The Two Brothers: A non-OotS style webcomic

[Beholder1995]

All below material (except where otherwise noted), including comics, characters, and maps is the creative property of Beholder1995.

Herein lies the tale of Philmoore and Frederick, two Teutonic Knights on a quest to find their lost brethren. I lack any computer art equipment of any kind, so these comics are ones that I've hand-drawn and scanned. I apologize for illegible and/or crude handwriting or any kind of mistakes or blemishes in the art. If there's a problem, or you have a comment, well- that's why there's a thread.

Updates are kind of sporadic... aiming for at least once a week... you can expect more due to their small sizes, but don't get your hopes up.

Guest Comics/Fan Art/Other random stuff (7)

Spoiler

This Guest Comic made by Oregano, during my stay in NYC.

Spoiler

Philmoore & Yo-Yo animation made by Tiffanie Lirle. Meh. She was bored.

Spoiler

I found this deep within the bowels of my Art Folder. This is essentially a primordial precursor to what would become The Two Brothers. It was originally intended to be a spoof of Age of Empires II (if you haven't played the game to a great extent, this comic will be utterly lost on you.) I made this one a while ago, but never followed up on it. Anyway, I thought I'd show it here. Behold!

Spoiler

Here are Fred and Phil's ancient ancestors, the Centurions Fredius and Philius!
(By me.)

Spoiler

Phase made this excellent OOTS-renditioning of TTB.

Spoiler

TTB Ninja!!! (Also by me)

Spoiler

Star Wars TTB! (Or Mandalorian TTB, whatever.)

Spoiler

Maps (1):

Spoiler

I finished my first ever map of the north half of the TTB world! It's pretty rough, though- just rivers, mountains, and a few major locations.

I like your art style, it's simple, but as Oots has proved simple can be a good thing. It's quite a nice change from all the Oots style comics popping up as of late as well.

So, is this going to be set in the "real world"? They are Teutonic knights after all. Or is gonna be set in a fantasy world of some sort?

Well, they are Teutonic Knights, but other than that, it will be in a world I designed. In my world, the Teutonic Knights have traditionally guarded the neck of land between the north and south halves of the map. While it will be in a fantasy world, there will be little or no magic, and thus this won't be D&D oriented. EDIT: Also, they will have generaly Germanic sounding names, whether I make them up or not.

Glad you liked it! I was really nervous there...

[Lyinginbedmon]

Yeah, I like it.

[Nameless]

This is looking really...really awesome.

[Oregano]

Love the art, is simple but gives the impression of greandeur, how much comedy can I expect from the comic, large amounts or every so often?

Well, I'll try to include at least one punchline per two comics. (The quality of the jokes is pending.)

Speaking of which, here's comic #2!

Spoiler

[Oregano]

Strong follow up and the comic looks good, the comedies awkward for the characters which is good but I wouldn't overuse it. One complaint though, the text is a bit cramped and stuff, are you doing it by hand?

Yeah, I'm doing it by hand. If it's an issue, I'll try to be neater.

[Oregano]

It's only a slight issue, if you find it hard to write so small you could add the text after you've scanned it(And it'd be a lot better quality text) but it's not an obligation, it's great quality as is.

[Szilard]

THis comic is awesome, and if this becomes big like anti-HEROS or Failing Saves, I'll know that I posted on the first page.

I was bored, so I made some banners, hope you like them ;)

Spoiler

Your comic looks very nice!

[Beholder1995]

Those are sweet! And heeeere's the new comic!
(The rest of the letter may or may not be here by tonight.)

Spoiler

EDIT: Actually, the last banner's probably my favortite, but an you change Philmoore's cape to blue, his cross to red, and his shirt & pants to white/light gray? Thanks so much.

Sure, is this better? I just picked some random colors the first time around ;)

Also, I like the new strip very much too, it's funny :)

edit:
I colored the other one too:

Spoiler

[Beholder1995]

Dude! Those are beautiful!

Also: The next comic's on it's way! I just have to scan it...

[Emperor Ing]

Ima follow this comic. Awesomeness meets superfrequent updating.

[Beholder1995]

Why thank you, Randomizer. Which reminds me- here's the new comic!
(Don't expect any more today, but you never know ....)

Spoiler

[Beholder1995]

Also- I'd like to put the banners up (and, of course I will), but how do you get them to link to this thread?

EDIT::: I think there's something wrong with the Castle banner- Philmoore's cape is green again.

I don't know. The direct links to the images are

• http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2.../brothers1.jpg
• http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2.../brothers2.jpg
• http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2.../brothers3.jpg
• http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2.../brothers4.jpg

If that's what you're looking for.

It's definately not, but since I replaced the old image with the new one, you might still have the old image cached. Try reloading the page (f5).

Also, promising sentence indeed, nice :)

(URL=InsertLinkHere)(IMG)InsertImageHere(/IMG)(/URL)
with [ ] instead of ( )

For example.

I like simple black and white comic's. I will have to add this to the (fictional) list of web-comics threads I frequent.

However, there is no way to identify which character is which. That could become confusing.

Don't worry. Soon Frederick and Philmoore will be the only Teutonic Knights in the comic, and you can tell them apart by height (Philmoore has a more elongated helmet.)

@Tiffanie: Thanks. Adding the banners!

@Han: Whoops. My bad.

[Han]

Since you seem to be messing with it, here you go, just quote & copy the code ;)

[Beholder1995]

Thanks! The banners are up!

EDIT: Though, I have to wonder- how'd you get 'The Two Brothers' in my handwriting on the banner?

[Beholder1995]

Very clever. And though I told you I wouldn't update anymore today, here it is anyway:

[Green-Shirt Q]

I wish this comic good luck. It certainly looks promising.

[Han]

Crossing a frozen desert of skulls, yeah, I can't think of any way that could go wrong :) So five nice comics in a day? Awesome!

Also, I made a minor change to that first banner, there was just a black rope with nothing on it, so I moved the yoyo up a bit. Because the yoyo rocks ;)

[Uncle Festy]

This = awesome.
Please continue.

[Echowinds]

I like this. Do keep it up.

Each individual strips are rather short though. Nothing wrong with that, but it might be a little hard to manage on a forum if it manages to accumulate a sizable amount of strips.
