P1: The dream.
I really enjoy using natural media to color things. Given the choice (and time) I'd choose paints and markers over computer any day. Sadly, it takes too long to meet a deadline, but it's fun to slip in a little here and there. Frost's dream was done in acrylics. And yes, he has Mother Issues. Can you tell?
P2: Frost is an insomniac. Mostly just from being overstressed most of the time. He also often has nightmares. And yes, Asmodeus has been watching him sleep. It wouldn't surprise me if he helped induce that little vampire-mother jaunt. Because he's creepy that way.
P3: When I do spreads, this is the arrangement I use. Since that's what I'm most familiar with, that's what I had Rhi use as well. The "<...>" indicates that Rhi is not thinking in English. She's from Germany and, while she does study several ancient and (I'm assuming) modern languages, I figured she still probably thinks in her native language. So the "<...>" are used to indicate words in German.
P4: What's that? Exposition you say? Indeed...When it comes to spreads, I find that the first two or three cards usually make sense. However, if you're feeling particularly jumbled, often it's hard to connect to other cards later on, particularly if they don't match what you WANT to see. Rhi is in this position now, which makes the meaning very difficult for her to discern. As we go through the story, we'll also go through each card as it matches an event or meaning, so you as the reader will get to discover the meaning of her divination at the pace that Rhi experiences it.

Man, your comics always give me chills.
I like the paintin effects up there and the Asmodeus cameo. There's too many things I like D:
And I think it very, very clever that you may end up incorporating the tarot cards' meanings into some events which can help lotsa people connect with the story even more squeee~
*waits patiently~*

Oooh, the chills you say? Excellent...That's what I was aiming for. I'm really excited about the Tarot theme. When I read Rhi had that as a main focus, I immediately thought a spread would be a good way to tie it all together.

I assumed, since she studied ancient languages, she'd probably have a few modern languages under her belt too. I speak German proficiently (but by no means fluently) so I figured she'd probably speak English better than I speak German, but still slip in German words now and again, especially if startled or out of sorts.
I love how Rhiannon has so many things that I love using...Tarot, German, dramatic fwoosh coats...it's like a feast for my hobbies...

My mother is from Austria, and all her family is still there, so I took four years of German to communicate with them. I'm not particularly good at speaking it (accent is good, but the vocabulary isn't there) but I can understand about 3/4 to 1/2 of what is said, depending on how thick their accent is.
If you want something translated for Rhiannon I would be happy to try. I could get my mom to double-check my grammar too.

They're fun. Unfortunately, you can't learn colloquialisms from a class, so I can only give you (mostly) straight phrases. That said, if you want something with more flavor I can ask my mom what types of things would be said in certain situations, and she can help me build a list for you.

Great job with the paints. It gives it a lovely abstract feeling from the rest of the panals that I just adore.
Asmodeaus is delighfully creepy....Though I can say happily I would never wish for that man to be near me when asleep. ._.;
Mmmm, I'm loving this so much. Can't wait for more.
Now if you'll excuse me I must run off and finish my SE entry.

Well if you want to use him its no problem to me. I'd be flattered. And besides I'm just doing many things to make his life misreable. XD

We'll see. A lot depends on the character of the Round. Round two I want to focus more on Rhi and Frost's dynamic, but if I make it to Round Three I may have a place, depending on the opponent.

Hehehe. Lady of the Moon. Goddamn, all I can think of is Emi when I see that.
But yeah, what Spire said, great job so far.

Emi doesn't strike me as the placid, mysterious type tho...Maybe she should get XVIII The Moon. Much more wild.
