WIP Discussion (Part 1!)

[Rookie17]

By the gods it's gonna be GORGEOUS

[GabrielGABFonseca]

I just wanted to say that this is, so far, my favourite piece you have drawn for Outsider, Arioch. Even more than Laughing Beryl!

It's so meaningful! There goes Alex, full of good-will and willing to become friends with Talon, and her look of total surprise (dare I say she might even be slightly scared?). I really like how the scene is set up, and I just love the body language of both characters! It brings so many parallels to the whole Human-Lori diplomatic conundrum; Humanity willing to extend a hand in friendship to the Loroi and the Loroi's surprise to the sheer strangeness of us humans, what with our too touchy-speaky way of life and being psychically inert, yet so similar in appearance to them!

All of this meaning that I absolutely loved this frame!

**raises eyebrow**

That pose seems sort of familiar.

**Entirely too much effort later**



Dear god I am terrible at this.

[Quazel]

For some reason I keep imagining Alex with a Joy Buzzer in his hand there.

So, which one is the Ninzadi, the Tiret, and the Timadi ?

[Quazel]

Why is there a such a bright light under the console on the left side of the cabin?

Yeah, it's "up there" for me, too. LOL.

This, plus the sneak-peek at 116 makes me hopeful that Alex may have found real friends and comrades in these pilots. They seem more his style.

Huh?

[Onaiom]

Huh?

Nedatan is the largest male philosopher order, which contains a numbers of sub-specialties, chiefly:

Nedatan Ninzadi: scholars, usually the offspring of Listel, who serve as a living repository of the sagas, which are not written down.

Nedatan Tiret: counselors who recount the sagas and discuss their meaning, in both public and private sessions, and who offer spiritual and psychological counsel. These discussions may involve direct telepathic contact via touch (even in public sessions), and the private sessions may also include sexual contact. (Insert Catholic Priest joke here)

Nedatan Timadi: sensitive telepaths who remotely monitor the distribution and well-being of the populace. They use similar techniques and devices to those also used by the Farseers.

[Arioch]

So, which one is the Ninzadi, the Tiret, and the Timadi ?

The fellow at upper left is a Nilodi ("Preserver"), which is a position of authority within the Nedatan order. The fellow at upper right is a Timadi ("Seer"). The other sketches are not yet identified with a particular character or position.

Why is there a such a bright light under the console on the left side of the cabin?

It illuminates the crawlspace behind the console, in addition to providing indirect lighting for the overall space.

I guess that Lando and Han hugging would just be very confusing. Then if you go to the Middleeast and they kiss you on both cheeks even if you are a stranger... Welcome to hell.

I saw the security recordings, Captain Jardin. I know where that hand has been.

[Arioch]

Creeeeepy.

[Krulle]

More handshake goodies?
Or are these offers of sampling the natural non-telepathy of Alex as sole known specimen of "Humaniti"?

"Sure. Here, give me a hand!"

[sunphoenix]

Hahaha! Wow.. these women are so pretty...

"Every little thing she does is magic!"
"Everything she does just turns me on!"
"Even though my life before was tragic,
Now I know my love for her goes on!"

They are all so kissable! Very Lovely Arioch! Can't wait!

[Absalom]

You sound like you haven't read the comic before :p .

Looks to me like she was being skeptical of the whole "no telepathy, not even on touch" thing, and Alex offered to demonstrate.

Though it would actually be hilarious - and detonate several premises of WtDwJ, not that I mind - if humans and Loroi are perfectly capable of telepathic contact - provided that the human is in an agreeable mood towards it.

[sunphoenix]

...I know.. what I have been wondering and postulated about as well in my writings as Sonnidezi!

[Diodri]

Oh snap!

Looks like that greeting might be a bit taboo.
