If she doesn't know what a giraffe is, how does she know it's not an incredible cool thing ? Like .. griffons, or dragons !
I can just see it for me ... Iri and Ayata in front of an assembly, with Iri being .. "helpful" :
Assembly : So, Ayata, we have come to the matter of your species name, what are they called?
Ayata : Space Dragons !
Assembly : *raised eyebrow* .. space dragons ?
Ayata : Yes !
Iridium : Pfft, no they're not.
Ayata : are tooo..
Iridium : Their native name is the equivalent of "mud people" or "swamp dvellers".
Ayata : .. nooooooo ..
Ayata : Don't listen to her, she lies! we have totally cool names.
Iridium : Mud People
Ayata : no
Iridium : Mudlets
Ayata : noo
Iridium : Mudkips
Ayata : No!
Assembly : Could we be serious here for a moment ? What is their real name Misstress Iridium Lake ?
Iridium : Oh, I'm sorry, it's actually Mini Giraffes.
Ayata : *shocked expression* ............
Assembly : Very well, let it be known that Lady Ayata's people shall henceforth be known as Mini Giraffes.
Ayata : *gurk*
*big applause*
Assembly : Lady Ayata, are you allright ?
All the playing around with the lighting is nice. I really liked the last cell from yesterday's page, too. The brightness was really good. On a related note- Jagi! Quit absorbing all the light! It's really selfish! Reflect some of that shit!
Ah well, it's marginally better than LongNecks. Looking forward to see what she decides to call her people.
On a sidenote :
Ayata is looking very nice in todays comic. Loving the 4th frame. :)
She's got to pick something her people will generally approve of.
