A well-timed entry.
Altermentality:
I try to have a little bit of fun experimenting with the art style in these things, which basically just means I let my hand spasm and see what happens >_>
Look, it’s the cheap knockoff minion team!
Very cool! the top pic is kinda sad, but i like the page, both info and art-wise.
Thank you!
Red-Head Lurkin is now named Ron.
And captcha wants to know Idenau’s climate apparently.
Does that make Mr. Pinkflish Harry?
Idenau has every climate type you could imagine, just like a good video-game land ought
Wait, so would the ghost be Hermione or Moaning Myrtle?
-RU =)
So I was browsing through my favorites when I came across this comic. Apparently I had visited this place before about four months ago and though, “Oh hey, I’m going to read that later.” and I never did. So, I was up until 3:30 last night reading and then I finished this morning.
I have to admit, I kind of fell in love.
Hello, Jello! I’m glad to hear it!
We look forward to seeing you around!
Hoorah! We get to see grumpy Ecta! Wait, she’s always grumpy.
Random human at the top of the page just looks angry that he died. He’s all “Hey! I was in the middle of something! >[ ” Now I wanna know what he was doing!
Captcha says: ceanswr processing. I’m pretty sure Idenau has no computers to use ceanswr processing… unless a ceanswr is a magical creature that can be turned into food!
She doesn’t like being referred to as “just a minion.”
I love how much you’ve thought out how your world works, it’s a sign of how much effort you put into making this a high quality comic.
Curious, since it specifies that renaming themselves as something human ghosts typically do, does that mean ghosts of other species usually keep their original names or that it’s mostly humans that become ghosts?
Thank you! We try
Both. The ghosts formed by curses are almost exclusively human, since the gods just don’t give a crap about what most other races get up to, so why single out individuals from them to curse? So there’s more human ghosts than anything else. Also, humans originated the renaming custom. Not all of them follow it (For example… Tiberius Skärva the Third was quite happy with who he was, Tiberius Skärva the Second knew changing his name wouldn’t exactly change his face or his fate, so why bother), although I’m sure a Lurkin or Flish ghost has followed it here or there. Humans do tend to be the starters of cultural trends that spread throughout other peoples, considering they are the most prevalent in Idenau, the rulers and the god-blessed.
I thought the point of these entries was to avoid having an overload of work…it almost seems like it’s more, especially given the additional illustrations and proper text formatting…
Regardless, interesting stuff! Don’t know too many comics that actually try and take the time to explain stuff…I guess it’s probably because you guys actually thought out your stuff beforehand and don’t mind sharing it, haha.
It is a bit more than I bargained for, but still takes far less time than an actual comic. I even feel a bit bad that I don’t illuminate them with more/more detailed illustrations, but I’ll leave some things up to your imaginations and hope our readers are more intelligent and interested than to be like “tl;dr lolol!”
There are definitely others. For us, we were a bit hesitant to do the whole “tell-don’t-show” thing at first, but in the end this lets you guys know more about Idenau without having to squeeze in actual comics where the characters explain to each other things that any intelligent person growing up in this world would probably know anyway.
WHEEE I’M BACK! Haven’t been in here in ages, got busy. Dang life. Nice to see the new layout; I’m loving this infodump stuff. I’ve always been a sucker for extra exposition. And I get to see just how well thought out your worldbuilding is. I’m really impressed.
Bwahahaha now to go back and read aaaaalll the commentary and leave my own, thus confusing anyone reading later as to when I really last left off! Cackle cackle cackle…
Ouch I swear captcha is getting harder and harder to read. Think I’ll also take you up on that login option I thought I read about earlier too.
Indeed. I am doing the same.
Arrrghhg hey! *tacklehug* I wondered where you went, but… I totally understand. =P (I had hoped we didn’t do anything to make you mad or something, but I have no idea what that would even be… XD) We’re happy to have you back!
Awww, you make it so fun to be here. Not just reading the comic, but commenting as well.
Well, of course! I’d hate to just spend hours drawing something and then not talk about it with anyone! You guys make everything worth it
Lol amen to that. I might have to work in commentary on my comic when I get it back up; this really is a great idea. Rather fun to see all the funny people it attracts too.
Captcha predicts the time of release to be
“47.4”. PROOF THE CAPTCHA INCORRECT COURTNEY! YOU CAN DO IT!
Well, I think I can beat, uh. That time.
If it was supposed to be up at 0:00 Friday, then 47.4 is almost Sunday, right? Yeah, I can do it.
Um… Are there take backsies?
Now captcha is mocking me! the some sort of backwords c above an a and a mix between a 3 an e an d anexclamation point. I AM ON A KINDLE CAPTCHA. THE STRANGEST SYMBOL I CAN MAIE IS €¥£.
*stretches back* I see I’ve been missed. (You mean WE have been missed) Yea don’t count on that, MY computer is still in the shop, some parts in the hard drive just upped and died. (I love it when things, even non alive things die) He is…stranger than normal now a days, we talk more to each other too. (Yes…it’s torture) Ah hush you! Anyways what’s up with you?
TODAY SUCKED! IT SUCKED! I AM DEPRESSED AND WORRIED ABOUT MY FUTURE
There I said it. I also got a hangover from drinking a milkshake. But for now, I’ve got a comic to draw. And you awesome people to make me feel better.
Well as this is not my computer I’m getting the boot after this. (I find this warming to my soul, such torture) shut up! I’m looking forward to the comic when I am able to which will be tomorrow. (Not if I can help it) Shut up. Also if you ever EVER have any doubts about ANYTHING it’s just your brain screwing with you and trying to make you fail, I know this for a fact. It happens to everyone. (However his doubts are caused by me hence why he doesn’t draw much) However you and many others inspired me and I’m training my art skills, hopefully I’ll get good enough to start my own web comic. (In yer dreams) Everyone’s future goals are always dreams, it takes a true person to make one a reality. And now I must go. (It’s torture time) Ignore him. (I WILL NOT BE IGNORED!)
I have not commented here in forever. But because you said ‘chat with me’ and I was losing sleep over a criticism I had to reply to and will be up for a few hours after the rant I replied in… CHAT!!!! Your comic has been wonderful so far, Honestly, I have not ALL of the Info pages, but I’ll get around to it. I love a world so detailed and complex, in which history is its own. This is truly what legends hold.
… uh… I’ve run out of things to say… I’m usually a ranter…
Sleep isn’t going to come easy for me tonight either. I’ll be up until I finish the comic, and a few hours after, and maybe all night. It’s been a rough day… a rough month, to be honest…
But thank you so much, friend. I feel a lot better knowing that I’m making something that people enjoy.
I keep reading all the commentary I’ve missed, but the London Opening Ceremonies are rather distracting me. XD Still, you actually manage to divide my attention, and for an Olympic buff like me, that
s saying something! So I’ll just go back to rummaging through comics and comments while NBC blasts on my TV. Good luck with the comic!
