Redrawing a page

Here’s the first page of PFS, which I wasn’t very happy about:

So yesterday I redrew the whole thing. Removed more than half of the characters, tightened the whole thing up. Started inking it tonight:

Time to make a sandwich, so will finish it and the final missing page…tomorrow maybe. (Photos taken with webcam, so they are kind of awful.)

PFS: Say You Want to Revel in Loot, Son.

Today I pencilled, inked, scanned and colored 3 pages of this 6 page PFS Prologue I have been working on. I say working on, but really I’ve only finished 2 other pages. And one of those I hate, and will be redrawing. But here are the 4 that are done and I am happy with. 2 more to go, then we jump into the actual story.

The title, “Say you want to revel in loot, son” is one possible way to misunderstand the Beatles lyric “Say you want a revolution”. It’s also the title of the first collection of Invisibles comics. Both of those things are really good. So, I figure this comic can be as good as those things are when/if you misunderstand them.

These pages aren’t necessarily in order, so don’t try and read them as if they were. Just LOOK.

Roman helmets

I love looking at armor and weaponry, especially when thinking about PFS. Here’s a couple of cool roman helmets snagged from ffffound who snagged them from Chintz of Darkness, whatever that is.

PFS

First page of this PFS project. I have about 20 written. I probably won’t post them all here until it’s finished. But I needed at least 1 post this week.

PFS Gnomes

Thought that it might be time to look at some gnomish common folk. Some non-adventurer, non-scholar, regular ol’ people. Maybe he’s a shop keep? Or just your neighbor? I dunno.

PFS Gnomes

This one started as a male Rogue-type character, and then I thought, what if he had a mask used for intimidation? And what if also there was a THING floating over and slightly behind his head, just because my hand realllllly wants to draw that right now?

PFS Gnomes

Female Rogue-type. As in stealing things and being sneaky Rogue-type, not randomly generated maps and monsters that will likely kill you in 2 rounds of combat Rogue-like.

PFS Gnomes

Another armored-yet-mobile gnome.

PFS Gnomes

Similar idea, a wanderer-gnome that is armored. In my photoshop file of all the gnomes, this and the last one are labeled “Waste Walkers” but, I don’t think the “over world” area will be all wastes. Just the elvish empire, which lies in ruin.
