The scenery, textures, different shades, folds of clothing, and all of Hyacinth's ornaments provided me quite a bit of enjoyment as far as this chapter's art. All was done in pencil, of course. The "digital touch-ups" include only text and outlines. Strangely, the digital editing phase is considerably easier and faster on the more complex pencil work. -- The last panel required virtually nothing after scanning.

ghostrunner & BetaJess: Smoking is gross, but monks, as a rule, are hott! ^_^ (Damn animes warping my mind.)
patrickdevine: A chin is a strangely identifiable feature... (We haven't had many smokers either.)
Tantz: He's a pretty tame monk for the moment, but it is a nice, concealing robe.
Peipei: I always picture wizards looking like Albert Einstein, old sciencey guys with feathery white hair. ^_^ My dad (a physics teacher) was interviewed for a TV commercial, and they asked him what it was like to be a wizard. He said "Poof." (That's how the ad ended.)
amanda: I'm glad my color choice worked for Celes. I'm never too sure what to do with her. -- And you gotta be careful about that second-hand religion. XD
JustNoPoint: The odds? Hmmm... I dunno. I have been known to write "cutesy-sweet" chapters from time to time. ~_^ -- And yeah, that monk is just minding his own business. At least the other characters are leaving him alone.

here's the subtle reading: Kaida: *WINKS* Fortune teller: HOW DARE YOU WINK AT ME *WINS BACK* [color=red]--FIGHT--[/color]

Its been a while since i have looked at your comic, but today i finally read through the archives and I think your art has really improved! How long does it normally take you to create a page?

Haha, Tristan and Seiko's expressions are wonderful. They look mortified! I'd be scared of Hyacinth, too, but I would still love to have my fortune told. Somehow I never summon up enough courage to do it. Plus, her eye went all creepy when she gave Kaida that advice...never a good sign when your fortune teller gets creepy eyes.

I'd be too afraid to get a reading from her xD. After what happened to Yuki in the past, when getting a fortune telling from her :s.

Isn't Hyacinth's advice well... applicable to everything?

Kaida seems to mean well, but she came off as incredibly rude in the second and third panels. Hyacinth doesn't seem to be taking offense, so I guess Kaida isn't calling her a hag to be rude, is she? Overall, this is a pretty detailed chapter. I'm happy to hear that it was fun for you to do.
