This page needs some explanation. First panel: Firenne has an awfully patriarchal culture. Helyss is 23, but Firennian women are considered underage until they're 32. Legal age on Anthira is 18, by the way.
Last panel: Prince Nilcrane calls his future bride using Firennian naming conventions. Her brother's name + -nania. Since the guy's name is Hasselon, she becomes Hasselonania. She replies with "Kranny" just to annoy him. Ravarilda is a Firennian title, meaning "King's daughter".
Special guests: we have 2, both in the first panel. The blond is Sebastian Roz, from Timelapse11's The Underground Empire. Since I'm evil, I put him in an extremely uncomfortable situation. Lots of potential ALIEN GERMS in that room. And there's even Esterina hitting on him.
The green guy is the Supreme Commander of Jeima, from apool's The Seven Deadly Wishes. I gave him a hi-tech monocle because it just screams "upperclass". I also played a bit with the decorations on his head.
Finally, many, many thanks to my sister who created the most horrifically complicated outfits EVER. Firennian fashion is her contribution. If my updates are slow, you know who's to blame. Luckily I have only one more page of engagement party to draw.
I KNEW IT! Since I've seen that green dude I KNEW IT XD
Awesome work :) I love it!.
Say Bravo to your sister too :D
My sister is actually a co-author. Altarion's universe was born from our brainstorming sessions. Half the cast, the Anthiran people (=blue "elves" here) and Firenne as a whole are her creations. She just never actually takes part in drawing the comics. She did character studies though.
We've had this movie playing in our heads for most of our lives.
Those outfits are fiendishly difficult to draw. Tell your sister “well played”.
