Chapter 7: Page 7 - Lily’s Day

Posted by / in Comic / 31 comments

Ok, new page! Still a little off on time zones, so sorry a bit later than usual.

Also, may I just say, good job all of you on behaving well in the comments while I was busy/gone :) Especially to those of you having long, awesome, convoluted discussions on who would win, Deathbots or Daleks ;)

And also, please vote! New month, and with a bit of effort we can storm the Top 100 again :D

  • :SCREECHING FOREVER:

    • TheAlmightyOS

      If that translates to “OMG the little girl is so adorable!” then I am going to have to agree.

      • Pay no attention to Jennifer and her personal head canon and fan theories ;)

    • Matt [in Middletown]

      *infinite eeeeing*?

    • NickDA

      Hahaha… now you can draw again! This removes your artistic block :D

    • Matt [in Middletown]
  • Honza Prchal

    She’s smiling a whole lot for a kid with trauma issues. Helping to save Tanzin must really have given her a strong sense of control.

    • Or she’s just smiling thru the pain ;)

      Either way, probably better than Tenzin is handling his problems ;)

      • Matt [in Middletown]

        The guy in the wheelchair looks an awful lot like Viktor in profile and shape.

        • Does he? That’s weird.

          • Matt [in Middletown]

            Yes, he does.
            That is weird.
            Probably just our imagination.

          • Adriano

            Yeah, probably… Probably… *looks suspiciously to Dan*

      • Honza Prchal

        Her trauma seems to have been worse, but more concentrated, and less literal when it comes to her person, so I suppose that makes sense. And in reply to Matt [in Middletown], it’s runnin’ away with you …. sorry - just quoting song lyrics that show my age.

        • I see Lily as the strongest character so far.

          Btw, its been several weeks from Arkjut.

        Bluto, animal house

      • Xylas Incarnum

        Anyone want to place bets that Alcohol is part of Tenzin “solving” his problems?
        … or is that just one of those battle hardened veteran soldier stereotypes?

        • If you remember is nightmare/flashbacks, it definitely at least used to be his primary problem solving method ;)

  • Matt [in Middletown]

    Only another week.
    Hmm.

  • Pemigewasset ex pat

    “… Predicting only another week before the invaders are here.”
    Well that’s not ominous. Makes me wonder if there’s been any interdiction missions, any harassing raids or holding actions.
    Have the good guys been spending the time getting stomped, or are they husbanding their strength for a defense at the gates, fighting to the last ditch?

    • Great questions, to be answered shortly. Well, shortly in terms of number of pages from now, at least.

  • Dang, Lily, that’s straight-up scary. For her age, though, her art’s not half-bad. She draws better mech suits than I do.

    • I forgot to give credit to the artist! Seba’s son drew that for us, to give it the authentic child drawing quality ;)

      • Talent runs in the family, it seems. As simple as the art is, the page has some pretty good composition. The poses of Tenzin and the Deathbot make the page very balanced, especially the way their arms make the eye travel around the whole page. It’s not often I see little kids draw something and not put it straight on the middle of the page. Either Seba gave him some pointers, or the kid’s got a good eye for dynamics.

        • I’ll forward him the good critic :D

          I told him what would Lily draw, in this case I think I said something as Tenzin fighting the Deathbot.

      • Matt [in Middletown]

        “Under my tutelage he will grow evil and strong, then one day when I am old and weak he will strike me down and take my place as Dark Lord!”
        *Everyone looks at Seb as he does the Vader ‘Force Choke’ hand gesture, cue evil laugh*
        / kidding

  • Rhynerd

    Well, looks like Matt and Chris won the bet… technically…

  • Mark Linimon

    Demon Archives in the top 100, Bird Boy in the top 200, Requiem hovering just below top 500 … yep, looks like Mark’s back in town.

  • Adriano

    OMG she’s totally drawing TDA comic !

  • Neil Kapit

    Lily and Seba Jr. both have careers in the arts ahead of them. Unfortunately, Lily might not survive to see it.

  • theRoUS

    She was using a green marker in one panel, but what did she use it on?

    • If you look on this and previous pages, she had a whole STACK of drawings underneath this one :)

      She probably ran out of red really early on though ;)
