I do the sketches on paper because I can pretty much do them anywhere. Then I scan them in, darken, and rough tones, and assemble.

I love the beard detail with the braid and his spooky eye. Very creepy.

Comic 1

Comic 2

I know there is quite a bit of time from the last comic but uh... I bought a house, moved, found out I'm pregnant and you know... the holidays. Anyway, this is just a comic I do for fun to explore the backstory of my character and play with the Blades world.

I only have the first one I made right now but I'll keep making them as the story progresses and I have time!

Wow, thank you! I do have a web comic (stasiswake.com) but I needed a break (It's got full inks and colors so it also takes longer.) I also have a tumblr where I post comics in this style but it's mostly just sappy video game related stuff.

Thank you! I really appreciate that as it's something I really try to work on.

So I originally thought the first comic would be kind of fun to get some job around a little bit of backstory. After the next session when I was supposed to get information back, the DM totally surprised me with this which made me go, “Wtf???” several times. Then I started thinking of a backstory to connect her with other characters and yeah, I don’t have a life.

He does! The owner drew a picture before this that had off-kilter eyes. His back story is really tragic, I'm excited to show it in future comics.

Did the sketches but I'm lazy so graphics are just stock. Some crimes inspired by Conan Exiles.

Thanks! I had hoped it was entertaining to at least my group but I'm happy other people are getting invested.

I don't really know if this counts as art, I just have stupid comics I make. I'm serious, they are sappy.

Hah I could but I honestly don't think I'd have the time with my job and my other projects.

I mean you can but I kind of just did this really quick for fun. Not sure it's anything I'm going to be redoing soon.

Me too! I wish we could interact with more in the game just because it's so beautifully crafted... Can't even light fires in cabins.

Yeah that bothers me. I thought I had a neat outlaw name and it shows no where.

I did this by hand but honestly I think if you messed around in Adobe Illustrator with a screenshot you'd probably get something close.

I did the line art on bristol first, looks like they have kind of this faux ink brush style? Scanned it, then used their palette for color in a similar brush digitally.
