Description While Salvatican Army Commanders are charged with seeing The General's orders on a battlefield are carried out, it's often the Officers jobs to actually issue those orders to the sergeants and soldiers of the field. Officers are likely to be the highest ranking army officials you'll find on an actual battlefield under most circumstances. Despite this, they carryer swords a just a shade under the oversized proportions of field Commanders, their pride too great to take up on a normal sized weapon given their ranks. And while Officers do take to the battlefield themselves, it's still a somewhat rare occurence, the most documented of which was during the failed invasion of Bull Head, where it was every man for himself out on the frozen tundra. Some Officers opt to carry firearms rather than swords, but due to the severe restrictions placed on firearms in Salvatica, it's difficult to maintain such a weapon, and keep a steady supply of ammunition.

i can find no flaw with this one, and it still looks like something that KOTOR would have used. always a good thing to see in something that has nothing to do with it. that merely means that your skills match those of a game designer.

Before this all made the move to graphic novel, it was a pet dream to make it into a video game.. So, I grin everytime someone suggests it looks video gameish.

ah...i see. if you had the time (and possibly the money to do so), this would all make a great game. keep up the good work.

Time's not an issue, but money is I'm afraid, as video game budgets aren't very far behind movie ones these days. But that's console gaming, PC gaming opens up a few more opportunities. Thanks for the comment, and I'm glad to see Sparky is doing better already.

aye..and a PC game would be easier to manage then a console game, since you dont have to worry about having to deal with a lot of garbage trying to get it to work on one of them.

I like his feet--I can never pull off boots like that.

It's about time someone mentioned the footwear. The artists came up with some neat boots and shoes for everyone in The Black Paw series so far.
btw, where in the world is requisite page 10?

OHMYGOSH YOU READ IT?!

Ahaha, now I feel really dumb and lazy. I'm working on the sketches right now, and that's the part that takes the longest, so maybe... I dunno. I'm terrible at making deadlines, even nonexistent ones.

Yeah, I did. Been kind of wondering what will be the explanation behind the re-appearance of Luka. Thought she was dead from the first few pages then the last one made it not so obvious.

His clothes looc very cool... he has a very determined and pride expression.

Interesting uniform for this guy. Interesting sword for him too, not too unwieldy, looks kind of like a Falchion.

Thanks, glad you like it. Have you noticed the color coding yet? It doesn't get mentioned until the bio for the sergeant.

You're Welcome. Umm, no, can't say I've noticed a pattern yet, just differences. I guess I'll have to wait and see.

On the right track anyway, as therein lays the pattern; in the differences.
