Solipsism - the belief that one's own mind is all that really exist. All other ‘beings’ are but figments of one's own mental world. Very young babies are Solipsist. So are people with certain abnormal mental conditions or who have very odd belief systems. The thing about solipsism, though, is that you can never completely logically prove to a Solipsist they are wrong. In fact, you can't really prove, using pure logic, that you shouldn't be one.
.
Most of us believe that other entities, other minds, are real, but ultimately it's an assumption. The correct assumption, I believe, but an assumption nonetheless. Other entities, real or not, can make your life better (or less painful), so it sorta pays to treat them as real *snicker*
.
As for this page, I dunno if I scanned on some wrong setting, but it's much lighter, more ‘airy’ than I prefer (this story is too serious for pastel looks haha). Made skin too ‘orangey’ too. Still searching…

Thanks for reading, everyone :)

I agree, Paul - we'll see if Kimber does later today ;)

Talking always helps - solipsist or dreamer or no. ;)

Thanks cres0055. I'm not completely sure how I got this look. I know this page (like the last) I was trying that 'no black' thing still (then put black over the top when I wasn't satisfied), and I think I scanned in with a color setting off or something, so... not sure how I'll reproduce this airy look. Oh yeah, the recent pages are all sorta text heavy - kind of 'bringing-things-we-have-so-far-together' pages.

You know, as I was reading I didn't notice anything, but now that you mention it it does look different. I agree with plymayer that it does kind of look like an old postcard. Hmmm, cool page. Looks like dream therapy is going to happen now. Also I like how the last 2 panels turned out, even though they are kind of text heavy.

Thanks Peipei :) Figment of her imagination...? She certainly believes so ;)

Damn, something to think about here...Is this all just a figment of her imagination? Also, the drawings look brighter and more colorful today, I like it :3.

I like them here. Probably it would be good to tailor the tones to the page.

You like the lighter tones better, Plymayer? Hmmmmm... Maybe I'll try something similar on a later page.

Hhmmm.... Much to ponder there. Especially in your author's comments. Like the tones on this. The lighter airy feel gives it a old postcard look.
