Description
This is page 4 of my 12 page submission to a fantasy anthology. I realize this is kind of a spoiler, but this is also a low quality internet jpeg, so if it gets published it's still worth buying to see the art in the 'flesh' as well as all the other awesome stories in it. Here we go back to the flashback that is most of the rest of the story. This follows a "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" approach of making the whole story about a story someone else is telling (thus why I call this "Stori")and in case you don't go to page 1 for whatever reason (which is silly you should want to view the whole story), "Stori" is story in Welsh.

Man, your inking has improved by leaps and bounds. Good line weights, spotting of blacks...these pages look really cohesive. I love the top half of the page; it has a great balance between blacks, white, and texture. Are you still using a brush for everything?
The only thing is the text/word balloons looks a little small, particularly if this ends up getting shrunk down for printing. It might not hurt to size them up by about a step-and-a-half, given the amount of background space you have to work with.
Otherwise, nice stuff. Looking forward to seeing the rest of it.

Yup still mostly brush, but I did rush a little bit and used more micron then I tend too.

It's looking very nice. I envy your ability with layout and background designs. Each of your backgrounds is excellent with perspective and the characters placement in the foreground and background is very pleasing as well. I can't find any faults so far.
Is the whole story going to be one flashback? Good idea. I would have lost patience trying to draw all the pages that part.

Yah it's an 8 page flashback which is told from a present time view and is bookended by the actual present.

As usual you have set up something begging for more. Can't wait to see the next installments.

The storytelling is wonderful in here. I love the simplicity yet well-thought-out detail of your style. Reminds me of Pia Guerra.
You ever feel like writing from someone's script, let me know. I work for a studio called Enemy One and have four books and various short stories for anthologies in different stages of production right now.
