And So It Begins

Derrexi enters soul combat with the shade of Master Tazarik and the Hawk Maidens engage the Onyx Edge students.

Combat scenes are complex to plot, especially as I picture them fully animated in my mind and I have to choose specific snapshots of the action to put into a comic page. This happens as I sketch the thumbnails for the rest of the chapter, and it doesn't help that there are a lot of characters involved in this scene. At least most of them are in uniform, unlike the chapter with all the elves and their individually customized masks...

I took a small series commission, so the pages will be delayed for the next couple of weeks, like this one, but they will be coming up for sure!

Oh, and before I forget, a long-time reader emailed me warning me that his antivirus was flagging Nahast's website with CRiMEPACK Exploit Kit (type 1353). I have a pretty good idea of what may be causing it, but it may be transient and out of my direct control, so I'd appreciate if anyone getting similar warnings send me a note.
