[SPOILER] Click here to see my commentary for this page! My comment for this page from Gaia: sic mundus creatus est: Showing a metropolis from far away is always tough in a comic since a realistic depiction would require countless hours of mind-numbing work. Working so long on a single page isn't an efficient use [...]

[SPOILER] Click here to see my commentary for this page! My comment for this page from Gaia: sic mundus creatus est: Faye is sending Lilith's parents the latest news about their daughter. The letter probably contains nothing that the readers don't know already.

[SPOILER] Click here to see my commentary for this page! My comment for this page from Gaia: sic mundus creatus est: If Lilith hadn't left Oakdale on her own accord, Eldor would have intervened. It was time for her to leave Oakdale and get a proper education in magic. I've always believed that the two [...]

[SPOILER] Click here to see my commentary for this page! My comment for this page from Gaia: sic mundus creatus est: Dyson would be the perfect boyfriend for Larisa from Sandra and Woo. My characters seem to have a thing for fire, even though I personally feel rather indifferent towards it. Strange...

My comment for this page from Gaia: sic mundus creatus est: This was the first page that showed Viviana in a state of serious self-doubt. At this point, it was important to show that she's not some kind of prodigy who's always successful at first try. The difficult task of opening the safe was the [...]

My comment for this page from Gaia: sic mundus creatus est: Gaia isn't a comedy by any means, but it's good idea to add a bit of humor to a serious story once in a while so it doesn't become overly bleak and dire.

For those who haven't noticed yet: I have published a new Sandra and Woo comic about UFOs. Here's the whole article below the comic: - UFO footage feat. a Boeing 777, presumably from a General Atomics MQ-1C Grey Eagle drone (Video on Archive.org): UFO footage feat. a Boeing 777, presumably from a NROL-22 spy satellite [...]

My comment for this page from Gaia: sic mundus creatus est: Like the crazy prophet appearing in The Tower in the Sky #32, the enervating tailor was one of my favorite parts of the original story. So I just had to include him even though he doesn't really contribute anything to the overall plot. Like [...]

My comment for this page from Gaia: sic mundus creatus est: The party quest for the original mod was mostly written by my mother. While the course of action didn't change much, all dialog lines had to be rewritten since the original ones were way too wordy.

My comment for this page from Gaia: sic mundus creatus est: Fortunately, plan B wasn't necessary. I'm probably just as glad as Alissa since I have no idea what it could have been.

My comment for this page from Gaia: sic mundus creatus est: This is one of the largest word bubbles" I've ever seen in a comic. I put most of the burden on Powree here since I gave her a rather generic description for the bubble's content. It depicts the structured chaos inside the head of [...]

My comment for this page from Gaia: sic mundus creatus est: The names of the theater and the play are a reference to Final Fantasy IX. Zidane, the game's main character, is a member of the Tantalus theater group which performs a play called I Want to Be Your Canary. Oh, and he's also a [...]

My comment for this page from Gaia: sic mundus creatus est: At this point, Viviana has already developed feelings for Ilias, but she isn't able to come up with the right words.

My comment for this page from Gaia: sic mundus creatus est: I don't know about you, but I'm starting to get the impression that Ilias' lie about the Shadowdancers kidnapping people really pissed off Viviana...

My comment for this page from Gaia: sic mundus creatus est: Little details like characters who forget the names of people they've just met add to the realism of the world. It's more a subconscious thing, but if a story is devoid of any such details, it will feel off" after some time.

My comment for this page from Gaia: sic mundus creatus est: Regarding the deactivated alarm, the question is not How?", the question is When?" And the answer to that question is: Before this scene took place!"

My comment for this page from Gaia: sic mundus creatus est: Viviana will eventually utter these words in The Last Queen of Gaia #65 before giving Lilith the Avaril. I hid the word(s) after Come" to give me some leeway on the exact phrasing of Viviana's sentence.
