Looking for Arwel

Hey everyone!
We'd like to thank you for all the support we've gotten so far!
And keep in mind that every time the total amount pledged reaches a $1000 milestone on KICKSTARTER, we release a new page, no matter what day of the week it is :)

Sorry, but I think you misspelled 'councillor' (or 'councilor'). Posted on October 3rd, 2011 at 12:00AM Reply

Hm, it seems that you are correct.
We'll fix this in the morning. Thanks for pointing it out! :) Posted on October 3rd, 2011 at 12:03AM

"Well, Arwel got kidnapped, and judging from his criminal record, we believe he's kidnapped himself".

I love her look in the last panel. I bet the trio has some interesting stories. Posted on October 3rd, 2011 at 01:31AM Reply

Y'know, I'm really tempted to do the $500 donation, but I'm getting the feeling it won't do any good because you guys are still quite far from your goal to make it till next month. :/ And that makes me a bit sad.

Now, when we "pledge" the money on the site, is it taken right then, or is it more like, "pledge the money now, then if the project actually makes it, THEN you pay" type of deal? Posted on October 3rd, 2011 at 05:09AM Reply

Andrew-David replied:

Yeah, you will not be charged unless the campaign reaches its goal successfully.

Copy and paste this link, they explain it better than me I'm sure: http://www.kickstarter.com/help/faq/backing%20a%20project#IfIMakeAPledWhenIsMyCardChar

Also, usually, pledging is what helps us get closer to our goal ;)
If you don't pledge because we're not close enough to our goal, that kind of defeats the purpose of pledging :P

Thanks for your support! Posted on October 3rd, 2011 at 09:04AM

ShadowDragoonFTW replied:

The main reason I was asking about the pledging is that, while I don't have the $500 right now, by the time next month rolls around I will. I'm still debating if I wanna go the full $500, but either way, I think I'll sign up for an account and put in my pledge tonight. Posted on October 3rd, 2011 at 11:38AM

Sounds great! Thanks for the support :) Posted on October 4th, 2011 at 01:43PM

Where did Cyril come from? I get understand we're supposed to assume he's there, but we don't see him until that panel. Posted on October 3rd, 2011 at 08:52AM Reply

Hyperbob said:

Also, the header says "...reaches a $1000 milestone..." in regards to a new page being released, but last time I checked it was $100. Posted on October 3rd, 2011 at 08:54AM Reply

I trust you're kidding. No artist, no matter how wickedly amazeballs they are, could pull that off. :P

Tim replied:

Not sure where the confusion is. Every time we reach $1k, we release a new page. So we release one at $1000, another at $2000, etc. We'll release one as soon as we reach $4000, as well.
Keep in mind that we still release a page every Monday on top of the ones we release when we reach a milestone. Posted on October 3rd, 2011 at 09:38AM

Shadowdragoonftw replied:

His comment was though, that somewhere it says a new page is uploaded every $1000, but on the Donations page here, the counter is counting up to $100. That's one zero difference, and a rather significant one at that.

For example, right now, we're halfway to the next page, but it's saying the dollar amount is sitting at $50. Something's wrong somewhere. Posted on October 3rd, 2011 at 11:42AM

Tim replied:

Ah, the 'Donate' page has been put on hold while we do the Kickstarter. We were releasing 'bonus content' for every $100 we got with donations - for maintaining the site, but the Kickstarter is a different thing entirely. Posted on October 3rd, 2011 at 12:03PM

Andrew-David replied:

Ah, right. On the donations page, we used to release a new free goodie (like a wallpaper) every time the meter reaches $100.

The "new page every $1000" is a different thing entirely that is directly related to the Kickstarter campaign. Posted on October 3rd, 2011 at 01:23PM

So even when they sketch each other they're STILL wearing hoods?

Does anyone in this story EVER take their hood down? It's getting a bit silly, lol. Posted on October 3rd, 2011 at 10:47AM Reply

Ingmaster replied:

You see Ariel without a hood on multiple occasions. Check the previous comic. Posted on October 3rd, 2011 at 10:56AM

Shadowdragoonftw replied:

And that dead guy. What's-his-name. Nobody wants to turn out like those two. That's why they keep their hoods up all the time. Yup. Just look at the dummies who put their hoods down. One's a stone statue, the other's possessed. Mmmmhm. Posted on October 3rd, 2011 at 11:43AM

I have to say, I love Mar's "let's have a little talk" face in panel four. "Ah, convenient and totally-randomly-picked-I-swear student! Let's talk about completely innocent things! Like, oh, I dunno, who this student is!" Posted on October 3rd, 2011 at 03:36PM Reply

Cyril is great at drawing :)

By the way, how long does it take to
draw one page?

Andrew-David replied:

It usually depends on the complexity of the page, and on the amount of time we're able to put into the page. It could be 2 days, it could be 1 week. Posted on October 4th, 2011 at 09:57AM

Will a new page be posted soon because you reached another $1000? Posted on October 4th, 2011 at 08:43PM Reply

No, just all the good-sounding fantastical names have already been taken :P I only read the first 2 books back in high school lol don't remember them at all. Posted on October 4th, 2011 at 09:18PM
