So finally this page. As simple as the dialogue for it might seem, it actually took me quite awhile to figure it out – what it should be about, how it should flow and ultimately.. what’d be the point with it. Beyond the Tree is generally structured into essentially small Vignettes which all take part in a larger event or trail which then form the larger plot arc itself. While the latter two are generally rather clear, the small mini-stories taking place within the overall narrative often has to be made up on the spot, some with more difficulty than others.
The first question is often “What can I do that is fun/interesting?” which is then immediately followed by “How would it serve the characters?”.

I know I used to critize the rather slow pace and the catchphrases at the end, but I must say I’ve grown accustomed to your narrative style, and I enjoy it. Rather, I’m bothered when you dont post, that ruins a few days of waiting :)
Keep it up, I’m a captive audience!
1st =D
One point to make: 2nd last frame…. I’d hate to be that miner staring down Hani and Tiny =P
Ah damn…. 2nd aint bad either
and by the way, the “ah well..” from the miner in the “Walking the Diggers” was brilliant :)
Hope they don’t kill the peasant. They don’t really strike me as evil, just a bit dumb and governed chiefly by fear. Of course, that can be a liability.
I want to see a head… great comic
ahh the diggers, good memories… i recall back in vanilla somewere i was doing a run, and the tank confidently said “we can take the whole room, these aint hard” … it resulting in what id best describe as a “murlocswarm crossbread with lots of pikeaxes” at any rate, lovely people those diggers :) and most importantly, can pack a punch if you let them.
As to the comic, i puzzle if the diggers are loyal to the defias in general, betrayed labors of Stormwinds rebuilding or something, or if the defias is just useing them as tools for their expansions. At any rate, i hope to see more from the diggers point of veiw, since Nhani, you have a great skill to give some insight into certian npcs “human traits” (human,nightelf,gnome etc.)
You could say that those peasants are a little of both. While they serve as a tool to keep the Brotherhood supplied with whatever raw materials they need, they peasants, too, were a part of the [url=http://www.wowwiki.com/Stonemasons_Guild]Stonemasons Guild[/url], thus are loyal to the Defias.
And I still have to work out how to make those url’s or whatever >=/
WordPress uses native HTML tags rather than BBCode or any other abstraction of the sort, so you’d want to use the address (a href) tag.
the 6 panel was nicely done and b.t.w. there is an copper ore in the background.
also i love when Tiny said what was she expecting Hani to say?
Love the “what did you just say”/”would you shut up?” look given in the last frame :>
I think Tiny hit a raw spot with her partner ;D
Just started reading an im addicted, keep up the good work :)
The face he has when he sees Hani….priceless.
Well done.
