Wish that I could spend a month just coloring this one scene. I love it intensely. I just want to skip to the third story in Door, it is all about the spiders and the Overworld. <3 Wonder if I'll ever get there.
hehe. OH DID I NEVER MENTION THIS COMIC IS TECHNICALLY ABOUT EXTRATERRESTRIALS? XDDDD Vidu came from the stars. O_o He's an alien.
That landscape down there is my home. I live in a desert.
By the way, I controlled myself and only put in my favorite constellation. Spot it? It is unrealistically close to the Milky Way, but I had to stick it where there was room.

Last update, the three theories were...
Nidhogg, eater beneath the tree.
String Theory / M-Theory
And the most debated one, the theory of the three heavens, comes from ... Judaism technically I think. But the theory was more widely spread by Christianity. Only a few people got it. The three heavens are sky/clouds/birds, stars/moon/sun, and god/angels/paradise.
In this story, The Underworld is the first heaven, the Overworld is the second, and the Other World is the third.
I was amused that more people guessed Mormonism than guessed general Christianity. Buuut. Is that also possibly correct? I suppose it varies per Mormon what dogma they believe.
However, the theory many were guessing at here (I think?) was a posthumous 3 heavens destination in Mormonism. The old Jewish way of dividing up the sky and the new Mormon after death destination are not the same theory, though I have no idea how thoroughly it could be argued that they are related in concepts other than name.
So that was fun and interesting. 8D I enjoy a good frolic through the texts.

AH! Yeah see, I know about Nidhogg and string theory (especially string theory; I've read so much about it lol). ;n; I just couldn't connect them, derpderp.
I'm not surprised so many guessed Mormonism. In the after death Mormon dogma there are three heavens Telestial, Terrestrial, and Celestial. The first is associated with Stars, the second with the Moon, and the third with the Sun. Only in the last one can you be in god's presence though. I suppose that is why more people guessed Mormonism. Also I'd never heard of any other religions then Mormonism and Judaism that preaches 3 heavens but that may just be from my own lack of study. =3
This page is seriously so beautiful. It captures the same kind of beauty that can keep me mesmerized by the night sky for hours. <3
I am officially all caught up!!! god, i stopped reading for like, a few months there...too much stuff going on, but now chapter 2 is etched into my brain! lol
i freakin love this series-and you live in a Desert? wow. i live in lush Newfoundland!
You know, I honestly wish you would somehow find time to make that glittery web image into a super-intense painting. I think it would be gorgeous.
But I know how much I hate it when people assume I just have a bunch of spare time lying around, so I understand...
