Monthly Q&A- December

Will we see more of MT twisted lines from Arneak and his father Bródir? As we haven't seen much of how many pups they got, specially not Bródir.

Tora Collita

1. The pups in Origin Orion are considered 3rd generation. 2. Yes, with various dog DNA, but with considerably less Liulfr DNA. 3. Spoiler. 4. He was just sucking up to her X ) 5. Yes. 6. He mostly just valued his sons, but if a daughter was fertile he valued her a bit higher but not as much as his sons.

Kique Nordin

1. Outlaw and Rawhide. 2. Leopard spots, bengal. 3. Possibly markings or colors that may make the character look intimidating in some way. 4. Ranach is a personal twist on the word “Rangr- Crooked, unjust” from old norse. 5. Origin Orion, Southspear, Shiverfall. 6. Only those that members form an attachment to. Most of the nova's will be culled when they need food. Only important bulls and cows are kept for their lifetime. 7. 5-6, though smaller litters are more common. Happy New Year!

Kique Nordin

Those I enjoy drawing the most currrently I think are Jahla, Romé, Folluin, because of their various expressions and unique anatomy. There's several plot points that I'm very excited to share and draw out (:

Kique Nordin

May be a little two late for this but here goes! (lol) Roghir, Argeirr, and Jahla are 1st generation Akiulfr. 1.How many generations are there now? 2. Thakir explained a little bit...but were the 2nd generation Akiulfrs "created" the same way as the original trio? (Or in a similiar way?) 3. Will we find out who the "wolf" was who first went around and stole from the tribes? 4. Ranach mentioned when he came to Southspear that he saw the Matriarch as the "true one." Was she special in any way? Like did she have something the other dogs of Aedra didn't have? 5. Arenak was a jerk. Was this because of how his father treated him? 6. In regards to Arenak, did he only ever see his sons as worthy? Worthy is not even the right word here... Did he see his daughters as anything more than breeding machines? (Some of these may be spoilers and I understand that you cannot answer them) Thanks for taking the time to read my comment

Kinder

1. Your favorite fictional gene(s) you've created? 2. What markings can be considered rare in Aedra? 3. Is there coloring/markings that are considered more attractive/less attractive by canines/felines? 4. What does Ranach's name means/where does it originates? 5. Can you tell what are biggest tribes in number of members after Solar Stag? 6. Do other Novas in MT have names like Fjall? 7. What is maximum litter size in Aedra? Happy New Year for you, Toulouse and Kargo! <3

Waikku

I don't think so, I've already got a lot on my plate. Raffles aren't allowed on patreon

Kique Nordin

Yes

Kique Nordin

Comics. I like longer tails for those species X)

Kique Nordin

You can check them on the wiki, at least as far as i know the pronunciations should still be on their character sheets there :3

Sophia Fayrix

I have...pronunciation questions! I've always been been obsessed with saying characters' names right and I'm convinced I'm doing it wrong. I know you have guides on the wiki, but I'm still confused. X) So. Is it Roh-gee-oh (like oh, gee) or Roh-ghee-oh (like the clarified butter used in Indian cooking) Is it ja-lah (like the German "yes") or jaw-lah? Is Axilyah pronounced Ax-il-lee-yah or Ah-zee-lee-yah? And lastly, is Rome like Roam-ay, Roam-uh, or something totally different?

bitterbasil

Of the main cast of characters, do you have one that you favor? Which of them do you enjoy drawing scenes for the most? And given that you know what happens in the story before all of us, are there any future developments that you're particularly excited for? :)

LOON

"Felidae's eyebrows", is that a sauce? :P

Wild Dreamkiller

Will there be any type of Teir that grants personal art? Maybe not for every patreon but some sort of raffle between them?

Will the Akita sketch base be made into a base you can ask for customs with in the Thane tier later on? ^_^

Tora Collita

What can we expect after the final chapter of Home? ((not spoilers)) further comics? commissions? etc and why are Liulfrs and akiulfrs tails so longs? xd

HatiWolf -{Silver Paw}-

Oooh good question! I am curious about this as well.

Sunny Daze

Do people's comments, assumptions feelings, etc, ever contribute to shifting any happenings in the story? For example maybe someone expresses a viewpoint that gives you an idea, or a surprising preference for a character or event cause you to want to make it happen or not happen? Just wondering if fan feedback goes into the Discovery writing process

JackalHackal

The entire basic storyline is written, it's just the smaller scenes and details in between that aren't set in stone and that may change over time. I write all the general plot points down in summaries and later flesh it out in detail.

Kique Nordin

I don't do much concept art except for a few sketches and experiments with color design.

Kique Nordin

1. Maybe about 3 weeks, more or less. 2. They need to take plenty of stops to rest as well as take breaks to hunt. Their stay at a tribe varies, sometimes it can go quite quick, but other times longer if the tribe has a lot of new info. 3. Merchants often have a home tribe they stay at. On their travels they pass through several tribes to bring wares to and from another tribe. Wares are usually collected from other tribe members. They don't report to the capital and there's no profit for the capital unless they inquired for some wares as well.

Kique Nordin

I have no idea. Right now I have no need to open commissions but emergencies may always happen so who knows.

Kique Nordin

1. Yes. 2. Yes. 3. Spoiler 4. Lifa would make a good hunter, Niita possibly Baroness/Caretaker. 5. It was always his plan to let Keirr visit Ronja, he just wanted to make sure it was safe first. The fight he witnessed will play a role later in the story. 6. Yes, the sketch form of them makes it easier for me to produce them faster.

Kique Nordin

Yes, because the old art and crappy anatomy bothers me, but redoing those pages would take me years which is why I don't want to print the comic X)

Kique Nordin

Yes the Southern Jaro base will be released in January. More to come after that

Kique Nordin

As a "discovery" writer, how far ahead do you do outlines for your plot? A few chapters ahead? Also, do you write down all your plot points since there are so many characters with their arcs?

Kisa

What is your process for creating new characters? Do you do character studies?

How long does it take the Highland Guild to do a full circuit of their route? How often do they stop and how long do they stay at each tribe? How do they go about registering a new tribe? What is it like being a merchant in Aedra? Like where do they live, where do they get their wares, and do they report to the capital or give any of their profit to the capital or their tribes? Sorry for the text wall XD

Cobaltopia

When will you be open to commissions again?

HatiWolf -{Silver Paw}-

Hope you had a good time to relax a bit X) I really loved the maps you made for the different territories, will you add more in the future? x3 Since she hadn't much screentime so far, will Felidae have more in the future so that we can learn about her? Will we see memories from Rogio of his birth tribe and his first meeting with Ranach at some point? Always was curious about these things. If it would be a regular tribe, which roles would Lifa and Niita fulfill? I assume Lifa would be a huntress? Fraujar noticed the fight between Keirr and Raun, did that influence his decision to bring Keirr to Ronja or was that always his plan? Last but not last, I always loved your bonus pages, will there be more in the future? The sketched one was amazing and I suppose that's easier for you too, would you consider it?

Kuni

If you were to bring HOME from a digital comic to a paper one: Would you touch up the oldest pages of your work to match the quality you have now? Sorry if that question has been asked before.

Aki

Will there be any more more detailed multi layer base releases? <3

Carona

NO

Kique Nordin

Do you know where they live and how to contact them?

Rubje

Kique Nordin

Kique Nordin

Isanacko

Do you prefer your toast with Toothpaste Or Tomato Sauce? (feel free not to answer, asking for a friend)

Ovacalix (Sam)

<3

Kique Nordin

Out of the comic breeds that you haven't drawn much of yet, is there one that you are looking forward to drawing much of in the future?

Baseballfan2414

Did you color felidae’s eyebrows????? Wanna watch a movie tonight?!?!?

Zirvasity

Did you have nice holidays? :) Summer/fall seemed pretty short compared to how many months are still left. Is it because MT and Whispervale are so far up north?

Yami

NikuComics

Pretty sure no X)

Kique Nordin

Will we ever see fathers face? 😂
