How old is Ivorysteppe Tribe? How long have Fjordor's daughters been part of Ivorysteppe? How old is Ravencrest Tribe?

Kique Nordin

Small dogs like that have about 0% chance at surviving in the wild so I won't be introducing breeds similar to those. Can't answer the second question.

Kisa

Will the plot introduce smaller dog characters like dachshund or a chihuahua? Or you sticking strictly to same dog structure and anatomy wise we had in comic so far. Also, what about feline diversity. Will there be other smaller ones? Would be nice to see more of already introduced wildlife too.

"I have plots, timeline and calendar scripted, the ending written, but I leave enough room for characters to go their own path, sometimes they choose something different from what I had originally planned". This means I often have a written path for a character, but it's open enough for change if needed.

Kique Nordin

I have a calendar for each day and write down what occurred on that day to keep track of the timeline. Script document of course, as well as lore and character documents.

Kique Nordin

I focus on the leading characters, which is about 8 characters, background characters have more of a vague description on how their personality is like.

NikuComics

Often do you let your characters tell the story? Are you completely loose and just follows along, drawing it out, are you strict and not allowing them to make their own decisions or a middle thing?

Sunny Daze

How do you keep track of it all? There are so many details. 🥰

Kique Nordin

I've posted a speedpaint not too long ago and one more is planned to be released soon.

Kique Nordin

I always go by genetics since there are certain rules within those genetics on what I can and can't do.

Kique Nordin

1. Not aside from Artisan. 2. Around 4-7 years old. 3. A couple of years. 4. 5-8 years 6. Steppe gazal, Rifle, Royale

There has been a few new markings added to the wiki lately but more are to be released. I don't accept pairings for customs, since the characters are quite personal to me, it feels a bit uncomfortable to give part of their look away. I don't do customs on the mixed bases other patrons may make.

Kique Nordin

There are more modifications individuals/tribes may do that are yet to be seen.

Kique Nordin

They came to see what the noise was all about.

mmmmaybe

I first go by what would be the easiest to draw but also at the same time look unique and interesting. It has to be fun for me to draw over and over, and also go along with the genetics of the character's bloodline.

Kique Nordin

Kargo

Kique Nordin

The inbreeding happened a bit further back in the bloodline. A small percentage of inbreeding is quite common in tribes where it consists mostly of one family.

Rnaribou

How do you decide on each character's personality and the pros and cons for each? For so many characters that has to be somewhat of a pain to script out into the comic.

Espenspruce

Would you ever make speedpaints again maybe as an inclusive tier reward?

thegodpan

Do you design new characters by genetics first, or by physical appearance (such as drawing what you think is pretty and assigning genetics later)?

Waikku

1. Did females in old MT have some actual tasks besides rising female pups and (trying) producing pups? Jonna made tribe paintings but did they helped in other things? 2. How old Koegos, Nikaia, Fairikh and Siqhaala are? 3. How long has Lahmina been Viscountess? 4. How old is Faekas? 5. Can you tell are there other tribe(s) who have major amount of Taiga lions as members? 6. From what breeds Bayou descended?

Are there updates planned for the Genetics on the Wiki? With Thane could one request designs based of pairings, and if so some line edits for mixed breeds?

Black Ice Gryphon

We've seen piercings and the tribe rank paints and the recent weighted piercings for the ears of your new breed reveal, which makes me wonder; are there other forms of body modifications or body art. Tail docking or ear cropping as extreme examples, shaving patterns into ones fur as a friendlier example.

Nippy

Back on page 524 after Kargo had just attacked Rogio, there's a scene where as Roamer is talking with Kargo, Ronja and some other Meteors are approaching (Vandi, Vigr, Javo, Fremja). Had they heard of the fight and were coming to confront/oust Kargo for attacking Rogio or were they on their way elsewhere? Will we learn how/why Fuss came to join the Meteor Tribe since it seems likely he originally came from Whispervale?
