So freaking detailed, Rod. You can ran the print on ty he monitors this is so incredibly sharp. You must have countless awesome props you employ in this series. Each frame rocks dude and the actual chapter has not started yet. Really looking forward for the first page on chapter6 Sounds interesting with Zlata involved.

really a great addition to your series. very detailed poses and composition

I wish I could give this 1000 stars as this page is worth at least that much.
Most excellent work! things are tying themselves together - let's just hope it's not into a Gordian Knot!

The text is a little hard to read but there's always 'Zoom' view for the pages if any one is having trouble. 125% should work fine!

Well that's all quite interesting! And cool Thank you Rod for all the fun and craziness in the TNA chapters as well. That's why we're still here reading. Right!? ;) I hope you and Jo have a wonderful Christmas as well!!

I always enjoy when you and mike collaborate on stuff. 5 years! Wow. Congrats on longevity my friend, may you have many more too.

I could read the letters with a minimum of squintage, but the pdf might come in handy for some.

Awesome images and story lines!!!!! I don't know how you think up all this stuff......keep on doing it......I LUV all your stories and super cool images!! Nice job Rod!!!!!

Hehe.... Coffee...... Lots of coffee! :-D

Fabulous work as usual, RodS-san!

Awesome page! as always!!! can't wait to see where's this is heading!! super work!!!

OK, spotted the cylon raider on the desk, and the make it so comment is classic lol

Phenomenal work, my friend! Magnificent details, buddy! I've viewed the text on the monitors on two different screens and it looks absolutely perfect on both. Extremely well done! Wonderful story line, expert camera work, and beautiful renders all!!!

Fabulous work!!!!

I must admit, this is fabulous artwork. Well done indeed. :)

I haven't enjoyed so much since comic books as a kid... fun stuff and detail work and story line !

Love it so far, and you could take the coffee intravenously to speed things up

It never ends. Even for the holidays. Super job!

I am so enjoying this story Rod. very beautiful character, pose and expression and scenes.Just plain Impressive my friend. You and yours have a wonderful Christmas, and a happy and prosperous 2017 also.

MY! I remain humbled by your fantastic ability to create exciting stories. Ar as a partial fae with developing "magical" powers - this is really esoteric. And gives the TNA new dimensions. Keep up the good work! And here's wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! :-)

This is excellent Rod. I like the supernatural and magic being weaved into this. Great idea. This really opens things up! Can't wait to see Ar's reaction to all this and G4. Now please Mr. Shelley, sit at the computer and grab that mouse.....Engage!

I shall make it so! LOL

Charming story, love the sequence!

Ar is already a lethal force with martial arts (Will Slickie knows this and hopefully is still reeling from it while in prison). If she masters magic as well... Well the Fae will help her use it for good (or awesome).

Make it so indeed, Rod!

Wow!!! Fantastic Rod! I like the charming story too! Merry Christmas

Oh WOW Very Fantastic Work,

Well I'm too early for any New Year's image you might post---and if you don't, you've already given us a ton, so it doesn't matter... But since I won't be able to be online for a few days, let me wish you happy new year here! And I'm diving into another of your TNA pieces, even though I said I'd wait. I read the above comments, and yes, you really pack it in with these. You say you use "coffee, lots of coffee"? That and 2 tons of imagination, easter eggs and detail. You have a kind of Robin Williams imagination---whatever the story line is, you have all kinds of other things happening at the same time. I could read the text just fine (and I hope everyone sees your work full size all the time, it's the way to go with your work), and I love how you bring Zlata and company into your work, and the ongoing brotherhood you have with Mike. It enriches both of you, and us, at the same time. (Btw, that bald head in your story: That guy's got more hair than I do. But we'll leave that for another time.)

I love the idea of Arawen telling us that magic should be part of our world. Great intro, enticing and magical. Then the setup and the beginning of the journey---which you leave off, leaving us hanging here like a bunch of dogs with our tongues out. (Thanks, jack!) I always look as closely as I can at your details: Is that screen with the coordinates your home? Someplace of importance? (You don't have to answer, I'm just a big mouth.) (And who's Slickie? Someone in a previous TNA chapter that I missed, maybe?)

Your cockpit interiors are always a goldmine, and this isn't even your most packed! And wherever they're landing is in autumn, with beautiful colors. And the final frame has a great angle; and, in both bottom frames, you reveal views of the women along with terrific contours in chairs, light lines, windows, etc. Very musical. You're always very sensitive to this 'visual music' in your pieces. And we get a glimpse of Ar (?) looking like a celtic goddess, with green hair. Great job again, and when I return for a longer session, I'll dive into more of your TNA stuff. If I didn't take so damned long on each one, I could do a lot more (a big mouth). Happy New Year, Rod, and thanks for all the wild rides, joy, imagination, beauty and friendship you offer here. You're one of the rocks here---as in foundation-stones, foundations (I don't mean you have a head made of stone!) And a lot of people appreciate it greatly, me being one. A much better 2017 to you and all you love!

Catching up again, darlin'! Sorry to be so late. This is fun, fun, fun!! LOVE the story line!
