Howdy, fellow Draconiacs!  RazorFox here.

You can’t really blame Briella for admiring her handiwork.  She wanted a flock, and got herself some of the finest ever to serve the Crown, including Cinder, Kighan, Elektra, Sombrana, and even a somewhat skewed interpretation of Lady Red.  This IS Briella we’re talking about, after all.  Not exactly Lady Red’s biggest fan.

Those of you looking for a soundtrack for this page can continue to pull up “Hair of the Dog,” as covered by Guns N’ Roses.

This past Sunday (April 22) was Earth Day, and, as per tradition, I’m proud to present this year’s Draconia Chronicles Earth Day picture for the Year of the Dragon.  Saph, Eone, Meta, and the late Gaia, however,  respectfully request that you refer to it as the “Year of the Earth Dragon.”  Check the goodness on my FurAffinity page.  This pic’s worksafe under most circumstances.

As you can see from the result above, this page was actually pretty intense, especially considering that I battled a considerable amount of writer’s block on it and didn’t actually get to the art part of it until late Thursday night.  After three days and a couple liters of Mountain Dew, I present to you a page that I’m rather pleased with.  But with it comes great fatigue.  Time to get some rest before beginning on page 285.

With that, I bid you a good morrow.  Take care, my fellow Draconiacs, and thanks for reading!

    Yes, Briella, that is a perfect likeness of “Derpy Red”! Well done! You deserve a muffin!

    • http://draconia.katbox.net RazorFox

      She just doesn’t know what went wrong. 6_9

      • http://www.furaffinity.net/user/maverikat/ MaveriKat

        She still got 20% Cooler.

    • Agen

      I loved it also!!!!!!!!!!

  • http://twitter.com/Draven_Long Draven

    The crooked horns on Lady Red is what sells it. It completes the whole goofiness.

    • http://draconia.katbox.net RazorFox

      Glad you like it! Lady Red’s one of my favorite characters, so I had to push myself to make her look as goofy as possible. ^__^

  • ac2/AACMIV

    Dang…third. but im still first when it comes to my dsi web browser so…
    FIRST FROM A DSI!

    • http://draconia.katbox.net RazorFox

      DSI. New spin-off of “CSI”? (“Yeeeeeeeeaaah!”)

      • kamimatsu

        We do not speak of CSI.

      • m

        You know that’s a DSi, right? I seem to remember you having trouble with this before. Here’s some money: go to GameStop and buy yourself a DSi XL.

        PS: That isn’t my money, so you’d better hurry up before the cops come!

  • Crabby

    You know…Kess should really appreciate Briella for this. After all, she does get to sink her weapon into a defenseless dragon like she’s always going on about. Such a humanitarian Briella is, doing the enemy a favor like that.

    Now she just needs to get out of harms way before her gratitude wears off.

    Which should be in exactly 3…2…

    7 days.

    • http://draconia.katbox.net RazorFox

      We’ll see just how much of a lead she can get out of it. In the meantime, enjoy the view. ^__^

  • Ionjam

    Briella = Awesome. However, one awesome vs 7 tigers with weapons = don’t stop running for longer than necessary. I like the tigers, but I like Briella. If only she can last until she can put between Derpy Red…. er Lady Red… and herself.

    • http://draconia.katbox.net RazorFox

      Who knows? We might see “Derpy Red” again, if Briella has any say about it. ^__^

  • http://twitter.com/Draven_Long Draven

    Zweeeen? It’s weird, in my head that sounds like the sound Neirnroot in Skyrim makes.

    • http://draconia.katbox.net RazorFox

      Interesting. Actually, I want each Light Dragon to have a signature sound effect. Princess Lumina has “Vweeeen,” Lady Chiara has “Zeeeen,” and Briella here has “Zweeeen.” No two Light Dragons will have the same sound. The idea comes from light bulbs. Notice how when you turn on a lamp, you hear a slight buzz or hum from the light bulbs? That’s the sound you’re “hearing” here. ^__^

  • Sable

    copius amounts of ass shots in this page XP

    • http://draconia.katbox.net RazorFox

      Just worked out that way. Hope you’re not complaining, though. In fact, an uncensored look at panel 2 can be found here [link]. NSFW. ~__^

      • http://twitter.com/Draven_Long Draven

        I always get “You are not allowed to view this image” and I don’t know why.

      • http://draconia.katbox.net RazorFox

        It’s marked as “Mature,” so it’s not publicly viewable. You’re either not a FurAffinity account holder, or if you are, you need to adjust your account settings to be able to view mature content.

      • Sable

        So I saw XP

        honestly I’m eyeing the dragoness rump more XD;

  • kittyluver

    lol brilla, u may have found a way out! though… i don’t think red looks quit t=like that… =D

    • http://draconia.katbox.net RazorFox

      In Briella’s opinion, she does. ^__^

  • bettsy

    Pannel 2

    another epic ass RazorFox

    • http://draconia.katbox.net RazorFox

      Thanks! After’s Briella’s delightful derrière, I figured we were due for some Tiger tushy. Gotta give ‘em equal time whenever possible, right? ^__^

      • http://www.jelliclechronicles.org Rumblepurr

        Tiger Tush is great, but what about the dragon tush right next door? Certainly there has to be equal representation of the Tush!!!?

  • Kobra

    Looks like aside from passing threw then like any ordinary weapon would the Zeneright doesn’t dispell the illusion. Now hopefully Briella doesn’t stay there admiring her work too long like an idiot.

    • http://draconia.katbox.net RazorFox

      I’m sure she’s already thought of that, but what good is a prank if you aren’t around to see the results? ^__^

  • Finlass

    Lets see we have 5 great illutions and ther tigers don’t get it that it is light magic roflmao nice work i had somting liket his in my mind what woud happen but the imagen of lady Red is what i woud call haterate of Brill :D

    and to the Earth Day 2012 PIC you Made it is awsome as well good work and i’m locking vorword what is coming next :P

    • http://draconia.katbox.net RazorFox

      Thanks! Well, Briella has expressed her lack of fondness for her boss. Lady Red’s not getting any love from her, especially not here.

      As for the Earth Day pic, glad you like it! I’ve still got five more pics to do for the “Katbox Kares” series, and there will most likely be another Earth Day pic next year. Between now and then, I plan to have the Earth Dragons play a bigger role in the series. Hang tight! ^__^

  • Explosion Zuruck

    WOOHOO!! ASS SHOTS ON THE HOUSE! Now if they were only there……. [except the tiger girls. THEY ARE there] Ah well. HEY BRIELLA! *Has his Camera RC hiding Right behind her via Octo Camo* Bend over will ya? *Gets ready to snap some photos*

    • http://draconia.katbox.net RazorFox

      “What, you mean like this? Well, okay, but I don’t see–HEY!!” >_<

  • Xch3l

    HAH! Lady Red’s face is like “La la la I’m not real 6_9!!” This is the page that has more panels that I like ^_^ (2, 3 and 6)

    • Xch3l

      wait… if B turns the holograms will turn too?

      • http://draconia.katbox.net RazorFox

        Well, this is similar to the hologram she created of herself when taking on Rula, Kenzi, and Naisha. It stayed put despite Briella flapping up to the ceiling.

    • http://draconia.katbox.net RazorFox

      Glad you like ‘em! Something for everyone. ^o^

  • astersa

    oh my beloved Briella, you have to have it pretty intelligent.

    • http://draconia.katbox.net RazorFox

      She seems to be getting the hang of this rodeo now. ^__^

  • Explosion Zuruck

    BTW Razor can I get in on this supposed “fight”? I made a wardrobe/weapons change over to the new MW3 style clothing/weaponry. You like or no?

    • http://draconia.katbox.net RazorFox

      What, you want me to change their weapons and clothing in the comic? Oh, I’m sorry, Dave, but I’m afraid I can’t do that. You can, though, if you want to create in-game avatars of them, somehow. (Seen it happen in “City of Heroes.”)

  • Explosion Zuruck

        Oobviously a Brony. In fact, all bro’s are Bronys even if they don’t realize it yet.

  • JoeRaven

    Omg! I’m in love! You have really outdone urself Danny. Wonderful job, as always!

    • http://draconia.katbox.net RazorFox

      YESSS! The “Joe Seal of Approval!” Gave you one of each, buddy! Take your pick! ^o^

  • Hunk

    You’re Epic Danny this update is purely awesome! ^_^ And I must say Kighan looks might “Dazzling” this evening if she was there fighting for real :P !

    • http://draconia.katbox.net RazorFox

      Thanks! Kighan always brings her A-game, and in this case, she does so while providing a stellar view. ~__^

  • WizzardRabbit

    This strip is a perfect example of rule #34…………….

    (enjoying the small things in life.)

    Loving this page!

    • http://draconia.katbox.net RazorFox

      I am not one to shirk the rules. Rule 34 of “The Draconia Chronicles?” Just check my FurAffinity account [link], where you’ll not only find an uncensored version of this page, but plenty more to confirm that Rule 34 fully applies to this series. ~__^

      • WizzardRabbit

        Zombieland rule #34

        not internet rule #34

        nevertheless……………….

  • THEHashtagHEEL

    Gotta give it to Briella, she is damn good. She is the Excellence of Execution. She is the best there is, the best there was, and the best there every will be. And that statement is real, oh it’s damn real.

    RazorFox bet you can’t figure out who I’m referencing in that final sentence. :3

    • http://draconia.katbox.net RazorFox

      Bret Hart, followed by Kurt Angle. Didn’t even have to look those up. The Fox says, “Try harder, jabroni!” >o<

      • THEHashtagHEEL

        I honestly wasn’t trying hard, I was trying to have a little fun :P

        Although if you want me to try harder I will, Briella is know as the “Tiger’s Worst Nightmare” Briella.

        Hint: The answer lies within a promotion that is still around that CM Punk and Daniel Bryan used to work in.

      • http://draconia.katbox.net RazorFox

        Well, see, you got me there. I don’t really follow Ring of Honor, I know that’s where Punk and Bryan came from, so I think that gets me a half point, right? ^__^

      • THEHashtagHEEL

        Yes you do get half a point. The line comes from “Wrestling’s Worst Nightmare” “Mr. Wrestling” Kevin Steen (on a fan note worth checking him.)

    • Agen

      Nah…, she’s just AMAZING!

  • Darkguyver2020

    If the Tigers have any semblance of intelligence, this should only keep them distracted for a few seconds before they realise it’s an illusion.
    I’m hoping Shie runs over and snaps Briella’s neck while she flaunts her ego.

    • http://draconia.katbox.net RazorFox

      We shall see. Briella’s still got a ways to go, and the Tigers could still get their paws on her.

    • Kobra

      “Semblance of Intelligence?” These mangy cats? You obviously don’t know who you’re talking about do you?
      And besides Shie already has her hands full to do that.

  • Finlass

    Lets say Bril woud eat Lady Reds ass if she gets her hand on her .D and i’m locking forword to see what you will do with the earth dragons *g*

    • http://draconia.katbox.net RazorFox

      All in due time. First things first, though, and that’s for Briella to try and get out of the Calera, if the Tigers will let her do so alive.

    • Kobra

      Earth dragon wold make it allot more challenging for these cat’s than a light dragon. They’d just change the tunnels and leave them to wander and die.

  • Argodeath

    Wow it looks like Bri’s plan worked but, I’m worried they’ll see through it, hope she can move and keep up the spell. also i like how Bri’s image of Lady Red portrays her dislike of her. and as always great art work.

    • http://draconia.katbox.net RazorFox

      Thanks! It was a fun challenge taking Lady Red, a character I’m quite fond of, and making her look absolutely ridiculous. Glad you like the page. ^__^

  • Surun the Scroll-writer

    Now that’s a great strategy to face off against many, use your gifts to your best and take advantage of their confusion. Well down Briella~ :3

    • http://draconia.katbox.net RazorFox

      That’s why she’s quite simply “too amazing.” ^o^

  • http://kingpose.deviantart.com/ kingpose

    The funniest thing about this is she calls Derpy Red a “Perfect Likeness”. Oh Briella.

    • http://draconia.katbox.net RazorFox

      From her point of view, it’s accurate in spirit, if not in physical resemblance. ^__^

  • ac2/AACMIV

    DSI. New spin-off of “CSI”? (“Yeeeeeeeeaaah!”)
    …if u wasn’t the artest and writer of this comic i would make a REAL CSI.

    • http://draconia.katbox.net RazorFox

      You’d make yet another “CSI” spinoff? “CSI: Bangor!” (“Aaaaaayuuuh!”) >o<

    • m

      Dime Scene Investigation: where every crime comes from a dime novel.

  • ac2/AACMIV

    sorry about that last thing i said (if it showed) it was uncalled for

    • http://draconia.katbox.net RazorFox

      It’s alright. TV has proven that there’s no limit to the number of “CSI” spinoffs it can accommodate. ^__^

  • Zachary

    Hmmm… If I were to hold a handgun and a light dragon were to try to force me to be involved in the war, I’d see that trick complicating my attempts to shoot her if it came down to it. I’m not risking my life for some bigot’s lost cause which went on for a thousand years or more.

    • http://draconia.katbox.net RazorFox

      Keep hope alive. In the meantime, enjoy the view. ^__^

      • Zachary

        Well, I do like Briella’s interpretaion of Lady Red. Absolutely hilarious

    • Kobra

      Which bigot we talking about?

      • Zachary

        Any bigot in the story, really, but especially Oscura, Kiriad, and Kess (Ugh! She’s the worst of them!)

  • MechaAshura20

    go to youtube and search up “bat in the sun batman legends”

    • http://draconia.katbox.net RazorFox

      Will I regret it?

      • MechaAshura20

        that depends on your definition of “regret”

    • MechaAshura20

      also try “city of scars”

  • Austin

    Neat trick, Briela… NOW HOW’S ABOuT YOU GET BACK TO EFFIN’ RUNNING?!?

    • http://draconia.katbox.net RazorFox

      I actually tried to show that she’s still moving backwards, hence the way her hair is fluttering. I could’ve done a better job indicating that, though. v__v;;

  • Therew

    Make no mistake I am a tiger supporter, always will be. But Briela has won enough of my heart that I been cheering for her escape this entire time.Very happy to see her useing her head. XD

    On a side note danny, I think why we can hardly tell shes moving backwards is cause you lopped off most of her legs. XD Alot of folks might not notice that you drew her legs at an angle that implies shes shifting her weight backwards to back up.

    • http://draconia.katbox.net RazorFox

      Yeah, sorry about that. This page was done in a bit of a rush, and quite frankly, that last panel was not the highest priority on the page. I’ll try to clear it up on the next page.

      This is why all you guys’ comments. Lets me know my hits and my misses, and gets me thinking about how to correct them. I really appreciate all of it! ^__^

      • Kobra

        Right we all know were you’re priority was really at. More focused on tiger booty weren’t you?

  • AACMIV/ac2

    Razor said

    You’d make yet another “CSI” spinoff? “CSI: Bangor!” (“Aaaaaayuuuh!”) >o<

    …what…u thought i would make. NO! what ment was (this was before my sorry) i would make your house the next REAL LIFE CSI. aka…i would kill u

    but like i said, uncalled for

    • http://draconia.katbox.net RazorFox

      Kill me? Before I get to the part where Aika, Roh, and Raz have a three-way? o_O

    • http://draconia.katbox.net RazorFox

      Ah, I never once took it as a threat. You’re okay by me. ^__^

  • AACMIV/ac2

    thx…took a load off…wait, who is Aika, Roh, and Raz? there r so many characters i cant remember them all!
    *goes to Draconia wiki sees that it is not that good*
    dang…wait..a 3 way? meh…

    • http://draconia.katbox.net RazorFox

      You met them back on page 247 [link]. ~__^

  • Finlass

    oh Brill have the ption now to get her dragon ass far far away from the tigers if she play’s her cards right she don’t get killed but kan kick lady Red’s ass hard for thet turtor :D

    • http://draconia.katbox.net RazorFox

      That’s what Briella would love to do, unless the Tigers have something to say about it.

  • Chocothunda

    DECOYS EVERYWHERE!

    Aaaand one Derpy Red. That’s gonna cause some anger XD.

    Hmm…with all of these decoys around, I wonder if there will be some unfortunate friendly fire up in this?

    • http://draconia.katbox.net RazorFox

      I haven’t ruled that out. Stay tuned… ~__^

  • Finlass

    Thinking about a tiger Bril force against lady Red :P that sound funny

    • http://draconia.katbox.net RazorFox

      Also highly unlikely. Even if they succeed, Briella’s Tiger army would eventually turn on her.

  • THEHashtagHEEL

    Yes she is, hence why I gave her a Bret Hart reference.

    • THEHashtagHEEL

      Sure! Just make sure to acknowledge where the source material comes from. ^__^

    “Illusions! Mere trickery! Do you call yourself a DRAGON?! You’d be more fit to be called a travelling magician, lest a dragon of the elements. I want you to be properly handling a blade, specifically the one gifted to you by our Lord.” -Hexlith (It’s been a while to hear back from me, hasn’t it? I just found something from my book that is VERY dramatic from Hexlith to Gavir. If you were reading the book, you’d see previously that Gavir was using hallucinations.)

    • http://draconia.katbox.net RazorFox

      You’re always plugging your book. What’s it called? Where can we buy it? You do all this advertising, but you never tell us where we can get more.

  • MrAMP

    Hm…I wonder if she can do tigers too.

    • http://draconia.katbox.net RazorFox

      I dunno, but at this point, underestimating Briella is a dangerous proposition.

  • Bojac727

    As much as I enjoy this comic, I’ve been starting to feel a little “burn out” over the last few weeks. I hope this plot strands wraps up, because it’s impossible to keep this level of suspense going forever.

    • http://draconia.katbox.net RazorFox

      I admit, I’m ready to move on, too. I should have it wrapped up soon. Glad you enjoy it, otherwise. ^__^
