|  | Questions to Tom #2
« Thread Started on May 29, 2008, 1:33pm » | |
So, I agree that the other one is too long... so maybe time to start a new one... if you don't want you can kill it.
Two questions, asked by other people actually:
1. If it is possible to add/make other skins for this forum
2. Perspective in the pannel when Shadow 2 is calling their attention about the door... he is in the wall and his foot is touching the door in the floor... right?
And one of myself
Does Anja had to buy that space... or she asked for it? I mean... this being a school do kids have to pay for stuff (food, haircuts, and other stuff)?

Now with more Wild Speculation |

Oooh, new question thread. Good plan. My three questions, Should the Great Tom deign to answer, are as follows:
1) Does Gunnerkrigg have farm property or, given their pathological fear of trees, hydroponics? Or do they just buy locally?
2) In the past, was their a village/town that supported the Court until it got swallowed up it the court's expansion.
3) The nomenclature of "Court". Did the court at any time operate legal juridsdiction, or does it refer to courtyard? Or royal court?

Okay, here we go. Also remember that I won't answer anything that will reveal future plot or spoilers and things like that. Also, if you have a funny random question like "Can Superman beat up Darth Vader?", don't count on it being answered.

1: Not a priority right now.
2: Yeah.
3: Everything is provided by the Court, including Anja's old work unit.

1: The Court does have farm property as well as other means to make food.
2: Nope
3: The use of "court" here refers to a formal gathering of people/beings.

If possible, would you please clarify if the Queen who knighted Sir Eglamore is Elizabeth II or some other royal person, real or fictional?

Two answers:
1) He was knighted by the Queen of England.
2) The Queen in the story does not exist in real life.

I don't believe this was addressed before. If it had been, please forgive me.
1. What would you say your 1 to 3 most major influences are in terms of story composition and stuff?
2. What would you say your 1 to 3 most major influences are in terms of your art?

question I have pertains to today's comic. Do you actually know how to pick a lock, or is this something you had to research?

I really don't know. I try to learn from everyone I like, so there are just too many to mention, and no small few I would claim as major influences. I guess if I had to boil it down to a short list that answers the question without actually conveying my true opinion, it would include people like Yukito Kishiro, Alfred Hitchcock, Rumiko Takahashi, Jaime Hewlett, Akira Toriyama, my little sister, Mike Mignola, and people like that.

I do know how to pick a simple tumbler lock, but only because I was researching for the comic and learned how. Also the equipment is readily available on-line.

I would assume that Annie no longer has any living grandparents, or other relatives. Am I correct in thinking this?

In todays strip, Annie is wearing the blinker stone as a necklace. Does she still wear the antimony symbol necklace her mother gave her? I thought she wore it all the time, but perhaps she only wore it sometimes to begin with.

No, she still wears the antimony pendant. She has two necklaces on in this chapter.

Since it's just recently come up, I have to ask; have you ever partaken (partook? partaked?) of the realm of tabletop gaming?
|
A wizard did it.
Tom, I hope you expected this:

Assuming that it does not reveal anything about plot, when Reynardine was in Sivo's body, was capable of this same form manipulation that he is exhibiting with Annie's doll?

It sounds like Annie and Kat at the same time.

oh the "ahem" was just me clearing my throught, i often type in a cough or such if i do the actually do it while typing out something. Weird habit from RP days.
Hmmm so they move along the shadows and watch stuff from the surfaces they ly on.
Is there a psychopomp for robots? The ones that develop personalities and then quite possibly souls?

Couldn't you use png format instead of jpg ? It's quickly lossy if we zoom on a picture, for example : (4X zoomed Annie)
If this is on purpose to save space/bandwith, you can try a little program called pngoptimizer, it works great and the picture remains lossless [link].
I'm worried about that because it's quite a waste to spoil such art with compression.

While you're reading this, think about the fact that Julie Fowlis exists.
