Ohshiiiiiit
Whoa, ok there, Father! Taking it a bit too far now. Let’s all calm down and talk this out.
…
Holy crap.
The Father looks freaking terrifying, and I don’t like what he just said, it worries and scares me for Michelle’s life.
What a way to end a chapter!
Can’t wait to see where the next one goes Kory!
Well, that took a dark turn.
Yep it did.
Typical short term thinking – the Father bears a grudge and still wants to offer Michelle in exchange for their own freedom, with the dragons’ life force no longer needed.
And then what? They’re DEMONS, bud. You really think they’ll honour that? Or maybe they would, since they revel in chaos and it would be an absolute hoot watching the mortal plane annihilate the dragons, and much of itself, with all the modern weapons at their disposal.
it is still possible that he is marking the point on how awful being trapped here, away from home at the mercy of an hated hostile species (dragon for Michelle, demon for the dragon, and maybe angels for the demon ?) is.
Given his action before and the fact that he likely was not able to get out of the war mentality, i doubt it.
That would mean, however, that he lied to bloodcarver
I get the feeling he’s willing to cut a few corners to enforce his beliefs/system. Some of the corners he seems willing to cut seem tied to his own kids. :S
Wow rude.
Question!!!! Do American Magpie totems have different powers the European Magpie totems, since they are actually two different species and all?
I figured all you northern hemisphere places had the same magpies, but ours down in Oz are definitely different…. Very curious whether that makes it three very different magpie totems? I mean, for a start, our magpies are carolling songbirds….
I’m getting smug vibes from him. Michelle better come up with something becuse I doubt father will ley her leave in one piece.
Implying the dude even has a say in the matter. Michelle is far more powerful than any Sphinx that came before her, even if she doesn’t know how to harness and control that power. Toddler with a nuke, in other words. Push her too far and it’s likely to burst out of her and harm everyone around her indiscriminately. Has once before.
Or she could go all Family of Blood on him and give him exactly what he wants: A human disguise… that he can’t take off because there’s no Medallion involved, just Untempered Michelle Mojo.
Is that a Doctor Who reference in my Skin Deep? Ace.
*The Doctor intensifies*
“You will never leave this place.”
*gasp*
“….without having some of my famous COOKIES!”
*GASP*
“Grandma? Is that you?!”
Reader Question :
What animals were the inspiration for Father’s design?
Looks like a combination of Ghariel and Babirusa to me. Maybe a little bit of Deviljho in there too.
Add on question:
What does the full body of the father look like?
Another speciment that really needs a director’s comments on their evolution…
“So we figured that dragons were getting things in their eyes, like… All the time. So we figured that ‘hey, they have horns, right? why not use those?’. Sure we kinda went a bit overboard and some of them might grow up poking their brains with those things, but… At least we kinda fixed the eye-thing, so we decided to call that a win. The teeth sticking out everywhere? Well, that’s a funny story, let me…” XD
Reader question for blood carver: Man, what happened to you since we saw you in Missouri? You seem to have accumulated a lot of scars, and your ears seem floppier than before.
Reader Question: What would Michelle look like as a dragon, and what would Bloodcarver look like as a sphynx?
That was already answered
Was it? I only recall Greg as an Opinicus and Jim Satyr-ified.
Yup, it was. Not recommended without some brain bleach at hand, though. ;-)

did she just get grounded by The Father?
Just needs the KND to come break her out, methinks
“You’re not my father!”
– Michelle, probably
Darth Vader: No! I am her father!
between the horns in front of the eyes, the weirdly placed teeths, the unpractical mouth …
it really gives the impression that either “father” was malformed, or that living in the limb took a big toll on him.
Are you sure he’s even a dragon? His using his wings as arms makes me think he’s a wyvern, not a dragon, and quite a few myths paint wyverns as having much nastier temperaments
I think it’s fair to say that a wyvern is a type of dragon.
Hello yes. am wyvern, are dragon
if you can agree that a knucker, an asian dragon, a wingless drake, and so on are all dragons then so are wyverns.
Abusive arsehole. Check. >.<
Is Father inspired by Rhamphorhynchus and Ornithocheirus in walking with dinosaurs? Because I love the design
Question to Myra Reinkemeyer.
What is your orgins? Your names sounds Europian. German or Denmark if I have to guess
Well somebody sure looks like their parents were a tropeognathus and an alligator gar. Perfect for when you need to scare the ever-loving crap out of unsuspecting sphinxes.
Question: What exactly was the food chain like before all the magical styled creatures got scarce, and did dragons perhaps rely partially on megafauna before we killed them off? That would partially explain the reliance on raiding humans seen in other mediums, as normal prey is harder to find…
Not the attitude to take with a sphinx who has recently come to accessing ALL the power of her race and if over-pushed might actually use it without too much in the way of conscious control or restraint….
Careful there, gramps.
I don’t like the way “father” looks, just no!
no no no!
You dipshit! Didn’t you get your butt kicked hard enough in the first round of this war? You REALLY want to continue it? SERIOUSLY?!
We have already learned that the magical power of sphinxes is divided among them. And there is now exactly one sphinx. Which means you are now addressing a being who has at her disposal the entire force of magic that creamed you guys last time.
THIS IS A BAD PLAN.
Don’t forget that the dragon in question is very old, leads an untested dragon generation into combat, and that they can’t hide in Limbo because THEY BROUGHT HER THERE ALREADY!
BAD PLAN INTENSIFIES!
Nice dragon design. Those horns remind me of those boars that need to whittle down their tusks or else they will grow into their own heads.
So that’s the big plan? Stick the Sphinx there while the dragons escape so that there’s noone on Earth to gather the different races against the dragons?
Was Bloodcarver aware of The Plan?
I imagine not. From his words before it sounded like he was taking Meesh to the Father to discuss making medallions. Bloodcarver is much nicer in personality than Father is, so I doubt he would’ve intentionally been deceptive. I bet Father lied to Bloody, led him along so he could enact his final act on his grudge against the Sphinxes
Reader Question: Just what, exactly, IS the airspeed velocity of an unladen, unturned swallow-vole gryphon IF it’s medallion was the size of a coconut?
Inquiring minds want to know. :)
Doc.
African or European?
Man if I was Michelle I’d be like “Okay, I’m going to pretend that statement is the result of you being out-of-touch with society beyond other dragons. Maybe threats like that worked in ye olden days, but in the modern world, if you want someone’s help, threatening them is probably the worst way to get it. Now let’s try this again.Hello, I am called Michelle. Nice to meet you.”
So he is going to keep Michelle in Dis for however long it takes Greg to get worried and think real hard about who he knows who seems to also value Michelles continued presence elsewhere …
… umh, Father? I foresee some major Ravifications of your plan …
[kisses good ole European-style netherworld system goodbye]
And he even said that “others will follow you” … guess he didn’t imagine that statement to continue “into Dis, even” …
WELL THAT ESCALATED QUICKLY! XD
Two things, “Father,” you gharial looking trashbag.
1. Michelle is going to leave. You can’t stop it. It’s going to take time and effort, but she’s leaving.
2. You’re probably going to die. I’m willing to put money on you dying.
From MIchelle’s expression, it looks like she is trying to avoid laughing at Dad Dragon since his head looks like a cock and balls.
After last page’s build up, I am REALLY hoping to see a gag page where Father turns out to be Stanley.
Bloodcarver smash that dragon’s face in for me would you? No one has the right to say they have control over another person’s choices.
I doubt that if you consider how and from whom he got his scars.
Whelp. There goes the diplomatic approach… *sighs* The father might have saved all the dragon eggs… but with that attitude. The species is dead unless a more intelligent dragon takes over.
Reader question: what would happen if a totem and a human had a child together? Would the child just be a regular human or would they have some kind of power?
Yes I have a question. So YouTube was drunk (like it do), and it threw that ibex video in the recommendeds, the one about the ibex climbing up a sheer *dam* in order to lick the salt way up near the top?
And it made me wonder….
Can Greg walk up walls like that?
“the ability to walk like a mountain goat”….. Well, hooves are pretty amazing.
Is there any demon that honors the deals he or she makes?
A Reader Question:
So, say there’s a different kind of transformation magic competing with medallion illusion magic (like some of what happened to Tim, for example). What wins out, the medallion’s ability to cast a human illusion, or the magical transformations that warp the figure?
So I…hmmm…we know Michelle can teleport although I suspect she still has little to no control over it. Would it even work on a planar scale?
Can we see some Himmapan creatures please?
Reader Question:
Started afresh from the beginning and realized: Are there concepts for Michelle’s dog and her grandma? Or is it a secret for now?
I know it wouldn’t actually be a thing in canon, but can we see what a Bugbear/Satyr or a Bugbear/Faun hybrid would look like? :3
…the Father’s face is shaped like an upside-down boober where the horns are the balls
Think Lorne will suggest looking in the woods in wonderland for a hellmouth to get Michelle? Be interesting to see the memory of Lorne in wonderland continued :)
What kind of dragon is that?
Gramps looks like a cross between a Gharial and a wild boar with a tail like a Hellbender. Nasty looking dude with a disposition to match. It would appear that dwelling in Limbo tends to make one grumpy.
Don’t boop the snout!
Oh Fuc.
