Commentary for February 22, 2020: In Eon’s Comic, Hughes, the original Commander of the Royal Guard was a human. But I decided to re-cast him as a grizzled old fox for Eon’s World. It’s just easier to create a more interesting and unique character with these sprites that way. He is, otherwise the same character, however. But yeah, you’ll be seeing more of him soon, and that’s another character making their Eon’s World debut here in Chapter 21. So that’s 3, for people keeping score. Believe it or not, neither of the stories from Eon’s Comic that I’ve stitched together to create this Frankenstein chapter featured Ballista, even though Eon and Silky were held hostage in the latter of the two (Eon’s Comic #71 through #75). I hadn’t actually introduced Ballista yet and still didn’t until a few of stories later (Eon’s Comic #86). Silky’s homeland was mentioned, but it was the Meridian President who was shown to be most invested in her safe recovery, if only for the sake of good international relations. If I hadn’t already introduced Ballista in Chapter 12, she would have naturally debuted here. In Eon’s World, someone like President Mortimer really is not concerned with the wellbeing of a royal like Silky, and it simply makes more sense for the Steward of Britannia to be the one responding to the disappearance of Britannia’s princess. Finally, I make no apology for that joke in panel 4. I felt a little bit of levity before this chapter gets super intense would be nice. In any case, Tikal is, I feel, very wise, and I wanted to get that across in this interaction with Sora-Ya. Sora-Ya hasn’t spoken openly of war and conquest with her, but she doesn’t need to. Tikal grew up among people like Sora-Ya and she can read the signs; she sees her father in Sora-Ya and knows better than to trust her. I’ve always loved Tikal, but I feel like I originally wrote her in Eon’s Comic as a bit of a Cassandra -- someone with future visions but who was otherwise pretty helpless -- and I didn’t want that this time. I wanted her to be a strong character with actual agency, who will just straight up call out someone like Sora-Ya and tell her “no”. |
