The Portrait: Part One by JasonTrue to the name, this began like a portrait: a beautiful and wondrous image that was full of both depth and an abundance of details. I was enthralled reading it, very entranced, but sometimes the description was a tad bit overwhelming and I had to reread some parts. It was, to me, like a still frame suddenly put in motion when the action began, though that wasn't bad in any manner, mind you. And then Mrs. Prynn died. I was astounded when I saw that: a death as clear as that in the NT is something I never would have imagined seeing, or reading, rather. Nevertheless, it was both touching and tasteful, not over-done, but done right. I'm not easily affected by deaths so early on in a piece, but here, the characters were so vividly defined already that it was hard not to be affected, not to be saddened, by this so skillfully-written death. The town scene was very informative, but nothing was "told," as things were rather beautifully instead "shown" through their dialogue. It also conjured a wonderful image Mrs. Prynn's manor and her life and of the town itself. Very clear, very vivid...very much like a portrait. The end implies heavily, I feel, that the fifth "individual" that had been in the room was the portrait, perhaps of Mrs. Prynn's daughter, who perhaps had been Elise. Still, that is only a possibility, and the possibilities here remain endless... I am left with many question, much intrigue, and a great eagerness for the next part. This was amazing, and I'm still amazed by every facet of it. Wow, thank you so much, Wolf! That was incredibly nice of you. ;D I'm very proud of Mrs. Prynn's death, too, as weird as that might sound. You'd be amazed at how many neomails I've gotten where people have incredulously asked just how I managed to slip a death into my series.  I'm very pleased by what you have picked up on.  You are very insightful indeed. Anyways, thanks again. |

Catching Up: Part Twelve by Fj0rdThe End. ...But I don't want it over. Fj0rd, this has been an amazing series. It has been quite possibly the best thing I've read in the NT. There was simply something about it, a smoothness to it, a great skill, that made it seem unlike anything else to me. And I loved all of it. This was amazing, Fj0rd, simply amazing. The conclusion wrapped things, certainly, giving hope for reconciliation even if the catching up itself didn't occur. But I wish it didn't end there. I honestly wish it could have gone on, and on, and on. Great job. Very great job. Thanks, Wolf. ^_^ ... um. I realize that size can be daunting, but if you have the time to spare I would really appreciate some more reviews for this series. |

Fallingby jambammer It’s the impossible to win argument. The most awesome  moment ever.
True Storyby kittygirl5170 *snerk* The repeated use of “True story” is hilarious. Smooth… I like how Blake just likes telling stories, and that he really doesn’t care if anyone believes them or not, as long as they like them.
My Little Home Wreckerby smudgeoffudge I’m going on a wild idea from the title… someone got a baby pet, didn’t they… I’m sick, I love stories about babies and destruction. The whole bit about taking babies out into public is absolutely right. *cringe* And the idea of a baby Tonu eating a whole wall of chocolate… The resulting sugar high will be epic, I’m sure. Very cute story, and I think BabySmacks has found a new best friend. 
Grubwitch!by rookina Awww…. The adorableness! Especially with that little hat. I have to ask, were the panels on the wall from something else? They don’t seem to be in the same style as the rest of the comic. I love how detailed the Mynci is, especially with those little anklet things. Snowbeast Snackrificeby scarvogue “And I will love him, and squeeze him, and call him George!”  Very cute, especially how the petpets are all pink. Shinyby tamia_silverwing The sunset... it’s hypnotic. Ohh… I’m not sure if it’s my monitor or not, but the font’s a little… fuzzy, and hard to read. Which I never remember being a problem in your comics before. The chef trying to walk on the beach is hilarious. The Gallion Ranchby pacmanite …he made the whole space station shake. It’s a good thing he doesn’t need air apparently. The Bunkerby hubadawaha I love how Phil needs to sit on books to be tall enough to eat at the table. Hee! Though why does the comic seem to need to continue down into the author’s note??? Our 7: Jeranby flowerchick81 The title makes me nervous. I’m with the Mynci on this one.

The Portrait: Part Oneby really_awesome_d00d Awww... poor Mrs. Prynn. I can think of quite a few reasons. I think pretty soon he’ll be able to think of some too. I love the reaction of those two kids with the portrait. ;D Dark Friend: Part Twoby petfriendamy Speaking of adjusting clothes for wings, how on earth do they adjust for tails? Poor Cindon, something tells me he’s going to get stuck in a bunch of stuff he’d really rather not get stuck in. And that princess is just creepy. Outsider Within: Web of Deceit - Part Threeby tashni Poor Barlow, I’ve had days like that. All he’s trying to do is make a living, and someone’s got to come muck with him. You know, you’d think that since he knows for a fact that she’s a Double Agent, he’d take that with a grain of salt. Revenge and Resistance: Part Fourby dan4884 “Sure I’ll tell you where the super secret headquarters are!” *headdesk* Love the fact that Garoo just walked out on Sloth. *snicker* Even the most loyal mutt must have his snapping point. Catching Up: Part Twelveby extreme_fj0rd Wow, chapter 12…. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to think of Faerieland having solid ground. Darigan Citadel, maybe, but not Faerieland. I do have a question, now that it’s over, do other species have Cloud Racers as well? It’s always Faerie Cloud Racers… Somehow I get the feeling the girls were still late for their next class.

I'll have some free time this weekend, Fj0rd, so we'll see what I can do.  |

I realize that size can be daunting, but if you have the time to spare I would really appreciate some more reviews for this series. I, for one, certainly recommend this to everyone, time regardless. It's an awesome series, and it could probably be read in only a couple hours if your a swift reader. And even if you have to break it up some...I'd still do it. |

Thank you! ^_^ Yes, I struggle with the blurry. >_<' I try my best to keep it as clean as I can, but they're always so long that I have to chop the resolution down to get them to a small enough file. I'm trying to write them to be shorter, though, so hopefully the next ones will be less bleh. I know nothing about image file sizing beyond logical sense, mind you, but wouldn't making the background white, simply with black borders around the frames, make the image smaller? Or does it not work logically? Yes, I think I actually did that on one of the ones I sent in. ;/ I can't remember which one, though; maybe #6? >_<' *rubs temples* Meh, anyway. Yeah, I fill in the black very last. Sure, it takes up file space, but it just adds to that "The Bunker" feel. They just don't look quite right to me with a white background. '_' |

The Bunker by HubadawahaFunny. I liked the artwork, but as Wolf said, it was a bit blurry. It was also fairly obvious that the spoon was a spoon; I don't think the caption was necessary. All in all, very good. Gracias. ^_^ Yes. The blurry. XP The whole spoon joke was actually a vague reference to something I once read about the artist of Dilbert and how he thinks he can't draw spoons. I wanted to see if anyone would catch that, but no one did, so poo. -_-' Oh well. ^_^ Personally, I think my spoons look like silver lollypops. The Bunkerby hubadawaha I love how Phil needs to sit on books to be tall enough to eat at the table. Hee! Though why does the comic seem to need to continue down into the author’s note??? Yes! XD Someone spotted the book joke! Bravo! The Bonus section at the bottom of every comic is kind of like a wrap-up, on-your-way-out joke. ^_^ Occasionally I'll explain something that happened in the actual comic, or what happened later on in an unseen part of the plot via the Bonus Secton. Other times, it's just a funny little doodle to add one last bit of comedy. It's sort of my signature, if you will. A part of my style of comic-making. PS~ Please forgive the lateness of my replies. I've been swamped lately. Xl |
