Mmm~ I love glimpse of background story. Glimpses or background story are delicious, and I eat them up. And you didn't overdo it either, which is great! Some comic artists fall into the trap of doing massive flashbacks in the middle of beginning of their story, but this page sums it up nicely and neatly without going to deeply into it yet!
The situation makes me wonder at our main character's true feelings though. Clearly, he would be an outside and prisoner in such a situation ... but, ultimately, how he truly feels about it may be confusing even to him. Hm, only time will tell where his loyalties will lie when they matter most, methinks ... C:

Thanks for your opinion hehe! Yeah it also has a lot to do with Yves' personality - I mean how he deals with the situation. He's pretty impulsive, but also very optimistic and friendly. And too honest ... but maybe that confuses him even more...But in the next chapter some things will become more clear XD

I'll make a line between the bubbles taht are connected to one panel. I think that will be more clear because I usually get lost in 'flying' bubbles too - but I saw it often in other comics so I gave it a try i this page - but it seems to come out confusing - you're not the only one mentioning it XD - so time to fix the problem

graciegra In reply to FelisGlacialis [2012-11-06 21:05:47 +0000 UTC]
It confuses a little the order of the bubbles because on the left panel they are very close the bubbles so you think that they are in order and then the bubbles that are on the right side are the next ones, i dunno if i explain what i mean xD

awsmdragonqueen [2012-11-05 03:00:26 +0000 UTC]
The order of your bubbles were a little confusing to me. I kept reading them out of order... maybe if you connected them with a little line or something?
Otherwise very good

FelisGlacialis In reply to awsmdragonqueen [2012-11-05 11:46:17 +0000 UTC]
Good idea - I tried it first, but thought that it disturbs. I'll try a thinner line then

oh yes i know still it's sad that it has to be that way. *I'm not suggesting to change anything lol* Again I think I've said this before but I think it's good to leave some things unanswered because...it's giving the characters their privacy just like any other real breathing creature.

oh tragic history D:
but i hope this can convince Nigras to accept Yves without hitting him again O.o
But was Yves limited of all his actions and where he could go while he was raised by the Hyenas?
btw awesome page like always!
i'm adoring to read it

FelisGlacialis In reply to Svartya [2012-11-10 11:30:31 +0000 UTC]
Yesh - more or less, they tracked him down wherever he was and always had to hunt together with the hyenas and such. But hidden from other cheeds as much as possible.

Thanks! They are one of the rare original felid species that are not pantherines XD - well...they have some tiger-features but they are mainly inspired by Oriental cats and Eurasian lynxes XD - making them as a Siamese- tiger-lynx hybrid rather unique I think XD
