Hey, nice avatar! Thanks, Karen – she’s def shaping up to be one of my new fav characters as well. Come now, does Karillion really seem like the costume kind of place? Spandex wearing superheroes may work for some cities, but not Karillion. I’m pretty sure if you went to any shopping center in downtown Karillion, you would find the majority of the stores would only sell black – or – dark colored hoodies and of course black pants…ohhh the variety. However, could we see Kira down the road in sexy normal clothes – just worn in a creative way?….Maybe…always open to suggestions
Mmm, you have a point. Maybe some day, at some police ball in a sexy cock tail dress, some trouble will go down in the kitchen and
she’ll come help the Landscaper…
Either that, or some bad guy will connect her to the Landscaper, try kidnapping her, and find himself opening a huge can of whoop-ace.
Seriously, one of the best things I’ve seen on the internet, both art and comic wise. And I’m including some things which charge cash money! Great storyline, pretty bloody gritty with a solid ethic and a likable, if not always ‘right’, protagonist. Don’t stop drawing!
… I *love* this page. Especially after reviewing the last one. The change from the light-brown-darkness of the previous page to this purple-pitch-black setting is really… intense. It reflects the clashing opinions of Brian and Kira.
The brand watermark in the center of the page is a pretty nice touch – everything revolves around it, and it looms over the scene. Have I said already that it’s a pretty murky logo to begin with? This here puts an even darker shade to it.
One thing that immediately sprung into my eye is the kind of… viscous? effect as he’s pulled into the door. Sure, I could interpret that as a transition from the edges of the floor setting into the fluidity of the room setting, but… hmmn. It just looks strange to me.
Yay now landscaper has his own personally Medkit… I mean nurse. I wonder what his next power-up… I mean upgrade, is gonna be like. Hopefully he does not run out of extra lives… I mean luck… and he can shoot north in the face… I mean shoot north in the face repeatedly.
Hey all, thanks so much for all the great feedback. I really enjoyed working on this page, and it’s awesome to see that you all were feeling the vibe I was aiming for. Sometimes you take a gamble on a page in terms of pallet and mood, but I feel this page def has the voice it needed.
Karen, great suggestions, I’m on board with anything that ends with the lines “opening a huge can of whoop-ace.”
Thanks, Sam – I’m psyched you liked the page, and was also feeling the vibe…Always happy to assist with an exploding mind.
TenorPenny, thanks so much for the awesome feedback. Like I’ve said before to all our readers *present company* – it’s comments like these that really makes me want to continue with this comic. I can’t tell you all enough, how much your support has meant to me over these past few years – We will do our best to continue the work, to expand this world. As long as we have readers..there will be a comic.
Spess, I’m so amped to hear you got it. The contrast between the ideals and opinions of Bry and Kira, reflected through tone – and mood. Also the dark overtone that the band took on for the page, seems to be well received. I also like the way the two halves the hedge clippers in the brand, almost appear to be connecting them in a way. And for the first time it appears Dan has a little more confidence in himself, a major contrast to the dejected, hung head demeanor of the previous page. Yeah, your interpretation would be correct. It was the effect I was kind of going for…however sometimes what you see in your head doesn’t always work as well on paper…errr screen. As long as the general separation is conveyed,(ie. pulling from one mind set to another.) I’m happy with that.
Raron: major win! Now all Dan has to find is the Mk assault nail guns on 4th level of foundry building – then he’ll truly have the *solid gear* needed.
Thanks again for all the great feedback guys – see you all next Thursday. c-
At least someone does… I mean if I had a dollar for everytime someone told me I was weird in highschool I would have… a good bit of money… the odd part is they said it like it was an insult… strange isn’t it?
But I must say… after looking at this page again our favorite nurse looks kinda… diabolical behind LSers back… like that demon on your shoulder edging you on… Can’t help but wonder what her motives are… if she is what she is… or if she has her own agenda.
Chris – been saving up the pages to read a bunch together. What an awesome job. LOVE this story, the plot twists, the characters – love it. Keep up the great work. When the big film companies come calling, tell them you know a writer in Boston that should adapt this!
Raron: I’m pretty sure we were all told we were weird in high school at one point or another. I know I was the kid who would be sitting in front of his locker sketching for the entire free period. Or the kid who would get in trouble, for drawing on my Math book cover during class (wrapped in a brown paper bag, mind you – the book, not me.) I think at some stage we all realized – the weird ones, were the more interesting ones…I still believe that to this day.
I really like the fact that you’re thinking about these pages. I love to hear that readers are trying to figure out motives and why characters are doing particular things – and how this will effect the story arc. It means we are creating a world that people are getting immersed into *myself included* – and there’s no better compliment than that.
mrcrazy_monkey: Thanks. Yeah, I really like the LS symbol in the background as well. I feel it ties the mood of the page together, and like Spess said, creates an intentional darker tone to the scene.
Rich: Man, thanks so much. It really means a lot. I’ve always looked up to you as a writer & film maker, and have now realize, just how challenging it is to create a good story. I think in the end, we’re trying to develop something we would like to read – and put together a story and characters that we would be interested in following week after week – (and thankfully, others have enjoyed reading as well.) Haha…I think we are getting a head of our selves with this crazy thing ever seeing screen-time – but you’ll be the first one I call if such things take place. I am looking at animation down the road – have a few fun ideas in the works – it would be great to collaborate again on future projects. c-
I like her. I like her a lot.
*Predicts sexy costume is in store in the far off future*

Wow, this page was mind blowing. Loved the tone, mood and everything. Freaking sweet and totally worth the wait.

…’scuse my rambling

@ Raron: That’s a Win, Raron. XD
