@Pixel_Lime Thanks for discovering the series!
The end can come from:
- Not receiving enough patronage to continue the production of the series could be the main reason.
- Reaching an ending I find consistent for the series, and also in sync with the end of enough episodes/pages to finish a book).
Right now, it's not part of my plan to schedule an end to the project.

Yeah, looking at illustrations from old to new, I see that the girl has become more mature, the story also maybe became more serious and more dramatic (perhaps) 🤔
She visually now looks more dark, maybe she goes to the dark side and becomes like Darth Vader 🤣

@Pixel_Lime True, the story/style shift in a very organic way; I'm not planning all that. It only follows what I have at heart when I create the next episode. Probably a disaster on a marketing point of view 😅
I'll also discover the future part with the audience, I have many big idea for where I want to go with the series, but it's only one (step) episode at a time, and also everything around keeps changing (Internet, the world, the comic format and audience). I'm super curious of the future.☺️

just read it and I loved it. Read the comments too and saw your bit about the "welcome back", I needed that too 😀 thanks for creating such an amazing webcomic.

@LinuxGamer Thanks!

@ArneBab Thanks! Yes, it's one of the rare time where Pepper has a harsh move. I hope the group of adventurer will survive. I went to keep them for a later episode 😆

Thanks again also for your support all these years on Pepper&Carrot!
The 'new' feature to set the credit "visible" on Liberapay works well.

I very much feel with her. Being only used for your skills but not actually receiving empathy or compassion.

However that this just happens after an elder witch of Chaosah leaves in disappointment looks much like the old witch had a hand in this. Maybe juts with her words?

I like it. A lot.

And I like what you are realizing with Pepper & Carrot — how you are searching for ways to really do things right.

And I’m glad that I can contribute a small part to enable you to keep moving.

@ArneBab Thanks.

I had a revision of the story where the monster screaming was directly connected to an action of Cayenne. But then, it was hard to hide this to Pepper, and Pepper could see in that a direct sabotage. I preferred to disconnect the two.

Thanks for your words and your support again!

10 years later:

Pepper: „When you found me with the Phoenix tears, how did you turn the monster?“

Cayenne: „I did not. Your anger did.“

Pepper: „My anger … you played me!“

Cayenne: „You played yourself. I just gave you the mirror to see. Also I don’t need to use my strength when yours is so readily available.“

Pepper: „You … ! Thank you. You still played me.“

@ArneBab 👍 Good one. I'll bookmark it. 😀

Feel free to share it under cc by 🙂

@stemy Hey! Oui, je ne sais pas si c'est exactement la première (ça m'étonnerai pas que j'ai déjà usé de cette provocation de la part de Pepper), mais en tout cas, c'est intentionel ici: un mélange entre avoir un égo surdimensionné (confiance dans son nouveau role de Guérisseuse) et de provocation/mépris.
Merci d'avoir capté cette subtilité!

@dennisfaucher Thanks!

Ha, good, a big part of my passion for fantasy comes from the JRPG of the SNES; Secret of Mana, Link to the Past and Chrono Trigger. 🙂

@elshid ☺️ thanks!
