Even though this comic says it was for the eighth of August, I didn't get to upload it that day. I had some issues connecting to the FTP--so I tried to upload it on the usual Sunday update. I spent all day trying to add to what you see here, but ... I didn't finish anything in time before midnight, so I uploaded this as it was. The mascots for the 2008 Olympics are deceptively complex in appearance--despite the flat color shading, their style is reminiscent of Link in Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. It was only natural for Sniff the Raven to be the mascot representing the swallow, "Nini." I'm the Tibetian Antelope "YingYing" there.

Oh, and as for the girl I mentioned, that'de be Hong Meiling. The Touhou fans call her "China."
... Of course, you all knew that Tristan Aileron would do something like this, if you've read RW for a while. Heheh.

This is the second half of the comic I was trying to do for the 08th of August, as part of the whole celebration thing revolving the date and launch of the Olympics. I finally was able to finish it and upload it, but not without changing some of the details to make it finishable. Such as, well, this part here. Heh.

I had to think long and hard on who might have been the other three mascots, but I couldn't think of anyone offhand. I was stuck, for instance, on who'd be the Phoenix: Novvy, Nth Power, or Gut Funk. I just couldn't deicde! ;_;
