*knows who it is too* this detectorating is so much fun! This wasn't a tricky one, though. Now that I've got to the bottom of the 'so who's Timmy's father, and if it's him, then how come he looks like him?' mystery, this one's eeeeasy 12

:-) Barbara L. Jacobs replies: "You just know too much, dont you? You actually know more than some of the characters do, if that makes sense. ha ha. Anyway- I wasnt surprised that you would figure this out. thanks for the comments!! ~B"

*first comment dance* bwaaa, grey kniiiiight! *griiins* it's who I guessed it was, too! It's- *stuffs a sock in her mouth*

Anyway... I love this picture, the atmosphere's so well done, and the lighting... heck, and the coloring, and the lineart- it's amazing! But that's not unusual when you're doing the artwork 12 Congrats on another great one!

PS did you take a bunch of picture down when you uploaded these? I seem to remember your gallery being much larger than this...

:-) Barbara L. Jacobs replies: "Hi! THank you for stopping by- it has been a while since I (or anyone ) posted so I am trying to get caught up on my messages! Yes- I took quite a few pics down- trying to keep it neat. I may post some again on Drunk Duck to keep something up there. SO you know who this Grey Knight is. Not too big a surprise. But there will be more surprises later. I hope. ~B"

I was wondering who the Grey Knight was! I love this pic, the feeling is really well done, as is the composition--like always!

:-) Barbara L. Jacobs replies: "Thank you Snapdragon for commenting!- SO you have him figured out too. Guess I didnt make that too complicated. ~B"

aHA! so it IS him... ^___^ spiffy picture, although the texture in his shadow is sort of out-of-keeping with the smoothness of he rest of the cave walls.

Is he holding a lock of jennifer's plaited hair or somthing? Is it really timmy's dad?

i knew it, i knew it, i knew it, i knew it, i knew it!!

now all he has to say is:
NO TIMOTHY, I AM YOUR FATHER!!!!!

i love this page and i love how you shade all your work so well. i wish i could do that!!

AH, totally just realized that someone noticed the same thing about that possibly being Jen's braid. Ah well. Worth a shot. ^^;;

I could be totally wrong here ... but is that Jennifer's cut-off braid in his hand?

By the way, I love the art, it's so pretty ... I read the comic a little while ago, lost the URL, and now that I've found it again I'm totally obsessed! It's a really, REALLY fantastic comic.

One thing I'm curious about: there are some pictures that I saw in a fan-wallpaper that I can't seem to find anywhere else (mainly two of the Jennifer/Colin pictures ... so adorable!) I feel like a total n00b for asking this, but is there another gallery that I'm not aware of, or did you just remove the pictures from this gallery?

Got to this part in "Return of the Exile" and loved the picture there too, so I had to comment. Cloaked knight guys in caves are always great, and this is just about as straight-up great as it could get. Fantastic job. And the Scottish accent? Priceless.
