Whoo! According to my calcultions, I'm currently missing only one update, which I'll probably take here on Friday. We'll have a double update then, just like yesterday.

And tell me, in how many movies (parodies included) have you seen a similiar scene? That explains Laiti's (yet another) 4th wall breaking comment. I'll make him pay for all those walls! You'll see!

... which makes me wonder... Laiti has a very nice was to say "thank you"...

I'll go for a scetch this week.

There. Distracted Dragon. My newest character. I might change its appearance, though. To make it look more dragonish. Although one can already see it's a dragon. If for nothing else, then for the fact that it reads right below the dragon itself.

You'll see D. Daragon in the comic in the future. Or, that's at least how I've planned it.

I am very sorry about the late update(s). The school surprised me in that manner that I haven't had much time to update. However, I aim not to have any "missed" updates so there will be double- triple, maybe even quadruple updates.

So, about this comic. That's the pirate that owned the ship. Is owned the right word? I couldn't think of anything else.

Also, you might not want to try to find out what the small pirate says. It's nothing important. But the bigger one's first reply gives you a hint.

Sometimes thinking of a title is difficult. This time it was easy enough, though.

However, now I can't think of a proper comment. Yay, me.

Also, you might have noticed this one's a bit late. It's because the schools began again and I, naturally, don't have as much time as I'd like to have. Also, my computer is popular in my family. Yay.

Also, a few days ago I began playing retroMUD. It's a text based game. I'm a bit lost there. He he he. So, if you see a character names Lukki shouting, screaming, muttering and mumbling in a dark room because he can't see, you know it's me.

As you might have noticed, I don't have anything to comment to- um... friday's comic. I'll be on my way doing this week's comics in a moment.

This is the weekly special for this week, and I decided to make it wallpaper -like. I'm not sure if I succeeded. I doubt. Well, better luck for me next time.

Also, I'll try to put medium and small sizes as well, depending if the gallery can scale them properly.

The picture itself is in one of Black Army's bases. The guy in the big hat is just one of Black Army's many leaders. This particular one is one of the most high-ranking. He's known as "The Boss" to his underlings.

In the process, I made the background on one paper and the four nearest people on another.

EDIT: Seems like the gallery scales them nicely. And hey, I've got a new background ;)

Okay, let's sum this up. The Black Army Goons were chasing this girl when Dark and Noname happened to stroll by. The noise lured dire badger and Dark fled. The badger vanished and Noname beat up the goons and now is sitting in a meadow with the girl.

But what in Venessa's name is she talking about? Well, we'll find that out on friday.

SURPRIIISEEE!!!

It's no longer in RAW form! That is, I changed the way I uploaded it here. From now on, I'm going to upload greyscale comics at this area. However, this process takes such a funny curve that I simply have to make a colored version of the page while at it. Turning it greyscale takes only like 10 seconds, coloring it might take several hours.

Anyway, the colored version of today's comic will be put into the colored pages folder, so look there. I'm quite proud of this one.

Ah. I'm off with my thoughts today. All I'm speaking about is my changed style, yet I forget to comment the comic itself. I feel jovial.

So, the guys hanging in the trees are Black Army goons that Noname and Dark encountered before. All one could say about the smouldering tree stumps is that the battle was fierce. Also, the Dire Badger vanished at some point of the battle as the smaller one implies.

I spent whole weekend reading two webcomics. And guess what, they inspired me. After I had read both of them, I discussed with Laiti about them and I ended up deciding to change my style a bit. I don't feel I'm that good with pencil, so I decided I'll use pen to make stronger lines. This should also give me the ability to pre-scetch my works, making them better balanced. Thank you, Laiti!

Laiti, er... um... I'm not scitzophrenic! Well, okay, maybe a little. But what kind of comic author was I if I wasn't?

Laiti counts for me as a self-check.

First thing you might notice is that the picture is a bit messy around Dark... I have explanations for that. if you don't want to hear them, you can just imagine Dark has a... dark aura around him.

Actually the mess came when I was drawing Soulcweep (She's on the left). I find it difficult to draw female characters. That's why there aren't so many of them. I had the use eraser a lot, draw lines again several times... and stupid me, I had drawn Dark and Malus before drawing Cweep.

Also, Soulcweep didn't end like I wanted her to... but I'm happy with this. I haven't drawn her that much after all.

Now, let's get to actual character introductions. As I mentiones, that's Soulcweep on the left. Nobody is exactly sure where she came from... Oh, for Venessa's sake... I noticed I didn't draw her arm completely... Oh well, that's such a small thing it's not easy to notice... I guess... Well, in reality, she has both arms. So just ignore the stupid author.

The middle one is Dark. You know him well enough. Let's move on.

On the right you see Malus Oculus. I think he's an android or something, since he looks like human, but is actually 100% nanobots. He uses those as weapons. That cloud coming from his hand is a small cloud of nanobots.

On the background you can see Team Keg chasing their runaway balloon. No one's sure if they're still aligned to Dark or not, since he used them only once, but is still responsible of their existence.

That's a pretty long comment... Anyway, no more weekly special about Dark for a while. We've had enough.

Hmm... also, I think that particular frame is in a bad spot. One might accidentally look at it before the one where Dark speaks... Hmph... I gotta remember not to use those large speech bubbles again... They break the rules of good comics in so many levels. Oh well. To live is to learn.

And in case you didn't get it, Darkwiz transformed temporarily into liquid form (a very common spell amongst spellcasters) to escape his cage. And Laiti just did some simple spell to break his cage.

Why didn't they do that before? I can list several things.

Week-o-fillah is here at last. I have waited this moment since the exam week, believe it or not.

Remember, these are fillers. Though they would seem to fit the continumium (or whatever the jig-jag is called), they are still fillers.

The first filler represents the possibility that RImas NArud of the Ropemakers saved Noname. Yes, Rimas is the badly-drawn fella in the middle. Please say it's badly drawn. *puppy eyes*

Ooh, it's no use! I've grown too skillful! I can't even draw badly anymore!

Anyway, the story behind the "badly-drawness" is that... hm... Rimas "wants to draw himself and doesn't let anybody else do that. He insults all other drawings of him. And as you can see, he's not a very good drawer. Or that's how it's supposed to seem.

Makes you wonder, how can you draw yourself into existence? *shrugs*
