AND that above comment was from me… I didn't realize that I wasn't signed in. ;-)

Professor Etheric 4th Oct 2015, 12:05 PM edit delete reply

'Salright, Rd! It happens to the best of us.

Check back in the not too distant future to see the first page! :P

Centcomm 4th Oct 2015, 12:05 PM edit delete reply

Looking good so far ! ( did something happen to the website? ) Never mind.. it just took a few moments to load.

Professor Etheric 4th Oct 2015, 12:06 PM edit delete reply

I was messing around with it and somehow managed to nuke the background. Hopefully everything is fixed now. :P

And thnakies!

Professor Etheric 4th Oct 2015, 12:13 PM edit delete reply

Thankies! And yes, yes I have!

Stever 4th Oct 2015, 12:11 PM edit delete reply

Looks like they're gaping at something important. ;D

Love the Big Trouble reference.

Professor Etheric 4th Oct 2015, 12:14 PM edit delete reply

To be fair, this scene takes a little bit to get to, but yes, what they see IS important.

And Big Trouble is one of my favorite films OF ALL TIME. :)

MadJak91 4th Oct 2015, 12:20 PM edit delete reply

That feeling when you know a bit more and why they are like that ;)

Also, that pic is something that can be cropped and used as a reaction meme :D
No offense of course!

BRING IT!

Professor Etheric 4th Oct 2015, 12:32 PM edit delete reply

No offense taken, my friend! I would be honored if the kids there ended up in a global (non-offensive) meme!

And yes, you will eventually see why they're responding that way! :P

HeSerpenty 4th Oct 2015, 12:35 PM edit delete reply

And so it begins!! How exciting!!

Professor Etheric 4th Oct 2015, 1:01 PM edit delete reply

YES! Excitement abounds! :)

Are some meddling kids going to die?

Radiant Sophia 4th Oct 2015, 12:59 PM edit delete reply

Noooooooooo! But, interesting stuff IS going to happen to them.

Professor Etheric 4th Oct 2015, 1:02 PM edit delete reply

Well, I'm sure they will die at some point (in the far, far future, one would hope), but Radiant Sophia (my partner in crime) is right. They will decidedly live in interesting times!

Call Me Tom 4th Oct 2015, 2:12 PM edit delete reply

Interesting times?
Now that's a curse!

TheMario360 4th Oct 2015, 2:11 PM edit delete reply

Looks to me like you're trying a slightly different art style with this one.

The hype is real.

Professor Etheric 4th Oct 2015, 3:01 PM edit delete reply

I'm going for a slightly simpler, but more expressive style. And thanks!

Amalockh1 4th Oct 2015, 4:50 PM edit delete reply

I like the new art style :)

Professor Etheric 4th Oct 2015, 5:12 PM edit delete reply

Thanks!

DoryH 4th Oct 2015, 3:10 PM edit delete reply

Way to tease us like that, Prof.
Loving the new art style, it's a significant improvement already.
The three characters you show here are intriguing. Might be a bad hunch, but I get a slight 80s cartoon vibe, possibly due to their clothing and hair style. Are you aiming for a brighter and softer feel than the previous version? Not that it's necessarily a bad thing, either.

Eagerly I wish the morrow.

Professor Etheric 4th Oct 2015, 3:23 PM edit delete reply

Hmm... For fear of possible copyright violations, I tend to refer to them publicly as "meddling kids".

I'm sure there is SOME 1980s cartoon influence, whether I want there to be or not. That was my prime cartoon-watching time.

I just hope all of you enjoy what's coming...

melaredblu 4th Oct 2015, 5:45 PM edit delete reply

I'm sure whatever they're looking at is good. You never do bad things to your characters.

Professor Etheric 4th Oct 2015, 6:16 PM edit delete reply

Don't necessarily count on that...

...but being cruel to teenagers might be mean...

Hmm...

Matt Knab 4th Oct 2015, 5:57 PM edit delete reply

Don't go into the light! Unless there's candy, of course. ;)

Professor Etheric 4th Oct 2015, 6:17 PM edit delete reply

People always tried to give ME candy in the DARK...

QuietClayton 4th Oct 2015, 9:31 PM edit delete reply

Yay and YAY!! I'm anxious for more.

Professor Etheric 4th Oct 2015, 9:38 PM edit delete reply

YAY!

More will come sooner rather than later!

Radiant Sophia 4th Oct 2015, 9:41 PM edit delete reply

SO. VERY. SOON.

NeilKapit 4th Oct 2015, 10:29 PM edit delete reply

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! UUUUUUUUUUUU! AAAAAAAAAA! IIIIIIII!

(this is such a pleasant surprise I have no words, only vowel-sound screams)

Professor Etheric 4th Oct 2015, 10:29 PM edit delete reply

(The next page is very, very soon... like, a little over half an hour...)

Fig 4th Oct 2015, 10:49 PM edit delete reply

Bro. Looks like you did some serious work on your time off. Looks great, man. Excited to see where this goes! Since I never saw much of the original, this is intriguing to me lol.

Professor Etheric 4th Oct 2015, 10:51 PM edit delete reply

Come back in about 11 minutes. and you can see some actual STORY bits. (I hope you like where it goes.)

mjkj 5th Oct 2015, 3:47 AM edit delete reply

Foreboding... :)

argylefox 13th Nov 2015, 10:19 PM edit delete reply

Your quoting one of the true wise masters is most fitting.

Professor Etheric 13th Nov 2015, 10:26 PM edit delete reply

It's a sign of various things. First is that yes, John Carpenter's urban fantasy masterpiece is, in fact, an influence.

Also, Egg Shen IS wise.

Taily 22nd Nov 2015, 8:09 PM edit delete reply

Okay!! Here I go!! Gonna finally read Autumn Bay and comment on like every single page, as is my wont!!

See, I already know this series is going to be good, because it starts off with a Big Trouble in Little China quote. Let's do this.

Professor Etheric 22nd Nov 2015, 8:12 PM edit delete reply

Ah, you are a fan as well? Excellent!

Also, glad to have ya here!
