charities. Basically comic creators from all around participated in drawing their character in an epic snowball fight against other comic creator characters, and in order to get this “Wallpaper” you donate, which all proceeds go towards the charities listed on the site. Some of the more prominent Artists you may recognize it Lar de Souza from Least I Could Do/ Looking For Group, Danielle Corsetto from Girls with Slingshots, Crystal Yates from Earthsong– And soooo many more talented artists, it’s worth the donation for an awesome wallpaper, and next year for sure I’ll make sure to get Belle in there, promise. ;P-
It’ll be hott to see Belle in a epic snow battle.
Your comic work is just amazing. I really like how you made your city background, looks like a really big city.
hahah, I think Belle would look awesome also 😀 I don’t draw her enough in random pics, I guess that’s coz it’s Mana’s character more than mine.
But I really appreciate the compliment, I really wanted to portray the size of the city in this strip- it’s the only city on the entire island, so it’s the entire populace in one place. Also hidden behind the hills is a large dam holding their reservoir for water, and the Casbael Temple is just a little ways off into the jungle.
Yay Random Tidbits!
Always awesome to see a sexy anthro in random pics lol.
I like tidbits, makes you far more curious about the comic in general. Though I must ask, is the temple like a shrine or something people pray at or something else entirely
lol, tidbits can quickly turn into much more than tidbits with me and Mana ~.~! SOOO to try and not give too much away, since, well it’s part of the story to some degree (we wouldn’t want to ruin that now would we!) Casbael is an Order that helps maintain the world in both trade and peace. For Casbael to achieve this they have built Temples all over the world, seven in total. These are run by beings known as Guardians- Atsonia in Chapter 2 (https://www.flycoren.com/archives/73) is one of those. She is the Guardian for a Territory known as Windin’.
So basically to answer your question, these Temples are sort of like Government buildings for the people of Flycoren. But as Chapter 2 talks about, Casbael does not force territories to participate in their Order if they do not desire, so they do not run the world, they simply help maintain peace on a grand scale to those who wish to contribute to the greater good of the world.
Grats on the new house! Even if it is just the paperwork stage, it’s still awsome!
I have to agree with Kion, the city was really epic looking.
As far as me goes, yesterday was my birthday 😀 Happy 28 to me! Wait…how the heck did that happen? I mean c’mon! I’m almost 30 o_O
I remember when 30 was old…does that mean that I’m old now? Classmates are already talking about 10 yr reunion…kids have math homework I don’t understand…their teachers in-laws are my old grade school teachers….ahhhhh! I am old! *sob* It was my birthday, I’ll still cry if I want to :p
Thanks for the congratz for our homage! It’ll be wicked, we are suppose to get the keys tomorrow so WOO!
And happy belated bday Sesshy! I remember thinking omg 30 is only ten years away when i turned 20. Its still old in my mind and im only five years from that. *cries a little* its frightening to think how fast our years go by from the moment we graduate.
Wooooooo i am so late in commenting. Sorry but i had to go and enjoy the warmth of Florida with my brother. Family vacation for the win!!!
I have to agree with everyone Elginive, Your city scape background is just AMAZING! Then again your backgrounds always are! I am so jealous and so pleased that i can see such amazing art every week!
