I like the ‘demonic slug’ theme for the Vile Faceless Minions. What could possibly be scarier to a vegetable?
The whole lair setting is admirably spooky. I’m waiting for a ‘Wizard of Oz’ sort of reveal – a switch from sepia to color as she enters the castle, maybe?
You won’t see color except in very rare circumstances (like for the Christmas card comic… maybe). Codex and I have debated about making the strips color, but she feels the muted palette we use gives a distinctive look and matches our tone. I find it hard to argue her point, because if we did go to full color we risk appearing too cartoonist for both our tastes.
Still, we’re experimenting, so who knows; maybe next year…
That was Codex. The script said ‘troll-like creature, have fun.’ She obviously did, and the result fits the demesne pretty well, I think, at least the way it appears in our Dewberry Woods. Has anyone visited the real place and lived to give a description?
The stench of social justice.
I had wondered. The smell is overpowering and the smudge doesn’t quite cut it.
hmmm interesting typo I made- overposering
