Hey guys! This page…well, I did a lot of art and had to spill it off onto the next one, so that's why it's updating today instead of when it was supposed to on Tuesday! But gooood news: I got a new work computer, which Nick got for my birthday with his bonus money from work. It wasn't an expensive one of course, but it's got a better processor, more memory and more storage than my current one, which is going to remain my net computer ‘cuz I’m not ready to retire this one yet :) I just really needed something to deal with the grinding slow times in Photoshop, and I'm really hoping that production speeds will be improved meaning more updates. A big thank you to everyone who donated. Usually any bonus or tax return goes right to paying off late fees on bills we've missed but thanks to the donations we actually are are mostly on track this year.

Also, i realized after the fact that I answered a question stupidly! :P What I meant by “magicking into” clothing was actually shape-shifting into rather than poofing it on with a spell. Zerlocke and other Elites can change the shape of their wings or even remove them (though an Elite's natural state is the most comfortable, which is why he's not shifting them away despite having to walk through aisles of shelves where he could knock potions and things off with his wingspan!) and what Zerlocke most likely does is slide on a shirt with wing holes in it but “grows” them out once the shirt is in place. However, he's shown to quick-dress after a large transformation (for example, after saving Mye from vampires during the Orycalope massacre and transforming into a gigantic monster, he was wearing his favorite blue coat after the fight even though he showed up wearing a dramatic red cape, which got ripped in during the change) and besides that, Elites are natural illusionists/shapeshifters so they can put up the “illusion” of wearing clothing that will look and feel like clothes. Don't let that one creep you out too much :) Ah, that's better, I shouldn't answer good questions when I'm in a rush! since I'm queuing this I feel I have time to write proper notes. Plus I'm not half-dead tired right now, which helps. But I better get to work on the next one, which may end up being a weekend update. Seeya then!
