Discounting the background pages we should be at around 100 pages. A couple of panels were discarded and the dialogue condensed so what was two pages ends up on one.
I will probably continue to use the map transition to give a sense of geography to the whole thing. Game of Thrones does something similar with the opening credits as usually only places actually appearing in an episode are shown so over time it gives you an idea of the lay of the land. But as I've said before this was done back in 2008 so it predates Game of Thrones and before the show, the novels were considered a tiresome read and I never found time for them.
In this thread I mention doing the hair of various characters. Falkimir and Severnus both have sculpted hair. The John Wayne figure playing Falkimir got sideburns, mustache and imperial to look like Kirby Yorke from the movie Rio Grande. Severnus got hair extensions and a full beard. Halfdan, Hengist and Ivar all have sculpted facial hair as well. As I've said numerous times before; drawing this would be so much easier.
As far as keeping up with production, it's all a matter of scheduling and getting started always freaks me out. and I want to throw my hands up and run screaming out of the room. “Oh woe is me”
But that's the first step towards motivating myself. I bitch a lot. I bemoan my fate while the wheels inside the head are turning. You should have seen me in high school before an opening night. In art school at the turn of this century I actually skipped graduation because I heard my work was being displayed.
My work has always been behind the proverbial eight ball. As I have said before, some can do anything and be praised to the skies and have an audience form around the block. Nothing another may do, no matter how worthy will ever get the same attention. One could throw shit against a canvas and be hailed as a genius, another could create an entire multiverse on the head of a pin and not get a second glance.
Thank you, all you wonderful DDers for no second glance. ;) Just click “like” on your way through would you? And of course you realize with Lego Space back in production none of my stuff would even win “Best Photographic comic” if that category was revived. Whatever did happen to the DD awards? Volunteers– being the parent of a newborn is all consuming work – why doesn't' someone step forward to put it together?
As for the DD Awards, several of us have offered to step up and take the reins on that. I even volunteered to disqualify my comic to have the opportunity to run it. But from what I've heard, they're still planning to have the awards, but it's going to be late. I really don't know what all's going on there. Here I am, sitting twiddling my thumbs with nothing to do, and no one's contacted me about helping out. So I guess they have it all under control? I guess?
Btw Martin's 'Song of Ice and Fire' novels are absolutely one hundred percent NOT tiresome! I consider him the Stephen King of fantasy fiction, and he's an amazing writer. I'm too lazy to look into it, but I'd be shocked if his work weren't all but universally acclaimed by critics and readers alike, even before his work was translated into a super successful HBO project.
Kid chasing! Those are the things that make a page 'live'!! It would be nice to marry the most handsome powerful man in the realm! Oh but the strings...!! Time to march on!!

Congrats on the 100 pages! Hope those 'left behind' men aren't dead :(

Falkimir...dude...find a way NOT to marry that chick! You'll be dirt poor in under a year with her man!

Ever see Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew?

How late? January to coincide with the Academy Awards?

Outside of his short stories, I consider Stephen King a tiresome writer. :)

An army gets restless when you give them nothing to do. They need some villages to plunder.
bravo1102 at 1:42AM, Nov. 21, 2017
So it violently it's called plunder. Do it politely and in the king's name and it's called foraging.

100 is only the beginning.....

Five books just starting number two it'll be longer than Mask of the Aryans which topped 200 pages.

I like that shot of the mom chasing her kid

Pre-modern armies were a family affair.

The awards are stalled while they recount and recount the votes. None of the judges can believe your comic has won in all the nominated categories.
bravo1102 at 4:13AM, Nov. 21, 2017
Only if El Cid dropped out of the running. *But See his comment above *
plymayer at 12:06AM, Nov. 20, 2017
Congratulations on 100!
