Neither K'os nor Disodrer have any color in their eyes besides the yellow glowy bit.

I'm not making suggestions, 'cuz I sorta' want to see which ones end up getting made, anyway.

Also:  The correct form is "your," not "you're."

Hehe...I'll stop now.

[Faith]

Er... heh... oops...
I do that, too much... >.<

Hm... yellow glowy bit?

[Dragyn]

Where their pupils should be, there is nothing but a glowing yellow diamond of light.  The "whites" of their eyes are black, and shadowed.

The next update would probably be done by now, but I haven't had it with me, so I haven't been able to work on it.  I will be taking it with me, so it should be done soon.

Of course, I did manage to finish something else instead, but I forgot to bring it with me, so you'll still have to wait 'till I can get to that to see it...

Sorry I've been without in'net for so long.  I'm not dead yet, really!

[Faith]

Oops... I didn't see this, last time...    >.<

Heh.  

I hope not.  

Hm... I do believe you have a computer at the appartment... jus' one that doens't have Internet, right?
So, you can work on things form there, but not post them or anything like that?
(Jus' checking to see what the situation is.)

[Dragyn]

Yeah, that's sorta' where things are at.  It's also a bit slow, so things take longer than I'm used to.

The next update will come soon.  I've some shading and texturing, then text to add, and it'll be done.

I may look into Beastling again soon, but I promise nothing.

[Dragyn]

Double post, so this'll actually be seen:

PE page 7 is up, and I cleaned up the PEEP while I was at it.

There are a lot more Extras in there when they all show up...

[Faith]

Heh.  

Yes, there were...

And... I ought to go to bed before I try to make a coherent statement about the comic... >.<

Anyway... goodnight everyone... ^_^

Oi. Is it the monitor I'm using, or did the compression get almost as brutal on shading as the rescaling did on the speech bubbles.

Using a heavier line in the original might stop that in the future, but I don't know what to say about thew shading.

[Dragyn]

The speech bubbles weren't rescaled.  It's all the compression's fault, I'm afraid.  I may have to switch back to using .png as the format, despite the larger file sizes.

The shading never looks good after compression.  I think it's something to do with the way the conversion handles multiple partially transparent layers.

Ah, well.  If 100% accuracy on a .jpg looks as bad as this, .png may be worth the file size.

[Faith]

Hm... What's the differences png and .jpg?
I've heard of .jpg, before, but not so much of the other...

[Dragyn]

It's not very well-known yet, I don't think.

[Faith]

So... what's it for?

[bloodreaper]

It's not the transparent layers. Those get wiped out in the flattening, which you should do before converting to a lossy format. It's the way it deals with colors that gets you.

Either your compression of the file format itself is gutting your color depth, turning your careful transparency work into the same hard color changes you'd get without transparency.

I might not know art, but I know a gutted color depth when I see it.

[Dragyn]

My guess is File format--.jpg is getting infamous for a reason.

[Faith]

Huh...
Well I haven't heard of .png before, I don't think... how/whydoes it change the file size?

So that's what that's called... (fader.) ':D
