Cool questions. Most answers havent been revealed yet. the whole Korsair stuff...the hand, danjir, the voice.....all of that are revealed after this Mr. 8 segment/action sequence. (I had to get 8, jinn and silas off the Black Oktober/Drul vessel, in order to get them more into the core character group....this is the only way I could figure out how to do it quickly, without slowing things up.) All the Mr. 8 stuff, How he's connected to Jinn, How they are inside him. (He's about 8-9 feet tall, and massive.) and all that will begin to be revealed with the next update, which is supposed to be a big double splash page.
Keep in mind, although 172 pages have passed, in Engine time, it has been maybe 2 days. ( starting from the "3 years later" on page 17 or somewhere in there)
2 dragons, are inside one mountain. It will take 4 Engines to open it. The drul, already have one Engine, as seen in the earlier pages.
when I update, a page is freshly done....so all this is going as I complete the page, (usually about 6 hrs from when I start.)
I hope this helps. stay tuned...it's all coming together.
Thanks for the reply TTyler - the hand of our hero being cut off then replaced wtih a medely of parts like horn from his deer, the role of D-Jin who defeated and cut the hand off our hero, the nameless voice that helped our hero, No 8 being a ultra fast electronic bounty hunter - I wonder how thoes inside may survive, how can a little girl own/run Mr 8, is there a Mr 1, 2 3 etc. if we have seen Mr 8. Is there a Ms 8? I see that there are 4 engines and 2 dragons that means 2 engines per dragon? that there is a massive empire intent on finding the dragons? That chi energy can be channeled into body strength, that some pages are missing from fight scenes ...
Is this a finished product that you are posting here or is it work you are progressing on - I have no problems with the writing and the pacing, just the number of loose ends ... luckily some are resolving themselves .. :)
Tharisfal....yep. Its gonna be explained before the lesson in internal bleeding begins.
skythorn....Well...I think your confusion is due to my lack of being a writer. I really struggle with writing/plotting. I think I have too many plates spinning, and I am struggling to get to them before they topple....but I'll see what I can do to tighten it all up. What exactly are you confused about? Perhaps I can confuse you more, then myself.
After a 6 month break I have caught up, but am still confused (a normal state of affairs it appears but nice to have enhanced through webcomics) - Ddi anyone follow a webcomic by someone with a similar style to T Tyler by an artist with a handle of RONO64 : his nazi comic (which left me feeling almost as confused as Mr Tyler's magnificent piece) can be found here http://www.comicspace.com/rono64/
BTW - I love the characters, scale, sense of action and motion with the colour and inking - just love it - can I give more than 5 stars for this? Please!
Thank you Doctor (that sounds like a line from DR Who!!) On this page, I am starting to render objects in more of an Arthur Adams style. I'll probably continue this technique and see how far it'll take me. ( I highly recommend his San Diego art books by the way. Volume 9 should be available shortly after the convention.)

Great page as always, your art style is one of my favorites. Perhaps the next few pages will shed some light on Jinn's relation with Mr.8...
