There's a lot going on in my comic this time, so I feel like discussing it in more detail. Dinner with the Scarlets: Call to Action by june_scarlet www.neopets.com/ntimes/index.phtml?section=592723&issue=1012Panel 1: Jane is the first Scarlet, so I thought it was appropriate to start with her. Panel 2: Both Storm and Storyweaver are Grey, though it's hard to tell with Storm because she was Shadow to begin with. This also establishes a long-planned friendship between the two. They were friends in their youth in Meirdell, but were separated. I had planned a series where they meet each other once again and rekindle their friendship. However, I never did write that series, and with this comic I've now established their friendship as current. Panel 3: Wanmei spots the void! I love that "Void within my heart" pun. Panel 4: It's Saskori leaving the Haunted Woods to join in! Maybe! I struggled a bit with who to put here, and ended up with Saskori. Not sure how that messes up her timeline, though. I guess don't think about it too hard. Panel 5: Dorothy has had a long-standing one-sided feud with Yibit for a very long time. Well, Dorothy has finally matured, and is asking for Yibit's forgiveness. I wanted this to be an epic comic that moved forward some storylines, and this is one such way I did so. Panel 6: Unleash the Scarlets! A fun way to tie together the whole comic, though I am curious how it came across to people. Kengplant had mentioned they weren't expecting that ending, which makes me curious what they were expecting instead. That's a bit of behind the scenes commentary on this comic for you! |

Oh my goodness I think I completely missed reading this NT, I don't remember any of these! Sorry for the delay in reacting to them then lol
Ooh, thanks for the extra detail alongside the comic, I always love reading a creator's thought process behind their work!
I didn't even think of that with Jane, that's a clever detail to add her first! And I think the context of the panel with Storm and Storyweaver conveys that they're both grey well enough, considering they've got the depressed demeanor to them alongside the coloring. I didn't have any trouble understanding what was being conveyed in that panel. That's sweet to see Dorothy make up with Yibit, big changes in Neopia call for big changes within ourselves as well! And that final line about needing a bigger table is perfect, love the reference xD
For the ending, I don't think I had anything specific in mind, although it does lead me to think that there'll be a sequel that shows we everyone fully together to help fight against the void. Alongside the smaller details establishing the characters' current relationships, this comic is one big build up to a family reunion, so to me this feels like a cliffhanger ending that leaves you waiting to see the team up.
Ice_Rocket is me whenever I go down my little colorblindness research rabbit hole lol. Because it's related to my own comics and thus a topic I have some emotional attachment to now, I quite enjoyed the concept of this comic and the little facts presented in it haha, and it also serves as a nice reminder to myself to keep colorblindness terms straight! And that final punchline made me really laugh, I was not anticipating it and it is the perfect pun xD

With how much time Ice spends on Terror Mountain, I very much think that the reason he does know so much about it is because he knows Zath and so did some research about it. |
