I’m slightly tempted to take that face and put it on every movie poster I can find.
DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT
It would work great with romcoms. Where they’re both the same face.
Or one of them is Cyril.
I’d watch 300 if it was about sharkmen! Happy 300th!
I love how he holds his cape up like it’s a dress or something. Can’t get that wet, can we? Is it dry-clean only?
While we’re throwing things at Cyril, why not throw the bottles? They’d totally break against his dense head.
He has spares, but he can’t summon any right now D: And a wet cape can’t flutter dramatically whenever they get to the final boss of this place…
Poor bard. Did he REALLY think hanging out with a villain would be easy, or a good idea?
CONGRATULATION COURTNEY!!! I’m so happy for you!
Celebrate it by chucking shovels at the bard!
And thus was the great sport of shovelchuck invented…
Congratulations on reaching post 300! ^_^
*casts sorcerous fireworks all about*
… Honestly, I think that I might like 300 better if it were actually about sharkmen, or set in Idenau.
“Eat hearty men, for tonight… we dine with PIRATES!”
You know, I do believe that the progress that you’ve made in your art really does show when current pages are compared to older ones. Come to think of it, it might be rather interesting to take selections from pages throughout the run of the comic thus far and compile them into a progress image…
As to the comic itself, as we all know, nasty deeds are perfectly fine as long as they’re not being perpetrated against Skärva. ^_^
Yeah, I thought that movie was awesome when I was like, 15, and “Whooa! SLO-MO! BLOOD SPATTERS! DARK AND GRITTY! I’m so mature, I can handle all this!” But now… eh. It has most value in how over-the-top it was. Kicking people into pits is apparently what they did in Sparta.
Well, I kind of already have: http://sharkman-land.tumblr.com/post/72466847949/art-retrospective-2013 but only for this past year. Admittedly, It would be even more impressive if I went farther back.
Oh, I’d forgotten about that retrospective — but see, I was right: it was interesting! ;P
Thank you or linking me to that. ^_^
where did you dine tonight?
A very very warm place.
Surprised I’m the first to say it, but there’s a reason it won’t work on any movie. But for this. This!
“This. Is. Skärva!”
*Kicks Blank into a pit*
Or maybe Blank kicks a door into a pit.
In hell. BECAUSE THE BARD WAS THERE.
Oh Cyril, you poor little punching bag.
You’re really rocking the six pack and armor-undies, Skärva.
I lost it at “armor-undies” for a solid minute. Bravo, Jello.
Heheh, well, I am pretty great.
I wonder if Skärva would put that poster up in his castle. Like the one Lord Hater has.
HE SHOULD. And then he can get a water bed and stuff too-
oh gosh this page is just making me laugh so much…
looks better than the actual movie
Congratulations on 300 Comics!
I had a spit take at those last panels….
He got lucky and hit something!
Laughed hard at Cyril’s quote in the last panel. Just the way I imagined the whiny voice. I would totally start smashing the bottles with the shovel, that’ll learn ’em.
A whole three hundred, eh? That’s a lot o’ comics. Almost a third of the way to the big quadruple digits. Here’s to a long and prosperous road ahead of you!
Gotta say, Skärva’s calves look much better. Also, the different drawing style makes everything look a bit more… Rustic? It really is subtle, in a good way.
I wonder how many pages this comic is destined to have. Maybe two thousand. I have no idea. All I know is we have a LOT of ground left to cover. We haven’t even gotten to the part where *SPOILERS* and then *SPOILERS* spends the rest of the story *SPOILERING*! It’s a long journey but just imagine how good my art will be at the end of it!
Yay for no more deformed calves! I’m glad you like the new style!
Look at Skarva, making plans like he used to
Ah, just like the good old days. (Just wait until our side story prologue thing. That’ll REALLY be the good old days.)
