I really love the gestures (the physical poses) I got out of Thrud in this page. I think it communicated a lot of emotion and relayed a lot of information without speaking a word. The only thing I wasn’t happy[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I want to give credit to my significant other for the idea for Thrud’s test. The vast majority of what’s on this site is entirely from my head (plus reference) but sometimes I get some help. Oh, and something I[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

That cave is actually straight from some reference I found shortly before I started penciling the page. It came out really great especially the blue-ice part. The original had a bit more glow at the top but this definitely captures an entrance[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
