The Nitpickers Guild Christmas Party 2020 – page 6
I will never, EVER get tired of playing around with way too many color gradients. That, or obtuse references to minor bits of world-building that only longtime readers will ever recognize (and even LOOOOONGTIME Far Out There readers may not get some of what’s going on in this one)
(Historical Notes: No, seriously, I literally had to force myself to stop messing with the lighting on this one because I still had nineteen more pages left to work on. I could easilly have blows another full day just playing around with more bits of shadows and whatnot. It’s an addiction, I tell ya!)
I don’t know who “She Who Sleeps Behind Sleep” is, but if someone’s sleeping on the back of Hypnos, the Greek Mythology Personification of Sleep, I want to know about it. That said, if they’re female, it’s possible that they’re the wife of Hypnos, who’s Pasithea, the Greek Goddess of Hallucination and Relaxation. Which explains why she sleeps behind him.
I DISCOVERED WHO IT WAS THESE BOYS SUMMONED! WOO! It’s nice what some minor information (Hypnos being a personification of Sleep) and a quick search can discover.
*frantically writes all of that down*
Hmmm? Oh, nothing…
Oh hey, those ominous shapes in the screen seem to have the silhouettes of folks who have showed up for cameos before. I wonder if that’s relevant.
It will be relevant…in 2038 or so when we get to see them. I’m looking forward to it. Only 14 more years to go! (Virtually overnight in FOT time!) 😉
Lol, but also yes. Actually, I’m a bit surprised at Past Me for not tagging them in this page.
