Its Rana! She is Suda’s older sister, and a bit more mature than he is (just a bit). This page is dedicated to Gene, who has already claimed Rana for his wife.
Two items of note: First, the store is updated with what I’ve got to sell, so take a look if there is anything you want. Supplies are a limited to my remaining stock for the Chapter 1 packs, so first come first served (btw, if you have already ordered/paid, I have likely sent your package out already). Second, if you think you know the word of the month, good for you! You can email me with that word at the end of the month, please not before! I will give more instructions about redeeming for the wallpaper at the month’s end.
Oh, and I can’t forget, Yuko of one of my fav comics Johnny Wander, did a fanart of the Emperor!!! I’ve been secretly wanting exactly this picture since I first saw her work so… I guess I am a very very lucky person!
Big theme pimp this week: Herge styled comics! I truly love the Belgian comic Tintin, and I’m sure a ton of you do as well. These folks all have made some very nice webcomics in this recognizable style:
- Ellie Connelly: Victorian era adventures!
- Fifine: Foxy shenanigans!
- Tozo the Public Servant: Detective of the future!
They are all different, but I found them all to be very entertaining.
I’ll see you sometime next week with the next page.
Aw, Rana is so cute! I love how she takes after Luca (well, in my opinion, lol). Suda apparently inherited some crazy from his father, but it seems to only surface, thus far, with the application of cookies. Interesting…
I actually thought Rana WAS Luca at first. She needs a new hair-do, she looks like a dude from the front.
Don’t tell her that :C
the 4th panel makes me sick XP but still good
Why sick? :B
Maybe because of the point of view
Maybe. I’m thinking its that rug texture, I probably skewed it at the wrong angle.
Definitely the angle
it kind of looks like she’s sitting on the wall… I’M REREADING CHAPTER 2!
Well he’s got the important bits down at least. Gotta know where the cookies are.
Damn straight! Cookies Rule!
I love the expression on his face in the first panel. The humor in this strip was awesome! But theres something weird with the 4th panel…. The perspective doesn’t seem to line up. It looks like she’s on a slope or something but the next panel she gets off on the same plane. Woah.
Oh, right. Well, she’s leaning forward in the chair on its back legs (the way your parents tell you not to sit cuz you’ll break the chair/ yourself)
Thats something I do all the time, even at school if I can! No disrespect but I think it is comfy.
This is just awesome. I didn’t realize Sudo was Luca’s son at first, but I definitely saw the resemblance in Rana immediately, and this page clears things up for me quite well as to who they are. Maybe I’m just a little bit slow. xD
I’m loving the story! And the art is to die for.
HURRAH GIVE IT UP FOR POST NUMBER 90
This comic strip of this point is indeed excellent but many complained of the fourth panel. Again Rana is seriously more of a very diligent type of person (hello Gene) and Suda is more of a happy go lucky guy who isn’t interested in politics.
I’m thinking of your next strip would be that they have dinner *passes the cookie around*
Ooh, love new characters. Looking forward to this chapter’s development, family relationships ftw!
Oh, and another addition to the well done Tin-tin style comics: Jonny Crossbones. Love it to peices.
Rana looks a lot like dad.
genetics work weird sometimes, huh?
I love the family resemblance. When I first saw Luca, I thought he was maybe the mapmaker’s dad. They kinda look alike. I see the resemblance to Luca in both his children.
The more I read this, the more I love the expression in the eyes. Normally, over sized eyeballs creep me out a little, (except for Garfield,) but it is working right here. The expressiveness is awesome!
Hey, what about the mapmaker and the naked girl? Where are they? Is anyone gonna get that ass out of the tree before he dies? Inquiring minds want to know!!!
Love Suda’s personality already!
Keep up the good work m8, looking more foreward to seeing each page for every one you make!
my favorite is panel 5
I LOVE YOU
I LOVE THIS COMIC
I AM INSPIRED
I don’t get the feeling that Suda is not interested in politics. Only that he realizes quite clearly that he is only a young guy that has no power over things (his parents got him away from the argument!) and he worked out (as wonderfully recaped in the sixth panel) that there was NOTHING he could do and that worrying like hell wouldn’t change anything. Eating, though, is something usefull that you need to do, and because he is not gonna be invited to the big lunch, eating cookies makes sense. And it’s also a wonderfull way of forgetting one’s stress and anxiosity. I would probably react like that : nothing that a piece of chocolate cannot make forget (at least for to minutes). And I don’t see why that would be some crazy inheritance from his father : Luca seems to be the sort of guy that won’t eat (or do/think to) anything if he is mad. Suda seems to take things more quietly and with more philosophy.
And, because I can’t leave a comment without pointing it out, I really love your art!
Hee. I like Rana a lot. She reminds me of me. Except that I’m currently studying in Costa Rica and using Spanish all the time, and in Spanish, ‘rana’ means ‘frog’. So, unfortunately, I always mentally associate her with a frog. ^^;
When all else fails….have a cookie.
Yay for clair ligne style comics you linked
(Loved Tintin, was miserable over the “end” of Alph-Art)
And oooh, the suspense in The Meek (I wonder how Angora and Pinter are currently faring…)
I love panel2. I love her expression! The emperor makes me laugh for some reason… LOVE!
I love how Rana = frog in Spanish. <3
really? she does seem a bit “frog-ish”
I love your characters.
Suda is my favorite character in this series. He makes me lol.
Yes, he also make you like this (-_-) to this (OVO)
This comment come too late, but nevertheless: I would like to voice my love for Suda.
For srs, I wanna take that man home and lock him in my closet. You have created a darling character. <3
That aside, though, lovely page: after clearing up how Rana was sitting in the fourth panel, it all looks fantastic. Especially the expressions.
I love the almost raunchy desire look in the first panel!! Brilliant!! I’ve been away at sea for 6 weeks and have been looking forward to my ‘The Meek’ omibus the entire time…definately NOT disapointed, well worth the wait.
What were you doing at sea for 6 weeks?! I bet it was something awesome.
maybe he’s a sea shepherd?
lol I’m a surveyor, and a girl. Although I would love to see what the prospects are for sea sheparding
Poor girl. Favors poppa waay too much.
Just wanted to pop in to declare that I have a total lesbian crush on Rana and will be submitting a fanart of her soon! ^o^
Gotta comment the awesome look of *yarr, treasure!” / *w00t, phat lewt!” on Suda’s face on the first panel.
Well, Rana kinda looks like guy to me:/. She definitely needs new hairdo or at least new clothes :/ I mean, the way her hair is combed back just makes her look so.. boyish:D
Aha, she looks just like her dad!
