Vote?Facebook?Twitter?LJ?dA?Wiki?

Number 1 rule of spying on people: don’t make noise.

I had finished that last panel and the page, then realized that it looked really stupid/ non-sequential without my having shown the hole in the window. So I had to do panel surgery on it XC Details in the vote incentive tomorrow, cuz I hate this kind of last minute revision.

Ooh, guess what? This is the last page of the year! Next page will be the 1 year anniversary of the comic :) I can’t believe its gone by so fast, or that I haven’t even finished two chapters, hahaha. On the plus side, the year was well spent according to this article. Makes me feel warm and fuzzy!

The last comic pimp of the year goes to DAR: a Super Girly Top Secret Comic Diary by Erika Moen (warning, sometimes NSFW)! Not only is this a fantastic comic by a great person, but it is actually ending Tuesday (12/29) after 6+ years. I myself have been reading it since it started, back on GAM I think… Anyways, take a look through the archives if you haven’t already, and maybe take a moment to congratulate Erika on the successful run of her comic :)

Well, I guess that’s it for now… see you next year!

    I love this comic and it’s deeply complex characters. So many layers, and some of them quite painful. Understandably Luca is undergoing alot of pressure, as most rulers do (sane or not), and I really can’t forsee a good outcome for him and his relationships with his family, and his people.

    My favorite panel would have to be the one where he says “You think you know what hurting is?” Gosh, those eyes must of been fun to draw.

    Just one small mistake I noticed. The word “gave” in the first panel should be written as ‘give’ in the present tense. A bit anal, yes, so feel free to fix as you please.

    God your style of shading and character design have always been so…sooo…..so awesome god. And question, why is Luca missing teeth now? He wasnt before, right?……./checks

    OK, either I missed something, don’t understand or it wasn’t said yet – what’s that business with stolen body?

  7. See, what they said in that article about it more needing to be printed than being viewed as a page-by-page syndication, THIS is what I’m concerned about when I get Synthesis started hahaha.

    I think I might do a page-by-page trickle at the start… but if it gets to the point, I might do larger grouped updates of like, half a chapter or something. I dunno.

    RARRGH by the time I actually get started, you’ll be half done with the meek.

      Yeah, it can be annoying, but on the other hand I realize its going to take me a long time to get my pages done and fuck everyone, this is free and I have a real job in the meantime. No complaining! It also trains you to treat each page like a story that needs a setup and reason to want to read the next page…

      If that were the case, you’d be starting 10 years from now D: I’ve done the preliminary math on how long this is going to take me and its not looking good, haha…

      • Hahaha, didn’t it take like, 4 years for the guys to put out the first issue of SkyDoll?

        Either way, I think when I post Synthesis, it will read in a real comic-book spread format. Two pages per click, a right and left page. I’ve always liked seeing the compositions of two pages next to each other :3

    “You think you know what hurting is?”
    If not for that little clink to distract him I really would’ve feared the outcome of things for poor Phe.
    I’ve also read ahead the next two pages, but looking back to the very panel where you see Luca’s eyes…I can’t feel bad for him. Not yet.

    The art is also phenominal, but if I tried to state everything i loved about it I would break my keyboard.
