Description It has just occured to me that Sarin has been monologuing for five pages now...
I think Sarin will be remembered as 'The angsty girl with all the fonts' 0_o'
Luckily this is the end of Sarin's long, angsty monologue.
The next page has violence! Yay! And big swords! Yay! And Rekki! YAY!

Let's see....What can I say about this page? It's not very exciting as pages go. Basically, there are a few things I had to set up:
1. Sarin is a thinker, but she can still be a strong and sensible decision maker. She is a reliable person. She also feels very responsible for the people she's supposed to look after.
2. In case it hadn't been enforced enough, Sarin is extremely critical of herself. It's a key point of her character and probably one of her best and worst qualities at the same time.
3. It ought to be obvious as hell by now, but I wanted to really hammer it in that Rekki and Rocket are sisters.
Style wise, there's not a lot to say. The back shot of Sarin I quite like, it looks very Shounen manga esque, the eye shot lost something in scanning, it looked better on paper.
I did the trees really minimally on this page. The trees needed to be there, but I didn't want them drawing attention. I kind of wish I hadn't set this part of the story in a wood now. It makes it really hard to tell what the world they live in is like, and I'm so bored of just trees! Ah well.

I eagerly await the violence. And big swords. And Rekki.

And the back shot is very nice. Good job.

The violence is proving hard to draw...this may take a little while 0_o'

Big cities won't feature too much (Especially not early on) but you will certainly get to see the town where they all live, 'Alversetown' the main town of the county of Alverse, is a largish town. The world setting isn't typical fantasy (as you might guess from the clothing and use of acronyms in speech) It's kind of like 1960's England, but in some ways made more modern, in others made more archaic, and obviously, with knights walking around. It's kind of hard to explain, but I think what I'm getting at is something vibrant and yet homely, I like to think of the opening sequence of the first Austin Powers movie (you know how they're all dancing through an over the top, idealised version of 60's London? Anglise looks a little bit like that.)
