Page 3: issues 5 (One the Run) and Special 1 (Sysyphus Part 1)

Top page: A little amount of physical comedy goes a long ways. I like Diamond (or should I just say Sparkle? I think people already made the connection) because she's so innocent. Her background will be given in this issue, and so will Astral's. But I do like the dynamic between these two, and I personally find Sparkle so lovable because of both her innocence and the fact that she's been dealt such a bad card in her life, but she tries not to let it stand in her way.
Bottom page: I know I said I wasn't going to be following that thread, but I realized it would be the perfect way to get Tempore into the events of the Halloween Cameo Caper–seeing the cover, you might know where I'm going with this, who he suspects (and possibly why Shal'tatal believes Tempore could be going to his death). I also realized that Mosieu is pretty fun to draw (though I think I swapped names for characters since author's comments on the page they all appeared on–I think I called that one Tieltal then). There are no cameos from other comics on this page, but those are sort of cameos there, being characters I never have spotlighted–or even given dialogue (this is even the first time I've ever drawn them in action, so I had to come up with their powers on the spot). But this page is part of the 2012 Halloween Cameo Caper.
Monday: Astral and Sparkle go clothes shopping and a special cameo as Tempore further investigates

I actually am taking Tempore into interesting territory in this story. Remember that he may be a protagonist, but that doesn't make him a hero. Those other order guadians won't be showing up again until maybe November, but I wanted to draw them again. And it's official: this is the only page where I flipped the Tieltal and Mosieu names. Remember that Mosieu was mentioned earlier, and I was meaning another character. The one identified as Mosieu on this page should be called Tieltal. I'm toying with showing Mosieu later this month, and why Shal'tatal mentioned the character while using the past tense.

Interesting- good setup, I like it! Looks like Tempore has to watch out for his own team pointing at his back. Good tension!

Well, I hd a storyline idea I wanted to do, so I decided to do it. Tempore needs a definite reason to be involved, and I realized that through him I could get some interesting cameos.

This got to be the earliest lead-in to a Caper I've seen so far! :D
