Description If you're following this series in order, click here next .

"Thanks! And come again!"

Note that the door to the wagon is several steps above the ground, and there is a small step-ladder there for access. Zirena is now standing below the step-ladder, her feet on the ground.

And, for those keeping track, at this point (Page17) in "Rats" Valerin was firmly in the gremlins' control, just prior to the stripping sequence [link] . At this point in "Plot," Avora was just beginning to feel the might of the tendrilinguis' endless vines/roots [link] . And in "Harvest," Deirdre was just about to embark on her ill-fated investigation of the cellars [link] . Length-wise, I believe "Vision Impaired" will be around 40 pages, so you can make your predictions about what's to come and when with that in mind...

The stock model for Zirena here is Adeline Debaire, also known as perditax31. Write her a note and tell her what a good job she has done on these reference photos I'm using, some of which are posted in her gallery.


Enjoy!

Thanks! Yes, that hand does look a bit claw like, although I was going more for "Toodleloo!" than "Scratch your eyes out, bitch." Ah well, I guess both of them work since she thinks the farmer is a real clod.

Yeah, this particular serie is quite slow, yet makes me become more and more curious. It is getting more serious, but less damsel in distress.

The damsel-in-distress portion will show up soon enough... And, considering that thus far in the 18 pages of this chapter we've seen 8 pages in which a bad guy (or plant, or ratman) is attacking or keeping a heroine bound, and we've switched in between three locations (dream, Undercellar, wagon), I'd say things are moving pretty quickly. You're right, though in that we have slowed down a bit here over these past couple of pages, and it will continue that way for a few more. I'm glad you're curious about it, though--the action should develop out of the storyline quite naturally, I think.

Wait..
" At this point in "Plot," Avora was just beginning to feel the might of the tendrilinguis' endless vines/roots [link] . And in "Harvest," Deirdre was just about to embark on her ill-fated investigation of the cellars [link] ."

Doesn't the plot in Fair Harvest story runs linear? I mean, Avora got captured first, and then Deirdre began her actions right?

Yes. My comment that you quoted was just to give the viewer a chance to see where each chapter is at around Page17, so they can consider the pacing of each of the different chapters. With the exception of the dreams and flashback images, the storyline IS linear, as you assumed.

I can't help but feel her mysterious/professional mien is about to nosedive like a brick with wings.

Otherwise I can't really think of anything to say about this one except: "Zirena pretty."

faile35 In reply to Yggi11 [2007-05-29 14:05:10 +0000 UTC]

"Zirena pretty" works for me, and you're obviously right about the other part, since she and Luther don't seem to like each other very much...

Aaack! I had a comment all written out for this and deviantART had to go into maintence right when I tried to post it! *fumes*

Okay, so here's an attempt to remember exactly what I said:

Luther looks like he's making grabby hands -- I hope he wasn't taught the same social skills as Jervil and believes that using the "booby-trap" is the proper way to greet an old female friend.

I'm really liking how her outfit has turned out looking in these pictures so far, my only "complaint" is that her corset laces are hard to see, and for this picture I had to strain to find them.

faile35 In reply to elle-chan [2007-05-29 14:06:48 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! I've tried to lighten and emphasize her corset strings a bit more because of this comment. And Luther does have somewhat of a soft heart for her, in that he won't resort to the whole "booby trap" scenario until after she proves that there's no other way to deal with her...

Well, I'm thinking that, while she is saying goodbye to Mr. Turnip Farmer, she is also aware of Luther approaching the wagon. So, her eyes would probably carry some of what you suggest. Thanks!

Brillant! I love her fingers in the wave. The look on her face is great.
Oooo what will Luther say to her? You mentioned they had history. I wonder if they are on good terms. She seems to be a very fierce woman.

faile35 In reply to pissiMissi [2007-05-29 14:10:00 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! Yes, they have a bit of a history. Are they on good terms? By now you've seen the next few pictures and know they aren't. However, I think I will try and write up a bit of their conversation on Pages 20 and 21 so people can be "in on it."

PitchBLACK-Art [2007-05-22 09:20:29 +0000 UTC]

It seems that this was the last "run of the mill" customer for some time.

Although the next one seems to be lurking just around the corner. I hope he is distinguished enough to announce his presence in a fashionable way instead of popping around the corner like a punch on a spring and give fair madame a heartattack like experience.

But if he is really intending about doing this Luther (if he really is the mysterious half hidden figure) has good chace to get clobbered down by a turnip swung by a combative fortune teller. From the her habit and look she certainly has the guts to do it.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

faile35 In reply to PitchBLACK-Art [2007-05-29 14:11:15 +0000 UTC]

Yup, you guessed this one pretty well. Luther believes that he doesn't need to announce his presence--thinking that she probably already knows he's coming. And, as seen on Page18, he's right.

Thanks!

Didn't think to mention this earlier, I can't do fabric, and I like your rendering of scarf-stuff coming off her wrist.
Also, a question-have you ever considered printing half of the saga early, and the second half later? I can see a lot of fanatics grabbing up the first half already. Me too, soon as I get Paypal......

faile35 In reply to youkaime [2007-05-29 14:14:01 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! And to answer your question: Yes, I have considered trying to print this in installments. Essentially, there will be three parts to it (like the old "Book One, Book Two, Book Three" trick so many novels pull these days. However, it is likely that not all of the images will take a full page, and until I know the overall length, I'm going to have to hold on that. Don't fret, though; I imagine that by December of 2007 I should be closing in on the third part, and I'll know a whole lot more about what to expect and pursue in the whole publishing regard.
