Satellite vs Dragon - 0:1.
When making a comic, the first thing you'll have to acknowledge is that you can't possibly make all pages look nearly as good as they should. So I'm happy if every once in a while there'll be a page which I'm satisfied with – you guessed it, this would be such a page. Especially since I never, and mean NEVER, draw dragons. As usual, laziness prevented me from looking up reference. So I searched my mind for the quint-essential dragon, and it ended up Chinese-looking… even though we do have some cool German ones. But I would have to look them up! ^_^
(On that note, I do have to mention that alejkhan draws some of the best dragons ever in FireBorn - which you absolutely MUST read if you haven't. Go go go!)
So, WHY a dragon? A year or two ago, this comic was reviewed on comicfencing.com, and one of the criticisms that struck me was that one reviewer complained how suddenly a talking gorilla would appear out of the blue. I imagine this reviewer wouldn't be too happy with a suddenly appearing dragon as well! But as always, the whys and hows will only be revealed slowly, ever so slowly – especially since the talking gorilla is old news by now but his presence still hasn't been justified.
Thanks for reading and commenting!

DAJB: Thanks! Yup, it may talk at some point. And by “some point” I mean - hopefully any of us will live that long!
Nepath And I'm looking forward to finding out whether you can make good on your reading plans… ^_^

Christ on a cracker! Dude! Since the last time I visited, you progressed from pro to GENIUS! The coloring on that alien/dragon/whatnot is a-ma-zing! Guess you won't be needing me as a colorist for future projects. No worries, I have plenty of work here as it is, so I'll keep myself busy :) Oh and btw, hi :) I'm back and planning to catch up with all my faves! Ah, Sunhra, my love... (sorry, Naomi and Boobshell)

I really love these kinds of Dragons! I hadn't seen Fireborn yet. It looks very good so your advertisement worked and gained her a new reader ^_^ I love the little reflective shadow of the dragon on the satellite remains! This page looks very very good and you deserve to be proud of it!

Pfft! Anyone who complains about a talking gorilla just isn't worth the time of day. Who cares how it got there? It's a talking [i]gorilla[/i], dammit! Oh, and nice dragon! Looks superb (of course!) Does it talk?
