Woo! an actual Friday upload. I liked coloring this page!

The salamander is a Bolitoglossa, they are aboreal salamanders :3 Their feet actually look like giant flippers too, its so cute.

Today (Friday’s) vote incentive is the first draft/ sketch of today’s page, haha XD Its hilarious how bad it looks when I first start… as you can see I switched those two panels around so it’d make more sense.

Anyways, yeah. In case you are still out of the loop, The Meek on Facebook exists! I’m uploading the old incentives there, slowly, among other things. I’m thinking about taking away the LJ, since more people are into Facebook…

I’ll end with my usual message of thanks for all your support and love! Thanks for reading and see you next week X3

    The salamander’s face was so INCREDIBLY CUTE I spontaneously combusted.

  2. Elise says:

    you even included a nasolabial groove ;_; Such herpetological dedication!

    enough about the salamander, this is my favorite webcomic right now and I think it’s great that you at least update once a week.

  3. beta-joovey says:

    Man, the third panel is just beautiful. And, obviously, the salamander is just adorable.

  4. Naktarr says:

    Elise, what’s this groove thing you’re loving so much? :/ You’ve got my curiosity fired up now *looks it up*
    I… don’t see any in this weeks comic, except on mister Salamander there, so you mean him?

    Mister Salamander reminds me of a frog, weirdly enough. I’m glad I’m not the only person around here who talks to animals, even if Angora isn’t actually real XD

    naso: nose, labial: lip… the nasolabial groove is the line connecting the nostrils to the mouth :=3

  6. Deerinheadlights says:

    I love the lighting :) Cutest ickle salamander too!

  7. catol says:

    The Meek is sooo fabulous in colour! You’ve done such a great job, not that you weren’t doing a great job with your first drafts on lj. It brings tiny bits of tears in my eyes, no joke! hahaha
    I can totally see this in my book shelf.
    Okay, enough gushing XP!!!
    Keep up the good work, yo~

  8. scott says:

    mmm starts to give a prospective on the chapter and how it’s going to lead nice page. love the night appearance

  9. candeldandel says:

    CUUUTE.

  10. Kelsey says:

    Oh man, that third panel. I would buy it if I weren’t broke.

  11. Lee says:

    I love the coloring of this page. AND THAT SALAMANDER. I WANT ONE.

  12. Smash42 says:

    Brilliant night Sky! THe Salamander rocks, great expression, Elise said it best. Angora’s probably the only character outside of serious fantasy to ever have a salamander as a friend, and I love the conversation.

  13. Critter says:

    Oh wow, the color on the salamander is vivid <3

  14. Sarai says:

    Wow – great use of light for night time! I love the adaptability… great work, and I think the salamander is cute, but they really freak me out in real life :(

  15. Elviella says:

    I love the colouring, it’s great!! I want this salamander, it’s so cute!=D XD Good job as always, keep it up!!

  16. Fyrisvellir says:

    No! The salamander is mine! >=3

  17. Enigma says:

    :D yeah, i really love the colours on this page.

    She looks beautiful in the 3rd panel!

    ;)

  18. DoctorWhyly says:

    The lighting/shading here is really nice! Salamander!

  19. kalmia says:

    Your work is amazing ^^

  20. Laurens says:

    Yeah, that third panel would look amazing as a poster.

    What, does the first draft of that panel look bad? You must have high standards. xD

  21. rainey says:

    I want to give that salamander a hug :3

    Love how you did the lighting on this page :D

  22. talc says:

    really like the color especially her hair really stands out for me (i actually prefer that color to her daytime hair :) ) gotta love how shes holding a conversation with the sally

  23. itypeslow says:

    please keep the LJ. I’m not on face book, and I’m useing the RSS

  24. Do those Bolitoglossa salamanders actually make a ‘chk’ noise?

  25. Also… I’m not into Facebook and don’t trust it. They play fast and loose with users’ privacy, more so than other companies. Please keep the LJ.

  26. alexds1 says:

    Thanks for the feeback, itypeslow and Reindeer. I was totally going to not use the LJ but now I see that some people use it, so I will update there more :3

    As for salamander noises… I have no idea XD Few salamanders vocalize, though I guess this is a fantasy comic so I will say that *my* Bolitoglossa can, hehe.

  27. weichimaster says:

    I just started following this comic, it looks really good. I might purchase a copy if you publish.

  28. Osric Cullen says:

    The comic looks good so far, but one thing I don’t get is, (this may sound a bit annoying, but it’s bothering me and I want to know), why is the main character in the nude in the middle of the rainforest?

  29. Blue-Ten says:

    There’s such a nice atmosphere present in these panels :D . The blues you chose for the sky here are beautiful, and I love the contrast offered by the salamander’s orange-ish colors!

  30. Brandon says:

    I absolutely love this comic so far. Great pace, and really intriguing characters.
    Why is she nude? I was just wondering. Is she just a “natural” woman, or is that part of the culture of this world?

  31. alexds1 says:

    Osric/ Brandon, she’s nude because thats the way her character is :) Its not part of the culture, she’s just able to get away with it in this environment. Kind of wacky. In general she doesn’t really like following the rules, but that’ll be more evident later.

  32. Tammy Lee says:

    :O
    The colours are so amazing on this!

  33. whoooomeek says:

    wtc, you even make TOENAILS look good! :D

  34. Zaete says:

    I haven’t mentioned it before, but I ADORE your big ass vote button. It’s so cool… and big. All webcomics should have huge VOTE buttons.
    It’s coolness rocks my world! XDD

  35. Smash42 says:

    ON the subject of voting, has anyone else noticed we appear to be in combat with Earth Song for 11th place? Just wondering if any one reads it? ALso, if thats Pinter in the incentive today, awesome.

  36. VickyL says:

    darn I missed the sketch incentive ’cause i dont have this website booked on my gran’s pc and I couldnt remember the webcomic title (yes my memory is terrible).
    any chance of a link to it at a diff location?

    great page by the way. I love your art style.

  37. alexds1 says:

    Thanks! Its like header, comic, GIANT GLOWING BUTTON (and yet people still miss it XD)

    Haha, combat w/ Earthsong… if combat meant being way, way behind your opponent

    And Vicky, all incentives will be up on Facebook eventually :3 So just wait around and it’ll probably be there!

  38. RnH says:

    This page should have a warning sign protecting people from melting as a result of the extreme cuteness of that lil salamander ;)

    love your comic :)

  39. ED says:

    Neat o.o I am liking of this comic.

  40. dusky_rue says:

    Oh wow. Look at that nighttime lighting scheme. XD Awesome. That salamander is so adorable. I want one. 8)

    And I know I don’t ever comment on this site, but I’m de-lurking to third what has already been said. Keep the lj please! I don’t have a Facebook and I would miss seeing the in-progress Meek stuff. ;_;

  41. kuhaco says:

    fascinanting. Beautiful night. I like this comic! Waiting to see the next pages ^^

  42. Kitsters says:

    HOLY ALSHFALSKFJALSFASF.
    That salamander is so frikkin cute.
    Love the art of this comic. Can’t wait for more. <3

  43. Kay says:

    I’m loving this comic already. Bookmarking and looking forward to more.

  44. fish says:

    no update…? :’(

    is everything alright?
    i’m becoming a little anxious/paranoid… ó__ò

  45. alexds1 says:

    Hey Fish XD Sorry, update is late cuz of life. It’ll be up tonight, hopefully!

  46. fish says:

    yay, a sign of life :dance: (<-blame dA)
    now i’m patient again… xD

  47. scott says:

    it’s alright as anything getting it within only three days late isn’t bad but it gets harder to rework your schedule the farther it gets

  48. alexds1 says:

    Yeah, normally XD But I was really tired because of a deadline this week, and won’t be next week. Also the next page will be easier/ is already sketched out! There is hope :3

  49. Sen says:

    Love how nice and simple this page is.
