thanks! I've been busy the last couple of days, but I got a lot of freetime tomorrow. I should be able to get most of the linework for the next page done.

I also have to write up something about Dwarven Religion as well...

[Fault]

Why the hell would the idiot touch the statue anyways? Always avoid statues in creepy dungeons, it's rule #6 in the Adventurers Useful Handbook!

I really love the depressed, sad and helpless look on William's face on the last picture. You are an amazing character-artist, Fault.

thanks. I was actually worried that his face wouldn't look serious enough, or.. however you'd describe it.
I mean obviously he has to look sad, but not to the point where'd he'd be excessively emotional. A sort of quiet, bleak despair, considering the magnitude of what he has lost.

Josef isn't really the kinda guy who'd prepare for anything by reading.

Spoiler:  Dwarven Religion (click to show/hide)

 DWARVEN RELIGION

history:
As far back as the dwarves can remember, certain individuals of their species have claimed to hear the voices of gods. Some gods were even thought to have manifested physically to commune with the dwarven race. The first of these gods, who was only known as a God of Storms, was believed to have created the dwarven race some time before the age of peace.
The dwarven gods were strongest during the age of war - there were hundreds of supposed manifestations on the battlefield, and many reported hearing the gods chanting and pounding war drums during thunderstorms. However, A strange thing occured on the day the human "saviour" was born. For the first time in centuries, the dwarven gods were silent. And since his birth and death, no dwarf has ever reported hearing them again. This led to a decline of the dwarven priest class, until the only remnants of their once great faith were idols that sit neglected in the houses of particularily superstitious dwarves.
religous figures:
Thunder God: The leader of the dwarven Pantheon, who was believed to speak to the King and the high priests of dwarven society. It is said that particularily significant dwarves were taken to his halls after their deaths - some were even thought to have become gods themselves.
Other Gods: the dwarven pantheon contains countless gods (some more widespreadly worshipped than others) who were believed to be dwarves who died and were taken up to live in the thunder god's halls.
religous sites:
There are many dwarven temples (usually situated on mountaintops or underground caverns) in the far south and east of the world, but since the great exodus to the areas surrounding the Keep prior to the age of reason, almost all of these temples have been forgotten.
Holy book:
The history of the dwarves and their gods is traditionally engraved on the walls of their dwellings, or carved into stone tablets. Dwarves, being a long-lived race, prefer more permanent materials (like stone) to the books and scrolls used by humans.
Current practices
Particularily suspicious dwarves might keep an idol of their family's patron deity in their house, or perhaps utter the god's name as an expression of shock, but other than that there is widespread agnosticism among the modern dwarven populace (mostly due to the recent silence of their gods and the dissolving of the priest class)

Eh. I have some criticism, but I do not like typing on my iPod too much.

[Fault]

please, point out anything that was wrong with it.

I kinda rushed it cause I said I'd have it out about a week ago.

[Sensei]

The dwarven religion one wasn't that great. Mostly, it makes sense, but could use some detail. Your Thor-Odin amalgamation is a little too obvious, you might want to mix it up a bit. For starters, it could use a little more explanation for the culture that nurtures the "dwarf stereotype", or at least I think as much. It might also bear mentioning, albeit implied that dwarves as a culture were striven to achieve before due to the tangible nature of their religion as afterlife-reward. But obviously if that's not your vision then whatever.

I might contribute a little more later, but it's your mythos.

[Fault]

yes, it definitely needs a little more work before it goes into the Original Post.

however, some things I have to keep intentionally vague; there are certain details about Effigies cosmology that I am not revealing just yet (particularily the mechanics of how the Dwarven Pantheon exists simultaneously with the other religous figures)

[RedWarrior0]

I have theories on all of those things.
