Just like Gaia, The Adventurous Scarlet Carolus and the Machine of Eternal Summer will be a serious, long adventure story with some humorous scenes here and there. However, Scarlet will also differ from Gaia in several aspects. In order to align the expectations of our readers, here’s a short overview of the main differences between the two comics:
| Gaia | Scarlet | |
| Setting | Science fantasy with many elements from high fantasy | Dying Earth subgenre of science fantasy with limited fantasy elements |
| World | Young world in full bloom | Old, dying world |
| Conflict | Man vs. Man | Man vs. Nature |
| Species | Humans, elves, dragons, imps | Humans, anthropomorphic foxes and wolves |
| Story | Complex main story with several side plots, created ad-hoc during publication | Straightforward main story, entirely planned out in advance |
| Duration | Story takes place over four months | Story takes place over many years |
| Cast | Ensemble cast with several main characters and many supporting characters | Strong focus on the two main characters Scarlet and Tibor |
Despite the differences, all Gaia readers should also enjoy Scarlet. My general approach to storytelling hasn’t changed. Moreover, Scarlet Carolus will share several personality traits with Gaia’s most popular character Viviana. Like Viviana, Scarlet is brave, smart and practical. I hope you’ll like her, and Tibor, as much as I do.

Hi Novil,
Just wanted to know if you will be creating a RSS feed for this new comic.
This is how I got attracted to Sandra and Woo and Gaïa.
I start all my days by checking updates via Feedly.
