Okay, am I imagining the stag turning into the Horned King or the suggestion of the Horned King at the top of the page?? Because if I'm not, that's incredibly cool. I also REALLY love the panel that's JUST Taran's decision. Great way to highlight its importance. Also nice that this page seems to occur at the exact moment that day transitions into night, symbolizing Taran turning his back on the light and setting his face against the dark. Overall, the symbolism here is just great. So impressed.

I wondered if that would read as I intended. Yes, the stag silhouette breaks him out of his reverie with the reminder of what is at stake beyond his own happiness - creative license on my part, but I thought it was true to character and a powerful moment.
Good call on the nightfall symbolism. It really hadn’t occurred to me in those terms, but you’re right. Funny how sometimes significance creeps into areas I didn’t even plan.

You probably did make that connection subconsciously. Art is like that, it taps into a different part of the brain and can bring out spectacular results. Either way, well done. :)

Everything you just said, LMS. Except the nightfall; I didn't catch that. I think you're just going to be ninja'ing me as far as astute thematic perception goes from here on out. :)

Love the colors. And the stag is a nice addition. I kinda wish there was a panel that actually showed Medwyn carrying him back to the stable. I know it's not mentioned in the book, just implied (and you did show his feet), but I've always thought it a rather tender scene. I guess I just wanna see poor Taran cradled in someone's arms T_T.

I fully sympathize with that wish, and we'll see that eventually but I gotta make him suffer a bit more first.

Great overall job on this chapter. So much foreshadowing that I never realized before and beautiful visuals. Really seemed like it was a break for the characters from the dangers of their quest.
