Monthly Q & A- November

Q&A Closed

Kique Nordin

Great questions ;) 1. Yes, there's a certain small herb that can make them drunk pretty quickly. 2. I guess they could be using this herb to create a liquid-like substance for drinking instead of eating since the juice inside the herb is what makes them drunk X)

Kique Nordin

Depends on the characters in the relationship, if they consider it serious or if they're still trying it out or exploring their feelings for another. As for Roamer and Rogio, they're still exploring the thought of being together for life.

Kique Nordin

Oh god Kique, I'm so sorry for this question but... 1. Can dogs of the comic get drunk? xDDD 2. Would there be a way for them to get drunk/creat alcohol? c;< I'm writing about a Home OC, and I imagined him drunk... I need a way to turn it canon... xDD

Xana Akai

i’m sure you’ve answered this before, but i haven’t came across it. but what makes two characters become partners? like what’s the difference between dating and being partners, like between rogio and roamer?

Regular wolf species exists in the comic universe the same way they exist in real life, meaning they don't talk the way these characters do. The ancestors of our characters were related to wolves but they were a different species of wolf, hence why they looked more dog-like in the flashback when Rhov told Jahla the origin story.

Kique Nordin

This might have already been asked: What happened to ancestral/true wolves? Were they wiped out? Will we and the characters ever learn of them in the comic?

Corvin

Maybe (:

Kique Nordin

1. Can't answer this right now. 2. There's no special reason behind it, they weren't forced to mate or anything though. 3. It will be explained in the upcoming page.

Kique Nordin

Yes they are. I removed custom sketches some time ago since it wasn't really requested. I might add it back eventually but it would be on a higher tier in that case since it takes more time and effort to create a sketch rather than color a premade base.

Kique Nordin

I’ve always thought Rogio’s beast form was awesome. Would you ever consider drawing beast forms for the main chars for fun?

Galaxydew

I am not Kique and I am for sure also interested in this particular question, but I could imagine it has something to do with the fact that lovers want to spend their life together, have kids etc. all these things are in conflict with a life on the move.

Kuni

Check the wikia on the Flamegarde tribe. Nvm forgot you refers to the ones that died to Jahla. Whoops

Spiritstrike

Also, any names for those dead Flamegarde Shepherds yet? XD

Tora Collita

Do we get to know what tribe Fuss was originally from and how/why he ended up joining the Meteor Tribe? Is there any particular reason why Fjallviva and Majviva from the Whispervale Tribe already had offspring at such a young age, only being 2 years? Or no special reason behind it? :) Why did the Viscountess let Rhov become a guild member just like that, like barely knowing anything about him or having him go through any trials? Surely there must be numerous canines/felines who are already members of Solar Stag who might covet such a position as well?

Nippy

Just a couple more questions, is the Shiverfall Tribe definitely too far away from Solar Stag to find the glowing stones in their territory? And is there anything we're specifically not allowed to ask for in the monthly custom sketch? For instance, 2 characters in same PNG? Thanks for answering the first one also :3

Cobaltopia

Is there a reason the guilds are not allowed a mate? And just so i understood correctly, if one leaves the guild they are free to have a mate?

ArtemistheArtist22

1. No, they have very little knowledge about who the Aki's are, just like the rest of the inhabitants. 2. More on this will be revealed in the upcoming pages. 3. Same as the answer above. 4. Currently, the human kind is considered a threat and a lot of resources and time is spent on trying to come up with a solution. 5. Whispervale for now, but Shiverfall is my second one. 6. Yes. 7. There's a bit of truth in it. 8. They're a different species but very closely related. These two species of rabbits are considered valuable to the sky gods and has a special place among them.

Kique Nordin

1. Yes, she's a spirit bound to earth. There may be one on Aedra as well. 2. No, only the dogs and cats of the known breeds. 3. It's possible. 4. I think Petite Jaro, that base has been outdated for a while

Kique Nordin

Rank and gender I have pretty much planned out, but name, breed and design is usually finished once the time comes to draw that character.

Kique Nordin

1) Are the Baron and Viscountess aware of the connection their matriarch and the Akis have? Since Akis are basically the upgrade. 2) Since Jahla and the matriarch, regardless of if she's Ranus mom or not, are kinda related, is she free of the charges she got for murdering (in self defense!) the dogs on the way? 3) Why the sky gods thought the night beasts are new, when the Matriarch knew about it? She surely told them and considering her words, they were around for all the times doggys are on this world. 4) I dunno if it's some kind of spoiler but since humans and sky gods are most likely more..."related" than dogs and sky gods, are they trying to free humanity from the green ones/all their time now is spend on them, so the dogs are kinda...left alone? 5) Do you have a favorite tribe in traditions/way of life on Aedra? 6) Will we get to know more about Rogios past? 7) Is there some truth in the whole trinity thing Rogir made up, or is it just all a story? 6) Are these bunny's the same kind of bunny Piccolo is? D Just wondering if maybe rabbits and other animals were meant to be companions of shield wolves and that's why Lifa met him in the first place. Damn, so many questions XD

Kuni

- Is Fridulfr only on Earth? If so is there a god or a spirit in Aedra with this job : leading souls on the other side? - Can feral animals become night beast too or only dogs and felines? - Will we see a bit Keirr and Aira in this chapter even if they're not in the spotlight? - What do you plan doing for the next base? Vildmarken terrier or Liulfr?

Kitty

Do you have all of the SolarStag members planned out? I mean by the basics of name, breed, and rank?

Tora Collita

They do have the bark and they used it for the wounds they got from the Ranach attack, bandages are just used as an extra measure.

Kique Nordin

1. Yes. 2. Dobermann mostly 3. I should X) It's been a while, I will make one when I have time. 4. Because Rogio was ranked above them, and Vigr and Javo felt bad over what happened and for not standing up to Ranach, just like Fúss personally apologized for to Rogio. 5. Yes it was always to be from the Matriarch. 6. They shed a lot less. 7. You mean 441? He wants to join the Guild. 8. She's suspicious of him and thinks he might have other reasons for wanting to come with them. Her reason will be more clearly explained in the upcoming pages. 9. To keep herself a secret, a lot of things could go wrong if she were to reveal herself. She can leave the ship for a couple of years before her energy begins to drain.

Kique Nordin

Sumerian mythology has been my inspiration since Asmundr. There has been a few other relics and references from other religions and myths as well but sumerian is the base of it all. Father was hinted to be Utu from the Asmundr pages. Utu was believed to see everything in a day as he rode his sun chariot, and in page 328 of Asmundr, he tells Kainan that he has seen the birth of every creature, and in the final page of Asmundr, his ship is in front of the sun. Ninmah was a lot of fun to create, I've been longing to draw her for years now X)

Kique Nordin

She only thought about protecting Thakir. Jahla isn't shy on killing others if it's for the safety of others but she will try to prevent it as much as she can.

Kique Nordin

Because it's been a while since Khellir said that more dogs and cats from Earth would join them, he also said they would help locate their pups but there has been no news on that either. It's the silence from Khellir that drives them away

Kique Nordin

Oh Void XD

Kique Nordin

There's no proof, only what Solar Stag tells others, but while most tribes are trusting of Solar Stag and believes the Matriarch exists, there are tribes that doubt it or just plainly doesn't believe it.

Kique Nordin

I was just wondering, did the MT have any pulsing bark stores or access to it? Fuss, Roamer, and Fremja all had bandages for their wounds and I think Rogio may have mentioned something to Roamer about pulsing bark. I'm just wondering, if they had some, why didn't they take some when they went to find Ranach? I suppose it's wishful thinking that Fuss might have been saved if they had.

Cobaltopia

1. Is that brown Rifle that lead Jalah to Ninmah the baron of the Solar Stag tribe? 2. What real life breed is Khellir based off of? 3. Will you do a shading tutorial? 4. Page 349/panel 7: why is Vigr in a submissive pose? He doesn’t seem like the submissive type. 5. Page 26: where those paw prints always meant to be the matriarch’s or was that something you came up with later on? 6. Do the dogs in the series shed like real dogs do? Like does a Rifle shed as heavily as a German Shepherd? 7. Page 411/panel 8: What is Rhov trying to get accepted into? 8. Why is Axilyah so cold towards Rhov yet so nice to Ronja? Both are “outsiders”. 9. Does Ninmah stay in the ship to keep herself a secret or because she needs its energy?

Couple of questions. What made you use Sumarian mythology for the names like Utu and Ninmah (Ninmah is really pretty btw!)? Drawing a Liulfr in a different light (no pun intended) that's by no means corrupted by the green ones must be a really different experience for you, how does it feel to make a character that's not like the other Liulfrs (like Ranulfr and the others) from what you've done in the past?

Spiritstrike

This might have been asked, and it's not really important, just something that popped into my head one day... but I'm really curious to know if when Jahla fought those Flamegarde dogs, was the extent of the damage she caused unintentional but because of her fangs that had grown recently? (wow, the phrasing of that is a mess, sorry) I just wondered if she was genuinely surprised by what happened because she didn't have experience fighting after her fangs grew longer, or if in that moment she was only focused on doing whatever it took to protect Thakir and herself.

Hannah P

Why are the asmundr pack suspicious of Khellir? It came as a shock to me because as far as I've seen, he never seemed like he was suspicious or hiding something bad. So why the sudden suspicions? What made Kainan think this?

Ashley Edwards

If you had to become an inanimate object for a year, what object would you choose to be? And also, on a scale of 1 to 10, how moist are you right now?

Wild Dreamkiller

I have another question, since the Matriarch is only seen by the Baron and Viscountes, how can others even be certain that she exists? I mean, they do not even know what species she is. Is there some kind of proof that shows that she is there?

Michelle Koenders

They evolve naturally underground and only within and near the Solar territory

Kique Nordin

It was a lot of fun (: A bit of a challenge as I wanted Ninmah to look a bit more approachable rather than the usual beast look that the Liulfr has.

Kique Nordin

Yay Q&A :P Those glow pendants the Solar stag tribe has. How do those work? Where are they from? What er they made off? Are they the only one that have them? What type of battery do they use or are they nuclear powered?

Rubje

Khellir is keeping his distance right now, he doesn't want to intrude and wants to let the pack take their time, while the pack is keeping their distance out of suspicion.

Kique Nordin

How did it feel to draw a Liulfr again? Must have been some years!

Michelle Koenders

Idk if you can answer this, probably not but I'll give it a try anyway x) Has Khellir tried to become part of the Asmundr pack and just didn't dare after the incident with Raimo? ...or did the others avoid him? Or both? Because from what we've seen its like one or both sides kinda avoid each other.
