Happy Monday, guys! Hope you're having a great start to the week so far! :)
I do apologise for not really having any proper explanation for what Allegiance Accessories are before this scene happens. I promise the full significance of this scene will be explained later. For now, you can derive the implications from what's been shown on thesepages.
And I have yet another double update for the redrawing campaign - strips number 16 and 17 are on both DA and Tapastic! The images link to the DA pages.
You can check out the Tapastic links for strip 16 here and strip 17 here~
I also have an announcement. I will be taking a break off of the Wednesday update this week. Sorry about this - I couldn't make a buffer in time and I'm off to my annual church retreat this weekend! ^^; But Friday will update as usual, and I should be back in time to pull off a Monday update - though it'll be a later update than usual for Monday.
Thank you for your patience! :) Have a great week, and see you guys on Friday!
(Please click to go to the DA journal entry that describes this in more detail :) There are also side-by-side panel comparisons in this journal if you'd like to see the difference between the old and redrawn strips!)
Hey guys, if you're checking in for an update, I apologise and remind you that I am taking a break from today's update. :< Sorry about that!
However, I do have a triple-update for the Redrawing the First Chapter Campaign: strips number 18, 19 and 20 are all done, and are on DA and Tapastic! The images link to the DA pages.
You can check out the Tapastic links for strip 18 here, strip 19 here and strip 20 here~
I've been working hard to complete this campaign in time to meet the end of April and it looks like I'll be managing, just barely! XD Strip 21 is the last strip assigned for this campaign! Thank you so much for your support so far, readers~! <3
See you on Friday for a regular update to our current storyline! :)
Meant reveal wise, not just action ^^ Because up until now its been mostly Ren talking and in all honesty i don't trust a word the guy says. I see him as a religious zealot blinded by his faith and commitment to Able. So to see Cain finally chime in is a nice change of pace.Though we might be witnessing the start of a 100 year brawl when 2 white mages try to punch the other out.
What? Slings his chains around Ren's neck and pulls? (No, I don't think that they are loose enough for that.)
On a sidenote: I've got an account now. Even if it's only for commenting and forum use. I couldn't draw to save my life. (Check the Death Kitty band member search if you don't believe me.)
Woah yes. Yes Cain! Stand up for yourself!
It's nice to finally see his side of things. Well, this part, anyways.:D
Gosh Ren is such a drooling Abel fanboy, he needs to chill.
Ohhh man, those last panels. Shit just got real?!
(Hey, I remember those fancy bracelets!)
(Wow you're breezin' through that redraw, huh? :D 3 pages a week, plus remakes, plus amazing fanart...You're not human! I'm onto you!)
Cain has broken something there, yep. Though how Ren will react remains to be seen... ;D
And well, my army of elves do most of the work... And I think I'm human. Most of the time. >_>a lol tbh I am really rushing the redrawn strips now to meet my own self imposed deadline XDDD it's like cramming AHAHAHA so bad
Uh.. I'm afraid that's not the best way of persuading someone Cain. Unless that bracelet binds him with magic, I think it would be better to just stick to convincing words :<
Yeah... I think Cain is normally fairly well contained but this page he's not so much. He can't think straight when his brother is involved, maybe...? :s
I'm with everyone else in that my first thought was it looks like the bracelet was charming Ren and he just snaped out of it, however it could just be shock that Cain would do such a thing and now Ren is about to get go into even more of a range.
Hellu! :)
I think most people will have to either accept that Cain has serious issues (XD) at the very least, ahahaha XD but whether Cain is in the wrong or not... Might depend a lot on how readers interpret things... ;)
I'll just note here that Ren and Cain use past tense and present tense very very particularly for what they say. Cain especially takes care to only use past tense. ;)
Gosh that sixth frame, beautifully drawn! I love the angle and details! Gotta say though, I think Ren is about to flip. I hope Cain is ready for another fight!
Awww, thank you sketchdoll! <3 :D I'm glad the sixth frame works! <333 It was a fun angle to work with and I think it turned out the way I wanted it to <3 ;w;
Incoming White Mage Showdooown! ... maybe. XD;;; MAYBE~~
Oooh, someone who doesn't think Ren is a prat! XD *cheers* Mmm, there is a lot going on under the surface regarding Cain... But yes, he has something Isaac saw as "darkness" for sure. Emo boy, much? XD
Well Something had to snap. Now we'll just see how far. Also if that little gem there was Jinn's soulstone, as around Ren's wrist Would be the safest place to hide it.
Ooh... I think the bracelet is not the only thing that just snapped. And I don't think it was Ren suddenly realising how wrong he was.
More likely we will shortly see just how good white mages are at fisticuffs.
Okay but seriously, it's really neat to see Cain legit pissed at something. The expressions here are so good and wowww that body language. <33
Cain better get punched in the face for that though, that was a big jerk move to rip someone's jewelry, I mean given the rest of the fight it might be appropriate? But this is on a deeper level than self defense in Cain's case, this is vehement.
I wondered once if Cain was really Abel bad vice versa, but in the original story in the bible, Cain was cursed...so maybe not. Abel dies seem weak though, like he's sick or cursed.
But if Cain really is Cain (and he probably is) then I like him. He's a cool guy.
Because honestly, every person can make bad mistakes, and if we're lucky we don't have to pay as drastically as Cain did. Mistakes are normal, and I think how we try to fix them is the most important.

Great one, Rufi
Seems like these bracelets enforce their allegiance...
Who to believe, who to believe, hm...
believe in the power of love
Something had to give I guess...!
Juuust perfect! :D
Btw teach me how to let you guys embed stuff XD; is it an option in my thing? I'll explore it later at home hahaha
Just my opinion.

Hmm, low blows... It's complicated, to say the least! >_>a
Abel has a matching accessory. XD; Though it would certainly be an unexpected place to hide such a thing!
the end. sorry for invading the comments section. carry on.
More likely we will shortly see just how good white mages are at fisticuffs.

For sure, Cain did something that seems pretty darn petty. >_> Hmmmm. Did he really have a good reason or is he just a petty dude? XD;;
(And was Cain jerkface enough for ya Spellu? XD Prolly not lol)
Although, I'm glad we get to see this side of him too. :D
But ahaha, it does seem to please people to see Cain angry XDDD maybe I should create more situations where he flips his lid more often...
(In the distance, Cain's voice can be faintly heard yelling 'DON'T ENCOURAGE HER')
But if Cain really is Cain (and he probably is) then I like him. He's a cool guy.

Everyone makes mistakes and Cain is certainly no exception. Though indeed, what has he been doing since...? ;)
