	Looks like this job may be too big for even Red and her team to handle. Great layout for this page. We keep in tight on each of the characters, then we zoom out to illustrate just how small they appear against their current task. That's a lot of lava! I think that last panel looks intense. Danny did such a great job with the glowing effects, I can almost feel the heat coming off that magma ooze. Looks like all of the Queen's directives are starting to take their toll on at least one of her citizens. Or, maybe Cinder's just cranky because she's tired from all the fireball moving they've been doing. On a related note, during one of the panels at MarsCon last month, one of the questions we were asked is if we let any outside influences or references into our web comic. Danny said no at first, but after I reminded him that I throw in quite a few movie references and quotes here and there, he realized that he does it on occasion with his artwork also. Where am I going with this? There's another movie quote on this page. No contest this time (we're already in the middle of one as is), but I'm curious if any of you can spot it. Since you guys are some of the quickest minds I've ever met, I'm certain one of you will pick it up pretty quickly. Okay, speaking of contests... I know you are all probably sitting there with images of the Monty Python crew from The Holy Grail screaming "Get on with it!" I've blathered on long enough, so it's time to announce the winner of the "Name the Fans" contest. And what a fun and exciting contest it was. You are all amazing! The sheer number of votes we got each day was impressive. One contender practically zoomed to the front of the line and held firm, but there was a point where one of the other entries looked like it might sneak up from behind and take the number one spot. But alas, it was not to be. That magic front-runner stayed true at the top of the heap, and it is officially the winner. "Get on with it!" I know, I know! So without further ado, drum roll please... ... ... ... Congratulations, Elora! *Draconiacs* is the new moniker of Draconia Chronicles fans everywhere! I have to be honest, that happened to be my favourite as well, though it was a tough decision. I really did like all of the entries we received. You folks are incredible! You all gave us some wonderful and creative suggestions. Big thanks to everyone! As for Elora - as promised, you get exclusive bragging rights, as well as a sketch of whatever Draconia Chronicles character you choose from Danny himself! As for all of our fans, thank you so much once again for all of your support and efforts in helping make The Draconia Chronicles shine. You are the power and voice of the web comic, and we wouldn't be where we are now without you. So, as writer and co-head-knucklehead of 2wcOnline, I now officially dub thee Draconiacs! Go forth and spread the word! This concludes our broadcast day. I'll see you Draconiacs in seven! -Donnie Sturges, head writer Email \| Facebook	Howdy, Draconiacs! Danny here. First of all, unlike Donnie, I'm writing my end of the commentary just about two hours after Super Bowl XLIV, where the New Orleans Saints not only overcame the odds against the favored Indianapolis Colts, but did so in a very convincing and exciting fashion. This was everything a Super Bowl should be. Kudos to the Saints and to the city of New Orleans on your victory! You've earned every little bit of it! I rather like how this page came out. One of my better recent efforts, in my honest opinion, mainly because I love how the lighting effects turned out on this page. We last saw them when Red and her crew of palace guards were going toe to toe with the fire from the sky. Now, they've gotta deal with the fire from the ground. Those of you looking for a soundtrack to this page, I first wanna say that I've been waiting quite some time to bust out this track, and that is "When the Levee Breaks," by Led Zeppelin. My favorite Zeppelin track. Yeah, that's the stuff. Those of you who've been following our History section will find the conclusion to the *2006 Draconia Chronicles* Calendar, where none other than Red** gives us what I personally regard to be one of her sexiest pics. Enjoy! As many of you were probably well aware, we just wrapped up a fun new contest here at 2wcOnline, where we challenged you, our fabulous fans, to come up with a group name for yourselves. We had some excellent entries, and while I know some of you might've been disappointed that your entry didn't make it as a finalist, bear in mind that it was no easy task for Donnie and me to whittle down the names to the top three. Our criteria was pretty straightforward. We wanted to go with names that immediately identified the fandom and what series it represented--nothing too cryptic. Something easy to say and that rolls off the tongue. In cases where duplicate entries were submitted, we went with the one with the earliest timestamp. In fact, what turned out to be the winning entry was actually submitted by more than one person, but we attributed it to the one who got it in first. With that in mind, we put it to a vote, and boy did you all vote! And we're proud to announce that the winning name, as selected by YOU, is Draconiacs, as submitted by Elora! Elora, your prize is lifelong bragging rights, and a free inked sketch of your favorite Draconia Chronicles character, doing whatever you want her (or him) to be doing. Anything! ^__^ Congratulations, Elora, and thanks again to all who submitted names and voted! Thank you, my fellow Draconiacs! Finally, I wanna remind everyone that I will be making my 16th consecutive appearance at Katsucon, this coming weekend in the Washington, DC area. Commission sketches, spiffy swag, and general mirth and merriment (amidst other occasional surprises) will be had in abundance! Also, I should point out that Katsucon has their Artist Alley set up a little differently this year. Look for me in the Webcomics section of the Alley. You can't miss our almost 2-meter-tall full-color banner, featuring Elektra, Scyde, and Shaleigh. Washington will probably still be feeling the effects of back-to-back snowstorms, so please travel safely. But if you do come out, remember to stop by and say hi! Hope to see many of you there! Take care, and thanks for reading! -Danny Valentini, artist & creator Email \| Facebook \| Twitter \| FurAffinity (NSFW)
