Yeah, make friends with the best that ate several fo our elves, is a titan, and who we trapped. That'll work real well.

Situation: We have casualties, the titan is in a cage [which works as a static forcefield keeping it from harming others] yet there are gaps which we can converse with it.

We have miles yet to traverse of open land and we haven't yet encountered any other sentients other than our main objective. We must at least try to befriend it, it may prove useful.

In all essence of that, if I was made an elf then let me be the one to try [or die] in taming the titan.

Elves of amanereli, generating avatars since early 2010.

A note though;  the art seems more grim than in the first images.  I think it might benefit from cleaner lines to make it seem slightly more comical.

EDIT: that was rather vague, however the earlier images artwork seems more playful

[SHAD0Wdump]

It is an interesting point. I've found Darker Dark's artwork to have improved massively since this started.(if this is to guage his(her? I swear I've heard 'her' somewhere) actual improvement or if he/she was really just drawing more lax before)

I find myself to enjoy the higher level of detail.

Yeah, the earlier art was a bit more comical, wasn't it? Maybe that's why I haven't had any good jokes lately. The artwork is too serious. Hmmm...

I personally prefer the less detailed artwork, except for rare occasions....

Yeah, using the higher detail is great for the moments of awesome.

I definitely agree with going back to comic-style artwork with a few detailed pictures where it counts.

[Armok]

I though it looked more serious because it was raining and under the shade of trees, and because of the general mood.

Now, art detail.  I say do whatever you want, DarkerDark.  Your stuff is awesome.  Are you convinced that the art style, itself, imposes on your ability to be funny?  You could do more cartoon-like exaggeration with the older art, yes, but those aren't "jokes."  Most of your jokes are comedic reveals hiding behind a spoiler, which are funny if they're funny.  E.g., Emofe hat.

So the only difference would be in whether the delivery is cartoony.  That's up to you.

The links are indeed mostly broken for me. They just redirected to the bay12forums homepage.
As for the art. I think the latter drawing style with more detail is way better. Like, really, much better.

An update!

Shock. Amazement! And WOW! The quality of the story, the humour, and the art, all just as great or better. Glad this one's survived, DarkerDark.
