Description I believe Anora would scratch your eyes out if given the chance.

For anyone interested in the rendering process, some notes about background panels 1 and 3.

I've been practicing speed painting in the past few pages and I think I've gotten the hang of it with this page. However, I'm not pleased with the colors as they seem very muddy to me. First I used the polygon lasso tool and paintbucket to block out shapes using dark hues. I then used a default photoshop brush to paint in light. A custom texture brush was used to sketch in highlights. Panel 1 = 45mins. Panel 3 = 30mins.

Howe's lucky Anora wasn't near her weapons. Apparently, Loghain taught his little girl how to use a dagger and a bow.

Stunning stunning stunning The way you welded the comic from black and white, semi realism to a nice coloured semi cartoon is just flawless. I am in love with this comic!

* chews nails to nubbins, waiting for the next page*

I have to say, your skill as both an artist, and a storyteller, have me absolutely in awe! You bring the characters to life in such a touchable, endearing way. It's obvious, the amount of love you pour into these pages, it's positively humbling, to a sorry little scribbler, such as myself! You're an inspiration! Bravo, m'dear!

You know after seeing this I now see Anora in a different light. Before she was a bit of the calculated detached collected sort of women, now I see bitch has claws too. I love it!!

Oh, ya. If you tackle Anora, you better bring a gang...

Love the way the rays stream in through the windows. Rather lovely.

And the little icicles (?) on the dialogue balloon when Anora "greets" her captor are just perfect.



Now I'm off to wrap presents!

O_O I'm slowly growing on Anora, I hated her while playing us over as she screwed me over but on my second playthrough on my Tabris I made her Queen. But your Anora is a badass. I like it!!

WolvesCurse [2010-12-23 20:24:40 +0000 UTC]

IDK about her clawing somones eyes out. I see her as the type to get others to do her dirty work. I do like the way you drew her though her dress looks more "royal" than the one she wears in the game.

JessieHeart [2010-12-23 20:12:02 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, Anora would probably claw your eyes out, then promptly wipe her hands and return to teatime. XD

Loving Anora's design, just like everyone else! Everyone in this comic is just beautiful!

ItalianEmpress1985 [2010-12-23 14:02:32 +0000 UTC]

Wow, that was quick, already had this one sketched out I take it? I figured there wouldn't be another until after Christmas. Not that I'm complaining.

LOVE the ceiling you gave the royal hall. I remember those cathedral 'pocket' ceilings being in the count's castles throughout Cyrodiil, in the game Oblivion, and when I went about writing some Dragon Age fic I knew the royal palace HAD to have such a ceiling somewhere (meaning I just really wanted it to ). So I'm super thrilled to see it in a comic.

Anora won't be taken without a fight, I love that, and I think it's very in character too. Also loving her last speech bubble, and how you gave it a dripping effect, like acid, as I'm sure that man's name on her tongue just then was VERY acidic.

Great work once again, and though I said it before, Happy Holidays!

Thanks. I'm hoping to sneak another page in before X'mas. Maybe I can if I'm extra industrious tonight. But y'know, the holidays just makes me want to laze about and eat. D

Happy Holidays to you too!
