Description
<--- [link] previous - next [link] --->first : [link]
page 8 for now - I hope it looks good on your screen because I discovered that some screens totally messed up the colours...
--> Also some suggestions for the outer edge/border? I'm thinking about making it all black - now it looks rather messy...
Northern hyena's passing by in the large cheederian metacluster called 'L'Γtendard' - located in the Alps.
Pay attention to who does what, when. Apply the title of this volume 'Theory of Mind' ...Just think about why the characters possibly do what they do. There are 3 hyena to focus on, a brownish, nearly black yellow eyed one, a dark bluish grey one with mohawk and a blue eyed lighter spotted one with hanging mane.
I just explain this because the strong back-light might cause some confusion in who is who.
One general misconception I want to clarify:
Hyenas are no canids/dogs/wolves whatever. They are
are feliform carnivores, being closely related to felidae and viverridae, so they are closer to cats and civets than to dogs!
Northern hyena species, characters and story by me. Please don't copy and/or use it without my permission!

Let me say one thing- These illustrations are gorgeous. Every single panel looks like it could be submitted individually, a rare thing in DA comics.Β

Thanks! That means a lot. Even though I try to rush the Comic a bitΒ now, I still try to put enough effort in it that it looks good.

Oh! where exactly is L'Etendard located in the Alps?Β

Lol, actually I renamed it, but haven't changed it here yet. It's now called Zilval Summits. It's actually located where the skirsort 'les Sybelles' is XD

Really?? you think so? There are some other (in my eyes) better comics out there on DA - but I'm flattered to hear this hehe

Wow.

Thanks! That's very motivating to hear - and that's indeed what I try; making every panel a piece of art on its own

This is absolutely stunning! The colors, the details, the animals... Well done!

It's more efficiency rather than drawing every detail and spending a lot of time hehe

wow that the first page? I love it....but those are canines aren't they?
π: 0 β©: 1
Nopes, it's page 8 of the introduction and nope hyenas are no canines at all. Just scroll down on this page [link] or a version in Italian: [link] - you see the relationships of the groups in the big carnivora family - you fill find hyenas in 'feliformia' (the cat-like group), next to the felines. So they are no canines, nor canine-like (caniform) carnivores.

Wow, ohh I didn't know that.
They do kinda look like dingos and wild dogs but now I know.
Well anyway, very cool!

Oops I['m so late with answering that I even have submitted the next page already.

Amazing work! 
I adore how you do lighting, and the way you draw snow, mountains and rocks is simply astounding!
The fur textures on the hyenas look great, and I love their designs - loving this comic so far!

Thanks!! I try to play around wiht styles a bit in the intro - the next chapter will be more regular I think. But I have to say - I love the hyenas! You will meet more of them

I cant wait to see it on my laptop! I'm at work and this stupid computer...the screen it'self is really wacked up but i love love love their poses and expressions wow! The background is beautiful! you know...the NH's are a little cute. 
π: 0 β©: 1
Haha you got already infected by the hyena-like virus? Wait until you see some more characters...there is one very very cute guy I think...You have an idea?
π: 0 β©: 1
well maybe his family was attacked by NH's, like Yves and Sasha and I'guess' other Cheeds too. *but please dont let me frame the NH's to be worse than they are supposed to be or anything* so maybe it's good he cane remember like I'm glad he didn't see Mineuh tear that hospital to pieces would have made him sick. *Tuve is a very sweet tender gentle fellow, kinda shy sensative type you know*

Love the last panel. Those bright eyes are stunning!

Thanks! They have light eyes in contrast to regular spotted hyenas.

Nice charakter feature. I like it!

When seeing this, the first thing that pops into my mind is "what are they doing?" Looking for something? So yes, it is good that you describe to pay attention to the individuals, and not the whole group 
And the border looks fine, not messy at all! It blends fine with the colours in each panel

Ha yeah indeed - first following the adult cheed tracks while one of them spots the tracks of a cub...and then the other spots it too, probably reacting on the first one...Here comes some imporatant personality freatures of the first hyena already on the surface...
π: 0 β©: 1
But it is still hidden and only alert readers that look back will remember it 
π: 0 β©: 1
ha yeah maybe it's a little bit kinda encourage for the hardcore fans to search for hints in my comments...but knowing my snakkepakke tendency I easily spoil to much ^^. Ha and yeps - that's indeed the aim...that only the really alert readers see the deeper hints XD I got more ideas which I will hide in the story - as for a rather dramatical change that came in yesterday.
π: 0 β©: 1
Ohnoes me like dramatical changes 8D that's were you wanted to talk about, I guess? Well, I'm online tomorrow, and I'll have something to tell to, as a huuuge inspiration for Dani's revenge
About the spoilers in our comments, maybe the hardcore fans just love to read extra details. Much like all the extra Harry Potter books just to give the fans more to read about the world

So good, seriously how do you do it? lol
Also I wanted to make a tribute for you on my journal, hope it's okay.~
π: 0 β©: 1
Hehe thanks! Np at all! It might help me to new readers of the story.

Stunning!
This is so graphically beautiful, and the BD is so soft compared to others! Northern hyenas are a really good idea you had <3
And your realistic technique is, as always, amazing.

Thanks! I will change style in the next chapter, but still keep it more or less unique. I have rarely seen serious hyena characters actually ^^ But I love hyenas too, so that's why I give them an important role.

I have a question, Do the Northern Hyenas have the same... ((Sorry I Have Completly forgotten the name of it)) The metal that the Cheederian's have in their bodies? Or is that an advantage the Cheederian's have over the Hyenas? ((Sorry about my lack of knowledge )) Also, I Love your style and your imagination to create images and species like the Cheederian
π: 0 β©: 1
Nope the hyenas have no lightals nor some metal elements in their spine for better signal conduction. But they have well developed metaphyscial skills too, but pretty different.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh right, I think I understand, so they are pretty even in fighting then?
