Crusher is known to be a wrecking ball badass who always led the charge. She's a badass, opinionated, and easily irritated. They are watching this proud woman, who bullies everyone who cannot fight in melee, beg for her treat. It's a bit disconcerting.
As I mentioned in page 361's post, the Prisoner has an aura of mana...
October Mega Links are ready. I've added today's comic as well for a total of 13 new pages and 8 new concept images of the new hounds.
After all of the overtime, I decided to relax and stop working after 10PM each night. A little time to relax, watch art tutorials, and catch up with a show or two. I hate it. Like so many resolutions I broke that promise on day 1.
Right now, I'm using the excuse that much of my day is spent doing the mountain of ...
I kept redrawing panel 1, each time an improvement. I've seen the process videos of many artists. Endless hours spent refining the same outline until it appears clean and effortless. Mine looks messy in comparison but I am starting to like my own artwork instead of only seeing the mistakes.
The floor glows ag...
So there are a few aspects to this page that should lead to some questions. Such as the floor is glowing, there are people floating from before, and some are being held in place. I've already mentioned that the Prisoner is holding them in place and the glow on the floor has something to do with it. I'll explain it in detail i...

Prisoner shows that he's installed phrases and codes to the hound process. Insight is outright humiliated and painfully aware that these phrases would be added to her as well.
In other news, it feels good to finally be finished with the long-term commission. It's like I can finally breathe again.
I'm going...
I think I've developed a reputation for not showing sex scenes. Well not this time. This time jump was a tease and a head feint. You thought I wasn't going to, but no. There will be pages of it. And this scene shows exactly how little time passed between chapters and reassures readers of what is to come. At least, that was wh...

We're jumping straight into the comic! I plan on drawing covers for each chapter in the future so that there would be a proper reset between the pages.
Here you see blood being poured into Clipper's face and that is Firecracker's arm on the bottom of the page. The Prisoner sets bones with his magic and yo...
8 sheets with 3 images each. Showing the injuries and the transformations of each member. I plan on doing more for the Prisoner and his Custodians but these 8 took me 47 hours. I hope you guys get a kick out of these.
I've also included a power chart in a hexagonal form.

And here we end this current chapter. Following this will be the rest and recovery chapter. Which is how I plan on moving forward with the comic in the future. Story and combat beats followed by spirited 'relaxation' chapters. Besides the fan service, what I'm hoping for is more character interactions and reactions. And it cr...

I ended up spending more time on this page than usual. I was almost done, but decided to improve it before sending it out.
The Prisoner is speaking in a way he thinks the Owl would understand. So he speaks in metaphors and simile like he came out of a fable. Warden would've called him out on it, but she's not her...
Definitely getting better at drawing the Prisoner's magic.
Ros-Mei - the owl in question asks a good question. I like to think of it as if a modern man went to the time when people were still using spears... and he had a rifle. Its the same thing, his body has been enchanted. He's cheating much like a knight in a...
Redrew this image more than a few times. Its part of the process and trying to reach a certain quality bar.
Right now, I'm lost in writing about the downtime and comfort pages. How do I make this scene sexy without being creepy? I can do both. But how do you straddle the line and keep everything tasteful, intelligent,...
Drawing magic is hard.
My magic system is color based on the person purely for clarity reasons. The Prisoner's magic is generally a pale blue. Insight is green. Warden is green and yellow. The Divinity is yellow.
These are not hard rules. The Prisoner's blood magic is obviously red. And his voice magics ar...
Page 91 is where I explained what his shackles were. 260 pages later some of the shackles are finally released. Power progression is occurring and story promises are being fulfilled.
When I look at the page numbers like this, I simultaneously feel I should speed up my comic and slow it down. But I know what I've chosen...
14 extra pages have been added today! 350 pages!!! Not bad for 2 years and 3 months.
Looking forward to finishing the large scale commission and 100% focusing on the comic again.
I struggled with determining who died in this fight and what the aftermath was. Insight's spells are mostly created to be survivable. The elves prefer their captives to be alive after all. Plus more toys.
The Prisoner loses the shackles on his left arm. This is the start of a whole new level of shenanigans.
Crusher just wants a seat warmer. One she can really sink into and get comfortable with. She's also letting the corruption she has as a hound affect Insight.
So Crusher feels a sense of surety, the feeling that everything she does is the right move. The overriding imperatives associate strong sense of well-being ...
Ah Crusher. Here she is reveling in her victory. Seeing a helpless Insight in front of her, she can't help but smile.
The equipment the owls and ravens wear is strong. Especially the helmets. Crusher was as strong enough to punch through an owl's helmet without her exo-suit. She survived the explosion and recovering qu...
I wonder who's foot that is? I'm sure you guys know...
It's near the end of the chapter, which means I'm setting up for the future as well. There's a few clues as to what happens next in this page... Which will be covered in the far future for the next chapter.
For now the 'interrogation' and 'aftermath' o...
The crown, lost in the explosion. The worst outcome.
The concussive force is keeping the Ravens and the Owls dizzy. The fastest one to recover is the Prisoner.
Victory. At last.
Insight's orbs simply change the center of origin of her given spells. There is no shrapnel involved. The explosion is a pure fireball of fire and pressure changes. And the clothing the Owls and Ravens wear are heat resistant and very protective. Insight's hand however were too close to the center.
On another not...
Someone's panicking. She's trying multiple spells, like the arch-mage she is, and it is simply not working.
As you can see the Prisoner was messing around with the belt from the page before. His shackles are anti-magic and he has a limited amount of control over how it is applied. He uses this to specifically weaken th...
Swagger to the rescue again! He's the MVP of the battle. The tank screaming at his teammates why they can't DPS the boss fast enough.
Insight's team are remarkedly loyal and competent. I didn't want all the half-elves to be mustache twirling villains. Insight's team are willing to throw themselves into mortal danger t...
This reveal hints to the readers who do not have these entries that this battle has moved to the Prisoner's strategy all along. And for pacing reasons I have to consider most readers in the future will be skimming over the content at light speed. Its easy to miss details and think about the motivations page by page when there...

It's too late. The Prisoner has her well in hand. Insight's adrenaline is spiking. Fear grips her entire body and she locks up. She doesn't know what to do and the anxiety and fear overwhelms her. Insight has almost always fought from the skies or the rear. Distance and maneuverability has kept her safe. Until now.

And the plan falls apart and Insight starts to panic. She cannot see a solution, as she expected to have advance notice. Her backup plan was to carve a spell circle (much like ones used in traditional demon summoning rituals) around the Prisoner. Which would have lowered the mana usage and freed up some of her owls to face an...

Crusher is much stronger than she was before. She broke the Owl's arm and ribs in the same blow that destroyed the staff she was holding. She's taken down two Owls in a very short amount of time. Leaving the barrier weaker and weaker.

Poor Owl. She knows she's next and no one is standing in front of her.
