Verisimilitude: A D&D webcomic in OotS style

[Panabelle]

It appears that the males are talking about weaponry, while the females are talking about relevant information.
Interesting strip.

Well, it's plenty relevant if you're trying to kill things!

[The Neoclassic]

I sincerely apologize for not sticking to my update schedule. More exams and a lack of creativity have led to me being terrible about getting them done. Luckily, I am still working slowly but surely on the comics and do have a new one. It's one of my favorites so far; I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do!

The barbarian is using the logic of cupcakes to guide him. Quite funny indeed.

[Szilard]

Awesome. .

[Panabelle]

Bwahahaha, I love the halfway punchline! You're getting much better with setting up the humor in these.

Just noticed something, your FeMale (Male with Fe element shield) could also be translated as Iron Man

That's probably the entire point.

[The Neoclassic]

I'm glad that you enjoyed the last comic. Positive feedback is always appreciated and keeps me going!

So, another update!

(Also sorry if this ends up posting twice, my internets are being dumb)

[Victor Thorian]

I like it. Really.
Also, I like cupcakes.

Keep up the good work :]

[The Neoclassic]

Keep up the good work :]

I will do my utmost to achieve this!

Heck, I'm even churning out the updates this week!

Hey look! A statue!

[The Neoclassic]

A statue indeed! I wonder what that means...

Updating is somewhat of a chore, but I find that I feel that way about the actual work part of all creative projects. Coming up with ideas and getting started is extremely fun, but actually sticking with it and putting in the time to keep working, even on the tedious stuff, is very hard for me. That said, I have several friends who are enjoying my webcomic and it seems to have a few fans here, so after I get each one done, I feel a real sense of accomplishment which makes up for all of the sometimes boring work that goes into the comic.

Enough about my creative process! Next comic!\

This is my first attempt at drawing anything battle-related, so constructive criticism is particularly welcome on this!

[Szilard]

I wouldn't spend too much panels on a flying Arrow, otherwise, all is good.

[Assassin89]

Interesting use of a gorgon's effect

[CrimsonAngel]

Oh no! The blonde guy whos name escapes me!

[Tiffanie Lirle]

Well the gorgon/bull thing doesn't actually seem to move. Ever. It's always in that same pose. Also 3 panels, even if they are small, is a bit much for one arrow.

Also, the mouths again. The last 2 panels, blond guy. If I could make a suggestion? That line on the mouth, on the top right part of it. Try to position that so it's directly between his eyes.


A rough example there, but note that this does not apply in all cases. Because the head detail positioning is also dependent on the individuals personal drawing style. But generally you don't want the details on the other side of the head.

I moved the legs a bit, but I entirely see what you mean upon looking over it again. In retrospect, I should've chosen a monster that was easier to draw dynamically for my first battle scene, but in future comics I'll work to make much clearer, more defined movement!

Also 3 panels, even if they are small, is a bit much for one arrow.

I also agree, in retrospect. I did have fun experimenting with chopping up the panels differently though! I'll just have to put that formatting to more interesting use next time.

This will actually be really helpful. Drawing mouths is one of the more difficult details for me, so I think lining it up as such will help a lot. Thanks!

@ CrimsonAngel: The blond one is Adonis.

[Victor Thorian]

This is going well.
Heh, heh.

I know how it feels when you don't do art for yourself, and rather do it for the masses that follow. It starts to feel a lot like a full-time job. You just go on and on until you can't do it anymore, then take a break.

And start over because people forgot about you :]

Dern + butterfly = adorableness incarnate.

I know, right? ^_^

I may just have a favorite character already.

Precisely.

I don't know if anyone else is familiar with Drunk Duck, but I keep my comic up there too just so I have an easy way to share it with some of my other friends... Anyway, this past week, I've been getting 100+ pageviews a day. I've no idea how, but it's kinda nifty, considering up until then I was averaging 20-30 a day.

Also, if anyone is an avid fan and is interested enough, I have a twitter where I will also be posting updates about the comic and other random stuff and also a facebook page for the comic itself where I will occasionally post additional artwork and updates.

Anyway, don't feel obliged or anything, I appreciate all the fantastic feedback here and will do my utmost to get a new comic out to you by the end of the week!

[Lunaya]

*raspberries* I can like other webcomics without being unfaithful.

I am not giving up my Failing Saves banner until Undertaker himself tells me it's dead. So there.

New comic: Now with a gorgon that actually moves!

Looks like Adonis is useless to the group and likely to cause trouble.

[Lyinginbedmon]

No, looks like Adonis is a Rogue.

He could still be useful.

Panel 6-7: Are those entrails spilling out of the gorgon's belly? Nicely gruesome touch!
