Remember how I said "No new comics for a few weeks"
Remember how I'm a liar? Current Comic: James might be a little angry
Spoiler
I don't know why I had James flip out like this, but it just seems right. Also, Aranea deserves it, he really does.
I might change this one around tomorrow (Tried to get away from the Desk thing as much as possible). Next comic will switch back to our merry band of Rebels, will fast forward to T: 0 Hours 23 minutes (or so), and will not feature a single desk!
Thank you for bearing with me through this incrediably boring part of the chapter. Now we get to the fun stuff (No spoilers, but I'm practicing drawing explosions)
ALSO: Apparently, it was Bastille Day recently, Considering the nature of my comic, I should have done something for that, maybe I will.

Ah well, I probably deserve it, considering it dosn't look like I'll get a comic done this week. I waited too long to get it done. I know what needs to happen, but I can't quite visualize it. I'll keep working on it, maybe get it done for Monday.
But yeah, I'm sorry. After getting back from vacation they had me working six days straight, and then I managed to not get comic stuff done on my two days off, now I'm nice and sleep-deprived (By the double logic of "I don't have work tommorow, I'm going to stay up late" and "I don't want to sleep too late, it's my day off and I don't want to sleep through my day off!"!)

Once again, sorry about last week/the preceeding month.
Hey, remember whenI used to update on mondays? Woah those were some crazy days.
Well they're back, at least for this week, Current Comic: How Ungrateful!
Spoiler
Wheeeeeee! A comic without Desks and walls-of-text. Comments?
Now I should probably go back to my artist hole and work on a buffer before Starcraft II arrives.

My first theory is that they are brothers/associates and are trying to bring the two groups together for a sinister motive involving freeing a prisoner who know what the government is planning with those Aglets.
The other is that they are each moles for someone on the other side and are trying to lead the resistance into a trap and get the police of track respectively.
The last is that the one helping the Revolution is there to lead the Jackal away from her job so that they can put something in Jimmy's food or keep him from being distracted by possible romance.

Less crazy than usual it seems
Really, no suspicions that the beards are actually mind-controlling alien parasites and that the comic is shortly going to switch to a cliche-filled alien invasion scenario?
Because the truth is much weirder! Or is it? Dun Dun DUNNNNN

That's ridiculous, it's obvious that the government just used, you know, the beta of their brain-washing-dashing Aglets and hid the blank-ey eyes behind the sunglasses and blajib. you need to think like them, dude, thinking sqaure while plotting our demise, man!
I find it odd how the spider theme is being carried around division 8. regardless of whether you support the rebellion or the revolution, division 8 seems to be the most sinister element in the story so far.
No offence, but in my opinion, the characters in that drawing look like something from the Uncanny Valley. The proportions look off, their legs are too widely spaced (they look as if they were on stilts), the line thickness appears to randomly change throughout the image, and the way you have each movable part of their arms and legs be a separate, unconnected shape makes them appear unnatural.
Just some honest criticism, don't take it personally.
The "Disproportionate" thing I never really understood. I mean, the heads are large and the legs I will admit are a little wide-set, but otherwise they were based upon human proportions. The heads and faces were mostly a style choice, whereas the legs were mostly a side effect of giving people hips and there being no easy way to make close-set legs look natural with the semi-realistic bodies.
The joints, however, don't look off to me. Everything is exactly where I would expect it to be - minus that one bothersome kneecap I only noticed later - but I would be willing to see how I can at least fix the libs to make them less "off" even if I'm not seeing it myself.
But still, this wasn't about my art, it was just some friendly fanart.
Edit: ooh, I forgot the line thickness! It's actually not random - face details are 1.5, most else is 2.0, and small details like fabric folds or the cracks in the road are 1.0

YAY FANART!
*Happy artist dance*
*Leans over*
*Looks Gift Horse in Mouth*
I do wonder why James's Vest turned into a sweater-type-thing. Ah well, it's my fault for treating Sleeves so inconsistently (James and the other officers, as well as Mr Aranea, are supposed to be wearing suits, and so should have long sleeves, yet I draw them as short-sleeved, why, because I'm CRAZY!).
Anyway, Lemme scoop this up and throw it in the Fanart Spoiler. Thanks DLB!

It's no problem. At the moment I've also, while tinkering with inkscape, accidentally fixed my limbs style and am on my way to making some examples in the experimentation class.
Edit: Truth be told, I just thought James'd rolled up his sleeves, and I've seen leather jackets that look like Maria's.

Well, let's see, whenever we've seen him wear it he's been either eating or at work, either way he might want to roll up his sleeves...
yeah, that works! That's my story and I'm sticking too it!
Why does Mister Aranea roll up his sleeves then? clearly, Division 8 is JUST THAT SINISTER!

HA, you thought I'd miss an update this week!
WELL YOU WERE WRONG Current Comic: Getting on your Game Face
Spoiler
Which goes to show that, underneath his stern exterior, Claude is just a guy whose slightly embarrassed about the implications of using an impractically large gun, yet he uses one anyway.

I can't help but see how the guns reflect the roles of the two leaders. Maria is the supposed leader, supposed to be the one who knows the perfect way to get things done, but apart from the raid on the radio station, she has been over shadowed by Claude, who has much more power than she does, yet nominally defers to her.
I think the organization Claude represents doesn't want to be the face of the rebellion. They know the face always gets hit the hardest, so they are setting up maria as a figure head. If she wins, they hold all the strings. If she doesn't, they fade back into the shadows where they came from, and followers of 'the jackal' join them.
Sorry guys, reality and comic making are not on speaking terms right now. In the time it should have taken me to get a comic done, I barely got a script.
This weekend is going to kill me (I'm one of the last seasonal employees to leave the zoo, which means long hours and hot days....yay, getting to work by 7:30 then listening to carosel music for 11 hours, then having another 11 hour day the next day...)
aanyway, my shambling corpse, reanimated by science too terrible to even consider, will hopefully have enough integrity to shuffle over to the computer and attempt a double update next week to make up for this one.
Also, here, take some art, it's lazy.
Spoiler

Ceasar said 'the die is cast' meaning, there is no turning back. The words are significant because he was killed in the end, but the people who opposed him also lost.
though the 'die' was cast in chapter one, this comic could prove to be another boundry, where once a path is stepped onto, there is no going back
And my theory that Maria is just being used as a figure-head seems to be more and more accurate
I also appreciate showing some flaws in the Rebels, they were getting kind of scarce

I love the way that man's face faded out after he was shot.
Glad somebody noticed that.
Hey Reb|Rev Fans, a combination of factors (Largely Packing for College and the fact that this next comic presents some tricky design issues) means that I likely won't get a comic done today. I'll also be traveling on thursday, so no comic then.
I'm shooting for a SUPER SPECIAL WEDNESDAY UPDATE! But no promises.
As a peace offering, some more DLB fanart
And some random art I did of James Sci-fi Style
so yeah, sowwy everybody.
