Issue 1009 – Fyora Day 👑

The council meeting room featured a long pink marble table. The walls were lined with small Faerieland shields. The chairs covered with soft seat cushions, and name tags at every spot. Fyora hovered over to the head of the table and took a seat. A few minutes passed and she stood up as councilmembers filed into the room…

The Floating Islanders - Faerie Fiasco by Themeguy

There is no worse consequence than extra paperwork xP Poor Fyora lol, they better hope none of the Faeries they freed snitch on them. And that Faerieland background is gorgeous, I appreciate the level of detail you went for with it, and the limited palette compliments it greatly! It looks like a cozy late afternoon set against the chaos happening in the foreground lol.

This may or may not have been intentional, but your design for the safety deposit box's interior reminds me a lot of this Spooky comic's portrayal of it, which I thought was pretty cool!

I am in love with Jhudora's face in Appropriate Quest Request, they could've given just that drawing and I'd still be happy.

I also really liked Fyora Hair Care, as it was simple in a way that accentuates the punchline, and the artwork is also really dang appealing!

Can confirm that the Spooky comic was the direct inspiration for the look of the SDB in this! Ever since I first saw that comic years ago, it's been how I've visualized what it looks like in there.

I'm glad that you liked the background, it was a lot of work trying to put it together between the perspective and color palette. Think there's a bit more I could've done with the colors/values to make certain things pop a bit more, since I feel like the faeries don't pop quite enough against it. The sky and water at the top of the big faerieland shot is probably my favorite bit of the whole comic visually.

Nice, yeah I can totally get that! I feel like a lot of my headcanons of Neopia and how it looks is influenced by fellow comics as well haha.

Yeah I can imagine it'd be a lot of work, the effort shows! The perspective works well imo, since as you scroll down and slowly watch the panel devolve into madness, starting with peaceful sunlight over a waterfall before eventually panning to the crowd of faeries lol. And limited palettes can be deceptively tricky to work with I've found, forces you to be even more deliberate with color choices. Also doesn't help that color is not my strong suit in general lol, so I tend to struggle no matter what. But I like how the majority of your comic is purple with some pink accents as it feels easier on the eyes that way, and readability overall I think is still good! There's always something more to learn or practice, so I think you're doing well with the experimenting!
