Wow.
That is amazing!

nnnah, it's got a lot of anatomy issues.

but I was kinda just trying to sort out his colour scheme, anyway.

....now that I think about it he should be more of a cold grey than a warm grey

Dude, I can't seem to tear my eyes away from his pubes.

OH MY LORD

[Armok]

.... "anatomy issues" is one way to put it. O_o

[Sensei]

This is art shorthand for "he's naked, but that doesn't benefit the story and you don't want to see it".

Anyway dunno about the left arm.

page #41 is up.

in which William appears to be getting it together

I think I used a different pen on the last page... the lineart was a lot less thick on #40...

[Techhead]

I forgot to post here about how much I enjoy this comic.
I kinda wish you were more regular with the updates, but the same could be said about over half the webcomics I read, so it doesn't bother me too much.

Keep up the good work!

yeah, I'm going through like, a phase of artistic improvement right now, so a lot of my drawing time is spent on like, medium and stylistic experiments with this other group of artists.

It's a bit of a trade-off... my work gets better, but I have less time to update this project.

I haven't forgotten about it though, page #42 is currently at the "pencil sketch" stage.

medium and stylistic experiments with this other group of artists.

You should post it in the engravers guild.

[Fault]

to prove that I'm actually still working on this, here's the first panel of page #42.



it is 3AM so I'm afraid I'm going to have to stop working on the page for today. Expect it to be completed some time tomorrow.

[OmnipotentGrue]

Good to see you're working on this, when I read it a while back I don't think chapter 1 was finished yet.

[Fault]

PAGE #42 IS UP! (and only 2 hours and 2 minutes later than promised...)

in which a chekhov's gun is fired, and the plot actually starts building towards something.

man, sorry about having like.. 1 update over 2 weeks. I really gotta get back in to my groove, and return to weekly updates...

[Mephansteras]

Looks promising!

[Fault]

here's some concept art for chapter two, showing a bit of the design evolution for one of the antagonists.

Spoiler:  Rook the Goblin King (click to show/hide)

Final Version



Crown Concept sketches




Preliminary version (really old art)

Most of the changes were made to his armour. I thought it looked too elaborate for a warrior king, so I toned down the details for a more gritty look. I also tried to give it a more consistent colour scheme, only using greys and blues instead of all those gold highlights (I kept those for his earrings though)

That, and I made some changes to his skin colour and beard shape. His hair also looks more like a faded purple than a warm grey... perhaps going with the fact that DF 2010 goblins have all those outlandish hair colours.

i think you will be flooded with comments stating that guys liked the old king better, and i agree, but i understand that for a comic a simpler design might be more convenient. still, the huge head makes him look goofier and less menacing, even childish, and i liked the old color scheme better.
