A fantasy webcomic!

A Quick FAQ

Hello! This is the tumblr blog for Aurora, a fantasy webcomic that updates MWF. Sometimes I post other things that breach containment.

You can read the comic HERE.

If the site is misbehaving, I have the whole thing mirrored starting HERE. The latest page can be found at this post HERE.

I get a decent number of asks that either I’ve already answered or I can't really answer for various reasons. Let's round 'em up and categorize them for efficiency and future reference!

What program/tablet do you use for the comic?

I use Clip Studio Paint EX. It’s great, but a little expensive. The drawing tablet I use is a Huion H610PRO.

Can you tell me everything there is to know about {thing/people in world}?

Short answer: No.

Long answer: No, because it's likely that, if it doesn't matter to the story, I haven't fully worldbuilt it out, and I don't want to lock something in that might become a problem later as the story develops. I'm writing a story, not a wiki, and to an extent I want to keep my options open so I can come up with Cool Stuff in future without opening up plot holes. And if it DOES matter to the story, we're most likely gonna find out anyway, making this Potential Spoiler Territory.

What kinds of things exist in this world? Does {thing} exist in this world?

Same as above. I'm writing a story, not a wiki. If it matters, we'll see it eventually. If it doesn't, it's probably not super fleshed out right now. I don't want to lock in absolute answers to questions I haven't fully considered. Also, on the most basic level, this universe works totally differently from reality, so there’s no reason to expect that familiar things from our universe would have easy parallels in this universe.

Can you give me details about the language of this world?

No, because I didn't build an actual conlang, because I tried once and got bored in five minutes.

Why doesn’t {thing in world} conform to the real-world laws of physics and/or thermodynamics?

Because it’s a fictional fantasy world, and I didn’t spend years working towards my math degree so I could spend my relaxing writing and art time doing more math.

Can you give me spoilers?

No. What? No.

longshot97 asked:

It's been twice that we've seen Falst fighting while a scream bubble shows him letting out a war-cry. Do you imagine that as a fairly standard human scream, a guttural, ear-splitting leonin roar, or something in-between?

You know how in Gargoyles sometimes they let the gargoyles do like animal-growls.mp3 and sometimes for extra sauce they'll layer the growls.mp3 over the voice actor howling? That's the vibe

thegoopershome asked:

At this latest OSPOD you mentioned the phenomenon that as soon as you get into a web comic or something and tell people the creator suddenly finds Christ or wherever and stops, and I instantly thought he back Stand Still, Stay Silebt, a comic which you led me too and which I loved as a Swede.

me too 🥲

brackenstripe asked:

commenters on the pages keep referring to alinua as alinua ex machina and it makes me laugh. fellas is it a deus ex machina for the girl who has been here the entire plot to arrive

accurate though. cant wait for alinua ex machina💯

it's gotta feel so good to be the character who's powerful enough that just showing up to the hangout feels like a deus ex machina

2.8.12 - Aurora

last time on Dragon Ball Z

and the timelines finally realign

re: alt text on monday's page - "pootoo dragon perfec t for put protagonist in to" - I thought for the next day that Kendal was going to end up traveling in Aquilias's mouth, considering how large potoo mouths look, so, without further ado,

pootoo dragon perfec t for put protagonist in to n\ap! inside very Safe and Contained swordsman sleep soundly captive in Potoo Dragon Mouth. Put Swordsman in Dragon Mouth. no problems ever in draggon mouth because good Shape and Support for swordsman arm break of protagonist arm. Adragon Mouth yes a place for a protagonist put protagonist in pootoo dragon can trust dragon for traveling safe with swordsman. friend dragon.

welp I'm convinced!

eldritch-vibe asked:

i followed the comic borderline religiously back in high school until it was cruelly banned on the school laptops and I just couldn't adapt to reading it on mobile because it just wasn't a big enough screen to appreciate it but now im getting my own computer and I couldn't be more excited to work through the backlog. following this blog has given me the most delicious glimpses of things to come and I'm thrilled to be back on the big screen

I have done only nice things to the characters while you were away :)

lunarscyphozoa asked:

Is the majority of the Paladin army not from a place where Vash is heard of? Their archive being located so close to the city of Vash makes it seem unlikely no one is suspicious of that sword-guy-combo, do they just not care about other gods?

News that isn't directly relevant to the high-level paladin telepaths travels slow, and Vash has only been leveled for a few weeks with no surviving eyewitnesses to explain the Collector in any detail. Zuurith and his people have heard the news about the city's fall, so the paladins have heard about it too, but it's not relevant to their Singular Task.

Besides, this guy can't be Vash - he's way too far away from his city, he's nowhere near glowy enough, he's DEFINITELY not damage-resistant enough, and why would a city god care about something like this? Guys with swords are a dime a dozen, and gods can look like anything.

some-random-guy-987654321 asked:

Ever noticed that Falst and Sun Wukong look a bit similar?

we're all trying to find the guy that drew this

#asks #aurora #not aurora #both at once somehow

2coldforyouhere asked:

When he said a servant does he mean like a summoned servant

Nope, he means Kendal is clearly being controlled or manipulated by the Dark Avatar, making him a servant to the enemy. Jury's out on what exactly he thinks Kendal is, but he's assuming mortality at a baseline.

stackof17pancakes asked:

What kind of creature is Aquilis? Gryphon? Weird-lookin dragon?

Aquilis is a dragon, specifically a Storm Drake!

They're typically covered in a mix of metallic feathers and scales, their horns are metallic and sometimes branch, and they have four wings and four eyes. They're primarily influenced by Wind and Lightning. Features-wise they can stray somewhat far from the typical lizard-esque dragon, and birdlike beaks aren't uncommon.

fiend-shaped asked:

I saw the total eclipse today and it was beautiful, but i assume you're getting inundated with pictures of it, so have a setting partial eclipse instead!
