And just like that we calm the savage barbarian, or not the "eyes" are a bit off still, not red just not back to the normal color. Also have never had a restore from backup flow smoothly, I predict some rocky roads yet to come.
Aw yess..a glorious Hobbit quotation!
(Why do you keep ignoring him?…aren't you threatened by his armour (as strong as tenfold shields…tenfold girly shields)? *futile arm flailing*)
These pages though… :0
(So beautiful…so much detail!!)
"Now that you've asked nicely, Aeneas, of course Rose will be happy to speak with you. However, please be patient. She will be with you in a moment, but she has to finish fixing her face." ^_^
"Head bolts being tightened in five, four, three, two, one ... Coherence, we have coherence!"
"Thank you for waiting. All AI's are currently serving other callers. Your call is very important to us. Stay in the matrix and the next available AI will be with you soon."
With his memory fixed his personality will do some shifting around sadly some parts of his personality are now part of him. He will always be a bit weird.
Will he be demanding a bowl of green m&ms - and only green ones - be supplied and kept full in his dressing room before each appearance in the comic? :D
Actually I think she looks a bit weird with her eyes fully open -- they are kinda oversized... (I'm sure it's intentional, like in many manga styles -- but it looks more weird in a photorealistic rendering than in hand drawings...) Still very pretty (especially in the last panel); but not what I would call "hot"... Rather too much like a doll.
Aeneas: I. HAVE. THE POWER!!! Your Sword of Omens cannot harm me - my wings are like a shield of steel! Give it up, Baron Greenback! I know you're behind this!
Yasakani: Does he mean me?? (Baron Greenback voice) Ah, Dangermouse! Welcome to my lair!
Kagami: Don't encourage him. Although... *creates security blanket* *throws it to Aeneas*
Aeneas: *grabs blanket* *presses it to his head* *sits down* *commences sucking thumb*
heh indeed. I made a lot of the pieces over time. Most of these renders took about a hour to two hours due to all the transparency's and ray tracing. You should also see the light rig I used :D
Been trying to keep up with this comic, but getting cofused with who's who. I know Aeneas, but can someone give me some background on the other 3 characters in this scene? I don't see any of them on the cast page.
re the Gem, it looks a lot like the 'Seed' if I remembering right from the Blueseed anime, though that was blue and this is a more enlightened color. To be honest I don't remember the plot of that anime. I just remember monsters, school girls, school girls fighting monsters and the school property being destroyed. Thinking about it now that's most anime scenarios - a school that gets destroyed by monsters.
There's a fine line between "inspired by" and "full-on ripped-off-from". The girls are outright named for the Treasures and have them as personal emblems. I have no regrets. :D
Interesting and entirely irrelevant side note: The Wikipedia picture of the artist's impression of the unseen artifact Kusanagi no Tsurugi has it as what appears to be a straight broadsword, or possibly a short sword similar to a Roman gladius -- not a traditional katana.
Well, hmm. Yeah that cannon kind of dwarfes my sword. I would have been Thorin across the room if it had gone off. So's me a-gol to a safer place for a while...
I wanted to write more, as in why, but I was feeling pretty punked at the time, and wanted to at least say *something*.
Between the visual 'chaos' (and it really isn't, but it does convey the turmoil beautifully) and A's dialog meandering through the vasty wreckage of his mind amidst it's rebuilding, and the level, steady, determined dialogs of those who are doing the rebuilding, I'd swear you guys had an in with some very good psych textbook, at the very least. Collected together, this entire sequence really is a masterful visual look at an AI-brain (and, too, the human one, by extension).
Unlike you two, I am having a hard time finding the right words to convey what I want to say, but I hope I've at least managed to get some of it.
LOL on the sub-text on the page. It is a MORE uneven contest than I imagined it to be. It is funny to think of Aeneas struggling to push past Kusanagi and utterly FAILING. She is holding him off with one hand and holding a multi-layer conversation at the same time. Doesn't even NEED her full attention to keep him in check.
Heh, yeah, that's what happens when someone completely different "fight" one another, the outcome may be completely different than expected.
Reminds me of a short story I once wrote for fun, called "the Lava people" Probably a bit long to post here, unless there's a spoiler tag or something.
... kinky! :D
but this page? Awesome as always!!!

Ps.
Kusanagi looks even hotter today. I suspect that that's because she's not got an angry expression on her face.
...and wow, is she beautiful... *sighs*
And yes, mjkj... That last panel especially I find Kusanagi beautiful in.
Bit of an anime link there?
Yasakani: Does he mean me?? (Baron Greenback voice) Ah, Dangermouse! Welcome to my lair!
Kagami: Don't encourage him. Although... *creates security blanket* *throws it to Aeneas*
Aeneas: *grabs blanket* *presses it to his head* *sits down* *commences sucking thumb*
Yasakani: *giggle* \/\///\/\/\//\/\/\ /\\//\/\////\\\/\/\//\/\
Kagami: ...Quite so, Woodstock, quite so. Lucy, keep an eye on your brother. Oh, and I think Peppermint Patty has fixed herself...
Kusanagi: My name isn't Lucy-
Tokyo Rose: *restore complete* Eyes down, people, let's wrap this up. Schroeder, keep that link open. Marcie, finish unscrambling that data.
Kyle: Yes, ma'am.
Kagami: Yes, sir.
>:=)> Sorry, Aeneas's monologue kept reminding me of old cartoons.
Thank you for the compliments!
She came up wit the character designs and the personality. The Gem was modeled for us By Visoneer from a long time ago.
Three Treasures by Tokyo Rose on 4 October 2013 and has information in the Author's comments.
Darn all those magical schoolgirls !
Oh, and I'm guess that they are inspired by the Imperial Regalia of Japan ?
Illegal Aliens for information on the STOP THAT! cannon. :-D

Aw, no spoiler tag in comments.
I really like the banter between them on this page. (^_^)
