I decided a four page update wasn’t enough so today you get a seven page update. Enjoy 😀
Okay, okay, so it’s a lot of empty space and all in pencil, so that’s not quite the same thing. See, the “it was all a dream” thing that a lot of stories pull is actually a really big pet peeve of mine, so in presenting this dream sequence, I wanted to make sure that the fact that it was a dream was obvious. Hence, doing it all in pencil with few borders and presenting the entire thing at once so there are no cliffhangers.
…all I’ve really learned from this is that there are a few things I’m really not very good at drawing. I recorded myself drawing a bit of this, though. Page two specifically, which is why that one came out a bit sloppy since I had to adjust for the camera (I actually touched that one up a bit in photoshop after the fact). But if you’re interested, you can see it here.
Thanks for reading! I have no more multiple page updates planned for a while (though I wouldn’t b surprised to see more two-page ones pop up from time to time, just none planned at the moment) but the chapter proper will start next week.
It’s not surprising Nareth would have nightmares over this. Especially considering he has very little rest since finally getting his body bad. A good prelude update I say! Help’s establish that despite having his body back Nareth still has quite a few scars from this ordeal, some of which are still rather fresh and painful.
Yeah, it’s not as simple as dusting your hands off and moving on, I’m afraid. 🙁
Aw, poor dude. I can understand having nightmares after all he’s been through. I wonder if this means that whatshisface isn’t actually dead, or if it’s all in Nareth’s head? Either way, dude has probably got some trauma issues. I hope the elves know a good therapist. This was also a good way of addressing any reader feelings about whether or not the Tren/Nareth problem was solved “too easily”.
Excited to see what happens next! With the whole Tren/Nareth thing apparently out of the way, I’m looking forward to seeing what turn the story takes. Good luck!
Yeah, I think everything’s really taking its toll on him. Whether it’s a warning, a premonition, or just a reflection of mental damage sustained, he’s not having a good time.
“I hope the elves know a good therapist.”
Haha, I wonder if Agneris has even noticed that anything’s wrong. 😀
wow, what a nightmare!! O.o and I have to say, I love the dream sequence in pencil, nice effect
Thanks! It was kind of fun to do this in a different medium and see what effect that had on the finished piece!
…but yeah, I don’t think he’s doing much better mentally than he is on any other level.
wait a sec. this isn’t digital drawing, this is scanned paper work! It’s beatiful!
Thank you! It was a lot of work, but I had fun doing it. I’m glad you enjoyed! 😀
