Man, where to begin on this one. Firstly, I was elated to see Teeva, and even more so to hear her say "bitchin'est"
Made my day then and there. XD
Heh heh! Thanks a lot, Relent! I almost didn't use the phrase, that apostrophe makes it look so weird in print! Glad I did, though... it's the perfect adjective to describe the Danneskold, the most lawless, most fun party ship of all time and the perfect spot for Teeva to explore! Working with Deeto's and Bombers' wild concepts has been a genuine pleasure... I can't begin to thank them enough for the privilege!
It was nice seeing you cameo in your own work again, as well. And a stirring speech to boot. I'm looking forward to seeing this grand rebellion of yours in fruition. And the spinster; the way you two go back and forth, I'd think you were married! lmao
Yeah, it's
way past time LBH got back into the mix! He's supposed to be a major player in the story, but you'd never know it by the focus he's gotten lately! Well, Sid's going low profile for awhile... plenty of time for my fictional doppelganger to catch up!
Married to the Spinster... eeeech! You couldn't call her Spinster anymore I suppose... but a nag by any other name would yell and screech! I was eager to have at least one dominant female amongst the bogeys, who seem to be mostly guys for some reason. I'll have to work on that...
These tales tempt me further to read on, but like a caterpillar at the end of a limb, I have to wait for it to grow before I can progress. I'll continue to wait, even if I should grow wings before the next chapter is done. ^__^
I know... it sure do grow slow! Recently it's taken me an extra month to produce new chapters, just because it's such a grind to start the process up all over again. I will try to get the production process back on track... we should have at least one more chapter before the end of the year, regardless!
LBH... Today, I have read something so wonderful and so glorious...and it is call the low roads chapter 19.
I totally love this chapter, first off yes I already told you that how I felt when you told me how Teeva was going to be portrayed, but to see it visually is just too good. You did an excellent job, from the white of her hair, to the white of her soles! The green skin which you often comment on has been done exceptionally well too! That outfit shall hereby be an official outfit of Teeva's at some point in time in the future...
Thanks a million, Bombers! I was so delighted to get the chance to work with your peerless lime lady... I'm tremendously grateful you gave me the opportunity! Your good guidance early on was invaluable... I'm very pleased I was able to execute all your suggestions sufficiently well! As to her outfit, I poured over your collection of past renderings and took great inspiration from her existing wardrobe! I would indeed love to see your take on this newest couture... it would be an enormous honor!
I really love the picto language you gave her... and her dialog is wonderfully done, especially with Cap'n Dusty, shooting back and forth! It's wonderful to have Dusty try to seem tough, promising a stay of demanding slavery for Teeva, only to have Teeva brushing it off and welcoming it all entirely! You've captured the attitude of the princess to the T...for Teeva that is!
Oh, I know how well beauteous Teeva delights to the lure of our beloved fetish! Her biography glories in a thousand such examples! I'm very glad you liked the alien pictographic language! I've wanted to do that with someone for a long time, and Teeva presented the perfect opportunity! And pairing her up with Dusty seemed like such a natural idea; I just couldn't resist that! Trading barbs is just their way of making sweet talk... those two are perfect compliments for one another!
I love the Doc's interpretations of what Teeva is saying... taking advantage of sephie's lack of knowledge of the alien dialect to settle any unethical doubt! Wonderfully humorous!
Thank you! The Low Roads series is so deadly serious so much of the time... I don't dare let a chance for humor escape! Doc Putsy sure isn't above twisting the dialogue to get the results he wants! Poor Sephie just has to sit there slack-jawed... an uncomfortable attitude for any control freak!
and goodness! that tendril did a fine job on Teeva's foot... I love how it wraps around the foot, clamping hold of it prey and steadily going to work! I couldn't imagine how much more of Teeva's end of the research could have been hasten, or intensified, if both feet had been used! I bet a whole dissertation could be wrote using the sole acreage that Teeva holds under study! I guess Doc was being nice...or maybe both just could not fit in the box! HA HA!
Yeah, I think the latter consideration is probably the true one... Putsy doesn't seem to be drenched in the milk of human kindness! Knowing Teeva, a double-dose is just the sort of treatment she'd probably long for most... restricting the torment to only one foot was likely the real agony for her!
I love the microscopic close ups as well, never has the sole of Teeva ever been seen in such high definition! How insidious to have the tendril not only stroking the soft outside flesh, but invading the inner workings that bring the lovely princess to such joyous situations as well! I'm fascinated by such thorough tickling to where the nerve endings themselves get the full effect! Teeva is definitely taking notes...
I'm so gratified that the magnification idea came across clearly! I was afraid that my limitations at drawing cells and nerve ends might cause confusion, but your clear, concise description sets my mind fully at rest! The gimmick of making the blue-tentacled attack nematocystic in nature is one I'd been toying with for several years... it actually pre-dates the Low Roads series (it was something I was playing around with while trying to devise a fetish comic concept). Glad to get it established at last... it's sort of gotten a load off! And it's so nice that Teeva could be instrumental! I'll bet she really was taking notes, probably while the abuse was taking place!
But i'm afraid it's nothing Teeva can't handle... she could probably give every voluptuary in the low roads universe a huge run for their money...
That I don't doubt for an instant! Teeva's had a whole cosmos of experience to gauge this experience against! A tiny corner of one small planet might offer a new twist, but only one amongst jillions! It pays to be a traveler, to seek out new experience! And no one quests after fetish pleasures more keenly than Teeva!
The Doc is a mad one...mad for tickling lovable ticklees and mad for his creations! I almost feel sorry for the separated creation of his getting various body parts tickled and there's no way to provide protection...indeed a mad Doc... borderline bogey!!!
Since those disengaged limbs and torsos have never known any sensation besides tickling assault, it may be the manna that nourishes them best! If Putsy ever stitched them into a whole, he might have a fetish beast par excellence! That might make for an entertaining side story, in fact...
Simon Putsy is actually one of my most ancient comix character, dating back to my grade school days (mid to late '60s). He never went by that name, although I always had it in reserve... the comic was called "The Master and Igor", and he was never known as anything but The Master. Below are three pages from the various existing comix. I'm afraid many of them have been lost over the years. Ichabod (from Professor Feare's troupe) and von Smutt also stem from this source... I'm never above plundering my own past!
I have a question though... what is that interesting glove on her left hand? I'm rattling my brain trying to figure what it's for...function of fashion?
Okay, I thought that glove might cause confusion! It was meant to be the remnant of a flight suit, one which Teeva would have worn as she piloted her disc ship and which became shredded during the crash. Putsy was so lackadaisical putting her into restraints, he never stripped away this leftover. Dusty wears something similar... the one-piece coat-and-gloves affair. Probably the briefest, most useless flight jacket imaginable!
I could go on for hours saying stuff about Teeva and how much of a good job you've done with her...but I want to make some other comments! I love how page 5 starts. I could just imaging faint laughter emanating from that hole from afar in panel one, echoes of louder laughter in the second panel and final the party of laughter in the third! Brilliant "camera" set up!
Thanks! I'm glad you like that! I like unusual view-point setups, although they sometimes prove a challenge to draw (everything always seems so easy in the thumbnails!) The entry to Spinster's lair needed dramatic flourish, especially since so much exposition was going to be rattled off. Gotta grab people's attention so they don't snooze!
and is that a pair of nude breast I spy in the last page?! Interesting! I've never seen before nudity in your artwork... not that it's a bad thing to have it now though...
There sure hasn't been a whole lot of it! Full frontal nudity
has sneaked in from time to time, but it's always been abstracted (seen at a distance, at an oblique angle, or as statuary, etc.). There was no way to capture the raw, unrestrained nature of TIS without being bold, though! Even then, the scene is abstracted with cool blue monochromatic coloring, as though it was a potential and not an actuality. Anyways, I need to loosen things up a bit before Kitchenaut's Fox Sisters cameo... he's very keen to see bare breasts on the page, and I'm most eager to oblige!
To see you making a cameo is always great! I particularly enjoy seeing you spitting out your ominous power amongst the malignant crowed below, and the exposure of certain weaknesses show that even the great LBH is vulnerable... it's totally wonderful character development that keeps growing better and better with each chapter!
Thanks once again! This series will live or die on the strength of its cast, so I couldn't be happier to hear that!
I was anxious that there should be a good measure of give-and-take in the LBH/Spinster exchange, that no one should come out a clear winner. I really want there to be suspense about which side holds the advantage in this conflict... the more uncertainty, the better! And it's rather dull to present characters without some vulnerabilities... weaknesses tend to provide the best shading and depth!
I can't thank you enough for putting Teeva in your masterful series... If I may borrow a line from the chapter...
"hooligans on my home-world swiftly discover the weighty repayment such outrageous hassling provokes!"
No truer words have been said... There is repayment to be had!
For this LBH.... Teeva will definitely provide repayment, you can doubly count on that! Such hospitality in the Low Roads given to royalty shouldn't go with an equal return of the favor! I've started on something long ago for you when you pitched the idea of Teeva in the Low Roads...but now seeing how wonderful this has turned out, I'm definitely gonna make it super special...
What a mouth-watering prospect! You've already treated Mercy to magnificent portraiture (her sparkling return to Chapter 2 glories under your tutelage is truly unforgettable imagery!)... a chance for even more Bombers homage is mind-blowing beyond imagination! The hooligan known as LBH could never have hassled to better effect!
Now... I'm off to re-read this chapter again!
Chapter 19 is destined to become one of my all-time favorites as well! Two wonderful guests brighten up bleak Tabor County with their unsurpassed green/violet graciousness! A sin to have them for so short a time... a luminous blessing they should visit here at all!
