5-35: Never thought of it that way
So I just realized that by posting two pages this week I kinda fucked up the pattern of two pages on the first and third weeks of the month and one on the second and forth.
I guess it doesn’t really matter?
Society6 is doing daily sales right now. As I type this it’s 20% off tote bags and pillows. It may be something else tomorrow.
Also I’m going to start doing commissions on a regular basis. I really want to keep my hours at the coffee shop low and if I can make up the difference with commissions I can spend more time drawing. I’ll be putting together a more formal post later this week but basically I’m going to be charging an hourly rate of $15 (plus paypal fees). I draw reasonably quickly so most sketches and smaller drawings will cost between $15 and $45 regardless of what the actual content is. I figure in the long run it will be simpler and cheaper than having flat rates for many different kinds of drawings.
I’m going to put a cap on the number of commissions I’ll take per month based on the amount of money I’d need to earn. I.e. If I hit the cap I wouldn’t necessarily have to work at the coffee shop that month. I seriously doubt I will hit it but if that happens I’ll roll new people over to the following month.
If you’re interested in reserving a commission send me a message (secretcollect (at) gmail.com works fine) and tell me what you want. I’ll get back to you and tell you how long I think it will take and thus how much it will cost.
Cool?
Cool.
What are the rules in this universe for that iron thing? I guess the gun was loaded with iron bullets, but why then didn’t Rika’s sword hurt him?
I know there’s this “cold iron” thing in folklore where forged steel may or may not count as cold iron. Hmm, it’s just that Ian’s “the weapon has to be iron” is not exactly enlightening here. Or did I forget something important and Rika’s swords aren’t actually steel?
It was stated earlier in the chapter that the sword is made of silver.
The other one is actually made of wood.
And yeah, forged steel doesn\’t count as cold iron in this mythology since it\’s an alloy. Things made of wrought iron do.
Historically faeries are vulnerable to iron because it was man made, and thus unnatural. If I kept with that line of reasoning for this the faeries would be vulnerable to steel, and plastic, and all kinds of things. They\’d be far to easy to deal with and not threatening enough.
Right, and it was mentioned only in November! I had the nagging feeling that I forgot something, but I looked further back at Rika’s appearances and didn’t find anything.
