I am not evil. I am at worst one of the excellent damned.

Chapter 6, Page 23

The chapter’s coming to an end, so we’re wrapping up the three-way plot threads. It went all right, I think, but I won’t be splitting the narrative like that again for the forseeable future.

↓ Transcript
Jacob: This won't stop him. He's a Genocide Man.
Joey: Heh. Run a little more, mate. Put more people between us...help me rack up my body count.
Kevin: We'll treat your neurotoxin exposure first, Caera. Get you well. Then make you one of us.

    Is it just me, or are Jacob’s eyes getting bigger and bigger?

    But nice page. And I have no problem with splitted plot threads.

    I like the subtle separation of the three panel’s – it took me a bit of time to get it, but well done and nicely played.

  3. Remus Shepherd says:

    You’re right, the eyes are getting bigger. There’s been some artistic drift since the beginning of the comic. I like the bigger eyes, but thanks for reminding me to rein it in before they get ridiculous. 🙂

    Hello Remus! Your ad on someones’ comic blog sure is working.
    I’m recommending this comic to my friends at my SciFi forum in China. I wonder if you know the Chinese author Liu Cixin and his novella Demonic Building Blocks, the African protagonist in that story will give Fumiaki a run for his money in creating new species. Its climax is rather like the deviant wars, maybe you can let a friend who understand Chinese to translate it.
    Feel free to drop by at our site any time!

    PS: some small advices on Chinese in the comic:
    Tu-Ying is not a real surname.
    “Target sighted” should be 目标(target)发现(sighted). The two words back there meant “suspect subscribed”.

  5. Teslashark says:

    The eyes aren’t too big. I think some of the features are getting softer, show nicely on the oldtimers. Is it more effecient for you to draw this way?

    PS: Caera is going under something like Blonski’s transition in that hulk movie, it seems… Please keep her likeable and/or hard to kill.

  6. Remus Shepherd says:

    Thanks for the kind words, Teslashark! I have not read many Chinese authors, I’ll have to find a translation of Liu Cixin’s works.

    ‘Tu-Ying’ means ‘Condor’ in Chinese, if I have it correctly. Not a real surname, but I wanted to give her a hint of the animal theme. (Doe, Lamb, Kid, Pup, etc.)

    @Sonja. All the better to see you with my target.

    Hey there, found you through a banner yesterday, read your archive last night. This is a very nice comic. Nice balance of humor and cynicism. Please continue until its undoubtedly excellent conclusion 😉
    WMG: Fumiaki isn’t going to be at the end of this trail, its Dahnai, just as immortal as Tatsu thought.
