ch.3, pg.51: “I Spy”
Note: The “I” is for Icarus. He’s spying. Just so’s ya know.
I was reading the comments to the newest strip for “Selkie” and realized that you all might like some new background on the comic for each strip… if I have any. Just so happens that I do!
In the strip where Alice uses her baton whips to tie up the werewolves, it was a last-minute decision to add this part in. In the original roleplay run-through, the heroes set off Red’s traps, then discovered her, actually captured her, and took her to HQ. I thought this made Red look weak, because she is truly a formidable character, and wrote it a little different for the strip. It gave the readers a chance to see Red’s character more, and how she despises Velvy and all “abominations”. This left one problem not in the original run-through: what to do with the werewolves? I knew they’d be blown up but the heroes didn’t know that. I also know that Alice will need her batons again shortly so I discussed it with TB and we decided it would be okay to have the whips detachable. Problem solved:)
For this strip where we start to see more of Icarus, I love that I get to show his glowing eyes! He’s pretty silent and has been moving forward stealthily in each panel. I hope that came through for the most part in the art.
Squeeee, Director Commentary makes it’s way to Shards. :D
Icarus looks hella creepy. I like!
Extra comment: With the line bisecting his face, I am guessing cyborg?
guess in this version he didnt land in the water >.>
Low-tech version of Iron Man? ;p
Dave> Actually, I posted a pic of Icarus back in February; just a sketch; so people could get a better idea of what he looks like before he makes a full reveal. Now it’s time to add his bio page! Maybe I can get to it tonight:)
I love your enthusiasm over the commentary. I guess I should make it more apparent when I have comments, huh? I’ve been making comments for a while.
Kotih> Huh?
Beedoo!> lol. I hope to have his bio page up tonight. He is just a metal construct. Actually something like a golem or D&D construct. I’m still trying to decide whether he’s got true free will or if he simply always obeys Daedalus. I do know he’s got a kinda machine voice, he’s “alive” because of a shard, and he is, in a way, really Daedalus’s son revived. He does not have a color assigned specifically to him, however because he is completely dependent on Daedalus. More to come!
Regarding Kotih’s comment: The implication being he hit the ground face-first.
(Unrelated, how do you pronounce your name, Kotih?)
Wisknort is correct ^^
As for my name, its an acronym so it doesnt really have an official way to pronounce it. I just go with: ‘co'(co-worker co-op etc) “tih” (ti-ck ti-p ti-m etc) making it co-tih the ‘tih’ is hard to explain lol hopefully that made sence.
*facepalm to self* Der… Sorry! Yes, of course! It was a long day LOL.
In the original version Daedalus and Icarus, Icarus flew to close to the son on the wings his father made, the sun melted the wax, Icarus fell to his death to the ocean below. But you probably read the new bio page already…
For those who haven’t, in our version, the shard intruded in their story, it started working right away, and despite Icarus growing some smarts and starting to descend, he was struck from the sky from the intruding shard and killed. Heh. That song from Alanis Morriset, “Ironic”, comes to mind a lot lately.
Welll, yeah, I know you’ve made commentary before, but… Uhhh…. er….
Well….
Yeah my bad. I blame communists.
I just felt bad that it seems people don’t seem to notice my comments. What I should have said was, “Yay! Thanks for noticing! I love it when people notice!!” :)
Hey, the concept is good;-)
The concept of communism, I mean. Geez, I need to be more specific LOL.
I have just read every comic over the last week, and I must say this is one of the best webcomics I’ve read. I can’t wait to read more. I can’t wait to read more.
Yay! Glad to yave you!
yave?
Hm? I do get the Doctor Who reference. I love that episode they first appear in!
