Two Moons - 287

Hallo!
Eep finals are kicking my ass..
After next week - no more school… ever. again.

So I made a little collection of pictures covering pretty much all the reasons I've been so busy and not doing my comic so much -
Here!

So I've been thinking about something…
When you ask people what kind of music they listen to they usually answer with, "Oh, lots of stuff." Or "Oh, anything." That's not really true, usually.. Mostly it's like, "Anything but rap and country." Or "Lots of stuff" meaning that they like at least one song from every genre, but not every song from every genre.

And usually it's not the genre that people like so much as just something about the music.. The way it's paced or the chord progressions..

I used to have this theory that all current music stems from older music which stems from older music, and if you follow the path all the way back, you'll find that your favorite music is all of this singular category…
Only I don't really think that's true anymore.

My main problem is that when people ask me what kind of music I like, I say, "Russian pop, Finnish metal, German industrial, and Bach." And then the other person fixates on something and says something like, "Yeah, I like death metal too!" Wuh?? Did I say I like death metal? Or they say, "Oh so you're one of them Rammestein fans." That's rather limiting…

So anyway, I had this idea.. instead of saying what music you like, say what you like IN music.
List a bunch of attributes that matter to you, and then say how much of your music it's applicable to or how much it matters to you.

So! After all that.. Here's my own opinion:
1. Technical skill is 85 percent important
2. Passion is 60 percent important
3. Pace is 50 percent important
4. Instruments is 5 percent important
5. Style is 30 percent important
6. Language/lyrics are 10 percent
7. Association is 2 percent

Now it's your turn!

Respondy -

Animegal12 - What's your favorite food?

Bobo 81 - Hahahaha you're right!!

Kaminari - Everyone needs more hot bishie angels.
They were totally right at the edge of where the forest meets the city.
You can refer to this page

You're not being harsh! What I meant a few pages back was.. When people ARE trying to criticize you, when they find some obvious flaw and they DO point it out.. Only they point it out as if you weren't responsible for it ending up looking bad.. Like someone going, "Oh wow I never knew Areock had two left hands! You're so creative in making up mutants." When obviously Areock is not supposed to have two left hands and that is a mistake.

Ashlee S - Everything but the "Hyah"!

Tantz - Okay then! I will keep on picturing you that way.

Alej - I think as I get farther along in my comic, I hold myself to higher standards.

EmilyTheStrange - Thanks! It's getting even better!

Ozone - Fragmented battle scenes are awesome. One day I want to do them as good as Ashlee S.

Astarael - I'm glad you have faith in Cyff!!

EJB - Okay. BUt I thought manipulative implied a motivation behind it. Otherwise it's just the other person being easily swayed..

JillyFoo - Maybe it's because nothing really happened on the last page.. Aside from the first panel, there's just Cyff moving, and Issen glancing back, and more Cyff moving, and more Issen glancing back - just to fill up panels.

Freakeh - Oo, why is it more artistic?
I don't really get what you're saying about bones and skin and wings but I'm glad it all works for you! I like Cyff's design myself.
Thanks!

Kaj - Okay the Cyff-back-shot is fine. Everything else is kind of off.. Like Issen's eyes being not quite right, and Rhync ending up larger than Issen, and Issen's head off centered.. Stuff like that. But I'm over it now, I like this page.

dracco - Thank you!
