Family Tree

Amelius on April 30, 2018

*sigh* my main website has been down for a while yes, thanks to malware and not being able to afford someone to fix it at the moment. We're gonna pay up this Friday to hopefully get it back online again.

That aside! This page murdered my arm, because despite the small size of the panel to the right, that's a full page of art and detailing out those leaves individually left me in pain for DAYS. Is it just me or do copics have a unique quality of ejecting from their cap at random when you've got them stored, so they can dry out and force you to go buy new ones? I know you can cheat it with rubbing alcohol poured into the barrel but the results of my attempted marker revival have been mixed (and I'm out anyway).
So here's the Marlowe hunters of the past! Not all of the Marlowe family or even all of the ones who were hunters, but these are the “greatest hits” through the generations between Jonathan and John. We may learn actual names later, but I'll tell you the relation they have to eachother- first on left is father of the two to the right, mutton chops is the father of the pointy-eared one who is in turn the father of the tall one on the right.
Front row, brother and sister, the next generation are twins, then Nicholas Marlowe and his son James Marlowe, who is John's dad and Vic's great grandfather.

Huh. Call me paranoid, but... is that Manick's "father-friend" sitting behind them in the van? Similar hair, same glasses, same mole on his face IIRC...

Fricken gorgeous art Amy!

Hiya! New reader here, just wanted to introduce myself. I was introduced to this comic through UIU (which I was introduced to through Facebook, long story), and liked your style so much I decided to see what else you had done. I've spent several days getting up to date on this, and it's been a ride. By this, I'm referring to two things. One, the story, of course, which is amazing-and I love the amount of thought you've put into it-and two, reading about all your troubles. From getting booted off the internet when the phone rang (I had no idea dial-up was still a thing in 2006) to having trouble with the bills to your current problems with your website (I'm looking forward to checking it out once it's back up), you've had a heck of a time keeping this going. And, I guess I just wanted to say, thanks for sticking to it, through all the tough times, I've really enjoyed the story so far and I can't wait to see where it goes next!

Aw, I'm glad! I love being able to see how someone's art has improved, it gives me hope for myself. I've just finished rereading it all, and there are so many things you hint at that we are only now learning about! Your writing really is incredible! While rereading, I left some comments scattered around, but I've just realized I have no way of finding them all unless I reread it again (not a terrible idea, the story really is incredible!). It would be nice if there was a handy way to look at all your comments. Oh well, I'm really looking forward to how the story progresses, and can't wait to get back to Kavonn and Daray and to see more of the forest!

ohmygosh thank you! I'm delighted to hear that, and that you survived going through those old archives-- ah the growing pains in there! I want you to know you've brought some joy to me in a time of immense stress, I really appreciate your taking the time to comment, the encouragement and kind words! As for my site, I have no idea when it will be back up-- there's gonna be a lot to do first! (I do not look forward to the inevitable headaches on the way...)

Amazing art here!

Amelius at 12:58PM, June 1, 2018

Oh! Why thank you! It took forever to draw haha! :D

So what does this mean for Hector? He's got the same parents, yet despite Ixerites love of the masquerade he was out there looking for powers, specifically vampirism. What if any hold does either have on him? At any rate I'm grateful for the bite all of the sudden. The brush with Murphy's Law will make it less likely he'll do something painfully reckless again. But I'm still worried about this kid. He's damn naive and apparently theirs a predatory pseudo-cult out there... so I guess we're lucky he's useless and not very close to Vic. Finally Hector's suffering pays off!!

Amelius at 12:53PM, June 1, 2018

Haha Hector must suffer! The one thing Hector has going in his favor in all this is he's kinda useless, Vic's far overpowering him in the inheritance struggle. What little power Heck has Vic is easily wresting from him... but unfortunately, that applies to both sides of it.

Well I see very similar beauty marks on two people in different flashbacks. Now I have to wonder, were John and Liam cousins? Oh, that is neat scenario. We talking big blow out? Or maybe they tried to go the friendly vamp route and it just didn't work? Hell, maybe they were still on good terms when Doc died? They didn't have to know what his job really was and obviously Belle is willing to give a fang the benefit of the doubt. He may have been a very been the picture of an upstanding vampire outside the mad scientist thing.

Ahh, reader theories give me life! I just want you to know how touched I feel that you made an account here while my main site's down, it means a lot to me! Ah, I wish I could just tell you what's up with Liam but I gotta be good and wait. :D

Victor's grandfolks are old school cool. This is I'm guessing late 60's, early 70's where it was more socially acceptable to live in a van Scooby Gang style.

Amelius at 12:59PM, June 1, 2018

Early mid-60's :D To be fair, they didn't live in the van it's just where they kept their gear and tossed the dead monster bodies to take in for disposal!

Great page

Amelius at 1:00PM, June 1, 2018

Yay!

So beautiful I could get lost in that forest

Amelius at 1:01PM, June 1, 2018

Thank you! Haha, definitely safer getting lost in this forest than the one in your comic though!
