30-3: Separate Thoughts

Ugh, sorry again. I reeeally didn't want to do anything today, and it might show in the fact that the imp is too big.

Although, I may actually change the Imp's size to be a bit bigger so I can fit in the detail. There's a LOT of stuff for the little guy, as you can probably tell by now, and I can't really draw it all in with him being about a span high.

I'm sure I still want him less than a cubit, though.

(I can't believe I'm describing him in ancient measurements.)

Despite me coming down with a bad case of Don't-Give-A-Crap, I will still strive to update next week. Mostly because I've just set up the plot for next week and the Imp's continued search for candy.

Oh yes. There will be Peeps.

I try not to get too religious in any of my comics - I avoided it in Melody & Macabre due to the fact that we had DEATH HIMSELF available to shoot down just about anything, and I don't want to propose any bias - and it's really really hard with this series.

In case anybody's not aware, alchemy is VERY heavily linked to religion. Though it generally depends on where it's practiced, to determine which religion links to it.

As for Gary's own faith, I think this is actually an attempt for him to find something. He's likely agnostic, while his parents are probably loose Christians. Yeah, they believe, but they don't really hold too heavily on it. Which allows me freedom to go with secular holidays rather than anything too religious.

If anybody would like to see their religions portrayed, you'd have to help me through them because I'm a bit rusty. Despite having researched just about every major religion in the world at some point in my past. XP

EDIT: Aaand I forgot the purple background. I'll get it tomorrow or something. Cripes.
