Description “What on earth were you looking at that made you tear up, Father??”
”The most... beautiful.... stain glass windows I have ever seen.”

Sorry about the last panel. I spent WAY longer on this than intended. It was supposed to be one of those cool coloured rough sketches and turned full-out. I was tired and needed to finish it already. If you don’t like it, just cover it with your hand and the comic works just fine. 

In all the years of Martin’s life, Uriel never once saw his son a second time? Surely not. 
I wanted to make a connection to Martin’s half brothers too, so I gave him a family. There is no way the next in line to the empire would not have kids by his thirties. It’s kind of his duty. But ja. His design is based off of the official etching of young Uriel which looks a lot like Martin. Drawing that physical resemblance between Martin and his happy older brother also is supposed to show what Martin might have been in a fair world. Instead, he’s a messed up young man trying to pull his life together with no real family. 

Trying not to make the religion just a catholic clone. I was going to have Martin holding some chalice or bowel of water, but I thought, “Akatosh is a dragon god. Wouldn’t it be cool if they were holding bowels of fire instead?” More exotic.

Man I'm so upset I haven't seen your stuff sooner. I always wanted to see more content of Martin so I wish I had found this when I was deeper into my Oblivion phase!

Those last two panels are humorous, "Oh shit, he saw me looking in his direction, he must think I'm weird or something."  I know the experience all too well, Martin.  It's quite interesting to look at some of the some of the liberties(that may not be the right word for this) with making a sort of uniform robes for the chapel priests with the Akatosh amulets from Skyrim.  Also, plus points for emphasizing the Italian inspirations with the Imperials from the general look to the clothes style.

Thanks for noticing the italian inspiration! I was pretty proud of Martin’s haircut as I was trying to give him a sort of demure, clean-cut altar boy look, but I also wanted to make it look a little more exotic to fit the religion.

"Father? Are you all right?" - the expressions in the final panel are priceless. I like the details in this piece.

The faces are so good. Well, everything is good, but I really like the expressions. Young Martin is so cute.

Cute in what way? Hot or sweet?

More like sweet, like if you were referring to a child or something.
