I will be updating every 4 to 7 days until I finish off this chapter. This page drawn and colored by me.
Zandor (see Fight Cast) tries so hard… Does this page feel redundant to you? As you know there was a 10-month hiatus, so… I lost track of my scripting, and drew the same stuff twice LOL. I caught myself half-way, and saved it as best as I could.
Now the good thing about the hiatus is it gave me time to craft a good end-of-chapter. I wasn't happy with this chapter for a long time (which is why I got lazy continuing it), but now I'm very satisfied with it. Starting next page the fun begins.
Check out FIGHT Cast (the clickable banner above the comics page) for character profiles. It's having new updates every Monday-ish, alongside the new Fight 2 pages.
Oh, no those are just her flashbacks. Every time you see the scene cut to Strahl/ Quorthon/ etc, she's just thinking about that memory in the past. In segments.
Yes, I got that, and it DOES work just as you intended, all I'm saying is that there is price you pay for that particular choice, just like any other choice you might have made, which in this case is that the top half can be seen as a bit too abrupt. But look at it from the positive side: it's most definitely NOT redundant, eh? :-)
And it's GOOD that Strahl is a getting a bit more sympathetic here, right before he presumably vanishes. It helps explain why they would WANT him to stay, which frankly was a bit incomprehensible before.
Oh, I see! I love her face in the "gramercy" panel, I don't think we've ever seen that sort of expression on her before and it's kinda hilariously cute…
@ Northstar: The first row's layout and balloons are intentional; I was using them instead of Nuada to convey pace and emotion. His balloons are like a swarm of agitated insects buzzing over Chase's head, who remains completely oblivious.
I've no problem with the flow either. If anything, the top half seems a bit rushed: since we don't see Nuada's expressions in the second panel, and then cutting to Chase's completely incongruous and disconnected reaction in fourth panel, the first row seems a bit too compact.
Speaking of panel four, the contrast between Chase's blissful cheer and Nuada's consternation is soooo funny XD
Also, this is the first page where Strahl doesn't come off as a jackass.

There are no copies of characters in one comic.

That's the intention anyways.
Strahl: He doesn't? Oh, damn.
@ Whirly:
Glad to see I'm still on your list. =D

Yeah, I figured out how to do cel shading "quickly". Now I just have to put more contrast into it.
This word comes up a lot, so I'll mention it here. In Middle English, worship means honour.

It seems to flow naturally to me. Whatever you did to fix it worked. Good page, it looks like you hit your stride coloring, and it looks great.

I actually think it adds to the scene showing they really tried despite all and I enjoy chase's dialog here.
