hello Thread! I just read the full run over the past day and a half. Really super enjoying it so far, it's gonna be a shock to the system to go down to three pages a week from 400 a day.  Here is a coyote wot I done. My brother and sister both read the comic and keep nagging me to read it so I did, but before that I made this as a Christmas gift for my brother at my sisters suggestion. He's a bit off model (some of it's the weird angle) but you can more or less tell what he's supposed to be, I could do a better job if I did a few revisions of the pattern, which I may have a go at so I have one for myself.

dumb brunette posted:Oh my goodness, this is it. This is the most adorable thing ever. How big is it? It's so cute I think he's about a foot long, little more with the tail. His legs are all jointed. Once I have some free time I probably will do a version two with slightly fixed proportions. Wouldn't feel right selling them without permission from Tom though. If people are really that interested, I can ask him if it would be OK.

Kismet posted:Would you be willing to share the pattern, for any needle enthusiasts in the thread? He looks a little more complicated than I've made before, but I can't think of a better excuse for a challenge. Sure, if I can even FIND the thing, assuming I even kept it. He's not super complex TBH, other than the large colour patched on the body most of the markings are just surface detail attached with a very fine whipstitch (the fleece's natural fluffiness hides the stitches). Other than that there's a gusset in the head, but he's mostly just two identical sides sewn together. I'll have a poke around my pattern folders over the next few days and see what turns up. EDIT: I've had a dig, and it doesn't look like I kept the original pattern. Have no fear though, I'm pretty much resolved to make a version 2 at this stage. Now that I've read the comic I have a much better feel for Coyotes character, and with it I can see a lot more about the original plush that doesn't really work. V2 should be more on-model and better capture the character. I won't be able to work on it for a few weeks, but once I have him done I'd be happy to share the pattern with instructions, and if Tom Siddell is OK with it I can think about making a few to sell on here.

1stGear posted:Reminder that Jones believes she could take Ysengrin and Coyote at the same time and they didn't argue too much. The only mention of a "wandering eye" with reference to mythology is in an Egyptian creation myth, where the creator god wishes to search for his first creations which have left him, and removes an eye which becomes a goddess. Not that it'd be that straightforward of course, even the mythology that is used fairly straightforwardly still has an interesting spin put on it.

My sister and youngest brother have been nagging me to read it for years. I read through the whole thing in two days, starting half way through the last arc (I think the live page at the time was the mandolin story). Also, hope no one is watching QI right now :P

MikeJF posted:I wonder if Robot could fight Jeanne. And if not, I wonder if Robot could safely dive to the riverbed. Jeanne is an Etheric being. Robots are robots. I guess the court robots have SOME Etheric factors to make them go, but for the most part they are material objects existing in the physical world. I doubt Robot could eve SEE her.

idonotlikepeas posted:That's more like it, Robot! We don't know enough about exactly what was done to her and how it has bound her spirit to the shore to know what would happen. Also any interactions between the robots and Jeanne are going to be extremely unpredictable, given that they practically worship her. They're not unthinking tools.

I could even make more specifically to sell on line if people are interested. This is an excellent idea. I know people personally who make a full living from online art commissions/sales. And they don't have a wildly popular webcomic drawing in fans.

Micgael posted:I am having some trouble reading that sign. How much was Tom selling them for? Small (city face) £20 Medium (most of them) £35-£40 depending on canvas thickness Large (the two tall coyote ones) £50 Perspex squares £30 each I ended up with Cityface for me, two medium coyotes (the close up of the face and a special order I made, based on the "scattering stars" comic page) for my siblings and a sketch. Those treatise prints are mighty tempting too, and there are friends who still need Christmas pressies. Tomorrow, I may have more money...

Ka0 posted:The knife is apparently still a secret but Annie did manage to remove Coyote's rear end in a top hat tag. I think the band dissipated naturally when she came home from the forest. Coyote don't give no shits what the court people know, but he's presumably got some stake in the forest folk being kept in the dark about favours he's doing for a human. Or he's just dicking around.

EoRaptor posted:I have to ask, if the goal is to kill Jeanne or free her? Because Coyote's tooth is only going to do the first of these things... Free her. They want to get to the device and get rid of it so Jeanne can move on http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=957 Jeanne wasn't killed by the device directly, the forest man was the one who was actually shot. I wonder if this is going to come into play...

Yonic Symbolism posted:It seemed to me to be a slip up. If you just tapped the robot with a normal sword nothing would even happen. And all she heard from Kat was that it was "really drat sharp", she didn't know that it cuts through ball bearings. Probably she was expecting the sword to bounce off of robot or at the least just leave a nick. Indeed. Swords don't cut metal, if they did you wouldn't be able to parry them. An experienced swordfighter given a new sword will assume it is still essentially a sword. The question is, can it cut vengeful spirits? And also what is it gonna look like in the ether, cause coyote himself looks freaking awesome.

Bobulus posted:See, I assumed the light killed that Shadowman, rather than the sword. Without a shadow to hide in, he had no resistance against it. I had to stare at the page for ages, but I *think* the light is cast by the actual sword. It doesn't seem to be coming from the lamps, it's the wrong angle and shape. I guess at this point we don't know if it's special shadow killing sword light, or if any old light would do the job

DontMockMySmock posted:The shadow-men can only survive if there is a shadow for them to be attached to - in this case, the shadow under Robot's feet. That's what all the lights on the bridge are for - to eliminate shadows for them to hop between. So when Robot is lifted entirely off the ground, Shadow 2 has no shadow to be connected to, and hence he dissipates momentarily. ? Isn't the shadow in that page a DIFFERENT shadow, which is killed by the light/sword/whatever?

VanSandman posted:I wonder why Jones is visibly concerned about Shadow 2? Surely she has encountered Robot and Shadow 2 before. Because if she encountered them before, it was when Shadow 2 was a shadow, which was as expected. Now he's solid. This is closer to the original form of the glass eyed men, and presumably a cause for concern.

Spaseman posted:I went for it and built my own that barely fit in below the limit. And speaking of avatars, are there any other threads where nearly all the posters have avatars from the topic of that thread? Its like Gunnerkrig has so many panels that would make for good avatars, everyone feels compelled to get one (with good reason). Back when it was airing Avatar: The Last Airbender generated a whole slew of avatars but it's been off air so long most people have moved on. I expect that when the new series starts we'll get the same thing though.

Seriously dude, go back and read from the start. The early art is still drat good, just more stylized. The early chapters chip along at quite a pace and you'll be through the old art in no time at all. You will seriously have NO idea what is going on if you start from here, it's a dumb idea.

Annie to me speaks with something close to Received Pronunciation/queens English/Generic Southerner. It might be because her narration in the first few chapters is very formal and clipped, or just 'cause I'm from the south(ish) myself.

I was talking to a game dev friend over the weekend and he was saying Kickstarter type set ups are really difficult to pull off in the UK because of the way our investment laws work. Essentially every donor to a "kickstarter" would essentially be classified as an investor, with all the attendant crap that entails. It's the reason that no one has been able to just clone Kickstarter for the UK market. I'm sure someone will be able to find some workaround or loophole at some point, but for now it's a bit of a legal minefield
