Because I've not mentioned it yet, I would like to say that I do appreciate all the comments that are being left. Thanks! As a hobbyist it means a lot when others are enjoying my story. Oh BTW I can't afford an editor so lots of spelling mistakes D:

Aww, that's so sad.:c
Those backgrounds are so damn pretty doh!

Skweeee 24th Aug 2014, 11:21 AM edit delete reply

Thanks Seabiscuit! I'm still muddling through the steep part of the learning curve.

cattservant 22nd Aug 2014, 10:06 PM edit delete reply

A fine transition to the sub story.

Skweeee 24th Aug 2014, 11:22 AM edit delete reply

Thank you Cattservant. I put a lot of consideration into this transition so I am glad you noticed.

sssshhhhhhhhhhhh. be vewy, vewy quiet. i'm hunting seaws. xD lol. i love how this little girl is reading what appears to be 'Shakespearean death: a history.'

Skweeee 24th Aug 2014, 11:24 AM edit delete reply

Mmm. When I was 10 I was reading Solomon Kane. It didn't mess me up too much (I think).

jolle 22nd Aug 2014, 11:56 PM edit delete reply

Durp, panels 4-6 have pretty simple backgrounds. No matter though, I like it

Skweeee 24th Aug 2014, 11:25 AM edit delete reply

Thank you Jolle! It was my attempt at transitioning from Robin's art to Piper's imagination.

Children's books these days are very forward about death. My son had one about Hiroshima after the "A" bomb. True story =)

Skweeee 24th Aug 2014, 11:26 AM edit delete reply

Well even the Grimms' fairy tales are pretty grim.

Outlaw 23rd Aug 2014, 8:52 AM edit delete reply

Great page... Looks like Piper is reading a bit passed her grade level haha

Skweeee 24th Aug 2014, 11:27 AM edit delete reply

Thanks Outlaw. She might just might be.

Lesson: Be careful with your harpoon!
Oooo, Hockey Night In Canada! I like the sound of that!

Skweeee 24th Aug 2014, 11:28 AM edit delete reply

Well Piper does play hockey, and she is a fan.

IllustratorMan 23rd Aug 2014, 3:04 PM edit delete reply

I'm really in love with your use of colors here. Very nice.

Skweeee 24th Aug 2014, 11:29 AM edit delete reply

Thanks IllustratorMan. You're helping me build my confidence with colouring.

Skyangel 23rd Aug 2014, 3:32 PM edit delete reply

I have no idea how to pronounce that name but it's a lovely side story and I'm curious to see where it leads. XD

Skweeee 24th Aug 2014, 11:32 AM edit delete reply

I'm glad you're looking forward to this part of the story, Skyangel. The best I can do at phonetically spelling his name is
k'eye-yuck-tuck.

3Hours2Soon 23rd Aug 2014, 6:49 PM edit delete reply

I just have to say that first panel is amazing, being detailed and simple at the same time. Darn, that's a great use of blue space. (I always like silhouette drawings!)

Skweeee 24th Aug 2014, 11:34 AM edit delete reply

Thanks 3Hours2Soon! I like silhouettes as well. They can be so dramatic and imply so many things.

Lt. Dom 24th Aug 2014, 12:22 AM edit delete reply

I got to stop and say that I really like the way you draw your blood.

Skweeee 24th Aug 2014, 11:35 AM edit delete reply

DomDijon, Thanks! Gore, has got to look like gore man.

QuietClayton 24th Aug 2014, 4:28 AM edit delete reply

The sky is awesome!
...and I agree the blood is great too.
Sweet...

Skweeee 24th Aug 2014, 11:37 AM edit delete reply

Thankyou QuietClayton! I can't afford photoshop so I try my best with corel paintshop pro. Someday I do hope to get PS though.

Toxic Keg 24th Aug 2014, 8:14 AM edit delete reply

Those harpoon thingys can be pretty dangerous.

Skweeee 24th Aug 2014, 11:38 AM edit delete reply

That's right Toxic Keg. When you're on your own, one cannot afford to be clumsy.

LadyLestat101 24th Aug 2014, 9:34 AM edit delete reply

Cant wait to see where this goes.

Skweeee 24th Aug 2014, 11:39 AM edit delete reply

I'm glad you're enjoying it LadyLestat101!

Matt Knab 24th Aug 2014, 11:09 AM edit delete reply

Poor Kay. :(
Great art as usual!
Heads up - panel 8 has a typo. I believe "ack" should be "back".

Skweeee 24th Aug 2014, 11:43 AM edit delete reply

Thanks Matt! Ugghhh! My spelling is atrocious. I think I'm averaging at least one or two errors per page D:
I intend to go back one of these days and clean that all up. Also, I should probably wait a day or two before posting a page. I tend to get excited about posting it when I do the lettering. Ha ha , as soon as I have that last punctuation done on the page I'm uploading it, without proof-reading it.

Shopping around for a nice peaceful spot to die in. Nice!

Skweeee 24th Aug 2014, 11:45 AM edit delete reply

It's what we all want in the end.. Am I right?

Twistedfro 24th Aug 2014, 3:29 PM edit delete reply

I really like the simpler lines as we enter Piper's imagination...cool transition. I also learned a lesson with this tale...don't run with harpoon's...you can poke out...everything! :-)

Skweeee 24th Aug 2014, 7:42 PM edit delete reply

Ah! I'm so glad you noticed the transition!! Yeah, and running with a harpoon; I don't recommend it.

sephirencomics 25th Aug 2014, 11:02 AM edit delete reply

I love how you do the different colors in the sky, like in panels 8 and 9.

Skweeee 25th Aug 2014, 1:12 PM edit delete reply

Thanks! It's one of the few tricks I know with colouring.

Miss-Kennedy 27th Aug 2014, 5:50 AM edit delete reply

Taking the decision to look for a decent place to die is a hard one :(
Wonderful artwork here again

Skweeee 21st Sep 2014, 3:37 PM edit delete reply

Thank you! Thank you, Miss-Kennedy!!

Sleeper 16th Nov 2014, 9:08 PM edit delete reply

I'm curious if this is based on actual mythology.

Skweeee 16th Nov 2014, 9:30 PM edit delete reply

I have been doing research into Inuit folk tails etc. This little story is all mine, but I tried to make this as respectful and observant as I could to aboriginal tradition.
I have quite a few first nations friends, so it's been important to me to include these references that make them unique to North America and Canada in particular. I tried to stray as far as I could from cliche's, and based them more on my personal interactions with my First Nations friends.

Sleeper 16th Nov 2014, 10:16 PM edit delete reply

It has a very authentic feel. like I wouldn't at all be surprised if you had said it was.
