Defining "Otherkin"

[frameacloud]

New comic will appear on January 23rd, 2006.

Yes, it's a brand-new, fully-finished comic this time! I've been working with the time management schedules, as promised, and it's helped me work the comic into my time a bit better. I found that laying out, drawing, lettering, and inking today's comic took five hours total... not counting the preliminary sketches, and the cleanup and tinting that I did after I scanned it into the computer. Writing the script doesn't even count into the time in this instance, since it's a guest script. Thanks, Baxil!

Indeed, yes, recurring characters are happening!

The humanoid in the foreground with the strange ears previously appeared as a faerie, but the wings didn't make it into this comic. (Due to artistic licence and forgetfulness, not injury.) You're right, though, those are very dragonish ears.

Don't bother trying to check the gender of any of the recurring characters; so far, most of them are indistinct. :) I'm leaving that detail to be figured out later, as their personalities develop with further appearances.

Hmm. If recurring characters are in the offing, how about a cast page?

Drat. >.=.< My bad. Do apologize to xir for me, I'd feel a bit mortified if I mistook someone's otherness in person.

Eh I mistook somebody for something else once. Told them recently and they cracked up about it.

I'm really enjoying that so many of the characters are quite androgenous. Surprisingly enough, it doesn't stand out at all and seems completely normal until you try to describe someone as "him/her".

Neat!
