Happy Belated Valentine's Day, everyone.
To others (including myself), a very happy belated Single Awareness Day. :D I hope you had just as much fun as I did!
This week I have a very shiny transformation splash page for you. I think I might have overtone it on the sparkles, but overall I think it came out very well.
Oh dear. Where have Ranu's clothes gone?! He's going to be in a lot of trouble. Nobody likes a shining, naked boy streaking around the roofs of the city! XD
I've been very busy this week and I have more to do today, so I really can't say much. I'm reading a very good book lent to me by a friend called “A Voice in the Wind” by Francine Rivers. I've never read Christian literature before (I didn't even know it existed!) and I absolutely love this author and her books. If you can, you should read “Redeeming Love”, the retelling of one of the often overlooked stories of the Bible, that of Hosea. :)
I'm very proud of the next page. Also, next week I will finally post Ranu's profile in the Characters section of the site, though still with some pieces blurred out to avoid further spoilage material.
Also, a friend and I started an Art Blog called Dragon Aquarium. Both of us will be posting sketches and pieces of work we've been working on. You may even see some pages of 1Q in progress, or thumbnails and pencils of the pages!
Have a lovely week!
Cheeko out.

Evil Emperor Nick: Yeah, I know what you mean. I was quite a bit surprised to see Ranu growing up. And rather apprehensive, I must admit, but I think it could work as long as he's not completely adult-like. He's already precocious enough to warrant it. That said, I second Sly's loincloth suggestion.

I know I was more supportive of this last week, but this week I find myself questioning this moved of aging our main character. After all I LIKED young Ranu and the set up around. I'm holding off judgement for now as I want to see where this is going. I haven't had many complaints about the writing in this comic so I'm willing to wait and see where you are taking us here.

You just got me hugely intrigued! ;D Did he go to the future like Link?! OMG what happened!? This is awesome!

Nice crack Bob The Hobo XD

I like the sparkles.

*sparkle* *sparkle* nice page! It's building up to something... To tell you the truth, this page reminds me of a car commercial: Introducing the all new, 2008 RANU! Comes with 10 more age power, bringing him to 17 agepower total, all new look. Yours for one dragon that can answer any question (warning: may be naked, confused, and sought by fangirls)

Yay happy singles awareness day! I spent it at work and in class. (That's 9 am to 8 pm.) *shakefist* This was nice to see. Now...I wonder what significance the tattoo has...hmmmm
iwannacookie at 6:30PM, Feb. 15, 2008
woooow shiny shiny!! that looks really awsome, you did a great job cheeko. i like the wings, it looks sorta like a bird. i just know this is gonna get really interesting soon, i cant wait to read it!
littletrinks at 2:47PM, Feb. 15, 2008
Wonderful! And who really cares if you had fun with the sparkles? He better find some new clothes soon.... and i'm sure his old ones won't fit...
lennan at 2:37PM, Feb. 15, 2008
I think Ranu will be mighty embarassed when he sees he's lacking clothes. And cold too. Poor lad. And it's the tattoo! Are you going to explain its meaning, as in why it looks like that?
Sly Eagle at 2:10PM, Feb. 15, 2008
Ranu, now is a VERY good time to recall that the book was wrapped in a long strip of fabric. Loincloth time! XD I like the sparklies just fine. They add a certain sense of depth to the BRIGHT LIGHT.
ce33 at 1:49PM, Feb. 15, 2008
Heh. That is Very sparkly indeed. Looks nice though! (but then I haven't noticed stuff of yours not looking nice...)
Elaine at 11:31AM, Feb. 15, 2008
Hum...but if he grows feathers or dragon scales then there won't really be a problem with nudity.
Tybalt Makoto at 9:20AM, Feb. 15, 2008
Sorry for you being single, me? Taken and Happy! As for the comic, it is awesome, he his going to have an issue with that isn't he?
Potato U Princess at 8:52AM, Feb. 15, 2008
I wonder how he'll ajust to this part? Being suddenly older, stark naked, and having an unexplaned tatoo on his back. Hmm, and what a nice back it is... Huh, It looks to me like the marking is somehow connected to his getting those wings at some point... Hmm, if they didn't just suddenly appear on his back, then I suppose they only appear if he needs to fly at the moment or something, so he can make them appear of vanish at will...Hmm, That would be convenient. It would be kind of a pain to walk around with a huge pair of wings for the rest of your adult life...

I don't usually comment on the comics that I read because I'm a dork, but I have to say that I've been enthralled with these updates. =D Mmm, so I'm guessing that the mark on his back is a clue to Crysthel's location?
RhianConway at 6:57AM, Feb. 15, 2008
The sparkles are perfect! Wow...Ranu has a fine FINE back. *nodnod* He has gotten another fangirl!!! Wowz, this looks of wings, now Ranu can be a shining, streaking, semi-birdy boy running around the rooftops!
miguelito3dp at 6:39AM, Feb. 15, 2008
you forgot the sound effect "FSSHHHHHHHH" =P
Silvertoungedmonkey at 6:24AM, Feb. 15, 2008
gee, how I love generic responses. I thought we were supposed to guess, I be sure to reread it next time.
Moonclaw at 6:13AM, Feb. 15, 2008
Shiny sparkles!! :D Hmm, oh dear is right...no clothes does pose a problem. >:) Wonderful page. I really like how the sparkles came out.
jiminycricketX at 6:03AM, Feb. 15, 2008
OMG! He be nekkid! My brain still hasn't worked out the connection between the book and his transformation. I suppose I'll have to read some old pages and scan for clues.
Azarr at 5:54AM, Feb. 15, 2008
No idea what the hell is going on, but looking good.
