“Is that too much to ask for?” Chel reached into the trunk and began pulling out golden fabric. It looked like it was one piece of cloth, edged in something that looked like scaley feathers. The texture was incredibly soft[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

So today I took the time to finish up the rest of the dialogue for the chapter (I usually end up writing a lot of dialogue by itself at once as part of my script writing) and did a rough estimation of how much chapter is left...

And it's almost 20 pages more.  So yeah, this is a long chapter.  Mostly because it's an anthology of shorter tidbits that sort of move the first arc into the second arc.  The first two tidbits (official term) were about ten pages apiece, but this one is closer being its own chapter in length.  But I wanted all these stories together for narrative reasons, and thus a really long chapter!

I actually no idea how long the next chapter is going to be... I know what's in it, but I haven't plotted out the particulars out well enough to put a page count on it.  It might actually be kind of long too, not because there's a ton of dialogue/story particulars, but because there's actually some extended action stuff in it that just takes up more page space.  WHOOPS SPOILERS, THERE'S GONNA BE AN ACTION SCENE.  It's been a while, so I'm looking forward to it.  Also, it will definitely be the last chapter of this volume, regardless of length!  Wow, these books are way too freaking long.

He's shocked by his own success.

– I’m trying something new! Starting today, I’ll be offering new Modest Medusa t-shirts every month! Way back in the day I used to sell Medusa shirts, but they were just too expensive to keep in stock and I didn’t make much money on them anyway. Over the last few years I’ve had a few companies make me offers to produce shirts, but they were never good deals. And then here came Tom Churchill! Tom is a regular Modest Medusa reader and makes his own shirts. He’ll be producing and shipping the shirts, and we’ll be splitting the money. Thats good for me and good for Tom. Plus, I’m happy to be in business with one of my readers!

So here’ s how it works. Each month we’ll offer a new shirt design at the beginning of the month (this month we’re a little late). The shirt will be available for order until the end of the month. At the end of the month Tom will print all the shirts (it’s cheaper and easier to do all at once) and ship them out. Nice and easy!

We’ll be doing a new shirt each month. This month is the Season 2 shirt, based on art I produced a few years ago. Thh shirt features Medusa, Marah, Urano and Jake and is available in blue or white shirts in both women’s and men’s styles for just $20 (+ shipping). Sizes range for Small to 5xl. You can order the shirt on Tom’s Etsy shop until the 31st of this month! We’ll have a new design next month.

 

– Also, there’s a new episode of Ghost Kiss! (Rated PG 13)

So a friend of mine is doing a Kickstarter for a new comic! It's called The Mystery of La Luna and it's a fun sci-fi romp about friendship and space travel :U

(Also the covers are going to be sparkly! SPARKLY COVERS)

True stories of basement apartment living. Also, true stories of trying to accommodate huge men in said basement apartments.

Fun fact, I actually had this one about half drawn and inked before the accident, then had to shelf it until I had the hand control necessary to match the lineweight. Week four and I think it turned out pretty okay!

Hello everyone! I'm terribly sorry for the delay on this week's page, it was the results of a few unfortunate events. Thanks for being patient with me, and I hope you'll enjoy looking at Dan's mug again.

Also, last week I made a promotional post along with some new artwork, you can check it out here!

Theo really likes his tea. Also, Asha’s mom is a Felis! There’s a good story to this, and it’s much more interesting than Theo’s love of tea — which is why I’m going to talk about the tea first. Theo’s love for tea is partly personal inspiration, because I also really like tea (and coffee, but also tea). When I took a trip to Ireland many years ago, I was taught how to make a proper cup of Irish Breakfast by a very loud, honestly awesome Irishman whose name I never quite got. He was very specific that I place the bag in the water and not touch it in any way for three minutes.

“Three minutes?” I asked.

“Well, it can either be three minutes or 180 seconds. Your choice.”

After the three minutes (or 180 seconds — my choice) the bag was removed, a dollop of milk added (not cream — and a “dollop” is apparently scientific measurement in the UK), and a teaspoon of sugar added and stirred. Because I was using a bag, the milk went in after the tea was steeped, but apparently whether you put the milk in first or second is a big freaking deal in the British Isles. I’m pretty sure that’s what the War of the Roses was all about.

ANYWAY.

Asha’s adoptive mother is a Felis! Her parents made the dangerous crossing from the Northern Wastes before Asha was even born, and the journey took a deadly toll on the both of them. This kindhearted Felis saved the newborn Asha from her terrible fate, and raised her as her own daughter. The tavern makes a good hideout for Asha and her friends, as it’s located in the slums of Nessa and in a rather inconspicuous location to boot!

This week, for guest art, two pieces! First, a piece from Jakub that features a continuation of the Cain and Yurk story we all remember taking place before this chapter. Yes, a true resolution is finally found, and yes, it involves some of that Tamian wine:

Truth be told, drinking too much of that Tamian wine would make anybody see anything.

Cain and Yurk have some wonderful eccentricities about them that I absolutely love — their love of parkour is obviously thanks to Jerome’s own appreciation of the form, and their tendency to fist-bump is a bit anachronistic, but it’s stuff like that that makes them special. Thank you, Jakub, for bringing these two back in another of your amazingly wonderful behind-the-scenes episodes :)

Our second piece this week is, coincidentally, done by Jerome! My birthday was last week, and Jerome decided to put together a fun little gift picture for me!

That is me, yes, walking through the markets of Nessa. I’ve carelessly placed my wallet in a location easily accessible by thieving claws, and Beck has shown up to teach me a lesson in personal finance management.

Yes, I’m being robbed blind by my own creation. The irony is not lost on me!

Here’s the update! Perhaps it’s time to compare stories, guys. Guys? No? Okay then. ~Mindy

This page is a little retread from one of the Dabbler’s Science Corners, but it’s the first time Sydney’s actually discussed this with Harem at length, as evidenced by the fact she didn’t even know her real name. Harem probably said it at the press conference, but Sydney was kind of fading in and out during it. Unrelated, but I am pleased that Sydney is rocking the “Imperious hands behind back” pose, but she’s still fidgeting and trying to scratch her foot through her shoe.

Harem can bring a battle rifle to her teammates, so she could obviously pilfer jewels and hard drives, USB drives, documents, even moderately large piles of cash, and there’d be nothing preventing her from making multiple trips. She’s also make a hell of an assassin, as would anyone who could wholly circumvent any detection, security, and even physical barriers. Of course she’s thought about all this stuff, anyone growing up with powers would. Many of us without those powers would. It’s almost surprising that the worst thing she gets up to (that we know about) is being a double (?) agent with Deus and the occasional prank.

Of course the problem with being able to teleport is alibi. Once it’s known you can do that, every case of something going missing from an otherwise secure location with no evidence of ingress or tampering with the security or vault, people would have trouble not considering you for the crime. Same thing with any locked door murder mystery. Unless you’ve got Johnathan Creek on hand to solve it, suspicion would naturally come your way. Really, it would be a bad idea to use any super power during the commission of a crime (ignoring the fact that it would make it an automatic felony and prompt the involvement of Archon) But if you can rip the doors off a bank vault, it’s a really bad idea to do that, because even assuming you didn’t leave your fingerprints in the steel, it still instantly winnows the lists of suspects down from 7 billion to a few hundred, tops. You can disintegrate stuff with your eyebeams? Guess who we think left this perfectly smooth hole in the side of Fort Knox, dummy.

Actually if you were a criminal with superpowers, keeping them a secret would almost be more important than if you were a hero with a secret identity – Assuming of course that you’re the kind of criminal that likes getting away with stuff and not the kind that likes to instigate brawls in parking lots. You couldn’t tell your crew about them cause they’d flip on you the minute they’re nicked, which means you couldn’t plan any heists that relied on those powers. Obviously there are exceptions. If you could telekinetically feel the position of the tumblers inside a lock, or see them with your N-Ray vision or whatever, you could get away with people just thinking you were a master safecracker, but if your powers left any physical evidence at all, you’d basically only be able to use them as a last resort.
