Chapter 5 - Page 02

Reminder: If you haven't checked it out recently, don't forget to look in on the BVC Scrap Book here at DD. You never know - we might just have snuck something new in there!
Note: We've finally added a Character study of the Shaman in the Forum. We should have put this one up when the Shaman first appeared but we weren't sure how to do it without giving away too many plot spoilers. Anyway, it's there now (plot spoilers and all!) so, if you do decide to take a peek, read it selectively!

Looking good...and as if doctors and nurses weren't rough enough to start with...!

JNP: Heh - I hadn't thought about that! I guess [url=http://www.drunkduck.com/Off_Hours]Off Hours[/url] is one big fanart fest, really!
JustNoPoint at 9:32PM, Jan. 16, 2008
Does my newest page of Off Hours count as fan art? I just wanted to add Stan as a fan after all =P

T: Thanks! And, yes, fan art would most definitely be more than cool! I've never had any fan art for [i]Shades[/i] before, so I'll be so excited I shall probably post it at all three of the sites where [i]Shades[/i] is running!

I like the way Boo looks. I think I'm gonna send you a fan art picture of her if its cool.

Titan: Hey, thanks! SciFi: First time commenter? You're welcome! JNP: Thanks. (You flatterer, you!)
TitanOne at 9:06AM, Jan. 16, 2008
Very nice--both the art and characterization are superb.

This is a very well written comic, keeps me coming back for more every time. Congrats on the contunuous effort, too...

Again you amaze me with your dialectic skills. Man this is some good writing. *JNP takes massive mental notes on dialogue implementation.

Alana: Do you have any idea how long it took me to decipher "Kthxbai!"? Anyway - the penny's just dropped (and it wasn't a relative of Cthulu after all!) JMT: Just for this chapter. Go on - let him have his rest! Rutger: Thanks!

"...so if the freaky ninjas attack, I'm really sorry, but I'm going to have to sit this one out. Kthxbai!" ;)

sweet, I hope this doesn't put the old guy out of commision for too long.

one: Heh - well, as the cast grows, I can let other characters ask the silly questions that move the plot forward! Trevor/seventy2: Thanks, guys! Adam: Mine, too! I think Harsho's choice of BG colours (the cold blue of the sheets/uniforms and the neutral beige of the walls) all complement Boo's red hair to create a very balanced whole. Plus, I must admit I do like the banter between Boo and Stan!

this page is awesome. sunil isn't asking a bunch of questions! haha. no really, well done. CJ
Adam Black at 10:29AM, Jan. 14, 2008
This is one of my favorite pages so far.
DAJB at 10:26AM, Jan. 14, 2008
LJS: Thanks! Space: Wow - you have such a lurid imagination. If the next chapter wasn't already drawn I might even have stolen that idea! ;-) Midge: Aah, they like him really! That's just Boo and Stan indulging in a little mutual teasing! Armando: Hey, it's a happy page! Who'd have put money on Stan still being alive half-way through the last chapter?! Molly: I don't know if you have ... But she certainly does! (And don't worry - they'll take good care of Stan!)
spacehamster at 9:57AM, Jan. 14, 2008
Wait, so... what's she implying in panel 4? I'm thinking gender reassignment surgery here, but that's probably not it. ;-)
TheMidge28 at 9:18AM, Jan. 14, 2008
man-hater nurses...oh no! they may take care of some things apart from Stan's injuies!
armandoB at 9:17AM, Jan. 14, 2008
feel sorry for him damn
Molly Loves the KLF at 9:09AM, Jan. 14, 2008
Boo rocks. Did I ever say Boo rocks? CUZ SHE BLOODY DOES!!! Man haters, eh? Lets hope they're not too harsh to Stan. :s

Lemnis: "ICU" (in hospital-speak!) = Intensive Care Unit. Stan isn't really so seriously injured that he needs "intensive" care, but it shows he's being well looked after! It [i]does[/i] seem like months in DD-time! When I was writing the script, I had to make a timeline in order to keep track of events. In case it helps, I'm going to put that [url=http://www.drunkduck.com/community/view_topic.php?cid=2548&tid=38640&comic_id=18888&p id=521839#521839]timeline in the forum[/url]. Feel free to take a peek! Tantz: Hey, thanks - that's exactly what we were going for! Villamar: Thanks.
Lemniskate at 8:01AM, Jan. 14, 2008
What does "ICU" mean? Oh, and... only yesterday? Felt like months to me :P
Tantz_Aerine at 7:38AM, Jan. 14, 2008
Good job with the perspective and the gurney. And as always, the dialogue is top notch. Really catches the intimacy (friendly one) of these two and feels like they have known each other for ages and ages. Well done :)

East: Thanks - we aim to please! cs3: Thanks. And, sorry - tea's off! Harry: And maybe dangerous to know? And, yeah - I know about the pony-tail. It's hanging in place of honour above my mantelpiece! ;-)

I really like all the details, artistically and storywise. Great stuff!
