Description Ok, I need to be brief with this description because my internet is on the fritz >_<
Art: I enjoyed drawing this page. I think the panel of Walking Fortress' entrance just sums up the whole comic. It's an un-femenine woman in a big suit of armour and a retro flowery blouse and jeans....Saying 'Bloody Awful'. That is the entire comic in one panel I think.
Other: Hahahaha, I really wanted to have Walking Fortress have her own special font and speech bubbles. It's to show the heavy, cavernous sound her voice has coming out of that armour. Some of you may be happy to see the return of the heavily shadowed house and Sir Shmexy glasses (Who has no name as of yet, you can assume his surname is Ellis though, and he's a random cousin of Juu's) also a full appearance by Juliet's auntie, Fucia Ellis, who has been in the comic from draft one, so I was looking forward to her appearing properly.

Zephyr's design should look pretty different from him whan he turns up, I made some tweaks to him. A lot of the characters are more distinct looking from each other than they were in the early drafts.

"Er. Yes...DREADFUL"

XD
Made me laugh.

Very interesting about the armor...it actually looks very
feminine. I'm aware the the character wearing it is female
but still. It's marvelous how you pulled that off. Good job.

Thanks, that armour took aaaages to design. It's really simple, but to get armour that was simple, bulky, but still relatively femenine was pretty difficult.

Well t' hardwork paid off. She looks cool and feminine at the same time.

I am reminded of the dark knight, Cecil in FFIV.
:d

Despite being a general Paladin fangirl, I have to say that in Cecil's case, he looked waaay cooler when he was a dark knight ^_^Cecil did have an influence on the design, because he was the first thing that came to mind when I thought of simple armour that looks cool.
