[SPOILER] Click here to see my commentary for this page! My comment for this page from Gaia: sic mundus creatus est: The cult is after Sandril and Dyson because they're now in possession of Arathor's sword Lightbringer. Eldor knows that it's one of the few things that can permanently destroy his body. Powree really outdid [...]

My comment for this page from Gaia: sic mundus creatus est: When writing the story for Gaia, I didn't think about anything as long and hard as I thought about what should happen to Ilias and Viviana in Greendew. For a long time, my plan [...]

My comment for this page from Gaia: sic mundus creatus est: A reader correctly guessed that I got the idea for this scene after playing Long Live the Queen. Don't let the cute graphics fool you. You'll die often and gruesomely in that game, which [...]

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 [...]

[SPOILER] Click here to see my commentary for this page! 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 [...]

[SPOILER] Click here to see my commentary for this page! My comment for this page from Gaia: sic mundus creatus est: Well, that sums up the situation. 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 [...]

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.
