It's funny; during the 60's-80's, a number of cities in various countries tried designing apartment superstructures, but it turns out that kinda makes people go crazy and develop mini-ghettos and territories within. On second thought, that's not all that funny.
China's still doing it, though! http://imgur.com/rhb3bC4

Indeed, and to great peril. Tsk, China, that's not how they built the Ripley's building.

Despite the fact that real insects can keep crazily motionless when hunting in the case of carnivorous or omnivorous ones, they are pretty high-strung creatures. As far as I know, their bodies process a lot of sugars. As for the Indrel, it is probably something like this...Indrel culture revolves around the hive and working in the hive...one who is exiled usually has no real desire to be around other peoples and cultures, just their hive, so they literally go hyper-stir-crazy from nothing to do. All that sugar in the blood, lol. I doubt Yannit will go nuts, because she thinks she is in her new hive. Though I totally see her molting into a warrior in the future to protect her new movepack .
Actually I didn't mention that all insects or ants eat sugar, I said that as far as I know all insects process a lot of sugar in their bloodstream. More tends to be generated, if I remember correctly, due to the insect metabolism. Actually all or most creatures convert food into sugar, some more so than others.
I suppose then it would be better to say that insects process and convert more food into sugar in their bodies than most other creatures, ratio to size oriented of course.
Most bugs are 'antsy' because of their metabolisms and their bodies are constructed for twitch movements better than other creatures...like the movements and hunting strikes of an assassin bug or praying mantis.
So it isn't too far fetched that Indrel are a bit like this, but ultimately that is up to Val.
Speaking of mantids, if you've watched the "Ask the Average Yinglet" flash, their eyes move like a mantids in a way.

I hope the comic doesn't turn into some transgender-porn fest. Thus far it actually seems like an awesome web-comic. I remember that one ring(or was it a belt?) in the first Baldur's Gate that could turn a character that wore it into the opposite sex...lol, fun times. I'm trying my best to hope this stays a legitimate fantasy comic.
I have to say, Val, I love your Yinglets. Strangely enough I think you created a race that fills both 'small and annoying young race' as well as 'mysterious race with secrets'. I don't think anyone has done that before, at least not very realistically. The Yinglets themselves are a strange mix of dangerously annoying and lovably cute.

Ha ha, that belt. What's more is that before you loot it, the belt is being worn by an ogre wandering around in the wilds. That always made me wonder what was up with that ogre. A female who used it to be one of the guys? A male who accidentally put it on and couldn't get the curse lifted, then wandered off in its own out of shame? There's a story there, aye; one that ends with a bunch of adventurers sticking a sword through it, but still.
Anyway! I was well aware of how many different ways this comic could be conveyed when I originally put together the content, and decided upon a general PG-13/R rating. What I'm going for (aside from being entertaining, of course) is more of an exploration of the setting, and the characters' lives and perspectives rather than a porn comic, so there won't be any close-ups of throbbing yinglet bits or the like. I might include some differently-rated side content or standalone pictures at some point, but I'm aiming for the comic itself to be approachable by those not necessarily looking for porny content, so rest your fears!
And thanks for sharing your thoughts on the yinglets; I'm always trying to figure out how various characters and races are being perceived, since as the one putting all this together, I can only see things from that perspective. The two sides of them you mentioned is something I had to work on a lot to properly balance, so I'm glad that it's turned out well. Despite all the 'fantastic' stuff going on, I've been basing all the species and cultures on (semi)realistic biological and anthropological trends; the yinglets in particular are the embodiment of nature's tendency to produce erratic, high-risk-taking species in large numbers, expecting most to die but a few to succeed and pass on their genes. That, and I've often wanted to explore the situation of a recently-turned-self-aware species during the period between their hunter-gatherer stage and establishing a basic culture/civilization, especially in the case where other species have already developed their own on the same planet. Do they keep away from the more developed civilizations in hopes of developing their own without outside influences, or use what's already been created (language, writing systems, etc) at the 'cost' of diluting their own culture with the more established one? And, is that a 'cost' at all, or an outright benefit?
But aside from all the anthropological stuff, I really like the idea of scrappy, annoying little creatures establishing a society. If this were D&D, they'd be the kobolds or goblins that regularly set up little scrapwork territories in dark alleyways and caves before level 1 adventurers come in and stomp them.
Anyway, thanks for the comment! It really touched on a couple subjects that get me talking, obviously.

She's lucky he didn't think she was threatening him with her thumb-claw while she shushed him, but that's one of the benefits of working with such a dedicated researcher- they'd usually rather study than fear. At least Yannit, and what she's done while unattended, will probably distract Isher from being so down on herself, for a while. Hmm, Isher = Is her, interesting insight there Google spell-check. Nice page! Love the interactions.
really loving this comic, looking foreword to the next update.
It looks like Kass is adapting to her situation much faster then most would, I'm thinking that this was no accident, and that Lopin is moor then what he seams to be, It's as if he (Kass) was chosen, and not by random, the trademaster knows more then he's letting on, somebody has big plans for Kass concerning the Yinglets and I think I know what, there going to SPOILER and SPOILER, SPOILER Yep, poor Kass.

No, your not a horrible person young drelf, your just worried about the one you love, you must be strong for her, more then ever, now that she can't be, now; take a deep breath, exhale slowly, hold your head high, be proud of your draconic nature, fore that is your greatest strength, go forth, and hurry back to your home and check on Yannit, if all is well, come back to see how Kassie is doing, remember; you are not a horrible person, you are dragon blood and that makes you a glorious being, be the pillar of strength Kass needs, and help her in her new roll as a female.
Well damn, if there were people in her life telling her stuff like that, she'd never have these problems in the first place!
...But yeah, the little group dynamic that Kass, Elim and Isher had kinda relied on Kass being the one to take the lead, so Kass isn't the only one who's unsure of how to handle all this right now.

Thinking this over...that Isher does not want it known that she is a half-breed, the only way this makes sense is if she takes almost perfectly after her nonhuman father, like Spock looks like a pure Vulcan. She is passing as a member of that species. However, there must be a few subtle human traits to her appearance or Ran would not have noticed her nature.
