Oh dear... well, at least there's a flicker of hope, Loorin at least has gotten the sprill to listen to him in some ways! Maybe he's got some more tricks ready....

I know I've said it before, but I love your crosshatching and other details here! It really does look like a storybook, the kind you'd pour over again and again as a kid, looking over every inch of the pictures.

Yeah, at least he's got it in a dialogue.  He's a smart little guy.  But the question is 'is he smart enough'?

Aw!  Thanks!  most of my sketchbook is pen and ink.  This story takes up most of it so far.  
I hope to somehow have some printed versions of this for sale when it's all done.

You're very welcome! How do you scan your sketchbook, by the way? I've had two so far, but they always cast such shadows on the image (which I have to erase manually later)--turning the tone of the white paper grayer in some areas (especially those closer to the spine) than others, if that makes sense. That's why I usually use plain printer paper in a folder for my sketches instead. Do you remove the pages from your sketchbook to scan them, or do you manage some other way?

Mine is in bound book form. I actually use my hand to push it down as it scans. But I still have to digitally erase shadows on the edge sometimes too.

Yeah, that's how I usually handle it too (though I use loose-leaf paper more often because of that).

This looks so awesome~ I love the Sprill Hope Loorin doesn't become lunch now, though!

Thank you! I'm glad you like him! He's a pretty scary critter.

They can take me ashioe sometimes. I usually draw in that book when I'm in a waiting room or in the car or something. It gives me something to do. So I never know when exactly I'll complete the next one.

That's okay, just take your time! I can see you're really busy pumpin' out artworks anyway.

Uh oh. This guy is smarter then we thought. I hope Loorin has a plan B.
I'm loving this story by the way.

Unfortunately that is so.
Hopefully. He better have another plan.

WOW, THAT THING'S HUGE! This really shows how tiny Loorin is compared to the Sprill.

Aw, man!... So much for the 'dumb sprill' theory. They're smarter then we thought. Keep trying Loorin!

chill13 In reply to John-AM [2016-04-26 00:26:01 +0000 UTC]

It certainly isn't the smartest creature on the planet but it's not completely stupid either..much to Loorin's disappointment.

John-AM In reply to chill13 [2016-04-26 03:19:20 +0000 UTC]

For sure. This makes me wonder how the real-life version of the sprill compares to this, and the Jssfloon deal with them in modern times.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

chill13 In reply to John-AM [2016-04-26 03:27:25 +0000 UTC]

It's probably half this size. Plenty large enough to eat a Jssfloon, though and incredibly dangerous. Now they have technology that keep them in certain areas.

John-AM In reply to chill13 [2016-04-26 04:55:14 +0000 UTC]

Let's hope nothing like Jurassic Park happens. I'm sure their tech is better then that now, but maybe back in the day...

chill13 In reply to John-AM [2016-04-26 14:25:07 +0000 UTC]

Yeah.....that would be bad. Especially since they have all those tourists.

John-AM In reply to chill13 [2016-04-26 23:08:17 +0000 UTC]

It's be scary for sure. Do you think Jssfloon had any worse creatures in it's prehistory?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

chill13 In reply to John-AM [2016-04-26 23:19:48 +0000 UTC]

Well, there are certainly larger and more vicious ones. But the Sprill is the only one that is amphibious like the Jssfloon. From other predators they can either hide in the water or the land. So yeah, this guy is about as scary as it gets for them.

Eesh.. What's their natural prey items in the wild? Jssfloon-sized animals?

I can just imagine an attack on a herd of them. Do sprill[s] hunt alone?

chill13 In reply to John-AM [2016-04-29 02:11:42 +0000 UTC]

Yes. They are solitary hunters.

John-AM In reply to chill13 [2016-05-03 22:16:00 +0000 UTC]

Maybe you mentioned this already, but where are sprills commonly found? Just the northern part where Loorin is?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

chill13 In reply to John-AM [2016-05-03 23:59:11 +0000 UTC]

They were mostly in the cold northern regions.  But they were occasionally found in the more tropical areas.

'Were'? So has their range changed sense Loorin's day?

chill13 In reply to John-AM [2016-05-04 00:36:42 +0000 UTC]

Most dangerous predators have been confined to certain areas to keep the Jssfloon and the tourists safe.

I think if there were predators like that in the region, I'd want to carry a rocket launcher.

I'm thinking the fairy tales somewhat exaggerate their size.

Rebel-Rider In reply to chill13 [2016-04-26 01:37:57 +0000 UTC]

Probably. I'd think if predators like that were common, the Jssfloon would be a bit more like the Lazakal. (Lazakal are borderline pacifists and also gun nuts who love hunting.)

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

chill13 In reply to Rebel-Rider [2016-04-26 03:16:40 +0000 UTC]

That is probably true. Although, they don't eat much red meat so their hunting would end up being mostly to rid them of danger.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Rebel-Rider In reply to chill13 [2016-04-26 03:59:38 +0000 UTC]

Probably. Lazakal eat pretty much any sort of meat. They can eat plant based food, but their main diet is meat, partially because of the planet they live on being so harsh. 
Then again, is a sprill red meat?
