I just realized that I forgot to finish BB's shoes in the first panel, AND I got the white and blue parts of Cyborg's arm flipped around. Speaking of Cyborg, he used to be in that big bottom panel, but his position and the perspective made it look really awkward, so I erased him and never sketched him back in. I still love you, Cy!

I feel like I should point out my obvious mistakes (as I've said before), lest I fail you as an artist. ^-^;;

I decided to divide the chapter into three parts. So...This is the end of part one of chapter one!! Wow...I still have a long way to go...

Now that the first big battle scene has come and gone, we will finally get a chance to sit back, relax, and watch some character drama play out. I haven't had much time to establish or toy with any of the characters' relationships/emotions before the fight with Gypsum broke out, so now you can definitely look forward to some of that. And though this comic is strongly Jericho/Raven oriented, I AM going to be exploring the relationships between other characters (romantic or otherwise**) such as Cyborg and Rose, Beast Boy/Terra, Robin and Joe, Joe and Rose, Raven and BB, Robin/Starfire, BB and Jericho, etc. So don't be bummed if you're not a Rae/Joe fan; I'm sure you'll see your fair share of "moments" in at least one pairing or friendship you support.

**and not all "moments" are conducive to romance. For goodness' sake, people! Can't characters develop a bond of friendship and NOT be romantically intimate??

Is it just me or is Beast Boy always hovering around Rose?

"Can't characters develop a bond of friendship and NOT be romantically intimate??"

I often ask the fan-world the very same question.

Nimfalas In reply to RavensHiddenSoul [2010-04-08 15:30:54 +0000 UTC]

For some odd reason, yes. Yes he is.

Although he initially gravitated toward her (being somewhat kindred goofy spirits), some tensions between BB and Rose are starting to arise (namely because BB feels like she's replacing Terra and hates that she's distracting the others from discovering the truth about Gypsum. Which is partially purposeful on Rose's part). Because of that, goofy little Rose will end up being very close to Cyborg, not BB.

I often ask the real world that question too. No response yet.

I think your fabcomic is turning me into a Jericho/Raven shipper. So far these are the couplings I ship in the Teen Titans comics.

Robin(dick)/Raven
Kid Flash(wally)/Raven
Beast Boy/Raven
Speedy(roy)/Raven
Red X/Raven
Goth Boy/Raven
Jericho/Raven xD
Kid Flash(bart)/Ravager(rose)
Kid Devil/Ravager(rose)
Robin(tim)/Ravager(rose)
Blue Beetle(jaymie)/Ravager(rose)

Those with the hearts are my favorites! xD

WOW, that's a lot of pairings! By the end of this, I hope you'll put a heart at the end of that Jericho/Raven section of the list.

I also support KF/Rose maay-jorly, but as for Raven...I prefer her with Jericho singly. Guess we can't agree on everything!

uchiha-hinata In reply to Nimfalas [2009-03-22 21:17:25 +0000 UTC]

I know that's a lot of pairings. xD If I had to choose just one. I'd pick Wally/Raven. I'm actually working on this awesome fanfic about them having a family. I set it in the DC Multiverse. So the story would actually flow in with the actual comics. I think this story I did is one of my best creations ever!

While I'm not a Rae/Joe fan, I am enjoying the way you're developing their relationship. Looking forward to more!

Dead markers are a tragedy, but I got a 24 pack of prismacolors for Christmas, so I'm pretty stoked.

Well I'm glad that you still like my comic, even though you're not a Joe/Rae shipper. Hopefully it lives up to your expectations!

Jormand [2008-12-26 22:35:58 +0000 UTC]

I have to say I love the first panel, the expressions and positions of everyone look wonderful, and the no-background only pushes those out to the forefront.

I am a bit curious though on ASL though, is there a motion for slade? You seem to know more of it than I do, so I'll assume there is, but I can't help but think Jericho signing the letter S would have been just as profound.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Nimfalas In reply to Jormand [2008-12-27 02:16:31 +0000 UTC]

Aw, thank you!

My ASL source is the ASL Browser (I should start crediting them, because I use it a LOT!), which is extremely comprehensive and even includes video files of each sign being performed. In this case, Jericho actually is signing "S". Names don't have specific signs (though there are ways of forming simpler signs to stand for individuals' names), so Joey is just spelling out "Slade".

Totally with you on the "friendship, not romance" thing!! Why does everything have to be romantic, hmm? If it was like that in real life, I'd have like 6 boyfriends all at once, not to mention a whole lot of girlfriends.
