Apologies for the delay on this page! It was a difficult one. And sorry, Holland, it seems your free flow of information stops here. FYI: Meela wouldn't have answered anyway ;P
We've also noticed a lot of you are contemplating the importance of the bead jewelry you've seen various characters wearing. We just wanted to let you know that there is no significance to it. Beaded jewelry is simply popular among lupians, so it's not uncommon to see them wearing it.
I love how Holland’s acting sort of like how a mother (or, really, a general parental figure) would in the last panel. I can’t count all the times my mom had to yell some variant of that same message to me when I was younger.
Same here. Meela running off like that just seems to be the perfect scenario for her getting into trouble. Let’s just hope she doesn’t get TOO far from Feral and Holland…
I think the reason is connected to her birthday. People in her fathers side of family must have something that happens or develops that scares people when they turn that certain age. That is just my guess though~
like a rite of passage… the demon side flares to life and a battle over the body ensews, survive, (once known)you’re still hunted. or complete possession…which upon discovery leads to certain, and immediate death at the hands of demon hunters. That’s just my guess…
Of course, this speculation would be easier if we knew the actual nature of demons. All we really know is that one looked like a dragon and they can breed with any race in any form. We don’t know how far they influence their line of offspring or what that influence takes form as. Her birthday could just mean that Meela gets a surge in her magic that makes it really obvious something’s off about her.
I cant help but think of that guy on page 79 who knew meela, he also had blue eyes, even though I dont think he was a Lupian…but maybe there is some sort of a connection
He does have something to do in all of this… but i highly doubt it is because he has blue eyes. He was human and as we know, blue eyes are not uncommon. Blue eyes are very uncommon in the Lupian race, and im sure uncommon a few others. But that only has to do with genes and probably not anything else ;)
You’re right, it probably means nothing. Holland has blue eyes too, if anyone has noticed, but that doesn’t mean he’s connected to Meela and her family. I think the blue eyes is just a coincidence.
Stevie
Haha I kind of meant maybe there was some connection to how her father and brother died, because he knew her as a child looking around the same age as she did on recent pages.
Hrrrmmm… lets look at all the possibilities for what could have happened to Meelas mom..
1) she died of something unrelated to the plot (highly doubt lol) ex) falling off a cliff LOL
2) Her fellow bounty hunter peeps or boss found out she didn’t do her job, and what she REALLY did. For that, she was killed (pretty sure she put up a good fight if so :().
3)Her fellow bounty hunter peeps or boss found out she didn’t do her job, and what she REALLY did. For that, she was captured and put into jail (as punishment or possibly bait), this means she could be alive somewhere in the present, either in jail or free. She could have died in jail, escaped, was set free, who knows. Reasons for why she didn’t return if she was free somehow could be that taht is what people wanted to find the families location, or she heard about what happened :/. Maybe BRAINWASHED xD lol.
4) she’s a selfish bitch
….. LOL well whatever the reason, i hope we do find out. Not sure if we will though. Could be one of those unsolved mysteries that algy and cel will trololololo about xD
there are other possibility’s you haven’t mentioned that could have possibly happened. A lot of them are not suitable for a PG-13, R, or even NC-17 comic, so I won’t say them…
Thought i should also comment on the page Xd.
WOW, awesome detail girls!! You two never settle for less, and i like that!
I wonder if Meela with find other kids to interact with here :o, set Cuteness to the MAX!!
That second panel cracks me up–too slow, Holland. I wonder if Meela wouldn’t answer because she doesn’t want to or just because she doesn’t know.
Beautiful page, as always–I like how the bright fall colors compliment the down to earth appearance of the market. My bet is, Meela’s going to get herself into debt again/ try to trade something of greater worth for a shiny weapon or trinket before Feral intervenes.
Wow, the care you give to the artwork really pays off. That market scene is gorgeous! I really love the little details like the fallen leaves gathering in the awnings. So beautiful!
Wait there are Lupians AND actual pets, like dogs? I don’t know why I never realized that before… It kind threw me off when I saw the dog in the market. XP
But on a more serious note, great page!! Can I just say again how much I love everyone’s outfits?? I want every single one Meela wears! <3
Wait, why are there animals…and yet there are animals? Like, do the pigs, dogs, and chickens also transform like Meela and the others or is that only reserved for certain species?
As far as we know, there are cervians (deer people) lephians (bunny people) lupians, vulpians, and felinians. Technically, these kinds of people that can transform into animals are a separate species from the actual animals (that is to say, there are regular wolves as well as lupians and so on for the others.)
I don’t know, there could be feral pig or chicken people somewhere if the authors want to introduce them, but I don’t know about dogs since they’re domesticated wolves.
Well, an interesting backstory for everyone… exactly what is going to happen?
WAIT!!! Don’t tell me! I want to find out for me self, whats so great about being told every detail? What gravity might consume one to tell all their innards right forth?
i noticed how all of your cat/wolf type characters have black lidded eyelids, like some animals do, how do you do that, whenever i draw, it looks like mascara.
I just make the lines around they’re eyes thicker in different ways. Males tend to have a thicker “tear” drop while females have thicker eye ‘wings’ (like when applying eye shadow; Meela has this as a perfect example). It’s natural to their skin around their eyes just like in real animals. One can still apply makeup too.

Pft, I was also wondering that Holland. Doesn’t look like we’ll get the information, yet. xD
HaloOkami
Has anyone noticed how pink Meela’s cheeks are? HaloOkami
Amaranthia
And of course they just HAD to reach the market just as Holland asked the most important question. *sigh* more cliffhangers…
Earthstarthekitty
She wouldnt have answerd anyway.
dragonia
No! Bad Meela! No distractions! Answer the question! XD
Shania
nooooooo! i need to know why!!!!! T.T that isn’t fair!!!

Meela! Stay on topic!

now we know something bad’s going to happen -.-

We didn’t already?

That middle panel is awesome, gals!
And of course we’d have to wait for that answer… :P

That’s hilarious XD

I love how feral is just casually chilling lol
ajbluesox
AMAZING
Riku
I feel like Holland is the dotting mother and Feral is the silent but firm father and Meela is their adorable, yet wild child.
Eviana
Wow!
Love all that detail!!!! It takes ages to fill out!
Melimeli
I anticipate trouble with her running off.

You know what that probably means.
Her mother is still alive.
…That’s my guess, anyway.
Fallenskye
…lol. Last panel: I thought, Holland, that`s totally something my mum would say…er, ten years ago.
And then that train of thought just gave me a really weird mental image…
Sherani-Devi
Oooh, I hate you for leaving us without that answer!
(Well, not really… I love you guys, you’re awesome^^)
Safiyah
That’s too awesome!! I love the market!! We might get to see some interesting folks!! 8D
I’d like some more teammates to tag along. But there aren’t too many colours left… I guess we still have white, or black, or pink… DX
Safiyah
I also noticed, between panels 1 and two, Holland’s hair switches direction!! XD
arthour
Eeeee! Another great page! Why can’t Meela answer the question!! Ahhhh, will just have to wait…..
Jukarre
Awesome page !! :D
(I instantly spotted the weapon stand) O_O

i instantly noticed that the dog must be well fed if he’s not trying to catch some of those plump chickens!
great page guy’s.
Jukarre
Haha I didn’t even notice the dog XD
Toz
“we never found out what happened to her.”
No body means she might not be dead…but why never come home? Huzzah for theory crafting.
Hilo
Oh no, she’s not going to stay close. She’s going to explore, and then get caught. And poor Holland will never get his answer.

this comic tries to stay PG right?
DreamBoyMal
They’re not afraid of depicting bloody violence. I’d say it’s more PG-13, if you want to use film terminology.
The fact of the matter, though, is that we simply don’t know where this is going–so I’d hold out on making any firm judgments just yet.
pink4never
hmmmm…..
Option #5: Meela’s mom is still alive, and Meela finds her, but later on her mom dies somehow and Meela is left alone again
Irishxlily
Thought i should also comment on the page Xd.
WOW, awesome detail girls!! You two never settle for less, and i like that!
I wonder if Meela with find other kids to interact with here :o, set Cuteness to the MAX!!
HuntedByTheMoon
Holland: “Stay close to us!”
Meela: runs away and won’t be seen for a while
Is it just me, or do you also feel a lot of trouble coming ahead?
zwaan-cride
:) cute trouble. Meela can perfect it. :)
DreamBoyMal
Personally, I’ve suspected as much ever since it was first announced that they would be going to the market…but WHAT kind of trouble?
That’s the million-dollar question. XD
Wolfrider
The Meela type of trouble that causes bad things to happen.
thelightedDarkness
Woah… I see what you meant by “detail heavy”
And, I hope you’re feeling better, Algy.
But, this page… Woah. Just woah.

The market is awsome!!

Meela you are too cute, I just wanna hug you and take you shopping!
Maestro
I’m sorry but, am I the only one who can’t see this page? All that will load is the paw print thumbnail, yet all other pages will load?
Mary
Of course, if her father was the last survivor of some line or another, exterminating it naturally required the kids too.
And the mother, just in case she was pregnant.
zwaan-cride
quite possibly. although, for some reason, I think Rolan was taken by surprise.
Time
Exactly what Meela said… WHOA!!! You guys actually DREW that?! XDD
