T, I am kinda curious: I've noticed in the above pic and the Central Hall of the Bird the lighting. Maybe I'm reading too much but in this drama and time-period, am I to assume that, along with advances made with steam (hence-"Steam-Punk") that lighting has also advanced? I assume that the events portrayed here in CoC fit along a general era of 1890-1900 or, as in Steam Boy (the movie by Kayazawa…[sic?]) the technology has advanced much more to approximately 1926-1935 in some respects with some residual Gay '90's leftovers. I'm dating myself but what the hey? I love a good tale, (and, sir, you do a fine job at that, if'n I may say so).
What say you?

Technology levels in Crosarth vary, overall though I'm aiming for pseudo-Edwardian. Think, in many aspects, 1910s level technology.
In some aspects the world is more advanced technologically, in others less – but that's where we're hitting our median,
T, that seems reasonable. I reviewed several panels and noted that some of the lighting of that era by WWI was already headed that way. I saw of couple of bits from old silents and noted the lighting there, too, as well. Makes good sense.
You're doing a bang-up job there, Trae. Love it! Thanks again, JIM
Also, Steam Boy was produced by the same people who did Akira. Katsu Otomo directed and Shigeru Watanabe was the Executive Producer along with Kazumi Kawashiro & Shunji & Shinji Komori. I THOUGHT it was Studio Ghibli but my bad…..check out the movie, though. Quite good. JIM
I hate to be that person, but since two years have gone by and no one’s noted it yet: Garrity’s speech bubble in the center frame: posess should be possess.
(Sorry! I’m kind of a spelling bee champ of yore, so it’s become compulsion. *ahem* I love the comic, by the way.)
Son of a… and that error is in the print version too.
Damn it!
Thanks for catching it. I’ll at least get the web version fixed… 😛
