Thank you Arioch, I have enjoyed this site. I would love to continue since it looks to now be a paid site, but life has gotten in the way, and regrettably I cannot contribute. But your work is amazing, both the art and the engrossing storyline. I can say I have not enjoyed a webcomic as much is a while, so Thank You, and I wish you the very best.

It's not a paid site. I just don't always have a new page finished to post every week. The pages being posted to Patreon are uncolored; they're not finished.

Page 190 is now up on the site.

No snark, or other insult intended or implied. I was sincere in my praise of how excellent this webcomic is, and how much I have enjoyed it. Thank you.

Time to wake up...

That's the expression you'd expect from somebody waking up next to the cold bodies of two women.

Yes indeed, he prolly woke up with a gasp

Looking at the expressions on Beryl and Flint's faces, they also don't appear to be having a relaxing sleep, they look kind of, what's the word, nervous?

Fireblade and Alex's nightmare leaking through maybe and they feel the distress?

Flint looks rather relaxed to me.
Beryl less.

But then, having physical contact with a living body in a dead shuttle may result in discomfort, especially when the heartbeatrate is different than yours,

Loroi body temperature is 27°C in comparison to human's 36°C. So they are actually quite cool bodies.

That and knowing he just woke from a nightmare... I'm still a tiny bit envious.

I don't know about the "being in a dead shuttle" part, but looking at my cats' behavior, it doesn't seem like cuddling with a living body that has both a slower heart rate and a lower body temperature is all that much of a problem to them.

Figured that may be the case from a quick search I did...

Any intention to do an image dump to get stuff back in, if it isn't too much work? Or have they been completely lost?

The /temp/ directory wasn't backed up, so it would be a lot of work to figure out what's missing and reproduce it.

And why? Since then, the final pages have been published.

(I get that it may be interesting to see how a page evolved, but often only a single finished panel was in the WIP threadd, so no new information there)

There was concept art there too.
