I'm guessing it's sort of a supernatural neighborhood watch? Perhaps a bit more organized than that, but in a world like Autumn Bay, you need all the help you can get.

you're on the right path of thinking, Mike! The exact definition of what they do will be made clear...

I love that house still. Gosh, I don't think I saw it this finalized- beautiful~ :D

And 'Shadowlight League' is just badass

Thanks!

The name of the League has been with us for a while now. And it only took 30 pages on this version to mention it...

Yes. The Shadowlight League IS badass.

Great job on that first panel! Probably one of the most polished pages I've seen from you yet overall, too.

Professor Etheric 11th Dec 2015, 12:57 AM

Thankies!

The split panel was an idea I had and HAD to run with!

Professor Etheric 11th Dec 2015, 6:22 PM

Thanks! I'm trying to do more establishing shots to give that good Autumn Bay flavor.

Ooh, The Shadowlight League sound very cool and mysterious. Maybe their a midnight softball league? XD

Professor Etheric 11th Dec 2015, 10:27 AM

That... that's a very... interesting thought. Sadly, no. Autumn Bay is not a sports manga... :P

Thank you, Pony! And we will see more of Gabby (she hates it when people call her that, though.. :P)

SarahSophia 11th Dec 2015, 3:53 PM

I just call her "Chief", or "Professor" when I'm at school.

This might be a random thing to comment about, but her hair in the last panel looks amazing.

I think I recognize this place and the names. Or I could be faking memories again. Either way, I have a feeling we'll be seeing more of the Shadowlight League. (I almost wanted to call it the Shadowlight lodge for some reason. Maybe too much Twin Peaks.

edit delete reply

Professor Etheric 11th Dec 2015, 9:56 PM

Yeah... not Lodge...

(There have been things with Lodge in the name, but never Shadowlight...)

I saw your guest page on 'Datachasers' and thought I'd check you out. I'm definitely intrigued. I'm a fan of the supernatural, wizardry, Lovecraftian, spooky stuff, so this is right up my alley. I'm bookmarking this strip for future reading. Best of luck with it.

Professor Etheric 11th Dec 2015, 11:48 PM

Glad you decided to check it out! I hope you like what you see going forward (and we have PLENTY of the stuff you mentioned!

Hrm...I'm wondering if The Shadowlight League and my own Twilight Trust should compare notes!

Professor Etheric 12th Dec 2015, 10:45 AM

Perhaps they should... :)

argylefox 12th Dec 2015, 5:12 AM

That first panel looks great!

And here we introduce a whole set of Players...

Professor Etheric 12th Dec 2015, 10:47 AM

Thanks!

And yes, these are major players... :)

NeilKapit 12th Dec 2015, 6:32 PM

The loose, Global Frequency-style organization of all these disparate specialists was one of the things I loved most about the first Autumn Bay. Glad its still in place in the reboot.

edit delete reply

Professor Etheric 12th Dec 2015, 6:54 PM

I'm glad you're glad! It IS still in place, but we're going to see them a little more in depth as we go forward before introducing too many other groups.

Shadowlight league? I hope they keep the balance between the elements... Nah! Who am I kidding? Problems are the best XD

edit delete reply

Professor Etheric 20th Nov 2017, 11:31 AM

The Shadowlight League is so named because they are "a light in the shadows". :)

Oh, indeed! I didn't think that way! :D
