Description Goblyn 17a

a quick look back, while still moving forward.
I admitted to my friend and often times editor ~thatLD ,
that I was both excited and nervous about this issue.

the story is coming to a serious turning point.
a point where things about many of the characters will be revealed, and from that point on there will be no turning back. for them or for me.

I always had a couple of paths I wanted to go down, with each character... I just never thought i would finally get to that point where things stopped going uphill and started leveling out.
I'm both excited and nervous about the near future for these characters, maybe because I know what awaits them. not only in the coming year... but through out the rest of the series.
either way... this issue is a symbolic threshold, and I hope we all enjoy what's on the other side as we step over it.

J's mask is creepy as hell, yet supremely AWESOME! Also, Jeph's childhood seems... interesting. I can see why he's so messed up now.

SolomonMars In reply to ForceHog [2012-01-16 13:09:35 +0000 UTC]

haha thanks.
i'll definitely go into more detail about his mask later on.

Jeph's life is a bit complicated. but this is only part of the reason why he's so messed up. heh.

FurryMink [2011-12-06 17:44:38 +0000 UTC]

...Is it terrible that I really want to make a mask like J. has? >x>

Also, will we ever find out what 'J' stands for? Maybe it's like in The Simpsons, where the 'J' in Homer's name was actually 'Jay'.

And I will join the camp that thinks Little!Jeph is adorable.

Oh, uh, actual comic opinion. I like it, but it does raise a lot of questions. It doesn't bother me, though, because they're interesting questions. (Raising questions is fine to me, as long as they're not, 'How does that make sense?' questions, which I don't think I've seen you do.)

SolomonMars In reply to FurryMink [2011-12-06 19:12:12 +0000 UTC]

haha, nope it's not terrible.
i wanna make his mask too. maybe out of paper mache or something. maybe not.
i'm not that good at crafting stuff in 3 dimensions. heh

yeah... eventually we'll all know what the J stands for.
nothing serious. just a name. but it's a part of the story so... in time.

hehe little jeph. is he?

yah, the questions that are supposed to be answered aren't coming along fast enough, so it seems like they just keep piling up, but they all lay out to this long form story. "sigh"
thankfully these issues coming up will answer a good couple of the old questions.

Calicard [2011-11-28 08:06:27 +0000 UTC]

Wow. That was a really heavy issue. Love it. Lots to ponder now. The part with kid Jeph was really emotional.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

SolomonMars In reply to Calicard [2011-11-28 13:39:26 +0000 UTC]

yah? heavy good?
i'm trying not to plug in too many more mysteries and questions, but the flow of the story just has it so that so many pop up before they really get answered.

why do i love mystery so much?... WHYYYYYYYYYYYY!?
XD

i was nervous partly because of the amount of emotion injected into this ish...
but it was necessary to really give rise to the things that shaped Jeph.
thanks dude, glad you liked it.

No problem.

lukosv [2011-11-28 04:24:47 +0000 UTC]

So what mask is more than just a means of hiding his identity. Is it a artifact like Sank?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

SolomonMars In reply to lukosv [2011-11-28 13:33:29 +0000 UTC]

yep yep.
it's a logik artifact too.
not like Sank tho... Sank is special, because he has free will.
that mask is a prison.

i'll definitely get more into detail on logik artifacts, because they are about to become part of the main focus in this story arc.

lukosv In reply to SolomonMars [2011-11-28 14:44:39 +0000 UTC]

Awesome. It seems to have some influence though to take over the wearer like that. Or whatever is trapped in it at any rate...

SolomonMars In reply to lukosv [2011-11-29 16:13:24 +0000 UTC]

oh yah Mekashyll
was very powerful before being craftwerk'd into the mask.
it took a Logik Saint to put him down.

soopa soopa thankies.
i was really nervous about this issue.
even how it would be received.

Peroaks In reply to SolomonMars [2011-11-30 00:03:48 +0000 UTC]

I'll confess to not caring much for Sharlon earlier but this issue made me completely 180 on that.

SolomonMars In reply to Peroaks [2011-11-30 00:37:40 +0000 UTC]

oh yah?
that's actually good. i didn't want her to be too likable on first impression.
i wanted her to seem very strict and a bit cold or distant.

i'm happy she could redeem herself. XD

Ventel [2011-11-28 01:18:08 +0000 UTC]

Oh man! This issue is amazing!
Especially when J was slowly transforming! That was really cool!
I always thought that the idea of an inner struggle for a character was interesting!

SolomonMars In reply to Ventel [2011-11-28 13:26:06 +0000 UTC]

soooopa thanks dude.
yah... inner struggles are always good to work with.
we all can understand on some level.
and all the characters have something or somethings they are dealing with.

Ventel In reply to SolomonMars [2011-12-01 03:50:01 +0000 UTC]

Now that I think about, inner struggles helps to define the characters morality.

So I guess it wouldn't be a generic concept for an OC to have since it's something we face everyday!

TheAntimonyElement [2011-11-27 17:23:52 +0000 UTC]

Aaah, this issue is amazing! Love the flashbacks, I feel so bad for them both...and I love seeing more of Jeph and his grandma's backstories. Also, that page where we get a closeup of the skull, with the three glowing blue eyes...FANTASTIC. Creepy as hell, and fantastic. Love this, can't wait for more! ;D

Great! This was very filling can't wait for the next one!
Also I like the soldiers, COBRA! lol
I hope you get it...

SolomonMars In reply to S3nToros [2011-11-28 13:02:07 +0000 UTC]

cool. i wasn't sure if this issue would feel short or not.
it felt short to me when making it. it might be that 4 stories were told so each part got only a small bit of my time.
maybe... hm...

hahaha awesome!
i totally get the cobra reference
those guys were sooooo inspired by cobra soldiers XD

i love cobra so much i made stamps like last year or so -->[link] [link] [link]

hehehe
little jeph.
he has a big lollipop head XD

i reorganized this flashback.
it was originally going to happen way back in issue 9a
but it just didn't fit with the other things going on in the story.
so i pushed it here until after i had introduced thee council. C:
