Chapter: Mile High Engage

+22

if you’ll recall

Oscar Crooks

Is Ulrich about to command? I feel like he’s about to play his trump card and it’s gonna hurt. Hopefully Phineas will still be in good shape to fight hazard.

Also just curious, is there some kind of white mage in the Kidd Commander universe? Ulrichs ear looks pretty mangled and I wonder if he can find someone to fix it. Preeeeety sure band-aid ain’t gonna fix that.

  There are definitely those kinds of healers out there! He lost that part of his ear a long time ago though, and unfortunately this kind of wound would have needed immediate attention to be restored anywhere close to normal. He’s adapted though, it doesn’t hurt and obviously he’s figured out how to make the most of it.
  
  I think some people got the impression his ear was torn right here in the present moment, which is likely due to my own artistic shortcomings hahaha. Sorry about that! When things calm down I’ll make sure we get a clearer look at this detail.
  - Oscar Crooks
    
    Hmmm if that’s the case then I wonder how his ear got torn up? Looking forward to reading Ulrich’s backstory!
    
    Thanks for your time!

Desperate it might be, but I think el Tainio might be in for a surprise if I know anything about how you write and I think I do, not going to say the direction it’ll come from but…

Ulrich speech bubble in panel 2 has got two (what do you call that?), well, “arrows”, like the tain’s ones. Is that on purpose? I mean, the other ones on the page, and before, are single, so, could it be a mistake?… If it’s on purpose, I wonder what it means… Wait and see…
- Aria
  
  Definitely a mistake, thank you for pointing it out!
  - caribouchat
    
    Waoh, that was quick!

      TWC is actually a pretty good way to bring in new folks, but my current readership is so small that I don’t get enough votes to really make a difference haha. But any little bit is helpful, if it’s something you’d be inclined to do I’d definitely appreciate it!
      - caribouchat
        
        Mmm… Well, I wouldn’t mind to vote every day (I always like to re-read the last page two or three times anyway, sometimes more when I like it a lot), but frankly, the very small vote button being top of the page doesn’t help, and a little vote incentive, even if you never change it, even if we already saw it somewhere, would really make a difference… You really deserve a larger readership, so, imho, it’s worth the work it would cost you…
      - Aria
        
        Yeah I know what you’re saying, I don’t push that kind of stuff as much as I should just because I know a lot of people who do it badly and it’s ended up feeling kinda sleazy to me heh. BUT I also know that’s something I need to get over if I want to get anywhere I suppose.
        
        As far as rewards go I definitely wouldn’t mind putting in the work, I just never thought it would make much of a difference since I like to give all my stuff away for free anyway? I have an enormous amount of concept art that goes on twitter and nowhere else though, maybe people would like to see some of that stuff.
        
        You’ve given me things to consider, thank you! I’ll look into it and maybe make some changes when I have a moment.
      - caribouchat
        
        I know what you mean, I’ve seen that sometimes, but I’m sure *you* can do it real nice… And just making it easier to vote could in no way end up sleazy, imho. But of course *you*’re the captain here! That was just a tiny piece of advice…
      - Aria
        
        I really appreciate it! I’m always trying to figure out better ways to do things so feedback like this is reeeeally helpful, thanks a lot for taking the time to tell me.
      - caribouchat
        
        It’s not for the reward, by the way, it’s because TWC website is really sad and agressive, and seing that ugly page after voting is depressing ;-).

I guess the Tain doesn’t know that “desperate” isn’t a color . . . not so smart, Tain, not so smart after all. Maybe that should be “yellow-urple”…
