Human vocal system can be modeled as a a bunch of flexible chambers and valves this allows us people to have such a tonal range.

Also at this point i thougth Sythe was only the comic relief, destined to be alone because as he put it once: Nobody cared about him. It is kinda nice to see that maybe in some far future he might get someone who actually loves him.
Anyhow there where two Laura sketches we missed and that simply cannot be right:
I am getting some MGS3 flashbacks on the first one: Sidecar Laura . This makes me wonder why sidecar motorcicles went out of style....
We also got our favorite dead vixen channeling her inner Shantae on Laura of the Lamp . All I can say is the outfit really suits her.
There are three things that motivate people: Money, fear and love.

No, they weren't missed, they just got buried in all the discussion about Keidran biology and voices and such.Technic[Bot] wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2019 3:52 am Anyhow there where two Laura sketches we missed and that simply cannot be right:

Re: Sketch of the Day
I am sorry i did not see it.
Any case there is a new sketch. Wich i hope i do not get sniped before posting
Today we see how our favorite hybrid on her first day at college on College Kat . A nice piece but I am not sure headphones like that would work on those ears.
Also it is a bit disheartening to see how all the comments point out that Keidran don't live long enough to actually go to college...

For me, the short lifespan is one of the harder bits of disbelief to suspend.Technic[Bot] wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2019 9:15 pm Also it is a bit disheartening to see how all the comments point out that Keidran don't live long enough to actually go to college...
Just to be an adult, a keidran has to learn in 6-8 years what a human learns in 16-21. They clearly have to be significantly more intelligent. And yet... they don't seem to be.
To be a master of a craft (say, a blacksmith) after half of his adult life, a keidran must reach that point in 7 years of training and experience - a human, in 20. Again, we've seen no sign that this is happening.
If keidran aren't hyperintelligent compared to humans - at least well into middle age - then they should be way behind humans in technology, and a war between humans and wolves would be a seriously one-sided affair with the humans totally dominating every aspect - and the human alliance with the tigers not worth the bother beyond the convenience of not fighting on two fronts at once.

Re: Sketch of the Day
Funny enough, when I saw this title, the first thing that came to mind was my mother's place of post-high education, Wells College, best known for a ridiculous amount of feral housecats (basically domestic cats with no definite person to live with). Because, you know... College Kat, switch the K with a C... Yeah. That happened.
Maeve is so cute, they're thinking of renaming the Pokémon Ability known as Cute Charm, so it becomes "Maeve Charm."

Lore, plot and supension of disbelief aside, which as you mention has some weird and sever implications: How come they have any culture? they do not live long enough for that. The whole idea came from a joke that was honestly not that good then and it is still not fun now. And I think the same joke could have been told without severely limiting Keidran lifespan.
Besides Tom does not seems like he really wants to esplore that idea and its implications:
When Trace realized Flora will probably not make it past his 30 birthday it took only a couple of strips for Nora to make Trace forget the idea of extending her life effectively killing that sub-plot.
Also most Keidran relevant to the story are young enough that it is unlikely their short lifespans are gonna be an issue, specially at the comic current pace, and all Kiedran old enough to be close to kick the bucket have a very weird case of inmortality/life extension. I.e: Euchre and Rose.
And to top it all the Lore reason Keidran has such a short lifespan is probably because ephemera threw a natural 1 (critical failure) while on the character race creation part of the game the mask are playing.
So yeah not a fan.
At the end of the day Tom is probably gonna cheat his way out addressing the issue by some Deus Ex Machina or something...

Re: Sketch of the Day
It wouldn't nearly make it 'impossible' for them to have a culture. They have writing, and live multiple decades. It'd be a fast-changing culture, sure, but they'd definitely still have one.Technic[Bot] wrote: ↑Mon Mar 18, 2019 4:50 amHonestly i do not like the idea of the short lifespan either.Warrl wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2019 10:59 pm

As for the tech difference, AFAIK Keidran are way behind the humans in technology. The only reason they haven't been wiped off the face of the planet is a combination of home ground advantage, breeding rates, and that the humans haven't really tried until very recently

It's possible, sure, but it's not something that humans tend to "naturally" do.

Re: Sketch of the Day
With practice, just about anything comes naturally. You don't have to think about riding a bicycle in order to do it, even though there's nothing "natural" about it. With voice, affected tones are much more unconscious than the touch-typing that I'm doing to write this sentence without looking at the keys.Tyger42 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 18, 2019 10:25 pmIt's possible, sure, but it's not something that humans tend to "naturally" do.

In case you weren't aware, no medical procedure exists to alter a transgendered person's voice, it's all just affecting a new tone, but that doesn't prevent most trans people from passing vocally just fine. Sure, there's a natural, physical element to the voice, as well, but there are cis men with high-pitched tones and cis women with low-pitched ones, and people can still recognise their voices as masculine or feminine, thanks to the affected tones they've learned to use unconsciously since childhood.

Today we have another reference sheet, this time of Laura!

Also, it's moderately vindicating in an incredibly petty "I called it!" kind of way to see that in the locket was in fact just a mana crystal and not a subtleseed crystal. Shoutout to the good times debating it way back yonder though!
