Epic magic effects in the third panel! And man, but she looks TICKED.

Sweet page. I love your colors Barb, they always rock! I can’t wait until Thursday, as I’m wondering why Claudius looks more curious than alarmed at the fact that Tychia’s about to blast him. O_o

That girl does not handle rejection well. XD

Hello!
Sean- thanks for catching that. I really need to get someone to help me proof this stuff. ^_^ I make a lot of boo boos…!!
Tiana- thank you! Yes, I think Ty is getting a little irritated that she isn’t ‘getting what she wants’.
Christine: thank you – yeah Thursday – yipe! I’m going to be pulling some all nighters this week…
PriairieGhost: Tychia doesn’t handle many things well.
Thank you for stopping by everyone!

Yay! She deserves a serious trouncing!

Also typo at “difficult†and possibly “ ’o’ †rather than “ o’ â€Â, not sure, but if it should be a contraction of “haveâ€Â, both “h†and “ve†are replaced by unwritten glottal stops with the “a†changed into “oâ€Â. I’m not so sure about the grammar of the last sentence either. Plus, you should check the apostrophe at “ ’ave â€Â, I think it came out as “ ‘ave â€Â.
Where we can look through the loop of Tychia’s Poii gem in panel three, there seems to be some shadow or darkness missing.
Either you made uncharacteristically many mistakes, or I did (which is possible).

Take her down Claude!
June 29th, 2009 at 12:03 pm

June 29th, 2009 at 4:56 pm
Sweet, fiery color!
Yay, Claude!! You kick that bum!
Hope you feel better soon, B – take care o’ yo’ self!

Thank you for continuing to make Claudius every girl’s dream guy. XD

And now the claws come out.
More than anything else, Tychia needs a major spanking.
June 30th, 2009 at 1:42 am
Eat pixie dust! XD

agreed – free editorial feedback can be obnoxious to some creators (who refuse to fix the problems on principle!), but it is one of the benefits to online comics before they go print. speaking of which, i ADORE the xylia/star trek vote incentive and who would not – non-xylia readers would vote for you if they knew what they’d be getting! but…there’s a typo there. fascinating has an s in it. if you don’t want our pedantic corrections but want it done right, paste the dialog into a word doc or in a firefox window before pasting it into your image file and the red-underlined words will offer automatic suggestions when you right click.
