Grrl Power #1353 – Memento petite mori
This is another page that would have benefited from me having a bunch of assistants that do backgrounds for me. The “ball” that Dabbler is at is supposed to be in a big room with fancy chandeliers and about a hundred other alien/fantasy characters standing about. Instead it looks considerably smaller. But, you know, just pretend I drew that.
It’s a good thing Dabbler is only sharing the audio and visual portions of her memory, and not other senses. What a succubus considers delightful might be sensory overload for an unprepared, non-succubus mind. Even if it was just a brief slip.
“The mind’s eye” is a common expression in English, but in reality we have a mind’s every-other-body-part-and-function as well. The mind’s ear, the mind’s stubbed toe, the mind’s sneeze. The mind’s sex-with-a-rock-guy. Dabbler’s memories aren’t as high-fidelity as an Aetholith’s, but you can be sure certain events are filed with more clarity than others.
Oh look! The vote incentive has an update!
It’s not quite where I wanted it for this update. I kind of skipped over posting just the flats and started shading Heatwave, but hadn’t gotten as far as J-Watt. But I figured I’d post what I had.
I’ll hopefully have more progress soon as things here are kind of slowing down. Still putting the house together after the move, but there’s still plenty to do. The Patreon version is updated as well.
Double res version will be posted over at Patreon. Feel free to contribute as much as you like.
Boulder of her to do a rock guy.
No schist.
Gneiss puns.
He rocked her world.
This angel needs to be a vote incentive
Ditto. Daaaave!
Let’s hope she didn’t take him for granite.
I don’t think so, she is a gneiss girl.
Don’t get all sedimental! This story’s already off to a rocky start!
Don’t expect it to hit rock bottom when it have just started.
Now imagine a rock-lady with Tourmaline for her “sensitive bits” XD She’d essentially censor herself…
Interesting how we can see the out-of-focus tips of her lower horns in the view.
I hadn’t even noticed that, but looking back, they were actually visible last page too, albeit not on the frame with her looking in the mirror. Looking back further at the other time we saw Dabbler’s POV, the training session with Vehemence (page 977), they were also present, and in fact were much more visible and a bit more in focus (although I’ve little doubt I missed them then as well, being more concerned with what was filling up a good deal more of her vision). I was going to comment that the horns should be transparent from Dabbler’s POV, just like your nose is to you (unless you’ve got a particularly-short nose – or a rather long one, in which case you’ve got a blind spot right near the middle of your field of view), but then I realized the relative locations of her nose and horns would overlap with each eye, which would make the part where they do so (basically the entirety of the visible part of the horns)opaque.
Max had to put her foot down when Daz tried to project it up on the Jumbotron
Gives the phrase “ribbed for her pleasure” an extra gritty meaning.
Does anyone here remember when the comic was all about Sydney and not dabbler? I mean it’s getting to the point where every once in awhile a story beat gets thrown in and then dabbler does something else and we pay attention to her for a few months. Or Dabbler and her sister.
Yeah, Dabbers also possibly one of my least favourite characters at this point. Since, despite being a character all about dabbling into different areas, she is terribly one note.
But this has seemingly become the Dabbler show, featuring Sydney and Maxima.
And not everyone has a Mind’s Eye. Look up Aphantasia
