Hey guys, I'm back in town! Thanks for your patience regarding the delayed updates lately.
There is just one more update to go before Chapter Seven wraps up, and then I'll go on a break before Chapter Eight begins. I'll announce more details on the break on the next update!
In the meantime please note that I'll do my best to update the final page before Christmas~ :)
Thank you for reading! I know I'm super behind on comments - I'll catch up on everything soon enough, I hope >3<;;
Caaaain T__T. I can't wait til we find out every little detail about... ALL of this! Abel has some craaaaazy eyes right there man!
Very nicely rendered page Rufii!
Iiiit kind of makes me recall Hizruk-baby's flashbacks, now that I think about it... though I think poor Hirzuk-baby got it REAL rough, rougher than Cain in many ways. ;_;* Poor baby... I LEARNT THIS FROM YOU SERPY-KINS XD
Anyway! Abel's got the Crazy Eyes Prize 2016, he's very proud of it and polished it up next to his Crazy Eyes Prize 2015 and 2014 XD
Thank you very much btw! ;v;* I'm glad to know the page works!
All the angst aside, I really love the layout of this page-- the way you did the panels really shows the... brokenness of the memories. I'm impressed! (and also sad. poor Cain D:)
So much aaangst XD;; but thank you so much, Kat!! I'm very pleased you noticed the small details <3 ;v;* Cain is a very broken boy ahahaha :'D but don't worry, help is on the way... right?
I have to say, Abel probably wins 'most hated character' just BARELY over Jinn. Maybe. XD;;;
Also, the smile was actually a bit comic at first XD then I added all the shadows and I was like 'oh. okay, now that's a lot creepier' XDD;;; darnit, Abel...
... See, this is why people don't like you, Abel. Your locks may be pretty but your smile can slash through Cain more agonizingly than any whip. Also, knowing things now... this is NOT the kind of image anyone would want to have seared into their brain D,:
You know, it's interesting, but I don't think we've seen Abel smile in any of his more recent appearances (not flashbacks). Maybe he really didn't smile again. >_> ... at least, he hasn't yet...?
You mean my scolding from the future into his flashbacks worked for his behavior on recent past pages? Woah.... that's pretty awesome power I have there ;D <3
That's what happens when no one thinks to dilute the darn katonipu with tonic water, folks. You wake up whipped silly without the cream and can't find the key to the handcuffs!
Here's the hardest part of seeing Cain like this, or at least my take... When he's not being terrified out of his mind, he's trying his best to try and forgive Abel.
That just makes scenes like this all that much harder to look at.
P.S. Welcome back, and have a wonderful Christmas this year!
Cain's take on Abel is mostly expressed at its clearest in Chapter Five, when he's talking to Ren. So far, that's the most we've gotten from him, but we'll see in later chapters further developments on that front... I'm glad to see that this page has got you thinking about that, though! X3
And thank you always for reading, DLK!! ;v;* I hope you had a lovely Christmas and new year's!~
You know Azu-rin, I still haven't read that manga or watched the anime for AoT! XD; But I think I've seen enough memes and references to know what you're talking about lolol XD
[So, inspiration struck. And those who know me knows that means you should stop reading now, for your own sake. But, if you display more curiosity than good sense, here's a bit of whimsey for you. You may, if you wish, imagine this as sung by Cain to the tune of Elton John's "Daniel".]
Abel is looking for me once again
I can feel his magical forces reaching out over the plain
Oh and I can see henchmen lurking nearby
God it looks like Abel won't let me ever say "goodbye".
I tried to get away from the scene
Leave the Holy City to Abel, the only place he's ever been
Left it all to him, but it's not enough.
Hope my new companions make his killing me too tough.
Abel, my brother, you are colder than me.
You once gave me the pain of the scars that won't heal.
You wish I died, but instead I took flight
Abel, I escaped in the dead of the night.
Abel is looking for me once again
I can feel his magic forces looking to locate the chain
Oh and I can see henchmen lurking nearby
God it looks like Abel won't let me ever say "goodbye".
Oh God it looks like Abel won't let me ever say "goodbye".
Gil... this is amazing, so amazing. <3 :D
I'm so honoured you spent the time to craft this great 'bit of whimsy', as you say! <3 Love all the changes you made to those lyrics XD Maybe I can post this as a 'fanwork' somewhere, if that's okay with you?
As more is revealed, I think it'll surprise you just how fitting this whole thing is... @_@ <3
I'm very glad you like it, and that I didn't get things completely wrong. Feel free to consider it a fan contribution if you have an idea of where you'd like it to go. (Though, of course, both of us must agree not to infringe on any of Sir Elton's original copyright. ^_^) I've enjoyed your work and I'm very pleased to play around with some of the thoughts and images you have provided. And to be able to share the results.
Aww, I'm glad you're understanding of Cain's situation at the moment :'D <3
Don't worry, he hasn't wet his pants... yet? Naw, hopefully I won't have to render THAT unfortunate scenario XD;;;;
It's truly wonderfully illustrated though, nicely done!
Apparently I'm a cruel mistress ;v;*

Ahahaha, okay, I'm going to +1 to Cain's Hug Credit, he's really stacking those up now XD
Poor guy.
So excited that my mugs are coming, Rufi!!
And I'm so glad they made their way to you safely, Matt!! <3 Thank you ;v;***

He really looks to Kylie as a support in more ways than just keeping enemies from attacking him while he's casting spells I'd say.
Fufufu. <3 That's a lovely way of putting it, MST3K! :D
As if we needed any more reasons to hate this vicious little snot... Oh gosh. That SMILE... D:
Also, the smile was actually a bit comic at first XD then I added all the shadows and I was like 'oh. okay, now that's a lot creepier' XDD;;; darnit, Abel...
(If only 'brain bleach' was a real thing :'D)
I've been mugged by Nemike. *Cheers.
Also, that's a pretty good guess :D we'll see about that brand in time!
Poor Cain :< <3
...all those nightmarish memories...
*hugs Rufi* is fine - we have survived ;)
And yes, he does seem to have a lot of those. :'D
Tell you what, I'll make that little random head icon when I'm home and able XDD
That just makes scenes like this all that much harder to look at.
P.S. Welcome back, and have a wonderful Christmas this year!
And thank you always for reading, DLK!! ;v;* I hope you had a lovely Christmas and new year's!~
You shouldn't have killed Abel
I kid, I kid...
*aotreferencecough
That smile man.. it made me...
