98 – Gaze
Gaia is now privvy to something nobody else has seen.
And poor Liliane is probably end up with a few complexes if she hangs out with that girl too much.
I really love drawing Liliane. She’s one of my favorite characters in the comic.
As always, if you like Frivolesque, don’t forget to comment or like the Facebook page!
It’s because her eyes are portals into the fifth dimension where one stares infinitly into the past and future at the same time. That has to be it right?
You might have something there.
I can’t help but notice that her eyes seem to cast beams of light onto Gaia’s face.
Liliane’s eyes are like twin eyes of Sauron ain’t they? :P
…
This is a disturbing thought.
The fact that the light on Gaia’s face seems to be emanating from Liliane’s eyes doesn’t exactly help matters. O_O
Yeah. That’s was just my attempt at making Gaia look pale, or sick. I guess it didn’t work. T_T
There there! -_-
Sadly I must to say that it gives me the same impression (light from Liliane’s eyes). To me it do not look as pale nor sick at all, sorry if disappointed.
In the other hand the expression is way clear and the random bubbles perfectly play the role :)
Maybe I should redraw it…
Those eyes!
Let’s be real for a sec, though, very few people were exclusively a bully or a victim, most people were bullied by some and bullied other too.
I was bullied a lot as a kid, but I never bullied anyone.
Well… not seriously at least… :/
I believe janeane garafalo in romy and michele’s high school reunion, everybody made somebody’s life a living hell in high school [no matter the social spectrum].
That’s what I thought too, but then years later I was telling my friend about all these hilarious pranks we played and she pointed out (and in retrospect I sort of agree) that those were a bit bulliesque…
Also there was this one annoying kid in grade 6 that I liked to fight every once in while, but in my defense he was REALLY annoying
I guess there are various levels of bullying. The benign level, I consider a part of life I guess. It’s the perpetual harassment that’s dangerous, at least to me.
Yeah, if some people deliberately go after a specific person day in and day out, it definitely goes beyond normal teasing.
But even “playful” and “benign” are still relative terms, I would consider a school fight that’s one on one where no one ended up in the nurses office normal, but not everyone. I don’t really have a point, by the way, I’m just philosophizing because I saw several comics dealing with bulling recently.
It’s a tricky issue.
Basically, kids are displaying natural life form behavior that humanity has tried to suppress for centuries in order for us to work as a society.
The “not seriously, at least”… Introspection about my own such behaviour years later has revealed to me that that’s pretty much how bullying happens. It’s serious to the bullied party.
How can I say. Yeah, I did annoy some of the younger kids, but only in a playful manner. I mean, I was roughed around by the older kids too, but that’s not what I counted as bullying. The bullies, as far as I’m concerned, are those who never ever stop making your life a living hell in school. I’ve never been that to anybody, but I had a ton of ’em on my ass every day.
I wasn’t really being bullied, but I did get into a situation where a teacher helped me stealthily leaving school through the backdoor ^^;
Hope this doesn’t come across as rude, slight typo towards the end on panel 1. Need the S in Help her make friends. Hope it’s not a problem…
Also, considering what her eyes looked like when she was a Primary Schooler, add a few more years, yeah I can see them becoming more scary. You Humans age a lot faster than us Cybertronians…
I fail to see how it could be considered rude to point a typo out. :)
Thank you. I REALLY wonder how I managed not no notice that one before.
But then again people are known to speak grammatically incorrect from time to time so there is that.
There’s posting random comments, and making a proper newspost. The content of the comic is even more important.
I try not to have any typos in there.
Typos are a different matter.
Hahaha Classic :)
Well, it could be worse, at least she have a nice smile.
D**n, I really want to see her eyes now.
I’m so totally not original. T_T
Oh, well, you are in good company :)
Just in case: play a classic in one’s personal way is totally ok. Sorry if it felt like devaluing, it wasn’t the intention.
No no, I didn’t feel like a negative comment at all. :)
“Gaia is now privvy to something nobody else has seen.”
A couple of other people did see it in #96…
They didn’t make it.
Lol.
I still think 96 doesn’t count.
Adult Liliane and her kid self are 20 years apart. ;)
Indeed. They’ve had time to…mature…
You’re not talking about her eyes, are you?
Yeah I was actually :P. If they were like that as a kid, imagine how much scarier they could be now, with more time to learn how to move her face more accurately, the years possibly aging them & intensifying them…
So you weren’t talking about her chest puppies then? :D
Naaa, not this time :P. But it was fun leaving out the context, & seeing how people reacted to it. She was shown as a Primary School kid in #96, she’s a year younger than her sister who’s also there meaning she’s not in her last year yet, so it’s unlikely she even HAD chest puppies then… :P
…I am learning… :P
BTW :) I was wondering since a while, there’s a lot of characters at Gaia’s match, is their attendance intended as canon?
In her intro comics?
I don’t think so. I just crammed the crowd with as much people as I could.
I don’t really think Popeye and Pixel Mario are canon to the Frivolesque universe. ;)
Even in the serious side, Marie-Neige, Chloe, Saki, Conroy, Flore and Liliane are in the crowd, but the story, nobody knew who she was prior to meeting her so I’d take those crowd shots with a grain of salt. ;)
Ok, I figured that much, but wanted to check, maybe Gaia had mutant powers that avoid recognition, who knows :)
Just a few more to the big 100th strip :D Can’t wait :D
Neither can I! :)
SOON!
It’s a great milestone :) but also is the start of ONE MONTH hiatus :( I feel conflicted.
Hey, if I can ask for a filler, or a vote incentive, could it be a big-enough-to-read version of the Flore’s mini whiteboard? It seems a lot of fun :)
I do like Gaia, but she does have tendency to say exactly what’s on her mind when maybe a bit of tact would be better. I have to wonder though what she saw in Liliane’s eyes. Certainly she was a fierce looking kid when she was protecting her sister, but you would hope that wasn’t a permanent condition. Certainly it’s not reflected anywhere else in her appearance.
That’s Gaia’s biggest problem. She doesn’t have any filters. And I don’t see that changing anytime soon.
As for what she saw… who knows…
“And I don’t see that changing anytime soon.”
Yes! I take your word! :)
because Liliane’s eyes are too beautiful :3
@_@
What the niflheim… Gaia, that is COMPLETELY freakin inappropriate. >=(
Where does she get off telling someone she only half-knows to take her sunglasses off?!
Would she tell a paraplegic to get out of their wheelchair?
I mean come ON. That is totally not okay.
Gaia is not known to understand proper social behavior. She’s quite invasive.
What’s so weird about asking someone to take her sunglasses off?
I think it’s a lot weirder to wear sunglasses while talking to someone, though in Liliane’s case I can now understand why.
ill have an exceptional time nurturing this soul
