Description Welcome back! It turned out I needed a few days off a lot more than I thought. In addition to attending the great Stumptown Comics Fest I spent my week off hanging out with friends and working on a short 10 page super hero comic. I also got a bit more art done for the Magical land of Yeld rpg. I got to go to Bridge City Comics for free comic day. I spent several hours playing Planetside 2. I ate at several of my favorite restaurants, including Lucky Strike. I spent a few hours talking about X-Men on Facebook. I saw Iron Man 3 with my brother Will. I walked to work 5 or 6 time since the weather has been so nice. So all in all, not a bad week! Time to get back to work!

- A little bit of Yeld trivia. The big mean looking dude shown here is a Fairy. The Fairies of Yeld are mostly professional soldiers that make up Dragul’s armies. We’ve seen them here and there in the comic, but I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned that they’re actually called Fairies, except in the Coloring Book. So now you know.

Dude, the third panel where CU is like hiding in the snow/background reminded me of Jaws and que Jaw's theme

I'm wondering how long it took the Knight of Chains to get buried in snow for this ambush to work.

I love how your art style depicts the motion of characters. The frames flow very well.

The Fairies look more like hamsters raised on too much Budweiser and fries. But anything as long as you're back...

The idea was from the first time Nick and I ran the Yeld role playing game, way back before I started Modest Medusa. One of the players announced that we'd be fighting Orcs, but they'd be small, like fairies. So we asked what fairies looked like, and she said they were big, like Orcs. I ran with that, although they didn't really look much like orcs either.

They're also mentioned as being called that in the physical book I think? Because I totally knew that after just reading the comic. Either that or they're mentioned in the Mermaid Hunters book.

It's in the Mermaid Hunters book. I guess it's probably in the notes in the Season 2 book somewhere.

I see. That explains why I knew that. XD I guess I'm just one of those weirdo's who happened to have that info. Or see the coloring book page for them.
