Thistil Mistil Kistil
by Sarah Schanze
Velkommen!
Thistil Mistil Kistil is a comic about vikings, Norse gods, and their adventures together (or against each other). Updates are on Thor’s Day.
Happy birthday Sarah!
Ah, Ibrahim needs a hug.
Have another Ibrahim from me – http://dragonpony999.deviantart.com/art/Grumpy-Ibrahim-354716161
Haha, thank you so much! That’s a very accurate picture of him. He definitely needs a hug! Everyone in this comic needs a hug.
Yeah, everyone. But I’m too scared Coal will attack me if I get that close to him
or HeddaHappy belated birþday! finally got caught up, but now i’m sad because I can’t read more! D:
Also, since I’ve been lurking till now, I’ve gotta tell you that I love the comic! really unique and cool art style 🙂
Ah, thank you so much! I’m glad you’ve been enjoying the comic! There’ll be more pages, don’t worry! But it does go slowly. XD
Love Ibrahim’s puppy eyes 😉
Haha! He’s pretty good at them.
<3 Moorish architecture <3
Also, the timing on this page is great!
Thank you! I hope it gets across that the last panel is after the prayers. If not the next page definitely will I guess. XD
Five times a day? Must be tough on the knees. I thought it was eight times a day.
According to my reading, it’s just five, but maybe there are sects that do it eight times a day? I can’t say for certainty, but most is just five times a day.
Knees? Hardly.
Muslims pray by prostrating themselves in the direction of their holy city.
Five times a day they have to stop what they’re doing, grab a compass and a map, then get on all fours and get their face as close to the floor as possible without cutting off air. This is why the fez was such a hit with them.
I am absolutely LOVING the attention to detail you put into this. The authentic call to prayer, the beautiful architecture, it’s amazing.
Thank you so much! 😀
It’s times like these I realize just how beautiful these people made everything. Their writing, architecture… It’s all fantastic, and you did a great job showing it.
All in all, you did a great job with this page.
Thank you! Yeah the stuff they created is even more amazing than what I can draw here. It’s just stunning stuff!
He looks so sad D: Poor Ibrahim… Makes me wonder what sort of person his father is.
Haha, don’t worry, you’ll meet his dad soon!
I am excited to see how you designed his father. So far I’m lovin’ all these new characters, even if they won’t appear again.
Hehe, thanks! I did post a sketch of his dad and the other characters on my Tumblr a while ago, but the design still sometimes changes even right up till I do the page. XD
I kind of know how Ibrahim feels when my parents and teachers talk to me about my future like for collage and jobs it can be so stressful especially when I don’t see eye to eye with them on certain things.
just hang in there Ibrahim
Yeah, talking about the future can always be tough! Ibrahim will just have to deal with it.
I love how clearly your art shows how small he is feeling. 🙂
Hehe, thanks! That’s just what I wanted to get across. XD
You know I’ve been starting to wonder what time this is set in ever since titling Plato as an old philosopher and I think I can just about hazard a guess at 107 A.D.? Somewhere along the lines of that.
TMK actually takes place during the Viking Age, which was late 700s to early 1100s (AD), give or take. Ibrahim lives in Cordoba, in present day Spain, when the Moors were in charge of most of that country at that time. Thank you for reading!
