Chapter 3: Page 2
So we learn what a Sky Path is, and also the gist of what a Farseer is. I struggled for a while with how to best show/explain what the blue robe mastery involved studying. Ideas I didn’t use included a highly complex boardgame not unlike 3dchess crossed with go.
Fate and choice will be big themes in the comic, both now and later on, so it’s important to get across the idea of reading the flows or lines of possibility early on.
I also originally drew Lenya with tall socks but this is supposed to be directly following chapter 2, and, well, magically appearing thigh high socks are not visually consistent. But brrr does that look chilly.
How exciting! Just got caught up with the comic, really enjoying it!
I’m happy you like it, yay! Thanks for commenting :)
They are at the top of the tall building we saw earlier? If so, the penalty for failing this test is rather final, isn’t it?
Just read through the archives and love the story so far. Though somewhat sad that this lovely girl will become the woman we saw in the first pages.
I am amazed that anyone would be able to keep up two independent studies simultaneously. She must be frightfully good!
You’ll see :)
