I don't know why, but this one took forever to draw. I had no trouble drawing the last panel though. It was one of those, so funny I have to draw it moments.

Not much of a punch line, but we're getting to see Lucien when he's not putting on his fop attitude. I haven't explained how he can talk to his girls, have I? I'll have to do that soon.

When dealing with extras, it's a balancing act to try and make them seem real and believable while not becoming main characters themselves. This gets even harder when something you've writen for one character gets said by someone else.

I try hard to make the body types varied, though sometimes I don't think I push myself enough. I like Milli's design though, she's got a slightly pudgy look (mostly with her face, admitedly) that turned out cute.

To repeat my earlier news post, I've got to take a break for a bit. The plan is to be back the first tuesday in September (Sept. 2nd). Feel free to check back during the break though, as I will be trying to keep updating other things around here like the extras.

And so begins the side quest! This chapter is almost a prologue in my head, and I've always thought that this is where the prologue really got going. I hope you'll think so too.

I had such a time with the dialogue here. I finally just gave up and tried to jam everything in. It overwhelms poor Lucien in the first panel, but the boy's flamboyant enough, it shouldn't be a problem for him.

Lucian's just trying to be mysterious and look evil with that shadow over his eyes. He set the lighting up just so it would do that too.

Although Gate Guardians are treated like royalty here, there is so much stress involved in being one that Ten came to think the title as a job with some nice perks to make up for all the annoyances that come with it. Dealing with people who think they're too important for the rules is one of those annoyances.

I had fun making the text bubbles overlap in the last panel. I may have to play with that effect a little more.

Usually I do a different font to indicate a language not understood by the listener. Since we've been doing things from Tetra's point of view lately and she has a translation spell, I ended up not doing the font change. That and it's just a whole lot easier on me.

If you're getting this comic, that means I'm far too sick to update. Thankfully I live with people who were kind enough to upload this for me. My friends and family all thought this was hilarious, but then, they've seen me do this. The roommate shown is the artist for Heroes Handbook. I'll do my best to get better and be back next week.

It sounds like his welcome line is from a Mario game. Introducing my current favorite character! I have a weakness for flamboyant characters, I suppose.

I drew this one only using my tablet and the laptop not-really-a-mouse. It came out a little better than I thought. Hurray for procrastination!

At first I wasn't sure if I was going to do this scene at all. In fact, I completed an entirely different comic to go here, and decided afterword that I really needed this for the story to flow properly.
