Welcome aboard, Yuuki! It was fun getting to draw Yuuki, his/her costume design and color palatte is very different from anything I've worked with before plus, as anyone used to my work might know, most of the women in Magellan aren't quite so… busty!
These last five pages were interesting to work on and presented a number of challenges. Originally scripted as three pages it was a bit of a roller coaster ride, taking Yuuki from a berserker rage to compliance in fairly short order. I decided to pace it a bit more - splitting the first page into two and the second two pages into three.
In the first instance it gave me the chance to spotlight Al's rather awesome phrase “Give me Hel or I'll give you Hell” which probably wouldn't have had quite the same impact buried somewhere within the page one (instead of ending it with a bang!). Secondly it gave me a lot more room for the action sequences. Also I added in some Suki dialogue to fill it out and give Yuuki a bit more time to calm down. In case some of you are a tad confused, the reason Suki has stopped trying to kill everyone is because she's been immobilized by Mindmistress' psyche-staff…
Anyway, that's all from me for now… make sure to tune in next Tuesday as Al takes over the art duties and our heroes make a break for it!
yuuki's hair is a bit off in panel 2. i had forgotten about the sword suki was using until i saw it in the 1st panel, took me a second to figure out why MM had a sword. what is hoodoo doing in the first panel? is there fighting still going on while CP, MM, and yuuki are talking? hopefully we can see what savunn and energize is up to next update. not saying that hoodoo, MM, CP, and yuuki weren't interesting, but since we haven't seen the others in a while that means that they probably are doing some pretty cool stuff.
That first panel shows exactly why Xmung is such a great artist.
The ability to shrink the main characters into the background while still keeping enough detail that they're recognizable, and still managing to have a fully realized background environment.
Those are the marks of a pro.
That's quite a handshake in that center panel. Yuuki squeezes Captain Perfect's hand just a little too hard and brings him to his knees. Valkyries are strong, ya know.
@Erk: don't forget Fusion and Energize stuck out there in space... I don't know how they fet into your D&D scenario though...
@algeya: a good plan, but it's already been established the tech is too advanced even for MM to easily commandeer...
So the current party is a Paladin,(Captain Perfect) a Berserker, (Yuuki)
A Druid (Because Mindmistress Can dominate enemies) and a Wizard (Hoodoo)
At least in D&D terms.

Indeed, last two panels are a perfect end of xmungs pages!

My favorite is Captain Perfect's sly look at Mindmistress on the second to last panel---so confident and cocksure.

Whole page is great (as usual), but the expressions of everyone in the last 2 panels are perfect.

Gah, forgot to rate

Hmm, sorcerers maybe? After all, they use innate magic, not studied magic. Of course, that's going by a very loose definition of 'magic'.

Suki still looks like she wants to bite Perfect in that last panel.
