Dragon: an OotS-Style Webcomic

[Oregano]

Nice, I'm looking forward to it, I must say aswell Phase I love the design for the dragon, especially the front leg/wing things, can it actually fly or are they vestigial? I don't know too much about biology or animals.

[Phase]

Yes, the brown Wyvern can fly. It may just be a while until you see it, as... well... he doesn't yet know he's a dragon. And so you know, there are two seperate evolutionary branches for wyvens:

• Rigid Back: With an elongated, but very rigid tail and back, these aare much less manuverable in the air, though much faster, than their flexible cousins. They are generally medium sized speices, and have very powerful wings. Compared to other dragons, these are the most endangered, though through natural means such as being out-competed for food. Examples include: Brown Wyvern, Dwarf Red Wyvern, Blue Wyvern.
• Flxible Back: These Wyverns are generally either small or very large and make up the majority of wyverns. They generally live higher up on sheer faces, as this gives them a safe spot from both humans and other predators. Their more limber movment allows them to access more areas unreachable by their rigid cousins. Examples include: Dwarf Blue Wyvern, Spotted Wyvern, Golden Wyvern.

[Oregano]

Nice, it's obvious you've put a lot of work into this and it looks like it'll pay off, so I assume we'll see more than just the Brown Wyvern in the story?

[Phase]

Eventually. I'm aiming to have European dragons factor in at some point. But only Jerry will be a recurring (dragon) character. I actually have the mini-arcs set up for a while.

[Beholder1995]

This is great. Is the dragon.... talking?

[Oregano]

It's Jerry in the dragon's body..I think, Jerry was the mage guy.

[Phase]

Yes, Jerry was the mage. Everything will be explained next issue later this week. I'm working through making more really quickly!

[Oregano]

Good, if everything's this high quality and we get two updates a week, I'll be a very happy bunny, and with the whole Jerry thing it's a kind of Freaky Friday type thing isn't it?

[Phase]

Pretty much. It gets a bit more complicated later.

Anyway, new banner:

Heh heh. Nice.

[Beholder1995]

Wait a second! If Jerry is inside the dragon, then what is Dan next to?

[Lyinginbedmon]

Wait a second! If Jerry is inside the dragon, then what is Dan next to?

Someone without razor sharp incisors or superior physical strength

[Phase]

Nope. Jerry's body is in a catatonic state. The spell messed with those involved. Jerry's conciousness fit well in the brain of the dragon, give or take a magicoral campus or two. The extra senses and feelings, as well as the other intricacies of the human mind, overstimulated the dragon. It's quite sad, now that I think about it...

[Oregano]

Poor thing, I hope everything works out okay for the two. That sounds so pathetic considering they're fictional. It just shows you can write sympathetic character Phase.

[Phase]

Yeah...

Y'know, I had what happned to pretty much everything in the comic mapped out for a while, but now I need to think of what happens to the dragon's mind...

Got it. Can't say though, spoiler.

[Wreckingrocc]

I like how the moon is you :P

[Phase]

I feel really good about the work I did today in animating the first battle. So, in honor of my happy, I present a special update!

This raises the age old question, Somebody has done it. You are in a room with a wizard and a butler, which one did it.

[memnarch]

That would be the wizard! .....No wait.... The Butler! .....crap..... Was it the wizard? or the butler?......

It's a wizard butler, so yes.

[Oregano]

Nice, loved "the Wizard did it" joke, I wonder what crazy adventures they'll go on together.

[banjo1985]

Very nice again, I'd quite like to see what a dragon would do in a human body though

[Hoplite]

I quite like the feel of the comic, the best start ever. But I am not sure if the firs comic fits in.

[Beholder1995]

He has a point. Couldn't you have just started it at #2? Why stick in the whole bit about it being a Hobo's story?

[Uncle Festy]

He has a point. Couldn't you have just started it at #2? Why stick in the whole bit about it being a Hobo's story?

Ya know, I was never really clear on that myself.

[Oregano]

It could be for a number of reasons, it could be like the Princess Bride with interruptions or it could be a true story and the hobo's a unreliable narrator(or even the dragon in jerry's body... haha I doubt it, would be awesome though).

[Phase]

Yup, like the Princess Bride! Interuptions ahoy!

[Dallas-Dakota]

I like it.
Btw, very nice at giving yourself a cameo on page 5 and 6.

[Phase]

Okay! Next comic!

Well, Jerry will be a pretty good dragon it seems.

[Nychta]

It's great, Phase, and I will be following it.
