Chapter Twenty-Nine:
In Which Travis Is Having Trouble Adjusting

He touched his swelling eye and cursed. Boy, was he going to catch it when he finally got home. They'd ganged up on him this time, the ill-begotten snobs. Travis had lost fights before, but they'd always been against much more impressive opponents, not Imner Wendelbie and his stupid little friends. In Travis's defense, he'd always had a sword or two before. He wasn't much with his fists, and for the first time in a long while, he was painfully aware of how skinny and uncoordinated he was.

His only consolation was that Ayleigh had stopped crying at night. The walls in th

Chapter Twenty-Five:
In Which Travis Is Much Braver and Even Stupider

As Orah's body folded and shrunk into the form of a distressed toad, Travis felt a long resounding cry tear free of him, yet he made no sound. He snatched his sword off of the ground and advanced on the fairy godmother without a thought as to what an idiotic thing he was doing.

A blast of crackling energy caught him in his recently healed shoulder, knocking him back into a tree. Orah croaked in alarm, but he waved her off. He couldn't let anything else happen to her.

"Change her back!" he shouted, before he'd even gotten back to his feet.

"Tell me where Damien is!"

Chapter Twenty-One:
In Which Travis is Brave, i.e., Stupid

Seeing Damien roughing Tag around made Travis want to hit him, but there wasn't time for that now, and it looked as if he had a plan. Travis settled for subtly pulling Orah deeper into the protection of the alley, and was only a little surprised when she didn't step on his foot.

"What's it? What are you on about?" Tag certainly didn't seem to mind being jerked around like a little girl's doll, unless he was just being too polite to show it.

"The bag of devouring!" Damien said, nearly squeaking again. "It can eat the edicada, right?"

Travis nodded gleefully, almost giddy at th

Chapter Seventeen:
In Which Travis Tries to Redeem Himself And Learns Something

Head buzzing with the events of the previous day, Travis found it difficult to sleep. He was up sooner than the sun, thinking before his eyes were open. Something he had said or done had been stupid or wrong, but he couldn't understand what it was. Orah had said that she knew the King of No Reason, but even if that was true, which he was beginning to doubt, it didn't explain why she'd gotten so upset. The King of No Reason had been a deadly giant with nothing but material wealth surrounding him. His servants weren't even living creatures, but spirits made t

Chapter Thirteen:
In Which Travis Falls Differently

He watched in awe as the beautiful young lady sauntered to the campsite with all the regal airs of a princess. Her long red hair was coming loose of its braid, several locks of it were free already, gently brushing against her back as she walked. She was dressed in the coarse brown clothes of a holy healer, but if anyone had asked Travis, he would have said that a parade of duchesses in brocade finery wouldn't have looked half as breathtaking.

She plunked herself down gracefully next to the dying fire and struck up a conversation with Damien as though he were an equal. Travis decided t

Chapter Nine:
In Which Travis Gets a Thick Ear (But only Half Deserves It)

Although Travis had never consciously thought about it, Tag had never once struck him in earnest. He watched his elder's face now and slowly came to realize the fact in that one sidelong glance. If he had ever studied irony at all, he might have placed the word in this situation, now that the 'never' looked like it would soon be broken. Over something as trivial as a stupid hero, he couldn't help adding bitterly to himself. He wasn't sorry for drawing a sword on the hero—even though he'd said he wasn't one. Travis trusted few sources without question, the m

Chopstick doodle. the perspective is....wonky. I know. Does anyone have tips for me that DON'T include looking at a stupid bare mattress on the floor? Because I don't exactly have one handy.

Since I'm lazy, I'll probably just go with the wonky version and pretend I was going for the American McGee's Alice effect.

That wall clock needs to be sold at Wal-Mart. Somebody call somebody and make it so.

Well, I gave my verdict on this panel in "Rice Test".

~Kid-Apocalypse Jul 19, 2007

I saw. Thank you!

How about the slats on the floor, though? I still can't figure out how to make them look....well, not-like-the-wall.

*Hagge Jul 31, 2007 Professional General Artist

Oh, that...the short ends of the slats need to be drawn at more of an angle is all...but for the style you've begun there, it works out to your advantage either way.

~Kid-Apocalypse Jul 31, 2007

Thank you, I'll try to figure that out, even though American McGee is definitely one of my inspirations here....

~Mayaj Jul 16, 2007

Personally I don't think you should change anyrhing, this is gorgeous! But if you want - the trick to drawing something against a wall is to have the top half come out a little farther than the bottom.

~Kid-Apocalypse Jul 16, 2007

THANK you, that I can use in future.

! Lucky for my lazy ass, the American McGee excuse is handy and applicable.
