[LotF] rant: Cat Legend and Travel Update

Hey guys! And many welcomes to any visitors from over at Cat Legend. The secret project I mentioned working on before was that I got an opportunity to do a guest page or two for the wonderful Kat who does CL. If you guys aren't already among the Cat Legend audience, go start reading it now. I positively adore her story, and her characters are a blast to draw.

And to those visiting from CL, I hope you see something you can enjoy in Lot4 and/or Overhill. Please pop into the chat room to say "Hi". The more the merrier!

By way of an update, I got an extra page finished over this weekend, so my missing updates as a result of my trip will be for only two weeks instead of three. You've got another Lot4 page coming on Monday.

... Yup, that's it. Busy Busy.

[DA] Go Mr. FuzzFuzz!

HP - Silas's Patronus by ~elfgrove on deviantART
So that a conversation ([link]) I had with Meru ( ~aiuchi) a little bit back involved categorizing several of our friends into Hogwarts houses, and discussions of potential Animagus and Patronus forms...

I was talking to last night, and since we put him in Ravenclaw, I figured I'd ask forhis favorite animal and draw a Patronus picture of him as well.

...Well, turned out he and Meru had already had that conversation and I was informed his Patronus is a squirrel.

So I got to drawing it today... And as I did... I just tried to picture Dementors fleeing in fear of a little silver squirrel... I giggle every time I picture it. It's just too funny. The Dementors have no dignity anymore.

In case you can't read the text on that last panel:
=shibamura-prime: GO Mr. FuzzFuzz!!
~aiuchi: So~o cute!
~elfgrove: So who's idea was the squirrel Patronus? I almost pity the Dementors.


Also, Overhill has updated with a new page and a new website layout. Just in time, since ~Asatirashould be featured on Cat Legend as a guest artist this Friday I think.

[OH] Comic: December 21, 2006

Prologue, page 10

The entire website at Overhill has been re-vamped, and new rants from both Asatira & I are available there.

Prose for Page 10:

It was frightening. How much had been covered up for so long. Even more so was the lack of explanation for the phenomena. Armies, Navies, Air Forces; every country attempted to send a team of some form in. Each time, contact was lost.

And no one returned.

On December 21st, 2006, the Winter Solstice, something happened that would change the world forever.

Boats came sailing out of the mists that surrounded Great Britain, Ireland, and Scotland. They were nothing like the world had seen before. At least... not in modern history. Graceful, beautiful and terrible. Ships of intricately carved wood, of stone, of jewel, of ice and bone and fire. They were made to float by the lost art, by magic.

I also posted a bunch of other SDCC(San Diego Comic Con) sketches, but they're in scraps, so it's more time-consuming to post them with thumbnails, so you just get links.

[OH] Comic: The World Has Changed Greatly...

Prologue, pages 8-9

Prose for Page 08:
The world has changed greatly in the past three years. It had started relatively unnoticed by most of the world. Mullein’s family had noticed strange things afoot. So had a small number of Europeans. But overall, the events that began about three years ago were kept relatively quiet, in the beginning.

Mullein’s parents had been planning a trip to Ireland. Research for her Mother’s latest paper. Their flight had been repeatedly cancelled...

For months.

Prose for Page 09:
It was finally made known to the world in April of 2006. The world had lost contact with Ireland, Scotland, and Great Britain. The world governments had been collaborating to keep it quiet for nearly six months. It had started small. Rural towns, the ones built near mystical places like Stonehenge, or the lesser known “Faerie mounds” suddenly found technology failing. Electricity went out. Phone lines died. Cars wouldn’t start. Satellites, cellular phones, cameras, videos, television signals... nothing but static.

And as everything failed, then there was no word at all. People didn’t travel in or out of affected areas. Cars would simply stop working. The onboard computers of planes and helicopters would start failing inexplicably, giving wrong readings or shutting off completely, forcing the pilots to turn back. People who ventured in on foot or by horse never returned. And the effect spread. Overtaking larger cities. Until, finally, all three countries were lost. After that fact became undeniable, it was made public knowledge.
