Issue #4 Page 19
Wednesday, the 21st of December, 2011
Merry Christmas everyone! And so it begins again... yep, the infamous transformations scenes. Don't expect it to be as long as the previous one, after all Luna's body is starting to get used to them. Upcoming pages will go and come between Collie and Luna in opposition to what the first transformation was. Still I expect to make it -artistically- better than last time, I'll try ;)
In other subject, some people wonder about the lack of shading of the pages. Well I haven't been working on it since I got help back when I was in the middle of issue 3. But when I came back this late my friend have been too busy to work in the shades as he used to do.
With time I hope we can catch up, but meanwhile I just post the ink work because that is what really matters. Shades are important for the publishing of the book, but in the mean time I don't consider it a priority, besides I already work a lot in the page as it is just by myself, I hope you understand.
As you know next weekends are Christmas and New year. So these weeks I'll updating 1 page a week.
Next will be on Dec 28.
See ya!
Leo

God Bless
Happy holidays Leo!
And merry christmas to you all! ;)
Hey Leo, about those fan arts, how do you receive them? By e-mail or on DeviantArt?
Anyway, this transformation is going to be awesome, once Luna is now awake.
Merry Christmas and happy new year for everybody!!
Mainly because your finger/toenails aren't really supposed to come off.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
(Also, for the other forum members, please tell me I'm not the only person who saw the hack...)
THE CRAW!!!!
Merry Christmas to you Leo, happy new year.
We have a situation with the forum, it's been hacked, check it out www.alphaluna.net/community
One of my friends uses this website a lot and wanted me to take a look at what happened. Obviously, your forum was hacked.
If you take the binary Dante wrote and run it through a translator real quick, you get:
"Hacked by Dante you should get better security, need help? FalloutxZero@Gmail.com"
The trailing text (what follows the cursor), "48 61 63 6b 65 etc" is simply the HEX version of that.
Team PS is Team Power Surge, a hacking and cracking (and defacing) group.(http://www.p0wersurge.com/)
Anyways, if you are the webmaster/admin/whatever I would suggest emailing Dante to get your forum back, if you are unable to do it yourself.
Bye!
I'm sorry but I can't help myself and despite people who just do this SH*t for fun or just money, they end up hurting a community and no more.
I'll try to fix these thing by myself for now, thanks.
As for asking help from the very people who hacked your forum - I'm raising an eyebrow at that suggestion myself.

Why would you do this to all the readers? I can't say if Leo has done anything to you, or vb, but I haven't. Doubt most of the readers have either. Did you do it for fun? A sense of superiority? I don't care, but I honestly want to know why you did it. I don't think it's out of spite, and that's the only reason I could come up with..
I feel terrible because there exist so awful people like you out there that, you know what, win no matter what. You made me feel very sick, you should congratulate yourself about that.
Leo, I do feel sorry for you and I know its hard but really, try to think rationally. Hacked by Dante, who hasn't done anything terrible (yet?), or hacked by some idiot who crashes your site and steals info, crashes servers etc? The decision is up to you but I am honestly glad AL is still up and running.. Aren't you?
Leo I strongly suggest getting my help ----
Email: FalloutxZero@Gmail.com
Skype: Dante848x
Or you can contact me at p0wersurge.com
Also,
"In reply to above, Leo will have to trust me. I can tell you right now that whoever he "hires" will not be as good as me."
That is just fucking arrogant. He'll have to trust the guy who hacked into his site and defaced his forum - fun. At this point I can't tell if you're just trolling or serious.
This kind of attitude gives the hacking community a bad name.
Did he expect us to be impressed? Are we supposed to feel grateful that he's going to "fix" our house? No, our house got broken into by an arrogant creep, he ransacked the place, and he thinks WE owe HIM an apology for not being more appreciative.
Get over yourself, Dante. You're no IT Robin Hood.
Of course, cleaning the walls isn't as difficult as buying the furniture again. But is no less than being a an ashole.
What I'd do instead is to knock the open door (hint: email) and explain the owner the issue to prevent the problem and offer my help, but if he doesn't want it just continue my way and I'd feel that at least I did something good.
But probably I'm coming from a perspective of a normal person and apparently Hackers have other standars and perspective about the internet, it's not about sharing, is about the strongest survives, the Survival of the fittest if you will. A radical point of view that is all revolution and shit. But you know? there is no war here, there never was one until you got here.
You're offering help of yourself and that doesn't make a lick of sense. Please, let this community be. You get help out of real friends, not from scumbag Steve.
On the other hand you should ask the site owner before running a security test. Im only 14 and i only onow a little bit about hacking so far but im sure i could find something about it of you really want :) ide do anything to help this site. Your work rocks Leo!
To Dante - Whatever your intentions were, you obviously aren't welcome here, best thing to do now is take it as a learning experience and be on your way.
To Leo - YOU ROCK! I love this comic. And look at how many people you got behind you backing you up right here. makes me feel all happy inside. ^.^
Even though this hacker thing has happened and its sucked for you, you also got to see loyal fans and that your art has inspired others to continue or do better in their art. (one of Takim's comments reminded me about my own inspirations from this comic.)
Keep up the good work Leo.
Este sitio puede tener ser vialated, pero es de Leo. Y debe seguir siéndolo. "O si no, no podría ser tan bueno la próxima vez?" ¿Qué es este chantaje? Leo, se ha comunicado a las autoridades o alguien que se supone que debe manejar este tipo de situación?
Grow up dante
So a black hat script kid has the illusion of being a white hat? Really get back to school or something kiddo.
Defacing is one of the easiest things to do: mysql exploit, deface. It shows how kid-like you are if you scream around how "great" you are, just like lulzsec (probably your idols). It gives real white hats a bad name. The ethos is that you ask permission first (preferably), then hack, and report back to the site owner. Doing anything else is considered black hat or even script kid behavior.
I agree with all other people here that the site's webmaster should not accept help from you. Heck if you even wanted to help, you would have said from the start how you did it in an e-mail to the webmaster. Instead, you're an nuisance to the victimized parties (the site's owner and the visitors).
Finnish police are nice because there are polices that have a job to watch over different sites. (not sure if the same is in America)
You obviously believe in hell, so I'll assume you're religious to some extent. Now, may I remind you that wishing someone the greatest suffering there is for such a trivial reason Is widely considered a sin.
@EVERYONE Dante's topic is over.
@Leo
He finally left?
This topic reminded me of this time at my work where a random customer started asking me these questions about my life and if I had any plans on going farther in my employment, mainly if I was still going to school. My answers were apparently unsatisfactory as she practically stated she was going to be making it her mission to get me back into school and thinking about a longer-term career. She said she was going to set up a appointment with a counselor for me.
While I believed her intentions were pure; I never did voice my opinion of her actions, but I found this very rude myself. She didn't have the right to be weaving herself into my life and assuming she knew what would be best for me. That's an invasion of privacy and pretending to be my parents or something of that nature. And considering that I was in a very bad state in my life where I wasn't comfortable with random strangers butting into my affairs (especially when I had no idea what could and still could change in the future), her persistence annoyed me to the point if she did come back and bothered me about forcing change in my current fragile life I was going to tell this to my boss and ask him to call the cops or ban her from the store (she had apparently started this schpeel on two other associates in my store too). And, Honestly, her offer plus story about how she successfully helped another person change his/her life for the better came off as some kind of commercial advertisement.
Luckily; she hasn't come back sense then. But my incident kinda of had some reverberation with this incident (i.e. Dante trying to force improvements on Leo and pushing it too far without his consent). Maybe my event isn't as drastic as what happened here, but I understand very well the frustration Leo had to go threw.
But that is all I'm going to say about it; sorry if I'm spamming on the event.
In other news: I hope you still managed to have a decent holiday Leo, and hope this doesn't throw off your creativity mood. If time needs to taken before getting back into the groove, take it.
Leo, how are the english copies of your volume 1 of Alpha Luna coming along?
Sorry, i have beem watching too much demon animes. I'm deebly sorry.
I just thought i was harsh thats all.No need to be "deeply" sorry ;)
Well, i'm still sorry, though i always have wanted to see what kind of place are heaven and hell.
Trust me Heaven is a paradise and Hell is a world of endless torture
Well yeah, i know that much, but i'm little bit unsure about heaven, because humans make so much sins, so i think if i should go to heaven or hell. Then as a human i should go to hell and have my punishment. Or so i think about myself. Othets do not deserve it, but for me i think that i'm just bothering other people with me been here.
Idk what your religious views are but i recommend reading the Bible.The Lord created you and loves you so know Heaven is where u belong.Read the Bible for any questions you have on Heaven and Hell.
Hope Leo will have new page at least at new year's day, that would be my angel looking little brothers birthday, but belive me he is more like a devil to me.
Leo
now I have to go and run a shit lot of scans on to my computer to make sure I dont get anything bad for the troll site
@Dante, Yeah, that shit does not fly well with people. "I am only ruining your life to see why you need me to fix it" does not work in real life, will not work here.
@ Takim and Crescent, The mind is capable of so much. You can give the body a sugar pill and if the mind believes it is medicine will cause many of the same effects that the "medicine" was supposed to produce.
Also, the mind is capable of plenty in our dreams- it brings out our worst fears or our most pleasant thoughts. I would be more impressed if a complete stranger showed up in a NDE and said it wasn't your time, since of course it will be family members long deceased, since the people in your dreams will all be based around the people you know or have seen. And why would a loving God send people to suffer for an eternity, and why can't He forgive at the pearly gates? And what absolute proof do you have? And do not say the Bible, since you then have to prove that true, since there is nothing that has been proven by itself and taken credibly, since said book also contradicts itself in many places.
Yes, i myself might think too much, about thinks that normal people don't think. And the sugar bill
thing, well i have had that kind of a thing before. And i know quite a lot of dreams, because i have too much time on my hand. The god thing is, at least what i know is, is that if a person who has made lot of sins is regreting them, he can go to heaven. Fun thing in bible is that, arch angel have names, demons have names, but know one knows the gods name.
Hope the new year brings many new things for you, and much more happiness.
I'm a silent reader who seldomly posts and I'm a loyal fan. I'm saving up my pocket money to donate 50$ sing to you. Hope you van use thatmoneyto help u Leo.
Seriously, we are in a seriously battered relationship with this deity here. Imagine a person telling us how worthless we were, and that only their divine bliss was saving us, or flooded a village for not liking them. They'd be pretty evil, right? And yet God isn't?
And I quite agree, people should really drop the religious rambling. Everyone is free to believe what they wish, and shouldn't try to prove that they're right or wrong.
Relating to the comic (as comments should be...), I am quite thrilled to see how the rest of this chapter unfolds! Looking forward to the next page. :)
And also, Dante can suck it, and wonderful comic! Here's hoping for one on Thursday.
You dont need one just look at the red box on the right of the site(nxt to the cutie paypal Luna) and it tells you the twitter updates.
Um. I wanted to say "Hi Leo! I hope you get better soon. Sorry for my bad Spanish, I'm still learning!" but I'm mostly going off memory from a phrasebook I'm trying to memorize and I couldn't remember the right words exactly.. I think I got the feminine/masculine things wrong too..
Um, anyways, yeah, hope you get better soon. Take it easy, don't rush and try to draw, you need rest =) por favor tomar la siesta.
Thanks for the wishes, I'm recovering I'm drawing now. Take care!
Umm. I think I got that one right though! I forgot the word for learning so I just substituted new.. Should've probably said new to Spanish though. Oh well. At least I'm making progress. Anyways, glad you're doing better but take your time =)
Yeah, that is pretty funny. That old man is so mischievous. I really liked Luna's reaction to Fang when he was doing his business out in the backyard.
xD lol that was soooo wrong in many ways.But still it was funny i admit that along with Fangs wonderful table manners xD
Y U NO post next page??
...
right? O.o
Jk! :D
I'm not feeling that great either. Had to go to the dentist last monday and that whole day was crap, yesterday was crummy and I still don't feel that great. Stupid dentists.. I probably wouldn't be drawing either. So I just hope both of us feel better soon Leo =)
Me, balancing the college classes as a full-timer this semester and taking time learning how to upload to my youtube account in between all of this and reading my current love, Dorohedoro.
Sometimes we all need a break from what we all do constantly, be it working, studying, or just nagging someone. Everyone needs time to heal and restore themselves to normal before re-approaching certain hobbies, goals, you name it.
Um anne...its been almost 3 weeks honestly so idk where youve been but whatever.Also whats with the "ungrateful" comment?He has a right to be excited about the next update.Sure i agree that we shouldnt be all over Leo blabing in his face about it but its your way of seeing things.
"This- This is really happening!" said Luna
Yes, I definitely think that Leo should rest ...... this work is very tiring, and I say this from experience, it takes much time to draw ....
I have followed his work for years and I am just grateful when he is able to update as it must take him a long time to complete one page and we are getting his great work for free
Keep up the good work Leo
Alas, out of 18 owed pages, a year and a half later, their front page STILL says "Comics owed: 10"
Just a thought. And a suggestion.
And a wag of the finger, because loyal fans deserve Respect. At LEAST come by and post a text update once in a while, Leo!!
A "hey, bad crap happening to internet, posting from library, sorry" isn't so hard. Stringing people along for months- or years-long hiatuses is not right.
Hopefully, things are looking up Leo.
I'm against SOPA, but you can't just claim the current "Big Bad Bill" in congress is going to affect EVERYTHING, because then you make opponents of the bill look like ignorant 'tards by association.
Leo get well soon

Now I doubt this site would be blocked, SHOULD such bills get passed. BUT if such bills existed, and the way they are right now phrased, anyone with money, power, or pull in the US government could force to sensor sites from US internet users. weather they be from outside the US or from within. This is similar to what we have been hearing and seeing in China. So if a group should take power in the US Government and decide they want to close off all outside influence to the US through the net, they could do it under these bills. Very similar to the book burnings and other acts that the Nazis did back before World War 2.
In short to all non-US viewers, these bills are an attack on the first amendment right of US Citizens and one we pride ourselves on, even if it has had a tendency to come back and bight us on the ass, Freedom of Speach.
@GEo: Very good information, indeed.
@Grace: I agree with what you said, it could happen or not. Wikipedia went black as did other site in opposition against these traitorous acts.
@Dude...: What about claims? If you listen/read to independent news sources, you would get the picture.
http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2012/01/19/feds-shut-down-file-sharing-website/
Long story short: Megaupload is gone.
1- If the site is in the US, it would become completely unavailable.
2- If the site is not in the US, it would become unavailable to US citizens.
3- If the site depends on AMEX, PayPal or other US based company, it would starve to death.
Finally, hosting in the US is usually cheaper than elsewhere, so there are good chances of Leo using an US based hosting company.
And by the way, the Tweeter icon still points to Dante's.
@Cresent: I see, you seem young for saying that. I checked the sites, some have links to contacting State Senators, and what such. As long as you got a voice, you have the power.
Yeah im 14 and i just hate the thought of no more AL :/ i see sites protesting about SOPA and am sick of this whole thing.
Ooooh, I hate guys like him! >_<
@DefenderX He had Lycanthropy long before he wrote this comic. Almost every single event in this comic has been inspired by real life events ;D
I wish, I can have someone digitally color it for me.
@GM: Do not own a TV with signal input; plus, who needs one in college?
New Mexico ROCKS, love it out here. 2 years and on... dang!!
