Howdy, New Readers! Thanks for reading Exiern!
Written by Scott T. Hicken with art by Antipus, the comic updates Thursdays. Please check out the Archive to enjoy the earlier adventures of Typh and Peonie!
Exiern contains mature themes and is best for readers 18+.
I am digging the new art, but the image looks very compressed. Is there a way to full size the page to it’s normal resolution? Clicking it like on Deviant art would be nice.
@JMV – I’m still working on getting the new pages properly sized, and feedback is always appreciated! I know on a Windows machine you can right click the image and open it alone in a new tab. In this case it takes you to the image here;
Took me way too long to realize this was Typh. My basic thoughts were. “Why did Teresa change clothes so quickly. Why doesn’t she know what’s going on with this trip. Wait, why did she just refer to the person in front of her, who she is speaking to, by name? Oh wait, that’s Typh.”
I suppose that alone is a very good reason to not have Teresa keep her hair down. Although, on closer inspection, Typh’s nose is a bit bigger… and her eyebrows a bit thinner… And the artist seemed very careful to not give Teresa a forelock, which should have been a nice clue… but yeah, western style is a bit harder for differentiating female faces… not much you can do without making them butt-ugly (and normally, making a guy butt-ugly is the best way to establish him as another character)
Hrm… Also, shoulda gone off body-language a bit more… I don’t think Teresa would stand like Typh is in the first panel for -any- reason.
@ScottHicken that worked very well for me. Love the new artwork for the most part. Typh seemed a little edgier before, always beautiful, but less in a beauty pageant way? Not really a a criticism, as this has not been many pages as yet, and the artist could still be getting the feel of the characters. Awesome artist. I like the difference in the style.
@Evenas, if she does get “banished” she will be in much need of a mount to travel with. She can cover more ground on a steed (especially an enchanted unicorn) than on foot.
@Krahazik She is also going to where denver is and she can’t ride the unicorn once she is no longer a virgin. In that case it makes sense to get a regular horse ahead of time.

[firefox] right click on the image, select “view image”, left-click to change between full-page and and maximized view.

I’m loving the new art style. Excellent work.

Yay! Typh still has her wayward forelock 😀 (not as thick as it once was, but that’s okay :p)
Was thinking she was sending her sword to her grandmother, but then remembered that Princess P-cups was carrying it
@Guesticus I suspect the Unicorn. She doesnt have too much else to give out and someone was actuvely interested in it there.
@Evenas I like that idea
that first panel reminds me of the Sejic style
Did the artist just get replaced again?
I honestly have no recollection of this professor character.
@Evenas, if she does get “banished” she will be in much need of a mount to travel with. She can cover more ground on a steed (especially an enchanted unicorn) than on foot.

@Ben So, she is going to Denver for a mount. Got it.
@retcond. You might say that:)
I think she’s sending money (her reward treasure) to her Grand mother.
I’m probably going to sound silly, but… who is the professor again? I can’t remember who he is…
Archone: it’s not just you
I believes Its her Gold..
I believe he’s a cameo, first appeared as Isabel’s date at the party:

They seem to have a thing going.
