1. Yes. 2. No, they've got different fathers. Feaf explained their relation in page 531. 3. One with a thicker coat at least X) 4. They use salt to keep meat intact for a longer period of time. 5. They took her bag but might not have eaten the meat.

Kique Nordin

1. Has Kainan ever said "I love you" to Rhov and/or Keirr? <3 2. Are Ravi and Feaf from the same litter? 3. Is that shirt Romé is wearing meant for a larger dog? X) 4. How did Jalah keep that meat in her sack from going bad? 5. Did the Ravencrest males take her meat and eat it when they threw her in the cellar?

The Imperial Moose is a very docile animal as long as they are treated with respect and care. Young moose and calves often tag along whenever an adult is used for work, to get them comfortable around the wagons and what they do. Novas and moose have over time become very comfortable around the dogs and cats, as they are rarely hunted in the w ild. The tame novas that are killed are usually first led away from the herd and killed where the herd can't see it happening. There may be individuals that keep pets

No idea X) After high school I went into graphic design but I quickly realized I wasn't as interested in that as I thought, so I quit that course fairly early. I've studied various animal care but that never clicked either. Since then I've never felt drawn to anything else other than art. If I didn't have the comics, I think I would have looked into illustrating to local magazines or books.

Hard question XD First thing I can think of is be patient with finding your prefered pen pressure. It may take a couple of doodles and tweaking in the settings in both your art program and tablet settings. If you've tweaked both settings for a while and the pen pressure is still not perfect, you might have to go looking into your computer settings, especially if you have windows 10, since that is well known for messing up pen pressure. Find the position you like, some people keep the tablet right in front of them, some on the side of the computer/screen. I keep it on the side since I like to rest my arm and find that angle to have best support. Here's a good article you can check out https://www.clipstudio.net/how-to-draw/archives/155358

Anything that looks beast-like, such as overly long fangs/tails, glow marks, rough beasty look

Kique Nordin

It's unknown

2. No they can only offer someone they care about. 4. Bears also have a glow pattern same as the other native species we've seen. 5. A bit in a way

Kique Nordin

1. It's rarely used now as Ronja has moved to a hut near the others. 2. I'm not sure.

Kique Nordin

No plans yet

Kique Nordin

The Asmundr pack and some of the other characters are from Earth, others like Ninmah were born elsewhere, and Ranach and other characters were born on Aedra

Kique Nordin

A premade png brush that I just color and lay across the design

Kique Nordin

I'll consider it

Kique Nordin

No

Kique Nordin

1. Bears and bear-like creatures are the one of the bigger predators. Some smaller canine species that are non-sentient. 2. Yes.

Kique Nordin

Various species

Kique Nordin

1) Artisan has painting other dogs in tribe, but who painting artisan? 2) Is it possible for minor character to change on semi-minor (according to division on wiki)? Or for semi-minor to main? For example when some character has less time on screen, but later becomes more important?

Syria_Black

Who were some of the females ranach has a one night stand wit

Jasiri

Considering dog breeds can be very variable, how do dogs even rationalize what's a "wolf" and what's just a breed they haven't met yet?

Peentz

4. It is my understanding the daughters live in whispervale right now so i assume she had them after the escape.

1. How come bears aren't different in Aedra like prey is? The bear that Kargo fought was cool but it just seemed like a regular grizzly bear. Were they originally from Aedra or earth? 2. I see that everyone's rank was changed in MT earlier. Will the passage keeper mark be given to shepherds and lead shepherds have the old shepherds mark? 3. Did Keirr ever go to Solar Stage Tribe to search for his family? Did he ever send a note or anything to see if there were signs of them? 4. This is probably a spoiler question but will we at least get to know the reason why Isbel didn't bring her daughters along with her during the escape? Was one or both of them too afraid to go with her?

Is there a possibility that there will be more feline species?

Helena_Hyena

Hmmm now that you mention it. I'd like to add something to that question x) Would it technically be possible to extract that pigment (or whatever the correct chemical term is) from the fur somehow and create glowing paint?

How do the dogs train their Moose? Or do the moose just...understand how to do their tasks? Will we ever get a scene with a dog sterny talking to a few baby moose about how pulling a cart works (to the theme of mulans "i'll make a man out of you")? I wonder if friendships between the "Farm" animals the dogs keep and them form, like it does with humans and their pets. We saw a small glimpse with the male nova that followed Ronja around, and the wild one that followed roamer back in the day after he healed it. Cause i'm not saying i'd die of cuteness, but you know....i'd totally die of cuteness. Also, do any tribes/loners keep other pets similar to Asmundr pack with panic? (other than novas and the moose) For example small critters or birds that bonded to them?

A theoretical question for you, as its something that is more unlikely to be an actual thing to happen in the comic.. Aedra is rife with bioluminescant creatures. Could the dogs who have come to call it home, after many generations of eating the creatures and plants of Aedra as well as overall adaptation, eventually develop thier own bioluminescance? Its a bit of an odd question, but something i've wondered for some time!

Luae

If you wouldn't have started doing comics on internet, what kind of job would you have done?

Kitty

My first digital tablet is arriving this week, do you have any advice, tips or tricks a beginner could use? 😇

Alaska

Are there any bird species on Aedra that even glow?

Spiritstrike

At what age do puppies start or learn to talk?

Yami

1) Will we get to see more whats up with Father, his kind and the green ones by any chance? 2) Could one trade themselves in with the Keeper of the Death too? Like, if Ferah or even Rogio would sacrifice themselves to bring someone they love back, would that work too? 3) Marduk mentioned the sky gods taking care of the Akis since they are their creation/we know there are still sky gods around- so are the Akis still guarded in some way? 4) The bear Kargo killed, had he also something to fight of the nightbeasts? Predators in general? 5) If that isn't too much of a spoiler, but since he is "gone" anyway...was Zilas more "aware" what happened around him when he was a nightbeast?

Kuni

1) I don't think we've seen the cave the old Meteor Tribe Jarls used to use in a while (the one Ranach was moping around in before leaving). Does anyone currently use this cave? 2) Would you ever consider releasing higher-resolution files of the pages before page 416? Thanks so much!

Flann Moriath

Any plans on adding some domestic cat inspired colors to the felidae genetics? There's a few that would look pretty neat on dogs! Like snowshoes , torbies, and classic tabbies with the swirly stripes

Moki

Did all the sentient animals come from the same world that Asmundr is from, or were some of them native to this one to begin with?

Moki

what brush do you use for dapple spots?

pintomosa

Can we possibly get pre made markings on linearts like brindle? I struggle badly making markings

SleepyFernweh

Are there messenger birds on aedra? Or perhaps bats?

sukkol

1. What kind of predators exist on Aedra? Except the canine breeds and Taiga lion. Any more carnivores and omnivores? 2. Was Savas and Ranach born in same litter?

Tora Collita

What kind of small prey do aedra have ive only seen the hares and the monkey things
