Description Well, this isn't going to get any better from this, so might just as well squeeze it out... backgrounds with nothing in them, why you so hard?!

Anyway, this was gently touched upon in Artslam too, the plains where a really large battle took place, which ended up filling the place with blood and gore, creating a fairly meaty looking haunted swamp where the victims of the battle haunt in the muck. Also the place stinks.

I love that guy's expression But wouldn't this have been eaten by scavengers overtime?

I don't think people in this world are desperate enough to eat haunted rotting meat, especially after what happened to those who first tried...

Oh, I know no human would, but what I meant by scavengers were vultures and coyotes. Animals of that sort. Would they be able to sense that something was wrong with it? And if they did end up consuming it, what would happen?

Well, the world of the comic is based on Northern Europe, so there's no vultures or coyotes; overall most animals would sense it's not something to eat, and if they would eat it, they'd probably die, or get sick and die.

Ah, I see

...Do they reanimate after because of the haunted-ness?

No, they just die. If they were to experience some great injustice or such, then they might become ghosts or if they were cursed they'd become zombies or such.

XD I bet it DOES stink, holy crap. Amazing work. I wouldn't even know how to start painting something like this, but damn did you nail it.

Well, it all starts from a sketch too... then I just flail around until something presentable drops out. I don't think I originally even wanted to paint this, it was supposed to be completely line-art, which caused some problems in the way, and are the reason why the guys still have line-art in them.

And here I thought that was a deliberate artistic choice XD

So you're absolutely sure you haven't touched Demon's/Dark Souls?
Because this is giving me some very similar vibes.

I sweaaaar! I've only watched Yahtzee's review and Angry Joe's play clip.

We really should fix that.
Wanna borrow mine?
They're great fun and I'm sure you would find at least some form of inspiration from there.

Well, I'll have to see. I should first find the cord to my controller, it's been lost for months and it's either on the floor under the piles of books or at my friend. I should find it before Christmas though, otherwise playing Skyrim might be bit hard...

Well if you feel up for it, we could arrange a meeting some day. I should be in Helsinki around the weekend / some time next week for some christmas shopping at least. I think I have a spare cable somewhere too if that helps
Here's hoping they patch the PS3 version of Skyrim by christmas though. I hear it's buggy.

Oh wow, this is amazing. I love the background; though your comments say you struggled with it, no one would know, because you pulled it off flawlessly. Well done.
