Dot X
Updates Tuesdays and Fridays!Comic 394 - Facade
Author Notes:
A few answers to questions asked on the last page:
@TheTyGuy:
Yes it is! It's a piece of the same night sky I've been using for the background of the rooftop scenes, tinted redder to better fit that one panel!
@Secretkeeper626:
I wanted DotX to better match the rest of Hetrea.com! I've always loved this cloud graphic. It's from RPGMAKERVX's default RTP, I didn't draw it myself. It tiles so nicely!
@AdvocateofVoid:
You mention that nobody consoles Bubbles for being in over her head on page 325, but immediately after she says she's overwhelmed we cut to another scene! The next time we see her, on page 330, we see that Hurricane, Lime & Banana are caring for her despite Blue not being around!

There are still some characters that I would love to see having maybe entire chapters to go into what they are like and who they are and all that. Since this page seems to be a precursor to more exciting things yet to come, I think I'll use it to list these characters and why I want to see more of them as there isn't a lot to say about this page in general otherwise. (Ok, I could go into Clone being the 'baby of the group,' but other than my pointing it out, there isn't much else to talk about until other people pitch in to the conversation.)
1. Lime
How much has Lime even spoken yet? Since She is the one who comes from where ever it is she and Banana comes, I believe that she will be the one who later in the story reveals what it is she, Paste, Gell, and Goo even is. My main theory is that in the place she comes from there could be a lot more of her species and it could even be that her species is the main race in that area.
2. Bubbles and Blue
Without Blue, Bubbles is a little awkward and introverted and without Bubbles, Blue is a little entitled and over enthusiastic. In like the one page where they have half a conversation I could see that both could be characters interesting enough to carry the whole webcomic for at least two Adventure sized chapters. Not only because they are both three dimensional characters, but because together they are better than the sum of them individually.
3. Moonlight
Who even is Moonlight? Is she ever gonna talk again in this chapter? Why was she introduced then only ever seen dancing with Blue, looking at the art, or regretting bringing Sparx?
4. Not Clementine
Apparently the only way I can get a response out of Sky anymore is by being wrong about something, so this is me making brazen accusations about a character I basically know nothing about. Okay, I just looked at every page Clementine is in and I take everything back. I don't care if I'm wrong, I don't care what Sky says, and I already hate Clementine to death. She's only been in five pages and in every one of them she's either showing off the back of her head or she can't be bothered to open her eyes all the way. If she's talking I can't not imagine her speaking in a affected pretentious voice. I hate her so much already and it doesn't help that she's a 16-year-old who is dating a 10-year-old and for god knows why is at yet another 10-year-old's party about nothing. It could only be weirder if she was dating Blue and was at Bubbles' party, partly because Bubbles might never throw a party for as long as she lives.
5. Sparx
Moving on from that, how come we know nothing about the kid who randomly peeked under a bush and found a Pudding? Ok, I can do better. He plays baseball or something and went under the bush looking for a baseball or something. Sparx has been in some odd 20 pages and basically other than what I've just pointed out the only thing we know is that no one wanted him to be in any of those pages apparently. I mean seriously, this ball has just been Frisky being Frisky, Clementine being an older version of Frisky who is dating someone the same age as Frisky's boyfriend, and everyone hating Sparx forever.
6. Fang
I think everyone who looks at the comments by now know that I'm probably biased towards Fang, but seriously, how much about Fang's lycanthropy do we actually know? Not even enough to have a proper name for it yet. We don't know where she got it or how long she can use it or if she was even using it at full blast the only time we ever saw her use it. Can she change herself completely? We may never know!
Welp, the end.
could you remind me who Clementine is dating?
seriously, though, how did you do that???
