This cover is also spectacular. Props to HMB. And PortalComic for the coloring. Title: Re: Beyond Rubies #10 Post by: Garg22 on October 29, 2014, 07:52:22 am Ooh, love the rope and chains on this cover. They convey a nice image of submissive slavery, but not having them actually bound to anything also give the impression that they retain their freedom.
Title: Re: Beyond Rubies #10 Post by: Haight on October 29, 2014, 01:50:14 pm There's something about chained up girls smiling that makes it like ten times hotter.
Title: Re: Beyond Rubies #10 Post by: jmundt29 on October 29, 2014, 02:57:26 pm Not for everyone.
Title: Re: Beyond Rubies #10 Post by: laguna85 on December 04, 2014, 01:44:44 pm Right now they are slave and you do not need chains and rope
all you need a computer and Beyond rubies it's program that beyond rubies rope and chains! Title: Re: Beyond Rubies #10 Post by: kakyo01 on December 09, 2014, 11:47:10 am i still don't know on who's side i should be in this story...
the girls: well, they don't count anymore... the moment they put the collars on they're pretty much done for... they're no longer playing "the game" but became 'the price' (i can't root for someone if the person is unable to make decissions for herself :P ) the company: not them, that's for sure. most of the staff from the company seem to treat women as playthings (or worse) Nick: maybe the 'lesser evil' ? for now Nick noticed that controlling someone can backfire if someone else is able to 'override' his control... and at least Nick had more or less decend behaviour towards the ppl he holds dear... his lovely ladies still know who they are, what they were... unlike some other testsubjects from the company that lost everything decissions, decissions... and all i can do is watch while the story unfolds x_X Title: Re: Beyond Rubies #10 Post by: stosh86 on December 18, 2014, 03:28:40 pm ;D Can't wait! Subscription is in the mail!
Title: Re: Beyond Rubies #10 Post by: Haight on December 18, 2014, 04:38:11 pm kakyo01, I dunno, I always felt that the main characters of this story were more the girls than anyone else. Nick is there because he needs to exist, but it's not like in Hidden Knowledge, where Daffyd's story is what it's about. While it's true that the girls don't want to be made less slutty, they'd just rather not be slaves of the company.
The ending I'm kind of hoping for is the lunatics running the asylum, that is, the rubied female board members end up usurping the company from the boss, and running the sexiest corporation ever. I'm all for maledom and harems, but the way this story is written I think I might enjoy it going in a different direction. Oftentimes in 'bimboification' stories there's a drop in intelligence or competence for the women subjected to it, I've never been a fan of it, and the Rubies are supposed to help mood, health, that sort of thing, so I'm wondering if they might a positive effect on things like mental function and concentration (when they're not fucking) as well? Competent, sexy slutty CEOs, interested in using their products to make the world a sexier, sluttier place might be the best thing ever. Title: Re: Beyond Rubies #10 Post by: jmundt29 on December 19, 2014, 05:32:45 am Haight--that would be very interesting, and quite a departure for our fearless talented author and artist.;) ;D
Title: Re: Beyond Rubies #10 Post by: Geo on December 19, 2014, 10:01:40 am Not that far off, really. You just need to be well read in the classics (http://www.mcstories.com/InEvilCompany/index.html).
Title: Re: Beyond Rubies #10 Post by: laguna85 on January 06, 2015, 04:41:20 pm Story come live tomorrow
Title: Re: Beyond Rubies #10 Post by: jlpicrdh on January 07, 2015, 01:01:48 am It looks awesome! One problem, it looks like the site is missing a page. It's page 10 in the pdf. Oddly enough it happens to be my favorite page of this issue. "And...oops!" Best moment of the issue. :)
Title: Re: Beyond Rubies #10 Post by: hereno on January 07, 2015, 01:17:04 am Is that a Paris Kennedy cameo? I am entirely unopposed to this.
Title: Re: Beyond Rubies #10 Post by: laguna85 on January 07, 2015, 04:42:45 am if you do not down load PDF file you only have 11 pages
You are miss page 09 of 12 pdf you are will be 10 of 13 is not missing. Title: Re: Beyond Rubies #10 Post by: Tony on January 07, 2015, 05:14:33 am I'll add that the Dialog on the last page is probably wrong. Instead of "How way we please you?" it likely should have said "How may we please you?".
The story was an interesting diversion and expansion from what we've been following. That's happened before so I'm looking forward to the next few chapters to bring the story line back together even more now. Title: Re: Beyond Rubies #10 Post by: Daphne on January 07, 2015, 09:50:32 am The events of the evening have given her a temporary lisp.
The page 9 problem is fixed. Title: Re: Beyond Rubies #10 Post by: Geo on January 07, 2015, 09:52:51 am Vertical panel flow. Nice touch.
Title: Re: Beyond Rubies #10 Post by: Snake on January 07, 2015, 11:40:41 am amazing steps for woman with big breasts :P
the last pic can to be perfect wallpaper with the two ;) Title: Re: Beyond Rubies #10 Post by: Daphne on January 07, 2015, 11:55:20 am The typo on page 12 is fixed.
Title: Re: Beyond Rubies #10 Post by: HarryManBack on January 07, 2015, 03:01:02 pm Is that a Paris Kennedy cameo? I am entirely unopposed to this. Why yes, yes it is.They are all "cameos". 3 MCTheatre ladies and 1 hollywood actress. Title: Re: Beyond Rubies #10 Post by: Geo on January 07, 2015, 09:16:54 pm Hollywood still exists? I thought that had been wiped out years ago by rampant piracy.
Now I'm going to have to watch a few movies to figure out who these people are. Title: Re: Beyond Rubies #10 Post by: Haight on January 08, 2015, 01:30:26 am Glorious. I was surprised that you guys pulled back from advancing the plot, but i enjoyed this wholeheartedly.
Title: Re: Beyond Rubies #10 Post by: Geo on January 08, 2015, 09:35:17 pm This is porn. Every now and again you have to say, "Fuck the plot."
Title: Re: Beyond Rubies #10 Post by: tods1976 on January 09, 2015, 12:12:00 am Hollywood still exists? I thought that had been wiped out years ago by rampant piracy. Now I'm going to have to watch a few movies to figure out who these people are. Left panel is Siri (pretty clear from p. 5). Others - not sure. Title: Re: Beyond Rubies #10 Post by: Tony on January 09, 2015, 06:26:11 am Paris Kennedy is the second panel. I found a headshot on the web.
Title: Re: Beyond Rubies #10 Post by: stosh86 on January 09, 2015, 12:38:20 pm So does the different light pattern (bubbles?) mean that the Rubies have a whole new power/addiction/control from what we've seen in past issues?
Title: Re: Beyond Rubies #10 Post by: GodWilling on January 09, 2015, 01:15:20 pm .
Title: Re: Beyond Rubies #10 Post by: HarryManBack on January 09, 2015, 01:55:46 pm So does the different light pattern (bubbles?) mean that the Rubies have a whole new power/addiction/control from what we've seen in past issues? You mean the color FX on the rubies themselves? No, that's just how Portal does lighting effects.Title: Re: Beyond Rubies #10 Post by: stosh86 on January 09, 2015, 03:32:46 pm I meant in the last frame. It's different from the swirling crackling bolts you usually see.
Title: Re: Beyond Rubies #10 Post by: HarryManBack on January 09, 2015, 06:54:18 pm I meant in the last frame. It's different from the swirling crackling bolts you usually see. Yeah, just a different style of rendering the glow.Title: Re: Beyond Rubies #10 Post by: gortogs on January 09, 2015, 07:22:46 pm Won't be able to sign up until the end of the month (mores the pity), but this appears to be focusing something of my favorite thing-- a look at how everything else is changing. So I'm assuming we see a lot of non-main characters changing? Lots of background shots of others, in addition, I hope? (There's something neat when in addition to the foreground character, in back panel the same thing is happening to someone else who you'll likely never see in the story again. It gets the sense that the whole world is changing).
Title: Re: Beyond Rubies #10 Post by: jmundt29 on January 10, 2015, 05:20:28 am So, the fanbase has identified Siri and Paris Kennedy. Who's the last glimpse, the gal who stays fiery for most of the process?
