Re: Filler for October 22, 2021: Twokinds 18th Anniversary
Now that I get a good look at it... Natani's vest is missing its trademark pattern, Keith is still rather happy, Eric is missing, Kat and Zen aren't next to each other, and there's a weird lizard demon in Raine's hair. Is that supposed to represent Stoney, or are we going to see something come up in the next few dozen pages?

18 Years. Wow! Way to go. Going all that time without a major hiatus either. Most of the other long running web-comics I follow have had a major hiatus from time to time to let the author catch u/ relax/get paying work done, etc.
Hasn't Flora been around since the beginning? 18 years is a really long time for a tiger to live, but she still looks quite chipper here and decidedly non-pregnant. Mind you, in-story, it has been less than a year.

They say you can tell you are getting old when your career becomes a teenager. And now Toms career can drink legally
I think her colors are off for Nora also she has something in it's mouth. Or a necklace?

18 years! pushing runtime close to my favorite finished scifi comic, Schlock Mercenary.

So. big celebrations all over Mekkan today. (I wonder if the statue in Shepherd Square gets a traffic cone on it's head?)
If we can infer anything from character placement. maybe this contention does have some validity?
It looks like Nat is getting in a sneaky ear-scritch while striking an action pose. Is it just my imagination, or is Keith looking a bit dreamy-eye'd there?
Also looks like Red still has a bit of a problem with Maren Sythe.
I nominate Maeve for cutest character there.
No Maddie? Oh, wait...
Well Mini-Noras have appeared in past filler pages, so there's precedent for it being her. The light source on Raine is high/behind/left, so that would put Nora(?) in shadow. I think that thing on her mouth is her tongue. *blep*Technic[Bot] wrote: ↑Fri Oct 22, 2021 11:33 pm ////I think her colors are off for Nora also she has something in it's mouth. Or a necklace?

Does the newest Book preorder pager qualifies for another thread or is it ok to group it with the 18th aniversary filler page right here?

Re: Filler for October 22, 2021: Twokinds 18th Anniversary
Woohoo, as would say Karen. Already 18 years of Twokinds ! This is awesome. Too bad I didn't know it before the past four years.
Love mini Nora with her blep, that's cute. Maybe we'll see her again in the comic soon? She knows for sure.
I'm surprised Maddie is so much hidden behind and . She is usually less shy looking at us, right?
I agree with Tornir, Maeve is the cutest here ! Give her high five. Or hugs. Or whatever she wants, in fact. Oh well.
Where is Natani's outfit pattern though? And is it just me or Kat's chin is a bit weird too? Kinda strange. Ah, I do always care too much about details.
I really love this picture anyways, opening to another great year of Twokinds! Wonderful!

Re: Filler for October 22, 2021: Twokinds 18th Anniversary
I can't find it now, but I'm sure I read somewhere that Nora was given a really long nap to take her out of the plot so the characters weren't travelling with a friendly "Dergus ex machina" that could just smooth out any problems or opposition they may encounter. She may well be back, just not any time soon.Joachim de Toul wrote: ↑Tue Oct 26, 2021 10:08 pm ////

She's not so much shy, as habitually sneaky. Being a spy, she'll default to covert observation unless she needs to directly interact with someone. Just look how she behaved in the Oasis room.Joachim de Toul wrote: ↑Tue Oct 26, 2021 10:08 pm I'm surprised Maddie is so much hidden behind and . She is usually less shy looking at us, right?

Re: Filler for October 22, 2021: Twokinds 18th Anniversary
Yes, it was in Chapter 12. The explosion of the tower drained almost all her energy while she was looking for Trace. She used the rest to take him and Laura out of the castle and treat him, so after that she was in need of a long nap (never precised how long it would last though). She did not even have enough energy to save Laura.Tornir wrote: ↑Wed Oct 27, 2021 8:32 am I can't find it now, but I'm sure I read somewhere that Nora was given a really long nap to take her out of the plot so the characters weren't travelling with a friendly "Dergus ex machina" that could just smooth out any problems or opposition they may encounter.

I don't think she'll return while the team is in trouble. The famous "I came back just in time to solve all the problems you had" is not interesting. Nora ex Machina
I would say Maddie is just like "WTF, no cake this year?! Shame on you ! Welp, I'll look to Maeve instead. For...information gathering purposes. Yeah, right."
Dunno why, I thought it was fun.

Re: Filler for October 22, 2021: Twokinds 18th Anniversary
From a plot standpoint, yes. Nora was WAY too O.P. for the normal cast. Her introduction and travelling portions were well-paced, but she needed to leave for the cast to really move forward with character development. I mean, let's face it; she never would have left Trace's side if she didn't enter a coma of some kind.
