Description Pfew. This was a super hard page to draw. I would have loved to show the actual cutting of Javill's hair, or his 0.0" reaction, but I had to wrap up the scene in this page...
8 Panels is already quite a lot and I changed all of them at least trice. Aaaah!

Before you ask: YES cutting hair is a very big deal for Alar, I will get back to that in the comic.

Well I managed somehow, and I hope that what happens in the page makes sense . I already mentioned it briefly, but this is the last page of this particular scene.
Next week we'll see more of Neburas and his pack, where they will pay "his bird" a visit.

In the fifth panel, the other guys face and hand look disfigured a little.
Wasn't sure if you knew, but it looked that way to me.

This comic is awesome! I keep rereading it.

Do you mean Javil's pointing finger on his (our) right hand by any chance?

Yes, but not his pointing finger. His whole hand looks circlish.

To tell you the truth...
I wish he could be my brother :'c He's such a caring man :'c I mean so far we haven't seen him interacted with his sister (I'm really looking for this ) but the way he defends her is so wonderful.

I can completely relate to that ^_^. I always wanted to have a big brother (though I love my two kick-ass sisters). I ended up writing the fictional brother I never had I think .

I didn't have to ask, I figured cutting hair is a big deal just by their reactions. I have my own species of humanoid beings that value long hair, lol. I have a feeling Naburas' bird is either the mom chick in the beginning or the baby girl, lol. Looking forward to finding out.

The scene came across great, I got the impression right away that cutting the hair was an insult or something from the way it was focused on, but Javill really deserved it for continuing being a brat >_>; He seems to be the sort of character who talks first and thinks much later

That poor tree didn't deserve anything though XD;

He was sort of asking for it haha. He knew Hayden isn't they kind of guy that counts to 10 first.

No actual tree's where harmed during the making of this page XD.

uuuuuuuu I like this page a lot. c: I can't wait to see the full consequences of cutting of the braid, though I already liked the last bit about showing him how to be different.
Keep up the splendid work!
Also I have to say your comic is very easy to read and follow and just looks so neat and organized XD I envy you!

I have yet to comment on the whole comic so far, so I will now. I absolutely adore this. Honestly, I find it extremely difficult being an avid book reader to get into comics but this one really does hit the mark for me. I the drawings are beautiful and semi-realistic, the colouring exquisite, and the story line has really got me coming back avidly every thursday without fail. If this was to be published as a proper book I would pay for this. This is top quality Keep up the good work!

Thank you for the kind comment . It will be printed as a book, but it won't be any time soon I fear.

Awesome job!! This is probably my favorite page. You instantly love the brother/cousin. He's a bit of a badass, isn't he?
