Page 731…
Hope you guys are enjoying the story.
I really had a difficult time getting the dialog just so for these last pages. So much I WANT to reveal…but not all of it SHOULD be revealed…not just yet.
I hope I’m giving you enough information to last you until the next chapter.
To answer those who were asking about the guest strips and pinups…
Again…600×900 is best. But if you have another size. That’s fine too. Contact me via the contact and I’ll reply so you can send me the page.
have fun…and thanks.
As always…thank you for reading and thank you for the comments. I’ll do my best to reply…but until my dad gets out of the hospital…I may be a bit slow.
Thank you for your prayers, well wishes, and support for him as well. I really am blessed to have such great readers as yourselves.
Oh ouch… That’s just harsh.
I’ve been stalking this comic for a while now and I absolutely love it. 😀 At first I was a bit skeptical about the 3D art style, not very common in the webcomic world. It’s grown on me and I’m hooked! Can’t get enough. I love where the story is going and I can’t wait to read more. ^^
Keep up the good work!
Was it me or did the last page’s dialog and camera angle get shifted around. I like it better the way it is now, though. It was kinda odd with Felicity standing next to him.
Hmm, should it be “illusions to the contrary…” in the second panel? Allusions would mean she would be subtly indicating she believed otherwise, right? BTW love the comic.
Well…it’s official. He’s not too bright. Guess it’s all those millennia of superiority, just habit to him now. Doesn’t he realize that they knew she was a thief and accepted her anyway? Knowing that she is also a failed spy wont really add too much distrust. Especially since our hero is so naive.
well if she couldnt be trusted she would have kept the amulet once she knew what it was
I think its goint to be Nastajia who sticks up for her to Nicodemus
oh yeah almost forget to say that the first panel is gold man you captured the emotion perfectly, I relay feel her pain right there, I probably couldnt talk either
One sceptically lifted eyebrow often tells more than a face distorted by rage or so. and Nastajias expression towards Nicodemus (geez, that dragon LOVES his own voice, innit?) promises something. I still think he’s bound to get clubbed over the head or so, just coz he’s such a *piep* bragger.
I feel so bad for Felicity…she was always a character that appealed to me–I’m a sucker for thieves. 😉
is it just me or does nastaija look a little pissed off there?
Well, that was stupid of Nicodemus. He should have left the group under the impression that Felicity was working for him, not tell them that she didn’t work out as a spy and that she therefore cannot be trusted.
I really hope Nastajia tells ole Niccy where he can go stuff it.
At this point I don’t think Nico cares what he tells Alex & his group. Nico probably thinks of them all as dead, anyway. They’re in a confined space with a fire breathing dragon and no way of hurting him short of a full-on assault which would currently amount to suicide. Nico even has the amulet which is their one hope.
Sure, Nico loves the sound of his own voice, but he thinks he’s won – and with good reason…
D: Here’s hoping that they stick the sword in Nico’s eye.
Now the only thing I could see Felicity possibly betraying the group over is if her human was involved. Nico lured her with promises to -help- her. Maybe at least, but ugh I can’t wait to see him go down for being the hot aired villian he is.
Nicodemus is looking quite evil, great angle there.
monkey: Do you really think Nastajia will defend Felicity? I don’t think so. It will most likely be Alexander.
@Protected:
What I read on our heroes’ faces is this: Alex might actually start to have some doubts about Felicity’s trustworthyness. But Nastajia looks like Nico’s words had the exact opposite effect on her than Nico intended.
As in: If Nico says Felicity can’t be trusted, than it probably means that she can!
@Rei:
I have a very specific theory concerning Felicity’s human friend. If it is correct, it shouldn’t be too long now before we see it revealed. And if it’s correct, then Alex and friends are in a much better position to help her than Nico.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that Nico couldn’t have made all kinds of promises the Felicity.
Aww, Felicity sheds silver tears.
Not only is it “illusions” instead of “allusions”, I think you meant “rescinded” instead of “recanted”. To recant is for someone to take back something they’ve said or testified to. To rescind is to similar, but means to undo from the beginning. SHE would have to recant testimony or a promise — but Nicodemus can rescind her pardon.
I agree with ArdRhi on all points. The word “rescinded” seems like a pretty good choice too, although perhaps “nullified”, “voided”, or “revoked” are other possibilities?
D’oh…Nicodemus is exhibiting the classic “talk too damn much” flaw of otherwise formidable villains everywhere. Not a complaint re the strip, I think it’s realistic that he’d do that…as pointed out earlier, he figures he has them dead to rights, literally. And I think it’s been well-established that he has a bit of an ego.
I love the expression on Nastajia’s face, she likes like Angelina Jolie about to unleash some whoop-ass on someone.
Nastajia looks like she’s ready to go off! STICK AN ARROW IN THAT DRAGON, DAGNABBIT!!!
Well, I finally finished reading the whole comic in about six hours and now I have to wait for weekly updates. *sigh*
Great job Scott!
yea~! i agree w/ everyone who thinks nick is talking too much for his own good =)
the way i read alex’s expression, i get the feeling that he thinks so too. The raised eyebrow looks like “uh.. thanks for confirming that what she’s been doing was NOT what you commanded her to do….”
nastajia probably tuned out by now and is just looking at nick’s nice smooth neck and chest where it’d be so good to stick an arrow and/or sword into~~ XP or maybe fantasizing about cutting out his tongue~~
Just sending the comic and artist some love. all the best with ur dad tho.
I don’t know what I’d do without you all…
Thank you so much for the English tutoring.
Allusions is now Illusions.
Recanted is now Rescinded.
🙂
Thanks also for the well wishes and such too.
Oh…and welcome all you new readers too.
Scott
OMG I just found this site last night an have already made it through the whole thing! Awesome comic and I can’t wait to see more. Looks like I have a new favorite. 🙂
@scott: Kep up the good work – and best wishes to your da, bless him.
yeah, for good ol’ Nicodemus, there’s just four words:
selfconfident. cocky. lazy. dead. (by tad williams)
I have to say, everytime I run through my list of favorite webcomics, checking for updates, I always save yours for last. The graphics are just so beautiful, and the expressions are, as well. =3 Thanks so much for sharing this with us!
Best wishes for your dad!
I really hope that you keep Felicity in. She’s my favourite character. I’m not sure what to think she is. Is she a good person-cat-thing or is she a bad person-cat-thing or a neither?
Oh and I thought it was supposed to be quite cliché to have the main bad guy monologuing… Oh well. I like the odd cliché now and again.
Always get the villain monologuing. It never ends well….
I’m thinking Nastajia’s about to open a can on Nick. I know she didn’t like Felicity in the past, but look at her face!! Take him down, Nastajia! Woo!!
Enough BS Mossiman!! I know you’re working for the Combine! … oh wait … wrong computer generated betrayal drama, sorry. ^_^
Jack: Now that I looked better, you may be right about Nastajia. But even if Alex is stupid enough to believe Nicodemus, is it really his personality to doubt Felicity? I don’t think so.
i think she just don’t likes that she is a spy
I feel soo sorry for felicity
You always stand a chance with gloaters. 🙂
Nicodemus: “And furthermore…wait, what’s that?”
Alex: “It’s your spleen. I cut it out while you were blabbing.”
Wow, Nicodemus and Nastaja now have something in common. Well, they did. Now it’s time for Nastaja to do a complete 180 and defend her.
I can say one thing: if Nastajia decides to defend Felicity, she’s going to earn herself THE most devoted of followers…
okay, i have to admit she was rather fishy, but hey, i had dis feeling that even if she was technically a spy she would defect.
BTW i THOUGHT those guards in the prison went down too easy…
I don’t dig dragons dishing damning dirt on our delightful dame. >=(
Fliss is a good girl, damnit.
