On the one hand, it seems the poor lad has been deceived and betrayed by somebody in unreliable (possibly magical) clothing.
On the other hand, Boobies!
Isn’t “head height” a wonderful thing?
It’s good to know that – given he survives that and keeps his sanity – once Peonie is free, she will be able to control him by doing what she does best: flashing her t!!s.
I don’t think that’s the nymph (although I could be wrong). Looks more like the female Rus skinwalker they encountered back when Mira was struck down. Sans clothing, of course. Which seems strange, since the Rus maintained their clothing when they shifted (major oversight there, Drowemos, missed opportunities for more sexeh nooditee). Maybe she is the nymph. Her face looks too noble and haughty for the nymph, though.
In other matters, Cytx clearly knows he’s about to die, so he’s focused on what’s important – boobies.
Kohnez – Panel 4’s censorship looks drawn by someone else because it was…by me! 🙂
Drowemos and Shi Peng only write/draw one version, and I think they have some special pleasure in leaving me to figure out how the heck to censor everything. For example, the original Panel 3 actually has its bottom bar a few millimeters lower, and I had to raise it and draw in more brick to cover things up there. I figured the fake hair in Panel 4 was slightly more ascetic than a black bar, but I absolutely lack Shi Peng’s drawing talents. 😉
Dan, the censoring would look fine if you matched the hair colors. Doesn’t your art program have a sampling tool that you can use to take the colors from the original art and replicate them in your additions? Or were you trying to make the censoring obvious so that people know what they’re missing by not paying?
Honestly, I use a really old monitor scavenged from a friend of mine, and the hair at her head level (where I took the sample), and the hair at her hip level look the same on my machine. On this computer I can see that the shades are off.
However, if it helps indicate that there may be more in the members section for those interested then, in my opinion, that’s a fine reason to leave it be. 😀
Well it can’t be the lady Rus…they were all wanting to execute him for using magic…this lady is using much more sophisticated magic than the simple shapeshifts the Rus were using…
You know guys, our favorite young wizard in training has enough mind to compose a rational and grammatically correct sentence. I think he is more in command of himself than it appears…
I’ve got a feeling the cheesecake is going to learn that soon…but just a HAIR too late…
heh, I loath living in this quasi(sic) prudish age. Oh for the days when this kind of thing was uncensored on the walls of businesses. Both genders noless! damn that white god adn his followers. (sulk) ;^)
“White God”? Assuming we are literally all made in God’s image, he is white, black, brown, Asian, Caucasian, European, African, South American, North American, Canadian, Mexican, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese, Mongolian, Russian, Australian, New Zealander, Northern, Southern, Eastern, Western, above the sea, under the sea, over The Hill, across The River…
Well this explains several things, not least is the real reason that he unconsciously called her a nympth and why she got perturbed by that. My guess now is that she survived the pond and got employed by the fracture as part of their apparent tactics of honey trapping powerful males into their service (what I think they plan for Denver). Not that she’s likely to survive much longer, not like it matters if his control is off if all he wants to do is rip you apart.
Now, Now, Boss Hogg, Assuming there IS an all-powerful universe creating God, He/She would certainly be powerful enough to take on any form or color they wanted. I bet if God wanted to mess with your mind, he could show up looking just like he does in South Park.( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShsRgJDjDCo )

@Hikaro, since when does ‘God’s Image’ have anything to do with the physical form?
I always took it to be more closely related to the arena of cognition.
Conscious thought, self-awareness, and general understanding.
The other things are just irrelevant details. It is not as if any portion of a trans-temporal higher being that protrudes into our detectable universe is a significant portion of that beings essence, any more than a sock-puppet I stick in a box is indicative of my own essential nature as a human being, and if that sock happens to be cotton, polyester, linen, inside-out, has large threads, small threads, or is even covered with holes and patches of various colors and fabrics, that still does not have any real indication of who I am as a person…
It’s not the nixie – the face and hair are all wrong. Same with the enchantress. It’s the Rus shapeshifter – the pointed chin, the arrogant sneer, the long, flowing, raven-black hair – it’s her.
The majority of my little speech was meant to say one thing and one thing only: God is God is Allah is Buddha is All Other Religious iconography, which is simply to say: It doesn’t matter what symbol you pray/give your life to, yours is mine, mine is yours.
Ok…I got this.
1) Definitely the Rus woman.
2) They are called ‘skinwalkers’. The term skinwalkers seems to me to be descriptive…they walk in the skin of others. So if they have the skin of (or something that belonged to) another, that is the form they take.
3)That being said, her assuming the form of Mira wasn’t “sorcery” it was merely her shape-shifting ability. Notice that she didn’t start to return to her true form until she removed the black waist covering; she takes that off and starts changing, as the rest of the clothing falls/rips off, she turns back to her true form. As for the whole clothing thing, I’m guessing she stripped naked before assuming the form of Mira. Therefore she wouldn’t have clothes when changing back.
4) @Elfguy: What is she doing that’s more ‘sophisticated magic’ than the basic shape-shifting of the Rus? I haven’t seen her do a single thing other than lead Cytx on.
5) This is either her deciding that she can use a sorcerer (who knows for what) oooooooooooor, this is her way of getting him on his own so she can kill him as her laws demand.
6) There is no 6, the 6 is a lie.
^ It’s possible that medics would have removed Mira’s corset to treat her wounds and the Rus woman could have stolen it while Mira is currently off in some medical hospital receiving treatment/recovering. ^_^
Assuming for a moment this IS the Rus skinwalker, why does she think he’s “shooting blanks” magically? She saw him blast Bohrs and throw up a wall of fire, not to mention the “Strangling the other shapeshifter up in the air” bit…The only way she could find out about the previous failures would have been if Mira TOLD her.
Remember after he lost his hand? He turned into a bird and flew across the lake to where he cut off our boy’s hand here to replace his… Linky: http://www.exiern.com/?p=149
@deantay It is still possible it’s any of them. The links you provided are from an older style of art that the comic used. Most of the characters look at least slightly different than they did then.
Well, first off is the discussion about who Madam Black Haired Shapeshifter is, then came a brief conversation about the nature and/or skin color of God, now we’re back to the shapeshifter discussion and somebody mentioned the older style of art vs. the new style of art.
obviously somebody didn’t get the historical reference and wanted to be offended and that person is obviously on an agenda other than the comic which kicks all gods in the a!s and poke them in the eye with a sharp crap coverd stick.
Ya know, I’m a little worried about Cytx now – after looking over the comic a couple of dozen times (hot nekkid skinwalker action keeps bringing me back), I’m worried he may have something not-so-nice in mind. I mean, yes, there are boobies where he’s looking, but this kid is posessed by Faden… and her heart’s right around there, too… Mira was kind of an anchor for Cytx, kept him trying to use his powers for good – now that he’s really alone, there’s nothing to stop Faden from taking control.
It has also been pointed out in my household, it is often a VERY bad idea to look an enchanter in the eyes. He may well know where her eyes are and be specifically not looking there simple because her eyes are a REAL threat.
Or he could just be obsessed with mammary glands.

Yeah, I wouldn’t be looking at her eyes either.
Gotta say, she looks hottest in panel 2.
The NYPMH lives! Guess getting her pond blown up didn’t finish her off.
Nice but the censhorship at panel 4 its too obvious, looks like drawn by someone else x_X.
I don’t think that’s the nymph (although I could be wrong). Looks more like the female Rus skinwalker they encountered back when Mira was struck down. Sans clothing, of course. Which seems strange, since the Rus maintained their clothing when they shifted (major oversight there, Drowemos, missed opportunities for more sexeh nooditee). Maybe she is the nymph.

……. [Stare] …… Didn’t see that one coming.
Just remember, Cytx. The Cheesecake is still a lie!
The cheesecake may still be a lie but it just got a lot tastier looking!
Dan, the censoring would look fine if you matched the hair colors. Doesn’t your art program have a sampling tool that you can use to take the colors from the original art and replicate them in your additions?

Dan, um, why are you doing art editing with a crappy monitor? That’s like trying to be a recording engineer with Radio Shack headphones.
Ha, I didn’t know it was THAT bad! I have a newer one I can swap it with if playing with the screen settings doesn’t correct the issue.
Well…can’t quite tell if this is the female Rus or the enchantress that created the geletin Peonie. If it is the enchantress…CALLED IT!
and if not…well I was close 😉 either way I think Cytx’s head is about to explode.
Well it can’t be the lady Rus…they were all wanting to execute him for using magic…this lady is using much more sophisticated magic than the simple shapeshifts the Rus were using…
You know guys, our favorite young wizard in training has enough mind to compose a rational and grammatically correct sentence. I think he is more in command of himself than it appears…

Lady : Hey, eyes up here!
Dude : Yeah, but boobs down here ! 🙂
here we go again ,zagging and zigging, lol, interesting changes tho.
Boy’s got his priorities straight at least.
heh, I loath living in this quasi(sic) prudish age. Oh for the days when this kind of thing was uncensored on the walls of businesses. Both genders noless! damn that white god adn his followers. (sulk) ;^)
Awww, she’s not a red-head anymore!
“White God”? Assuming we are literally all made in God’s image, he is white, black, brown, Asian, Caucasian, European, African, South American, North American, Canadian, Mexican, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese, Mongolian, Russian, Australian, New Zealander, Northern, Southern, Eastern, Western, above the sea, under the sea, over The Hill, across The River…
My point is this: If my God did it, so did yours.
Well this explains several things, not least is the real reason that he unconsciously called her a nympth and why she got perturbed by that. My guess now is that she survived the pond and got employed by the fracture as part of their apparent tactics of honey trapping powerful males into their service (what I think they plan for Denver). Not that she’s likely to survive much longer, not like it matters if his control is off if all he wants to do is rip you apart.
On a sidenote, maybe he’s trying to avoid her eyes, because he’s worried she might hypnotize him.
Now, Now, Boss Hogg, Assuming there IS an all-powerful universe creating God, He/She would certainly be powerful enough to take on any form or color they wanted. I bet if God wanted to mess with your mind, he could show up looking just like he does in South Park.( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShsRgJDjDCo )
lets leave those little—=pouhh—— out of this we have enough problems of our own, we dont need to kill kenny again
I say this again:

I present this as evidence: here’s the skinwalker girl, as depected arguing with Mira:
http://www.exiern.com/?p=1120
Here’s the wood nixie, as last depicted by Drowemos (she’s come up in some guest art since this):
http://www.exiern.com/?p=105
Thirdly, here’s the gelatin enchantress:
http://www.exiern.com/?p=122
It’s not the nixie – the face and hair are all wrong. Same with the enchantress. It’s the Rus shapeshifter – the pointed chin, the arrogant sneer, the long, flowing, raven-black hair – it’s her.
You’re right, definitely looks most like the Rus.

Oh…almost forgot….
7) Mira is dead, the Rus lady stole her body so that she could get her clothes in order to impersonate her.
^ It’s possible that medics would have removed Mira’s corset to treat her wounds and the Rus woman could have stolen it while Mira is currently off in some medical hospital receiving treatment/recovering. ^_^
Little girls don’t wear corsets…if she IS using a piece of clothing (instead of flayed skin) to shapeshift, more likely a shoe or something.
Assuming for a moment this IS the Rus skinwalker, why does she think he’s “shooting blanks” magically? She saw him blast Bohrs and throw up a wall of fire, not to mention the “Strangling the other shapeshifter up in the air” bit…The only way she could find out about the previous failures would have been if Mira TOLD her.
That doesn’t mean she believes that he could hurt her. Sure, she may have seen him do it all, but she could still consider him a weakling.
Lets not also forget that Faeden was also a skinwalker… Maybe she recognized the hand? Maybe she’s even related to him…
Eh? When did we see Faden shapeshift? The only real visual change in his appearance was when he lost the “Spooky robes” after the first fight.
Remember after he lost his hand? He turned into a bird and flew across the lake to where he cut off our boy’s hand here to replace his… Linky:
http://www.exiern.com/?p=149
Huh…totally forgot that…of course we don’t know if that’s the same “spell” the Rus use…by the way, how come the bird isn’t missing part of a wing?
you know guys, i think we’re all getting a little too wrapped up in this.
@deantay It is still possible it’s any of them. The links you provided are from an older style of art that the comic used. Most of the characters look at least slightly different than they did then.
I’m sorry, what were you all saying?

At least Ctyx’s eyes haven’t started glowing orange yet.
He’s glowing…just not the eyes…
He’s not glowing. There’s light on his chin, but that’s just reflecting off the Morphing Madam’s melons.
“I know where your eyes are”. I found the catchphrase of the century !
actually not dead or fake lying to keep him in line not dead?
Hikaru, I believe hipiap was referring to the way he’s blushing.
Wait, the skinwalker transformed into Mira?
But don’t they transform by wearing…?
Ew.
