Now, I have quite a lot to say about this one. Originally, I'd planned for Taark to appear in ABR before his debut in Search, but I had not expected ABR to slow down so suddenly. But hey, what can you do?

Also, I nearly made a stupid error as I was usingmy ABR template therefore nearly posted this comic with Kal wearing a purple cape. Crisis averted though.

Also, what you do think, is my new art style an upgrade, or a downgrade? I was kind of forced into it.

Oh, and I just can't get the kneeling pose right!

I know. But you know, big trees exist.

Thanks by the way.

The type of thing I have to put up wth on a regular basis thanks to me having chosen a feminine-looking male as my avatar.

I'm not joking either

Oh, on a side note, I'm making up for lost time. I planned to be further ahead than comic 14 by now.

I'm supposed to be catching up dammit. Luckily, I'm able to avoid this Writer's Block that I have for Search 'cuz I've already planned ahead the story and stuff. Now If I could just rite for my SMBG all would work out well......

Also, the last panel here? I hate it. Hate it. Wouldyou believe I spent nearly an hour on that last panel? Well, no, because it's crap.

There isn't that much off with the last panel. Of note are the motion lines around the wheels and the horse's massively undersized head (Or oversized body). If you lost the motion lines on the wheels and fixed the horse it would be fine.

It's a pretty good comic overall

If the horse's body was thinner, it might look a little better.

Humm, I thought it might be that. Thanks guys.

EDIT: Tweaked version is up. Still not happy with it though.

Actually, clearing the cache might be a better.

And yes, it does look better, but animals are always going to look a little funny in this style.

Cheap, yes. But you don't want to end up overspending.

Interestingly enough, this is actually the first time I've drawn non-Medium sized humanoids. Yes, it's taken me over a year. ...Don't ask why.

Certainly this'll be intriguing to read, why was the spellcaster invisible, for example?

So, looking at some of my previous pages, I realised something. Sometimes, my panels are far TOO big and I end up with a comic that does almost nothing plot-related. So, for page 19, the layout got a serious redesign. I'm happier now with the layout.

And, two new named characters make their debut here.

Oh yes, and this comic took me one helluva long time to make, and it's mostly dialogue. Seriously, how I'm gonna manage to find time for the more action-y stuff I don't know.

Lying, don't begin a sentence with the verb form of "lying" ever again. My brain can't handle it.

Your name is Calamity ("Kal"), telling the paladin that may not be the best start to a conversation.
