Bibliography II

[rocketpony]

Boss shading, 'gune. And Ben! Breaking out the F-word! What cute girl wants a handsome young man like you to say that you're just her friend?
Hey Satomi, let's be friends - HAND-HOLDING FRIENDS. Let's hold hands. :3
Also there's a Frankenstein's Codex, if I'm not mistaken. Lookin' more like the monster than the man.

[Lix Lorn]

DONT
ITS A TRAP
._.

My tail is tingling...

[Creed]

Ben's so cheesy when he's awkward...

Well, both the "Builds a Monster" and "Modifies Self" options are available. That could be a Creation ordered to help people move around, with the page elsewhere, or it could be a Page.

[Yorrin]

Art evolution indeed! The artwork in this page is absolutely gorgeous! Especially the closeups in panels 3, 4 and 8, though I also like the figures in 1 and 7 a lot too.

[Fayd]

ART EVOLUTION! Very nice work. I like the shading particularly. And the very good emotional range you pulled off with Eve. And the implied tone of voice you used with your text styles.

Basically, excellent job!

[HalfTangible]

I thought eve looked a bit off in one panel (maybe it's just me, but the angle looked weird) But otherwise, yeah, absolutely awesome.

[Zeful]

Page 9

Art evolution. I cannot quit you.

Eve's face looked kinda flat in panel 4.

[Kunoichi777]

Elagune, you're awesome. And I am incredibly jealous of your ability to draw human faces.

A little look at the art evolution here:

I dunno, I liked Satomi's old eyelashes.

[Calemyr]

I dunno, I liked Satomi's old eyelashes.

That's it! That's why I thought Satomi was a girl at the beginning, but her whole bros before hos line was making me wonder if I'd just lost my mind. I had, of course, but I was still right that there was pretty good evidence.

The use of the f-word (friend) doesn't bother me, because I get the feeling Ben thinks the same way I do: He's trying to set up a comfortable connection with her - no preconceptions, no expectations, just acceptance. He really doesn't know her from Adam, truth be told, other than that she's a page, that she has history with pages descending thanks to her father, and that he trusts her. He's not saying more is impossible or even undesirable. He's simply saying that - whatever else is or may be going on - the one fact that remains is that he is her friend and a willing ear. There are worse foundations to build a relationship upon.

[HalfTangible]

He doesn't know about her father

But otherwise, yeah. Makes sense.

[Calemyr]

He doesn't know about her father

But otherwise, yeah. Makes sense.

Oh, yeah, right. Forgot she didn't actually SHARE that bit of history.

Girls can be a "bro" too. That line works for anyone (even inverted - a girl can use it when referring to a female friend and the friend's boyfriend). The genders don't really matter, just the sentiment.

...I just noticed that Elagune set Bibliography in Canada. I don't know what took me so long to read that paragraph...

[Maximum Zersk]

Really?

[Fayd]

Really?

Yes really. I missed reading the paragraph, ok?

[Maximum Zersk]

Yes really. I missed reading the paragraph, ok?

Okay.

Hm, I wonder what's going to happen next.

[rocketpony]

Okay.

Hm, I wonder what's going to happen next.

Opal's going to show up.
It's gonna be extremely rad.

[Tono]

Opal died in 1992. Unless there is a Zombie Codex (Which I am not doubting) I doubt the would be Princess of Orleans will be making an appearance.

[BRC]

Opal's going to show up.

If I were Elagune, I would have the characters walk past a jewelry store selling some opal jewelry.

Or end a page with a silhouette of someone in a coat and hat, and Eve saying "Opal!"

Next page it turns out to be a random passer-by with weird hair, and Eve is looking at an opal in the window of said shop.

Or better yet, make the Opal she calls out to a guy.

Or make something called O.P.A.L.

[Prime32]

Except that it would be written "O.P.A.L." in the speech bubble, fooling no one.

SHIELD is shortened without punctuation so why not this?

Of course, they need to be yelling to avoid it standing out anyway

I personally wouldn't mind seeing Opal actually appear in the story, even as a background character.

Her design is a bit different so it will be nice to see how Elagune will do it

[HalfTangible]

Except that it would be written "O.P.A.L." in the speech bubble, fooling no one.

Or everybody just calls it Opal because spelling out Oh Pee Ae El every time you refer to it is a pain in the ass

[Viera Champion]

Thank you.

Wait... What does this even mean? Is this serious or...?

Um this conversation is starting to veer off quickly.

I concur.

Ok... I have no idea what's going on anymore.

[Tono]

Wait... What does this even mean? Is this serious or...?

As serious as a head injury.

[Viera Champion]

As serious as a head injury.

So then what do you mean by it? Opal died in 1992? She hasn't even been introduced in the comic yet.

[Prime32]

She was introduced last week. What are you talking about?
