I swear to god Varrok I'm gonna stick onomatopoeia in every single page from here on out just to see what kind of stupid jokes you make :P

Varrok 10-31-2016 11:04 AM

Actually-new page at long, long last! And oh hey it's that guy.

Varrok 11-13-2016 08:54 PM

So *now* it's "Splash"?

Oddey 11-14-2016 07:32 AM

I love that wide-eyed expression on Raider.

Vlam 11-14-2016 09:18 AM

Nice!

Sybil Ant 11-14-2016 02:01 PM

Great work FennecFyre, can't wait to see where this story is heading. :)

So I'm late with a new page again, and I'm not at all happy with the first panel, but hey at least I'm starting to figure out rain effects. Kind of 8I (And at least I've got an excuse for being late this time: finals stress, winter break, Subnautica, general laziness, etc.)

I'm sure I've mentioned it before somewhere, but I wondered where the severed fingers in Raider's hat came from since I saw them, and eventually started to headcanon that its Raider's own personal, grisly way of keeping order in his ranks. Any time someone tries to usurp him or otherwise challenge his authority as boss, and fails, he cuts off their trigger finger to add insult to injury and carries it around in his hatband like a nasty, dried-out medal. An outlaw that can't shoot a gun or throw a knife is gonna be an outlaw with a hard life.

I also debated whether or not Sekto would be able to speak without a host body, but having him mute until then just made things difficult script-wise, so here he can sort of hiss out words, though it takes a bit of effort.

Varrok 12-22-2016 01:33 AM

You haven't put enough effort in this one. I mean, it has 0 onomatopoeias

Nepsotic 12-22-2016 02:05 AM

fennec is good art ye

Oddey 12-22-2016 03:51 AM

Varrok, I can't posrep you enough for that.

I quite like the interpretation of the fingers being from Raider's own gang.

That and Sekto taken out his usual suave stride by Raider's arm-flailing makes me giggle.

kjjcarpenter 12-23-2016 12:32 AM

This is probably the most genuinely artistic thing to come out of the Fan Corner in sixteen years, except maybe A Fan Art.

Keep up the great work, FennecFyre! Do you have your own website/portfolio, besides DeviantArt?

What do you mean by... "maybe"?

AlexFili 12-23-2016 09:53 AM

This is really cool, good job for keeping this up. Your art style is great

Lord Vhazen 01-02-2017 02:13 AM

Wow.... I'm honestly speechless. The art style, the pacing and just the basic idea... This is fascinating!

FennecFyre 01-02-2017 12:31 PM

Thanks all!

Shakin' him like an evil squishy maraca.

I don't, no, but I do know I need to set one up eventually...

Henchman of the year.

I'm not too sure about the middle panels, so in case it doesn't make sense, Sekto is putting two and two together and realizing that the voice on the phone matches the voice of the steef that attacked his dam. Also, first time trying out Stranger's "growly" speech bubbles in the actual comic. Should I keep that look?

Oddey 01-05-2017 11:16 PM

I kinda like that growly speech bubble, but it's a bit subtle I think. Makes it look a bit too much like Sekto's squiggly and slithery speech.

Also, more Sekto being tossed around.

Nepsotic 01-06-2017 12:50 PM

The subtlety works for it, if it were spiky it'd look like he's shouting.

A sepia wash over those two panels would solve the problem, I think. Otherwise, the message is conveyed easily enough.

Keep them. Absolutely. Oddey said it best: They're reminiscent of Sekto himself.


I think you should definitely consider building a digital portfolio for yourself, Fennec. You have some great stuff, and you deserve your own corner of the internet to host them.

Are you considering an artistic career?

Nepsotic 01-06-2017 06:24 PM

She has one.

Aggregate websites aren't great for aspiring artists/professionals. I'd definitely recommend Fennec branching out from DeviantArt and forging her own portfolio, especially as her talent continues to grow.

That's just my opinion though. A professional URL to slap on a business card goes a long way, and it helps you stand out. :)

Regardless, the story is great, Fennec, and I'm looking forward to more!

Nepsotic 01-07-2017 02:27 AM

Students can't generally afford custom domains or the amount of money it takes to commission a website.

Sybil Ant 01-07-2017 03:01 AM

You can grab a domain on GoDaddy for £1.99, and just link it to a free website like Wordpress, who'll also host it for you for an exra £5 a year.

Also friggin great work on this comic, Fennec. AH LOVE EET.

Nepsotic 01-07-2017 09:35 AM

To be honest, I don't think it's worth it at this point. When she gains a larger following it definitely would be. I dunno. As a bedroom producer, the thought of having my own website to host music feels a little OTT for the moment. Maybe it is a good idea though, who knows.

True. I'll see if I can exaggerate Sekto's bubbles a little more to make them stand out, try to really show that creepy-ass voice of his.

I'd like to, yeah. Game art/storytelling would be my first choice for a field, so things like concept art or worldbuilding. I'd love to get to do something like that.

As for a digital portfolio, Nep does have a point, it might still be a bit too early to think about that. Right now I don't feel like my art really has much of a professional "polish" to it, and I'm not really confident putting anything out anywhere more official than dA.
