Gaia

There will be only one update next week. I need more time to work on the script for the rest of the chapter.

Sorry for posting the new page a day late.

Viviana: Oh crap!

Viviana: Where’s Alissa?! Alissa: Help! Alissa: Hhhf!

Viviana: Uh oh… Ilias: Ahhh! Lilith: Gotcha!

Ryn: I can’t see anything. Lilith: The waves in the Bluestream create strange patterns, but I’ve already seen similar ones in the Forbidden Corridor. San: It’s all quiet back here! Ilias: Let’s move on. But slowly! Viviana: Wait!

Lilith: We… need to move on! Ryn: There’s daylight ahead! Just a kilometer or two and we’re out! Alissa: Hmm… Alissa: Guys, wait a second! I have a strange feeling. As if there was something wrong with this cave. Ilias: Yes, it’s true. I’m feeling it too! Ryn: A trap?! Alissa: Likely. Ilias: Do you […]

Sorry, for posting this page a day late. I have to say that not much happening in it anyway, but it’s needed to set up the action starting in the next page. Ilias: What makes you think that? It just looks like a crystal cave to me. San: All three adventurers who claimed to have […]

Viviana: Oof. Viviana: Why are you doing this?! I thought we were friends! Best friends! Lilith: Just look around, Vivi. Viviana: What do you–? Ohh… Viviana: You sneaky little witch! Lilith: Magic is my passion, deceit my weapon. Ryn: Where are we? Lilith: I’m not sure… San: This must be Vis. San: The gateway to […]

Lilith: I don’t see why the portal shouldn’t work for you. Viviana: Then why did I run into the wall? Lilith: Well, your mind has to accept that the wall is only an illusion. Did you hesitate when walking through it? Viviana: Maybe a little… Lilith: You have to clear your mind, Vivi! Viviana: I […]

Lilith: Like what? Alissa: We can’t simply walk through walls like you can! Lilith: This is not a real wall. It’s more like a portal. Alissa: Ah, okay. Viviana: Can’t wait to see what’s on the other side. Viviana: Owww… Lilith: What are you waiting for, Vivi? Viviana: The portal doesn’t work for me!

Viviana: A blueshift? Lilith: Just like when Eldor hid Dyson in that cave near Oakdale. What you can see of the corridor from the outside is just an illusion. Alissa: You said it’s completely safe here…?! Lilith: These poor souls unfortunately didn’t recognize the exit. Lilith: I didn’t go much further, though. So I don’t […]

Lilith: The area behind the door is completely safe. Is everybody ready? Alissa: Where is San? Ilias: Are you okay? San de Vertis: I don’t want to lie… Lilith: Ilias, Vivi, give San a little support until she’s well again. Ilias: All right. Lilith: Let’s go. There’s no time to lose. Viviana: What is this? […]

Alissa: Ten minutes are almost up. Should we open the door now? Viviana: No! I’m not ready yet! Viviana: Lili! Viviana: How did you– Hey, what are you doing?! Lilith: We’ll travel light. Lilith: We’ll only take our weapons and a few wands with protection spells. Anything else would only slow us down. Lilith: That’s […]

I have started a production diary where I will occasionally post updates about the comic anthology The Complete Gaia. It will contain the whole comic, the best artwork and other goodies. It will likely be published as part of a Kickstarter campaign once the end of the comic is in sight. Here is an early […]

Lilith: I just cast a protection spell that prevents anyone else from entering the Forbidden Corridor. Ryn: Was that really necessary? Lilith: I need to know what’s in there. Follow me in ten minutes or so. Viviana: You want to go in there alone?! This is mad– Hey, are you even listening?! Viviana: Lili! Ryn: […]

Lilith: Don’t even think about setting a foot into that corridor! Lilith: I can see the worldlines fading! You’d doom us all, the entire planet! Ryn: Lili! Lilith: Come along! Malva: All right, all right… Lilith: Aolilatse, take Malva back to Greendew! Aolilatse: Your Majesty? Viviana: … Do it!

Sorry for the missing update, but the internet on my PC currently doesn’t work.

Lilith: How could I ever have the power to change fate? <tube> Is this all Bhaal’s doing? Is everything predestined? Ilias: Let’s not paint such a bleak picture. Ilias: There’s another thing I’d like to know, though. How did the extraction of your soul give you the power to see into the future? Lilith: Since […]

Here is a diagram that shows how often the main and supporting characters of Gaia appeared in each year. Note that there were only 28 pages in 2011. You can click on the images for larger versions. Number of new pages per year: 2011: 28 (incl. 1 cover) 2012: 96 (incl. 1 cover) 2013: 86 […]

Ilias: “Kill”… I still don’t know what you meant by that. Lilith: It’s the word you’ve been looking for. Ilias: Yes, but in what context? When did I look for that word? Lilith: This I cannot say. I only know the answer, not the question. Lilith: Everything is connected. Cause and effect are no longer […]

General: In the last few days, we’ve created this model of the Forbidden Corridor. Viviana: Excellent! Ryn: What can you tell us about this section of the stronghold? Ilias: I have the dim feeling that all this preparation will be completely useless. Lilith: You’ve always been a clever guy. Lilith: Past, present, future. It’s hard […]

Ilias: Did you put the wands in the bag? Ryn: Yup! Viviana: I never thought I’d be riding a dragon one day. Aolilatse: A privilege reserved for the greatest heroes among men! Aolilatse: Of which you’re undoubtedly the greatest, Your Majesty! Viviana: You old charmer, you! Viviana: Let’s go!

Now that the end of Gaia is in sight, it’s time for the last “Ask Novil questions about Gaia” post. Here are the previous editions: [1], [2], [3], [4]. A lot of open questions have been answered in the last 100 published pages, but I’m sure some of you still have questions about the plot […]

Move the mouse pointer over the cover page, or tap it on mobile devices, to see a nice effect!

Viviana: Well, let’s pack for tomorrow.

Soooo pretty colors! Please also check out the previous page again which we improved two times with prettier effects.

The next Gaia pages will take more time to create since they will have lots of visual effects in them. That means updates will become irregular in the next weeks. But at least one new page per week will be posted.
