Default Of Books and Barbarians

An OotS-styled comic about a not-so standard orc and her adventures across a fantasy land that has many traits we fantasy fans may find familiar. Join us while we follow the adventures of Kagra as she is wrapped up in things that no amount of reading can truly prepare her for.

This story is not written with any game-system in mind.

Currently has a random and irregular update schedule.

Very very nice. And you are able to pull of the high detail/high quality OotS art as well. Lots of detail drawn on your characters, with differing design choices, while still being able to tell what they are wearing.

Keep this up.

Thanks!

I'm a few comics ahead at this point and one or two of them are not quite as good looking as I'd like, but hopefully I can come into my own with this. It's been a looooong time since I've used the OotS style seriously.

I'm surprised to see you actually doing something in a Oots style, Bright. I don't normally read fan comics, but I suppose I'll have to keep an eye on this.

You're handing over a book that should never be opened. To a librarian. Who has just finished admitting she wants to read it.

I just found the idiot ball i lost last week.

Just looked at #3 again, minor nitpick - if Kagra is shouting too, should maybe an "Aaahh!" or something be in there, perhaps in small letters?
My friends and I can't wait to see how this goes.

Makes sense. That would explain why teddy bear had the 'x' as its eyes.

Nice art, by the way. And oh, you elves. Ever the jerks.

Lucky it wasn't bitten off, Kagra.

...Also, am I the first person who thought "Y'know, she should tape a wire into that and use it to power a reading light with clean green energy that's also necromantic purple energy?"

At least the guy with the hood wasn't daft enough to give her the key to that lock, though we kinda believed he was, in a way...

@Doorhandle: you're probably alone in that thought, but being first is what separated the genius from the inspired

Anyway,I used to do that with my first cursed artifact, the wizard identifying it, however, said "Glarkinzooks!!!" or something... funny how dumb it is that at LV.17 party like us still has it's magic magic item identification at the mercy of a lv.3 mage guild clerk...
I assume there are many more exclamations like that to come(like dooooooooooooooom and egads?)

This disjunction should be empowerd, enlarged, maximized, and casted by ten 20 level wizards who trained their whole lives for that task.

*i think, can darklord bright tell us more?*
