Page 215 – Dibs! & FAQ


With this update we want to ask you... to ask us some questions!
We need to rewrite our "about" section and we figured out that the best way to do it would be to simply answer the questions from our readers. If you'd like to know anything about the comic just ask in the comments under this post.
Thanks in advance and we hope you'll like the new comic page!

    If Hati is a god, why couldn’t he contact Iki himself? Why did Iki have to be taken to a certain spot?

    • Sky Lily

      Hati did contact Iki himself in the last chapter. The certain spot he wants Raigho to take Iki is a place where Iki could use a storage of spells located there to help him leap back into the sky and chase the sun. That is… if he cooperates.

  • SoulOne

    Do you want to translate the comic in other languages? Or you’ll try to find people who can translate and rewrite the pages?

  • Akane

    Are you planning to print your Comic in Poland (or other country) ? :3 I asked about Poland, cause i heared that you are polish artists :>

    • SkajaGP

      Chyba nie, ale przecież ja tam się nie odzywam ^^ . I tak, są polkami.

    • Lisa

      One mówiły że przetłumaczą i wydadza komiks po polsku jak skoncza ten tom :D :D

      • Akane

        Naprawdę :D ?
        A czy dowiedziałaś się tego ze sprawdzonych źródeł ? XD bardzo mi na tym komiksie zależy ^^

        • Lisa

          Tak od samych autorek ale to już dawno XD Mi też zależy to najlepszy komiks na świecie :D

  • Ana Bia.

    How do you face the development of the characters? (art style and personality)
    * sorry my english is terrible

  • Fairy

    What inspired you to write this comic? How was it that you came up with the ideas, and keep the story going smoothly? And lastly, where did you learn to draw?

  • Dave Howard

    What has been your best motivation for continuing this story?

  • LoupyVarg

    What program’s/techniques/tools do you use to make the comic?

    • http://www.facebook.com/noemi.csaki.7 Noémi Csáki

      a little research wont hurt will it?!

  • Laura

    Are you going to remake the older pages? they have a different style than the newer ones and its so… strange

    • SoulOne

      For Fenrir…have you ever read the “about” page? Isn’t too hard darling. Don’t make innecesary questions.
      And, yes, they’ll redo ALL the old pages.
      Sorry if sound a little bit rude :c

  • Remint

    What made you choose A5 over A4 as a printing size?
    When the comic does go to print are you planning to use a site like kickstarter to fund it?
    Do you still believe that the story will be able to be told in 3 volumes?

  • http://www.facebook.com/kristina.davtjan Kristina Davtjan

    What is your inspiration for the newest pages?

  • Voice

    What inspired the character designs and personalities? Are colour schemes mixes of real wolf breeds? Are the wolves based on real people you know?

  • Kris

    What gave you the idea for the white and black spirits and the coming of them in pairs to help shape and give balance to the world?

  • Leh meeeeeeh

    Why did you choose a norse mythology over the others?

  • LoupyVarg

    Roughly how long does it take you to do a page?

  • LoupyVarg

    What are you thinking of selling in your store? (I know the comic and apart from badges)

  • LoupyVarg

    Could you say a bit about the mythology it is based on?

    • Lilmissartsy

      I think it is based on Norse Mythology, though i could be wrong. I am pretty sure i read it somewhere though,…maybe on the about page…

      • WhiteFire Raven

        Yes, it is Norse.

  • Alex

    Can you give a bit of background on the inter-species language used between Hati, Mugin, Hugin, and Raigho that’s written «like this»?

  • Birder

    This isn’t a question but a suggestion.. Although your “ravens” do have a raven face, they lack the wedged tail of a raven. All your birds just look like crows. Sorry if I sound rude! I thought that would improve your accuracy. Thank you for the great comics!

  • Jessi

    Oh oh oh I got a question!

    You come here often? ;D

    • HaloOkami

      Haha nice :P XD HaloOkami

  • Razzy

    Do the wolves verbally speak or do they talk mentally?

  • HaloOkami

    Why did you decide to name the comic “Off White”? Will the next volumes have the same names or will they be different? HaloOkami

    • http://www.facebook.com/noemi.csaki.7 Noémi Csáki

      thats easy. on one of the pages Albert said that the white wolf spirit doesn’t have to be pure white pelted, it can have 20% of a different colour. but with a plain answer, Iki’s colour is off- White :)
      p.s: could you stop writing HaloOkami at the end of every comment? its dead annoying umm no offence. everyone can see your name without you writing it down ;)

  • SpazTomato13

    What gave you the idea to make this?

  • SpazTomato13

    How do Raigho and Hati know each other?

  • Lisa

    Mam takie pytanie odnośnie planu wydarzeń w komiksie czy macie go przemyslane już od początku do samego konca dość szczegółowo czy stawiacie sobie okreslone punkty dość ogólne? A może macie przemyślany tylko poczatek i koniec a tak to jedziecie na żywca ? :D :D

  • Skitcy

    Do you plan to have any other mythological creature/s featured in the comic other then what’s been shown?
    (don’t really need yous to list them unless you want to, just a yes/no answer is fine)

    …I need to know o3o

  • http://dember.webs.com/ Dember

    My main question is something I’ve always, always wanted to know: How do you pronounce ALL of the wolves’ names? It’s horrible to have no idea if I’m saying them correctly, and by the looks of a lot of the fan videos, I’m not the only one who’s unsure. My secondary question would be; are the animals such as the wolves “speaking” out loud when they communicate, and if so, would the humans be able to understand them? I would normally assume that they’re just conversing in their own sort of “language”, but the fact that wolves can talk to ravens and whatnot makes me wonder if it’s not a more universal tongue. Thanks so much!

    • http://www.facebook.com/trixi.alexandrie Trixi Alexandrie

      I think it’s runes – those symbols you’re speaking of. And if I’m not utterly wrong, their spelled names is how you pronounce the runes :) I’m not 100% sure, but I think I read that somewhere :)

      • http://www.facebook.com/KattFloka Mikaela Stövelskaftet Asp

        They sure are runes! And each rune has a meaing, so if you’re interested in what the wolves’ names actually mean you can read it here :’) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runes

  • Abusori

    Co symbolizują kolory dusz? ;]

  • ROTH comic artist

    As someone who is trying to make their own graphic novel, what made you choose to do off-white in color over manga or american comic book style? Also why isn’t Hati on the cast page while Kaya is?

  • Archly

    What inspired the names? Why did you decide to name them what you did (besides the obvious mythological names)? Will you feature other parts of the pairs?

  • StarWolfen30BLW

    How come you guys don’t have Hati in the cast of characters

    • http://www.facebook.com/gemma.gomez.10 Gemma Gómez

      I think they said it was because if they did it would be a spoiler for new readers

  • KMCStudio

    At what time do you plan on going back and redoing the previous pages? Are you going to redo a chapter for every new chapter you complete? Will all three volumes (if you still intend on making it a three-volume series) be in color or will you switch styles to make page production faster and easier? Like others, I’m also very curious about how language works in the Off-White world; though I imagine it’ll be answered in-story, does every “pair” of creatures speak a language their sibling species can understand? The wolves and humans use the same speech bubbles and font, so I was curious if they could somehow understand each other. c:

  • michelle

    do you guys have a sponsor/publisher? How do you fund the site? Or do you fund this project solely through the web store? Just curious :)

  • Windrea

    Ok where did you guys get the idea to make MOST of the chars names by runes and sorta add in the personality with the rune they are named for?

  • Lilmissartsy

    Why is Jera so bitter? I know her kids were killed off, but why not be more receptive towards Iki and Isa? That’s my own theory.

  • HaloOkami

    Are you going to post pages weekly(one specific day each week) or post them at random? HaloOkami

  • Acinoyx

    To pytanie padało wiele razy: Dlaczego Hatiego nie ma w spisie postaci, a np. martwa Othala jest? :D Czyżby Hati zginął i odrodzi się jak Iki?

  • Deal With It!

    Finally, been waiting awhile for these pages. >.<

  • Bassai

    This isn’t necessarily about the actual comic… But what programs did y’all use when you first started computer drawing?

  • Fauna

    How much did the story of Off-White change since you first started drawing the pages? When you started the comic, was the story back then the same as what it is today, or did your story-telling abilities evolve with your rad art skillz to the point where you felt it had to be revised and looked over?

  • HellhoundMutt417

    lol Iki: “I call dibs on Isa! 8D” = Adorable. Oh my god, Jera and Iki are gonna be hilarious! I can’t wait to see how that will turn out. And the new “About” page. It’s gonna be awesome. :)

  • OkamiWolf

    You should have the original legend, about sköll and hati, and the story written like a book? Just so we know the background legend so were not as confused ;)

  • Jimewolfspirit

    what it dibs??
    que es dibs???

    • http://www.facebook.com/gemma.gomez.10 Gemma Gómez

      significa “me lo pido” más o menos
      de nada :)

      • Jimewolfspirit

        gracias

  • StarWolfen30BLW

    While you two are fixing the “about” section, will it inter fear with the new page?

  • Emily

    1. Do you write the story as you go along, or do you already have a story and you’re now illustrating it.
    2. Also, when do you hope to have the series done by? I’ve been following not for a few years and I’ve always wanted to know how much longer it will be until you’ve finished the book.

  • MI

    So, if Fehu is 7 years old and Othala is 6, how did she get to be his aunt?

  • LimoSpirit

    What type of letters are you using in the comic, and where can you download them for photoshop? :)

  • LicianDragon

    Does the spirit color of an animal correspond to it being Good or Evil? For instance, Raigho’s spirit color is fairly dark, but he doesn’t seem evil at all,yet Seven’s color if rather light and she isn’t all that friendly.

  • Em

    Not sure if this has been asked yet, but I’m curious about the “character page” .. Recenty you guys added the wolves’s spirit color to their profiles, and I was wondering if that could be explained more. Does the color of their spirit reflect their nature (i.e. most believe “good” to be a light/white and “evil” to be dark/black. However Iki/Skoll and Hati have proved that these characteristics are not specifically true to their black or white spirits)? Does the meaning of the colors/hues have to do with the plot?

    • dumdum dumm! *dramatic music*

      the spirit colour does NOT reflect their personality! I mean look: Jera has lighter soul than Raigho!

  • Wolf

    are you going to make series out off the comic?

  • kef

    if the snow storm happened 3 years ago, how comes iki is just 2?!
