page #45 is finished!

in which Shift recounts a strange sighting.

oh and, have some concept art.

Spoiler:  the Keep, interior of city walls (click to show/hide)

[Sensei]

Lotsa empty space. Unless it's a colliseum or something, you'd expect every square inch people can get to be loaded with markets, smithies, fields and stables. Open, paved spaces are a modern phenomenon.

[Fault]

the empty space is intentional. The Keep is a religious city... and Faith isn't as strong as it used to be.

the other cities surrounded it are exactly as you described... but the Keep has a comparitively low population of permanent residents. As such, it has a lot of problems with finance and upkeep...

[Rose]

oh god, not the damned wolfbears again.

also, that treasure in the temple? it looked like a facepalm

In such case you should add some natural degradation to it, perhaps some vines and plants and definetly some blatant religious symbols to denote it as a religious city and not a trade city.

Agreed.

yes, it will definitely have signs of decay in images that are close enough to have that kind of detail.

also, the torches surmounting most of the buildings are big impractical religious symbols.. humanity having that "degenerate fire cult" and all.

The frequent repetition of three doors or three windows also has a philosophical significance.

Then it should probably have more red in it like tattered banners with flame symbols and if the lowest part is in the middle of the city it should have a flame pit of some kind.

[Sensei]

Suggestion: They discover a new creature, and name it a Wolfbear.

Actually it's probably whatever... trolls? Orcs? Things the goblins were fooling with.

[RedWarrior0]

Wacth. This creature will just be an ordinary dire wolf.

just keeping you up to date with the works in progress here...

as for the main comic, I'm focusing on getting page #35 coloured right now.


and for behind the scenes stuff, I've recently been working a detailed chart of all the individual villages in "the civilized world" area.

image is too large to be read in a forum post. for convenience, I have directly linked it.

it is also accompanied by a few drawings of cats...

assuming my printing is legible this should clear up questions about population and industry... but if you're wondering about anything else, please ask.

[rarborman]

How can you call those cats?

I'd really like to see some Mt. Bakar art if you're not too busy.

[Sensei]

Call me crazy, the the cat with the arrow pointing to it that says "That does not look the least bit like a cat" actually looks most like a cat, out of all of them.

The others remind me of Alien Hominid/Castle Crashers

Have to agree with this...

Page #35 is now fully coloured!

I wouldn't have guessed that the cat scribbles would be the most interesting thing about that map... :-/

...whoa, you found a way to type the name of that mountain. impressive.

[rarborman]

You mean Baar or Baar?

Also, cats are always more interesting then maps as a rule of thumb.
