Warning! Image Intensive!

Sex: No- MALE
Class: Wizard (Necromancy)
Alignment: LE?
Bio: His Mother died while he was at the tender age of 48, He went in to Necromancy to try to bring her back, but, realizing it was futile, continued to study Necromancy. He found, after his dad died, in a small box in his dad's office, A necklace with some draconic text written on it, and wanted to fulfill his father's legacy. It is unknown if he is in any relationships currently, but doubted due to his obsession with death.

Skit Uls

Age: 101
Sex: Male
Class: Rogue
Alignment: None of our business
Bio: He was an old friend of Malde's, and he knew Malde's father. When he heard about Malde(He sometimes calls him 'Mal')'s quest, he just couldn't resist. He has gotten in trouble many times by the PeaceKeepers(Police), and has been sent multiple times to 'Watched House Arrest'(At Malde's house). He has stayed with Malde ever since, for no reason he admits. If it's due to lack of anywhere else to go, or to the way he sees Malde.(Maybe as a father figure?)
He still Keeps with him, no matter what.
-----------
Kelin ShadowBow

Age: 20
Sex: Male
Alignment: CG
Class: Ranger
Bio: He was a farmer's son, and was bored with his life. every day, it was, work, work, eat, more work. Finally, he broke the cycle by taking occasional trips into the woods to hunt, and just to shoot. After 'Bowing-and-Arrowing' for a few years, he finally left, simply promising that he would someday return to finish his duties. To this day, he has yet to fulfill his promise, only due to the fact that he thinks there are greater things out there than farming.
-----------

Age:31
Sex: Female
Alignment:NG
Class: Fighter/Barbarian
Bio: Quill lived in the small town that Malde did. She didn't really have a family, so she would just go place to place, with no real sense in life. After an "Encounter" with Malde, she started rethinking her life. She then began disciplining herself, hoping it would make her that much better. She will often go weeks without talking, and won't give a reason. Some say it's to prove her discipline to herself, but no one really knows why.

Cool! I'll be following this.

Okay let'S start with the art:
I think a little more variety in the expressions would be useful, also if you just moved the eyes of each character a little more in the direction they are facing it would stop looking like they are constantly staring at the viewer.

And last but not least the bad guy's tattoo is absolutely out of place.


As for storytelling: It would improve if the characters were talking a little more. Something that makes you realize why they are walking around and where they are going or even just some small-talk that let's you get to know them better.

[chef781]

Alright, Thanks, guys, I will make note.

I look forward to all opinions!

[Mad Mask]

Here's a little honest criticism:

In my opinion, this comic has nothing that sets it apart from the thousand OotS clones in the fan comic subforum. A story about a bunch of guys killing things in a D&D game world is something that is absolutely overdone. What I suggest to you is invent a decent plot and try, minimise the D&D references and make the character something other than race and class.

Haha, Noted. I do have a very large plot ready, but even for the first 30-or-so strips of OoTS, they didn't have much Character, and NO plot. But, yeah, Comic 4 will add a bit of mystery to the strip.

But they were original way back then, that's the difference.

point. Sell, I'm still working. So, It'll be a bit faster. I was looking back at Failing Saves. They didn't really have very much plot either, Although they did have more. Well, just be patient.
