“Just like me.”
Shading: Oniontrain & Koof
All right, looks like everything’s up and working! I’ve been sitting on this site redesign too long, and just needed a couple days to get everything remade. And in a strange bit of good (?) timing, my Wacom tablet died a few days ago, which I assumed was the universe’s way of telling me to get off my ass and update the site already. Thankfully Wacom made a speedy repair and delivery back, so I’ve already sketched up the first few panels of the next OOPs page.
And a special shoutout to Xandispin, who first suggested a site update several months ago, then set up this snazzy new WordPress layout for me to customize (which I then sat on until this past week). Thanks man; it took me long enough to get around to it, but without you the site would still be looking like something from the early 2000’s!
Seriously, I was manually creating pages and re-entering every altered link when there was a new page, using a long-defunct version of Dreamweaver 2001. That gets tiring real quick.
Anyway! There’s some new stuff in the Art & Extras section now as well, which you might not have seen if you don’t frequent Deviantart and such.
Well golly, are we ever going to learn the truth, or is it being a big question the only revelation?
Damnit, you tease!
Also what exactly do people associate with the word “elf” in this world?
Also also Kalkgur is kinda talking like Fawful from the Mario & Luigi series.
MY UNDERSTANDING EXPANDS WITH SUDDENNESS!
The realization that you’re completely right has made my understanding of what makes Fawful’s speech patterns so unique expand in whole new directions
If shit goes down in the future and Kalgur does not yell, “I HAVE FURY!” then I will be sorely upset.
For the truth to be “painfully ugly” suggests her other half is some unwelcome race. Under traditional fantasy races, this could be Dark Elves, Oni, or Demons; while in some settings they’re very welcome, they were originally written as races that did not get along with, or perhaps were even enemies of humans.
I rather didn’t expect to hear about there being more traditional races included, but even so, there’s plenty of other potential races that could be custom, so we’re still left in the dark.
Yyyyyeaaaah I think this throws out the half-baxxid theory out the window.it can’t be THAT bad to admit being half-baxxid, so it must be much worse.
I’m still at least keeping the “related to baxxid” theory in tact… maybe it’s a split in the evolution of baxxids, both biological and cultural, that makes them monsters in every sense of the word.
Could be some form of foreign breed, too. The Baxxid of Valsalia get along with humans, but hate the idea of Baxxid who don’t, which may still be a thing outside of Valsalia.
Still, very likely to be something else entirely now.
Poor Isher, only making it harder for herself.
Ah yes, Yinglet, Baaxid, Indrel, and “Mountain Elf”. All of these names are equally unique and distinctive, and surely none of them are a convenient deflection.
Jokes aside, I wonder what her race actually is for Isher to be so scared of telling anyone. I have to imagine they have a bad reputation, and if they’re not the type to interact with the outside world often, then I can only imagine they’re treated like some mythical boogeyman used to scare children. My girl Isher is already having a hard enough time without that kind of baggage, show some mercy!
