And that's a wrap for this week! I hope you guys enjoyed today's update. Have a fantastic weekend, and see you guys on Monday as Chapter Six wraps up!
Also, Lamelle, I'm really sorry if you saw the other troll comment responding to you with a stupid line.
To the troll, if you see this (which you probably won't): you are free to leave incendiary comments on my page if you really need to insist you have no life, because I personally find it amusing, but it is NOT funny when you start harassing my readers. Flame me in your little vendetta against DragonTrainer and Kyo if you like, I don't really care (you're padding my comment count and views for higher ad bid rates, why not? :P) but if you bother my readers I shall have to throw rotting blunanas at you. Rawr!
Padding your rating for ads rev? I dunno if its good to say something like that really, people might think you are being dishonest. But yeah the trolls should be a little more considerate.
Sorry, you're right, that wasn't the greatest thing to say. u_u but the troll's visit pads impressions by 1 (lol) so I wasn't really serious XP I didn't mean to be dishonest, just saying why trolling is sometimes counterproductive for the troller :'D
This was a very small order I did primarily to gift to friends, so if I did print another order I could change the size and/or type of mug :) let me see how much it costs to ship just the one before I do anything else, though! XD
And thankyew, re: mugs! >3<* It was kind of on a whim I thought about mugs, and the process was pretty smooth! X3 <3 the guy there said he liked the design too ehehehe >3<*** (he might say that to everyone but I'll take it lolol)
And that, my friends, is why Madou is awesome. He knows how to royally piss off the right people XD Though, it would probably be better if he wasn't using Kylie or anyone else.
Nuuuu chapter end is niiiiigh! It beter not be a cliffhanger *eyes rufi*
Well, even if it inflicts harm...She doesn't seem to be too worried, I guess? :'D
Omg, that last panel made me laugh so hard, bwahahah! All that seriousness and then just ..."royally piss this guy off" hahahahah!
It's funny that a dude trying to piss some very specific people off is commenting on the more recent pages of SF as of late XD though, personally, the effectiveness of this dude may not be quite the same as Madou's, lolol :'D
It's pretty sad that you can spend all day working on this comic and not really amount to anything with it. I mean seriously it's like you aren't even trying anymore. You spend so much time working on it but you don't give it your go, and it's apparent through the series if you read it from start to finish. You're slacking and tapering off, past your prime and have given up. Just end it already so you can work on the next miserable little attempt to give your life meaning. It's sad that pieces of shit like you are born into the world just to take up space and cry for attention. It's also sad that you'll have to spend the rest of your life surrounded by people but still being completely alone. At least you can take comfort in knowing that there's one thing in life that will give you pleasure - your hand.
My hands DO give me a lot of pleasure, come to think of it... :P
Nrgh, tempted to leave this troll comment here purely for posterity's sake, though probably deleting it would be for the betterment of mankind so as to reduce the number of innocent readers inflicted by it. :'D
I'll let you guys decide - if you think it should be deleted, I'll delete it. XD;
Eh.. I say let it be. My joke doesn't work no more if it's gone. (Granted, my comment in reaction to his, whoever it really is, would go as well, wouldn't it?)
And your first sentence there... the innuendo is strong in this one!
The only cry for attention I see is the troll. It's sad to see someone like him who feels so badly about themselves that they feel they must belittle those around them in an attempt to prop up their own self esteem and maybe feel a little bit better about themselves for a short time. Past that though the troll sounded... dare I say: bitter? As if he were speaking of his own experiences in being eternally alone and feeling as if he has no meaning to his life. I, for one, do not envy him in the slightest. I pray they find more permanent ways to satisfy that hole in their soul.
I saw the other comments and had to speak up. Listen, as an artist I know how much it will hurt to read them. I'm an artist who is still in the making, I'm still trying to find a purpose for my art. You have found a purpose for yours. Something that you can share with the world and that everyone sees. Don't you dare let anyone take that from you. They obviously don't understand how hard this kind of project is. It is long, it is constantly challenging, and you're always striving to get better while dealing with everything else in your life. You experience off days, it gets hard. But you still do this, you still keep it up. And that, is simply amazing. It's hard enough just starting a project like this. Even harder to get it noticed. But to continue it for so long.... That's what makes you even stronger. Most of us give up before we get this far. Celebrate.... You have accomplished something. You've become a recognized artist. That, is one of the hardest things to do. The dicks who would rather tear you down for instant self gratification with thoughts that they have power over you, they just do it for attention, for the feeling. They don't care about your work or who you are. So they are nothing, they mean nothing in the worth of your work and life. Disregard them like the parasites they are, your supporters will treat them. And your story will be on its merry way to more adventures and journeys ailment free. Keep going, dear. You got this! And you're an inspiration to fellow artists<3
Glyphron! Thank you so much for your remarks, they are so incredibly kind! ;_;* I will take it to heart and remember it whenever I get attacked by a real troll. XD;
I've been told that the guy who's trolling the CF comics as of late is actually a fake troll, using another person's ID (like DragonTrainer or Kyo) in order to frame them for trolling. So they aren't even really looking at the comics, they're just finding random comics and copying and pasting generally vitriolic messages to bait people and get them mad at the real DragonTrainer/Kyo. So basically, the worst kind of fake-troll, since they don't even really mean what they say!
Soooo just ignore the trolling going on as of late, it shall pass. XD It's actually kind of funny once you realise what's going on. But if said troll continues to harass my readers (like your lovely self) or bait a rise out of them, I am going to start looking into serious measures to prevent it from happening in the future.
And here I was thinking about congratulating on your first troll, because trolls only turn up when you're popular and doing well (because we all know trolls are just lumps of jealous evil beings). But anyway, don't take any of what he/she said to heart because you know you have so many more supporters :)
Of course that whole 'diverting hate towards DragonTrainer and Kyo' completely fails for everyone paying attention even only half-assed. Since we do know that these guys have got avatars and that clicking on their names will show their user site. Something the wannabes completely fail at.
Does anyone else things it's ironic and thus comical that the troll is criticizing artists for wasting time when they themselves probably wasted hours bothering with the attack. Then they talk about cries for attention as if that's not exactly what they are doing themselves by trolling. Of course, no one should be surprised that trolls are hypocrites. Seriously though the second half of his post could have been copied verbatim, directed back at him as a reply, and it would fit perfectly. XD
I don't have a clue what a Madou Pokemon would evolve into, but I think one particular type of Pokemon fits Madou quite well- psychic! He likes to play mind games. :P
Well..ALL your characters are very in depth characters and it's hard not to be super interested in them! But Madou is becoming more and more a favorite of mine with every page he's in <33
<333 so happy to be able to send you a thing, Matt! X3
And gosh, thankyew for the interest in the mug! O_O* I'll be shipping just the one out, and I'll be able to see if it's feasible to make available for international purchase. :D <3333
I wouldn't think there's enough interest for a big order, but maybe if you could get the price for an individual instance I'd consider it. I need to buy more mugs.
For a second, I was like 'Princess Leia? Where? O_O' LOL!
That's a really good guess, since I bookended Chapter Five with Seia, and I started Chapter Six with him... so it's likely I'll end it again with that side of the story. :D We'll see on Monday!
WOOOOOOW! Look at all that merch!
I'm not only totally impressed but extremely jealous! That's about when you know you're hitting the big time!
Seriously, my friend. Excellent page and excellently designed merch. If I had two pennies to rub together, I'd absolutely pick up one of those coffee mugs! Maybe if I ask Santa real nice-like?
Awww Outlaw!! <333 You're really just too kind!! ;3;* <333 *hugs*
The coffee mugs were actually a test run more than anything, as I printed only ten mugs (the tiniest quota XD) and gave one away for the giveaway and rest as Christmas gifts. :) I'll have to do some homework to see about shipping them out as an actual product! @_@
Regarding the response you gave to the troll comment above: thank you so much, Outlaw, you are so supportive and sweet. ;__;* And I mean like, always! *hug* I'm fine 'cause I have been blessed with such friends like yourself ;3;* <3
Erg people need to just stop being douchebags :(
Aahhhhh have I mentioned how cool the flashback story thingys with Renault look?
If I haven't I just wanna say the colors, shading it's all just spectacular
wait...
that last panel, tho.. That's amazingly creepy! o_o XD
Reminds me of cheshire cat... just a bit more scary! x)
I like it :3
And yay, mission accomplished! ;D Cheschire Cat is a very apt comparison O_O

Blunana
May be used as a throwing item when rotten. Conveys a general sense of animosity when used that way.
Poor Madou...
...so, his name *was* Renault...
PS: Congrats to the winners...
How many participants did you have in the survey?
PPS: Yeah, I like that mug and that print <3
...and the lil'mug in the mug/print I know from the forum ^_^
...how big is that mug? 300 ml? 400 ml? 500 ml?
I had a bit over 40 participants in the survey!
I'm happy you like the mug and print, I was happy with how they turned out, too! <3 It's approximately 11oz, which is around 330ml. :) Small mug!
Great. =)
Ah, I prefer them a little larger - but if that is the only size they come in I will take one. =)
Love that coffee mug. That illustration is perfect for it.
And thankyew, re: mugs! >3<* It was kind of on a whim I thought about mugs, and the process was pretty smooth! X3 <3 the guy there said he liked the design too ehehehe >3<*** (he might say that to everyone but I'll take it lolol)
Nuuuu chapter end is niiiiigh! It beter not be a cliffhanger *eyes rufi*
Mady, madly, muddy. What an interesting chap.
Ahahaha, like Lenna said, he's not so hard to deal with once you figure out what he's doing... ;)
Aaaand naw, no cliffhanger <3 just a special "burnt" layer, if you know what I mean ;)
Omg, that last panel made me laugh so hard, bwahahah! All that seriousness and then just ..."royally piss this guy off" hahahahah!
Yes, take a break! You deserve it!@_@
And thankyewwww seamuffin! <333 I'm glad you like the page, yayyyy! :D
I'll probably derp to the max when I take the break XD
Also, Madou is so mysterious, I can't wait to learn more about him :)
Renadou is... so much like certain people. XD
Nrgh, tempted to leave this troll comment here purely for posterity's sake, though probably deleting it would be for the betterment of mankind so as to reduce the number of innocent readers inflicted by it. :'D
I'll let you guys decide - if you think it should be deleted, I'll delete it. XD;

Rufiangel pay no attention to this. Your work is excellent and enjoyed by so many.
Or in the famous words of our hero Philip J. Fry:
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!
I'm happy to see interest in the mug ;3;* uhmu let me see how much it costs to ship just the one first and get back to alls of yas XD;;

Gollum, gollum!
Yep. Sounds legit.
And yet, now I have thoughts of Pokemon in my head..
"Madou uses antagonize! ...It's surprisingly effective!"
Well..ALL your characters are very in depth characters and it's hard not to be super interested in them! But Madou is becoming more and more a favorite of mine with every page he's in <33
Madou has been attracting really mixed reactions, so I'm happy to hear what people think about him! X3
Hey, Rufi... Is it possible to maybe buy one of those mugs somehow?
And gosh, thankyew for the interest in the mug! O_O* I'll be shipping just the one out, and I'll be able to see if it's feasible to make available for international purchase. :D <3333

Btw, I really like where Renault reasoning is leading in that last panel XD
And thank you, Madou's reasoning on this page is fairly important in clarifying his personal motivations so I'm glad you liked it X3 he's cray-cray!
