Description

An entry featuring two veterans of the great war, my Roaring Arcanine Adrohai Arnsgail and *Silver5 's Mortimer 'Spearow-Eyed' Tyler Two veterans from the great war who've fought alongside each other a few times with knives,guns, rifles and swords who have know come back to a different war using magical animal critters known as pokemon. I like to believe the two legendary soldiers managed to meet up a few times during the great war, and became acquaintances, or maybe even friends.

This is basically a big love letter to the awesomeness that is Mortimer Tyler. I plan to do more of these comics for other veterans in the army, such as Gustav Ghir and JAmes Archibald. But i also wanted to show Adrohai's caring side as well as a living witness to validate Adrohai's bold claims of charging straight on into enemy lines. LIKE A BAWS!!!

I imagined their relationship with each other would be a very friendly rivalry kind of bromance, where one would try to one up the other with some good ol' fashion banter and harmless jokes. So they didn't mean the harsh words they said in the comic, they both GENUINELY DO RESPECT EACH OTHER, as soldiers and as friends.

Anyway, gotta get started on round 2 now. Expect a rallying speech from the Roaring Arcanine!!

Also cameo lovings!! Y'all know you are.

Your style has so much character and really compliments Adrohai's personality - rugged and bold. I really like how you used strong lines on the panels you really wanted to convey a lot of mood. SKDHGNVF Adrohai is amazing and ewgsfkcv I love his personality. I just cannot convey everything I want to say coherently, so please interpret those little moments of keyboard mashing to your liking. ;u;

Aww, I didn't really know Adrohai was really that caring. He really cares about others! Usually veterans are portrayed as aged-men who complain about the next generation. I also love how you told the comic, btw :]

Every time I see the Arcanine, I think he's Big Boss from Metal Gear Solid. It is not a bad thing.

Andrimnir In reply to Noedig [2012-04-07 13:17:44 +0000 UTC]

Not a bad thing at all!! Big boss was a major influence on Adrohai, but I also was inspired by Foghorn Leghorn for Adrohai's accent and mannerisms (kinda). ^_^

I look forward to round 2. ^ ^ Love the style, the shading-- how do you do that shading, anyways?

Andrimnir In reply to YuriaThames [2012-04-07 14:54:01 +0000 UTC]

The Lasso tool and the gradient tool (and photoshop) are my best friends when it comes to shading my comics

Oh man this is so fantastic! Adrohai, you grizzled old charmer you. You and your war stories, I love them all :'D I love how your style is so distinctive without making everyone look the same, and my god those old man faces. I love them. So much <3

It is an honour to be in the same regiment as the Roaring Arcanine, that is certain! *salutes*

What a great read!
I adore your attention to detail and how you manage to bring out all these little things in design or facial expressions despite the pretty rough pencil strokes/crosshatching.
I also love the lil' story and how you handled its' execution. Very good pacing! A-and the transition in Adrohai and Mortimer's expressions until they start laughing is done so well, aaaaah, you can certainly catch some subtle emotions in your style-!
I can't wait to see your comic round entries, if they will be executed with similar care as these spectator comics we're in for a real treat. <3

Thanks so much for the comments! I'm really glad you enjoyed it, and yes plenty more awesomeness to come.

Also can't wait to see what you have in stored for round 2 with some Chase-capades haha, gotta admire a soldier who can play the violin like a boss

That's the thing i like about pokemon oct's like IPL or PCBC, you get people who can create such creatively awesome stuff especially when you compare it to the tv show.

Andrimnir In reply to DSJake [2012-04-07 12:18:00 +0000 UTC]

Hahaha I know what you mean dude, sometimes i find a lot of comics (especially frank miller comics) they do tend to prattle on and on with the dialogue, feels like reading a book with some pictures instead of an actual comic book.

a lot of comic writers try it but is not very often the dialogue is actually so natural and enjoyable to read
