Description And thus came that time of year, when I spend almost two months working on a comic about people just standing there, talking! (And it's also the reason why I haven't submitted anything in ages.) I'm proud of it and hate it at the same time, and would like to change certain elements to make it more consistent and interesting (and well, better-looking)... still, it took me long enough and I need to move on, or I'll go crazy. xDD

Since the comic itself is spoilery to Harvey and Trinne's future anyways, I guess a clarification is okay - because I can see how this might confuse people.

"Even though Harvey refused the Dark Ritual, a child was born from his and Morrigan's strange relationship - an ordinary boy, whom (on account of Flemeth's reappearance near Kirkwall) the Witch of the Wilds felt she couldn't afford to keep. So she approaches the Warden Commander sometime during Awakening, and presents him with an offer (and a bundle xD). Harvey dazedly accepts, and as a result, complicates his life and relationship with certain mage girl even further. Moving on...a few years have passed, and he accidentally picks up Morrigan's trail again - feeling there's still a debt and unspoken words left between the two of them, he decides to follow. And well, this is what happens."

Basically, I regret nothing? (And neither does , we are both cackling like two insane hags over this. ) Don't mind us, we are just playing in our little sandbox.

This is a very nice comic, my dear! I like how the story telling works here and you're improving so much with body and face expression, I'm very glad about it. Of course colors are well worked, too, imho. Good job!
Also, I love this headcanon and it is so accepted Γ²__Γ³

Thank you! :3 I had a crisis or two while drawing further parts, barely holding myself from redrawing earlier portion of it (and in some cases I didn't manage to stop myself :/) But hey, I had to finish it someday. xDD
I'm glad you like it, and that you approve of our little headcanon! :'D

I have to congratulate you on all the work, head-desking and frustration were so worth it! Personally, I am a horrible planner... They tried to force it on me in grade school, needless to say it is not my strong point. I envy those who can make comics, so much planning involved...

But now I'm rambling, terrific job on bringing everything together so seamlessly

I think you will get your wish, Trinne seems to help bring out that side of him. He's usually too stoic to get cranky, but certain things are a no-no even for him.

So yes. Now that I'm past the EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE alsifhlasdknfl;ksdnfl stage and can actually leave a coherent comment, allow me to sum up my feelings:

THIS. IS. PERFECTION.

Seriously, I know there's things you want to change/fix, but I absolutely positively ADORE every. freaking. panel. This is amazing and awesome and perfect(and yes I know I told you all this already. I'm saying it again, because it's true ). Is it bad that now I'm visualizing the epic catfight that would result if Morrigan ever *did* insinuate to Trinne that Jamie was a 'concession' on her part? XD

I just... I CAN'T. I'm trying to come up with more to say and words fail me to describe teh awesomeness that is this comic. You have improved sooooo much and it shows and this is just utterly fantastic and I'm sitting here cursing the fact I can only favorite it ONCE.

freethegoats In reply to queen-scribbles [2013-05-11 13:52:13 +0000 UTC]

I'm so happy that this comic was worthwhile, truly. ;_; Some parts really made me want to flip tables. Your reaction makes me so happy! :3 BASICALLY ASDFGHJKL OH YOU!!! xDD

Hah, I guess I have my favorites when it comes to panels -some I adore still, and a lot I would like to redo completely from scratch, even if I did like them at first. But seriously, if I did this, the comic would take me another five weeks to finish at least. xDD (I imagine it would be a catfight of 'take cover' proportions. Fire and lighting, ashes and destruction. Do not recommend. xDD)

It's okay, I'm just glad you're taken by it. (And that you approve, because that was my biggest concern here xDD) I wonder if I kept Morrigan in character enough...I guess this comic helped me to establish how HarvxMorri relationship will look like in practice a bit.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

queen-scribbles In reply to freethegoats [2013-05-14 10:48:21 +0000 UTC]

Yes. 'Tis gorgeous and amazing.

Heh, while I do truly adore every panel, I have to say, my favorite is probably the one of just Morrigan's eyes after Harv says "He's healthy". I don't know why, exactly, it just is. Followed closely by all of Harvey expressions. I love your son. (Yes. 'Tis to be avoided at all costs. There would be too much property damage.)

Well, I could hear Morrigan's voice in my head as I was reading her lines, so I think you kept her in character. And if it helped establish how HarvxMorri is gonna look, this is a good thing too. :3
