I worry about that boy sometimes.
Luca has a lot of titles… and a lot of names too. Pasori naming convention is my favorite thing. It is basically a long string of first names. There is no “last name” per se except for your tribal affiliation (in this case, Gulo). Most people’s full names are around fifty words long, but for convenience one tends to shorten it to three (Luca’s family also has a Santrified last name, deSadar, which sounds better on the ears for a lot of his subjects).
Are you proud of me? I got the page up on time. Despite all my deadlines 
I’m not anticipating any miracles for next week though, haha. Once again, if you are in the SF Bay Area and have nothing to do this weekend, feel free to stop by our table at APE! My friend and I are going to be kicking ass at table 554 (Armada and Shingworks Studio). Here’s some of the cool stuff I’m selling this year:
- The Meek chapter 1 (beautiful full color printing)
- The Meek poster
- The Tide mini
- Snowball in Hell stuff
- Water Tribe comics on behalf of Rufftoon
It’s going to be rad.
Whoever is updating the TV tropes page for the comic is cracking me up. I stumbled upon it again yesterday and spent a few minutes loling.
I have a ton of comics I want to pimp but I will limit myself to one this week, White Noise. Great concept, and the execution is not too shabby either! One of those comics you can’t stop reading (and then you hit the last page and want to bash your face into something in frustration).
See you sometime late next week!
I discovered this today, courtesy of Mr. Codak. I love your art, and the story of the first chapter.
But, the old-fashioned affectations of these new characters is pretty… forced. This isn’t your dialogue at its best. Read some classics, that would probably help. Or some minor editing would go a long way.
Anyway, I love this comic. I’ll keep reading no matter what you do.
Thanks for stopping by, Kashkin! Glad you enjoyed reading the first chapter. I can’t agree with how you feel about the dialogue in this chapter, but then again I have the benefit of knowing a lot more backstory than you do
I hope as the story continues, the intentionally stiffer elements of this chapter will start feeling a bit more ‘natural’ to you.
lol, I love Suda. So adorable XDD His grin in the third panel is just priceless
I love this comic. Fantastic work
I love this comic. It’s actually fantastic. Though you need to update faster xD You don’t know how eager I am to read more about this. Keep it going!
One of the recent comments prompted me to post…
I really like the dialogue this chapter! It conveys a completely different atmosphere than the previous chapter, which is what I think it’s supposed to do. I respect people who can create different “vioces” for characters without making them be stereotypical or forced. I think little differences in characters’ speech patterns can say a lot about them.
Well, it’s good to see that a father who’s a wee bit crabby in the mornings hasn’t dampened his son’s spirit.
Oh! I didn’t know this was his son! Did I miss a hint somewhere, or was I supposed to figure this out from the dialog and the resemblance?
I love this comic, and it’s a labor of love, but the only way I can read it is to go back to the first strip and read it from the beginning…
Hello! I saw your stuff at APE and bought a copy of chapter one. I love it! the colouring is beautiful and the characters are so full of life! Anyway, you can count on me following this from now on. Great work! Keep it up!
[...] tone significantly with Chapter 2, which opens with a bickering husband and wife. The man is Emperor Luca Sadar Duvida Gulo. Given his stature and his aristocratic attitude, I have to conclude that he isn’t “the [...]
Coming back through the archives for another look, and I’d forgotten about how great this page is. Suda reminds me of a hyperactive puppy. <3
