[SPOILER] Click here to see my commentary for this page! My comment for this page from Gaia: sic mundus creatus est: Some readers made wild guesses what Viviana may have found. Of course, nobody got it right. I think the humorous episode in the tavern was a necessary change of pace after dozens of serious [...]

[SPOILER] Click here to see my commentary for this page! My comment for this page from Gaia: sic mundus creatus est: The flow of the facial expressions in the last two panels is just perfect, starting with Viviana's optimistic smile over Joril's sly grin to Viviana's disgruntled frown.

[SPOILER] Click here to see my commentary for this page! My comment for this page from Gaia: sic mundus creatus est: The wall around the Great Tree plays a role in Eldor's soul extraction spell as seen in page #172. Without controlling King Olrik, Eldor would have struggled immensely to pull off this crucial part [...]

My comment for this page from Gaia: sic mundus creatus est: Eldor presented the painting to show Viviana & Co. that he's not only in control of the Shadowkeep (aka Crystal Fortress), but of the whole situation. He revels in the feeling of superiority.

[SPOILER] Click here to see my commentary for this page! My comment for this page from Gaia: sic mundus creatus est: Eldor made sure that Olrik held his speech before Savos since he wasn't sure about the consequences of humiliating Savos that way. Eldor prefers his enemies weak, but not crushed, since that could make [...]

There are three strong swear words in the whole of Gaia as far as I remember. Ryn's Oh, shit!" inBreaking All Barriers #160, San's Shit" inThe Way Back [...]

[SPOILER] Click here to see my commentary for this page! My comment for this page from Gaia: sic mundus creatus est: I wonder how intensely Powree cursed me when I gave her time-consuming tasks such as drawing a densely packed crowd. I guess that an artist without intense self-discipline would avoid drawing such scenes if [...]

[SPOILER] Click here to see my commentary for this page! My comment for this page from Gaia: sic mundus creatus est: Greendew has more draconic creatures than most other cities outside of Santhilia, so I occasionally reminded Powree to draw some of them in the background instead of humans.

[SPOILER] Click here to see my commentary for this page! My comment for this page from Gaia: sic mundus creatus est: It's a good idea to show occasionally that creatures with the ability of flight can't just simply fly over any obstacle.

[SPOILER] Click here to see my commentary for this page! My comment for this page from Gaia: sic mundus creatus est: The waitress looks too similar to Viviana. But then again, in real life, people with similar facial structures also tend to get similar hair styles. I had the same smile on my face as [...]

[SPOILER] Click here to see my commentary for this page! My comment for this page from Gaia: sic mundus creatus est: Looking back, I probably didn't make it clear enough that the museum director wasn't cooperating and that Sandril and Dyson forced him to get the sword.

[SPOILER] Click here to see my commentary for this page! My comment for this page from Gaia: sic mundus creatus est: We needed a record number of six sketches before the first panel looked right. I felt bad for Powree that she had to draw so many variants, but the perspective just didn't work in [...]
