If you all want a PN Q&A thread, we can start one and sticky it. My only concern there is people who read PNs might not then provide feedback directly to the creator's individual threads as much, which as we all know means a lot to them.

As for my next chapter, I'm thinking June timeframe. I'm behind schedule.

I'd say you make it look easy, Chewie...but of course this doesn't look easy. It looks masterful. As always.

A very entertaining chapter! I really love the Atracion character, the cynical and rough criminal with just a whiff of humanity left in him to believably want to help Rykrof and help himself at the same time. The "autograph" line is priceless! Excellent writing in this chapter across the board!

Some wonderful customs. I really wish Atracion's "flank squad" was around a little longer, since they all look terrific.

The environment you've created in the past few chapters on the prison planet is absolutely spectacular. So atmospheric and grim and desolate. It just feels absolutely hopeless and bleak. It's a terrific setting, brilliantly executed with your extraordinary dioramas!

I know you said it'll be a while before the next chapter is out, but this one, while a little short, had great action, humor, suspense and ends on another superb cliffhanger. Can't wait to see how this particular storyline resolves. Part of me is eager to see Rykrof sprung from prison and back out in the galaxy having adventures. When will he reunite with his family? Will he go after Baron Gere? Will he cross paths with the nascent rebellion? So many possibilities. But, for now, I'm enjoying the heck out of it, so I can be more than patient as long as the chapters stay this awesome. Which, of course, they will!

:D

Thanks my friend, never easy but I will say the techiques have gotten easier for me over time. It also helps that I kind of do these at my own pace now so I don't ever feel rushed anymore.

Thank you, glad you like Atracion so far. I am enjoying fleshing him out a little bit more. Atraction is an ass, but maybe a kind of likeable one. If that makes sense.

The flank squad was broken up but will still have a part in the next chapter or two.

Appreciate that, I do feel like it's not expansive enough unfortunately. So I might try to do a bit of digital manipulation in the next chapter for a shot or two.

I started on a new diorama this past week that will help me in getting onto the next chapter. It will be a new environment on the planet and add some more variety, I hope. I might make two new areas, actually. That's TBD. But getting that going will help me in making the next chapter sooner. Work his just so busy for me that it pulls me away.

When Rykrof gets off the planet, he's likely going to go on a side mission; one that he's not wanting any part of but is compelled to. It will be explained once he's off planet - or right before he gets off. It won't be what Rykrof wants to do, but ultimately I believe it will make sense... hopefully!

Thanks as always for the feedback and support!

Another great episode. The droid leg clubbing action made me laugh. I don't think there is enough droid parts used as weapons in star wars.
