Bk1: Ch7: Pg4
Arayanna: Sir Syril, I am very glad you decided to join us.
Sir Syril: You sound like you were unsure that I would.
Arayanna: Well, to be honest, I was not sure how you felt about us. We do have a tendency to violate your laws concerning magic use on a fairly regular basis.
2b.
Sir Syril: My lady, most of my time as Vridhan Knight I have served here in Bentl. I fully understand that the bond between Porro and Porran is, shall we say, unnatural?
Sir Syril: But, the Porro and the Porran have been accepted by the Knight's council.
3a.
Sir Syril: Over time, I came to understand that this acceptance is most likely because the Porran make the greatest war horses, and a Knight is not truly a Knight without one.
3b.
Sir Syril: This is Bar'tan. We have been together for many many years.
Arayanna: He is beautiful.
Sir Syril: Yes. Strong, wise, and a true friend.
4a.
Sir Syril: So, it has occurred to me that not all magic can be evil, and therefore not all magic users are evil.
Sir Syril: A knife is only a knife until someone turns it on another. Only then does it become a weapon.
4b.
Arayanna: Very wise words. Would that all of your brothers would agree with you.
Sir Syril: Showing the value while controlling the danger – that is how we will change minds.
Sir Syril: But make no mistake, I will not tolerate any use of magic will ill intent.
Arayanna: A fair warning. Thank you.
5b.
Arayanna: Who's turn is it to cook dinner?
Sir Syril: I believe it is Maeye's.
Nihklas: Oh. In that case I think I'll just have leftovers.
Kraghen: Aye, I think I have some stale jerky around here somewhere.
Maeye: Hey!!
6a.
Maeye: We've been wondering around in the wilderness for almost a week now. Do we even know where we are going?
Arayanna: I am not completely sure. But I feel like something is guiding me...or drawing me...or...
Maeye: Well I hope we find whatever it is before you freeze that pretty little ass off.
6b.
Arayanna: If you are worried about that, then get in here and warm it up, my little fireball.
Maeye: As you wish, m'lady.
7c.
Maeye: Something is wrong.
Maeye: Something is coming.
8a.
Arayanna: Everyone to arms!
Arayanna if you’re worried about freezing off your lilly white ass walking barefoot in the snow with only a shirt should do it.
I guess they were just in a hurry to see what was going on, but the outfit will definitely not be helpful in combat.
jeeze i hope this is perspective , an not a giant wolf… just a bunch of NORMAL wolfs.. (wolves, i know)
Doesn’t look to be a wolf…
Not a wolf. And definitely big.
Interesting page, my Prentil artist :D. Just a few minor corrections, take care of the shadows and the textures of the snow terrain, those shadows are very marked, they should be somewhat more diffuse. And the light source is more coherent or visible, to generate such defined shadows. The footprints in the snow, are a very hard work. But they tend to be bluish, and not black.
In the foreground of Maelle being startled, it is perhaps difficult to illuminate something that is supposed to be really dark. It only remains to deceive the eye, putting light where there is not. (sorry me English, I am a perpetual student) Regards, Feori.
Thank you for the suggestions. The footprints were definitely a pain to paint in. I will try blue next time and see if that helps.
Maeye! Don’t throw snowballs into the face of someone wearing glasses!! Seriously though, great page. I particularly like the sense of scale in the first panel and the perspective in the last one. And Sir Syril truly has mellowed out!
She could have simply dumped it down his back, would that have been better? 😛
LOL!
Yea. Not cool, Maeye! She’s always up to something!
Wait, no one is going to comment on the giant paw-tracks in panels three to seven? o_O
So yea. Giant footprints everywhere. And why the hell are these people sleeping without someone on watch? They are trying to find the source of some evil that is causing all the critters in the area to go blood thirsty crazy, and they just settle down and go to sleep? What the hell is wrong with these people!?!?!
Serious plot fail on my part. LOL.
Nope, not a failing on your part, blame the military guy, or maybe the evil werewolf
Oh, Fiet is the birdie in panel one, and sounds like Maeye needs more time cooking 😀
Yes! Good catch on Fiet the bird. And yea – Maeye can’t be good at everything! 😀
Hey friends. Take a peek at the Incentives post on the main page when you get a chance.
Clearly would be one or more big kitties in this universe – might be canids with retractile claws in the story universe.
Also, short-ish muzzle and whiskers are more feline in structure.
They do actually look more like big cats than big dogs.
Friends, I am having significant computer issues. I am going to strip the system down, clean, rebuild, and then refresh and update all hardware drivers. Hopefully this will solve the problem, but this is definitely going to set me back on page delivery. I will keep you all updated.
Hello Prentil Family! Good news. PC surgery was successful and we are back online as of Sunday afternoon. I have been rendering like crazy these last two days. The last render is baking as we speak (well, type). So, barring any other shitty interferences, the page will be up tomorrow night!
