Jackals & Batteries- Page 07-09 WebRes
🕑 Added 2021-05-31 12:03:13 +0000 UTCXill is venting his frustration at the first set of friendly ears he's laid eyes on in a while while our poor, sleepy jackal-girl Tsenaya tries her best to keep up with his frantic babbling ^_^;;...
I've done some tweaking to the dialog since the sketch pages since it was a little messy before, but I think the conversation between the characters here flows much better now. My favorite panel is the last panel on page 08 where Tsenaya's totally perving out on Xill ;).
Finally, Maeko and Kaera are making their first appearance in color since I designed them! If Maeko looks familiar, it's because she's supposed to be Malcolm's half-sister who took a slightly more prestigious road in life...still, he loves her like crazy and I hope to be able to show that at some point!
I hope you're liking the comic so far and that the scene-switch between the two conversations wasn't too jarring!

Yay for new characters it seems!

Very nice work. Like many others I love the conversation between Xill and Tsenaya. And I'm quite curious to see how this continues.
Luircin
In that case I'm a bit relieved! I was worried that I was showcasing my ignorance.

It's paid off! So far this is your best looking comic yet, in terms of how much the colors pop. Well done man. And, just a side comment, part of me wishes Kaera and Maeko were played by Morrigan and Quinn, but it's good to see new characters from you regardless.

Thanks! I'm working hard to reach a point where the colors have that "pop" quality to them so they don't get quite as "muddy" as they did with comics like Skin Deep and even Sleepless Nights...it was in the middle of Sleepless Nights that I realized my colors needed more contrast if they were gonna look good and what you're seeing is the result of a bunch of experimentation (and simplification)! I'm glad you like it in any case!

POWER NOODLE IS DEVIOUS.

This is all still very much a work in progress, so I'm afraid not. Besides, it would be a bit spoilery and the purpose of this comic is to begin to explain how Djinn affect the universe and why they need a Focus (Maestro) so they don't just turn into flames and go poof! Hang in there- the answers are coming in time!

Man, these colors are beautiful. That shot of Tsenaya looking at Xill in Page 07 is fantastic. You're rocking these, can't wait to see where it goes!
Luircin
I'm a relatively recent watcher, and I know this might be a dumb question. But is there anywhere where I can get an infodump about how djinn work in your 'verse?
Dorago
And adorable. Can't forget that.~

These two characters look like they are gonna share a single braincell if they need to solve some sort of task. I look forward to their dynamic

Tsenaya...do not trust power snek. DO NO TRUST POWER SNEK D:
Synariel
And now Tsenaya has to take care of a snek, she really is a jackal of all trade. XD
Dorago
I fucking love the energy Xill and Tsenaya have going on. And I’m looking forward to seeing more between those other two~
