Pg 39: Entirely New
on July 18th, 2010
This week in Epic Fail: Amuletts and Bleef discuss Andy Roid’s rarity and uniqueness.
Creator’s Commentary: Drawn on holiday with no references, so it’s probably a good thing I know what my characters look like and didn’t have to do anything drastically new this scene. I though the expressions on the previous page were a little bland, and when you’re doing talking heads bland is baaaad, so I tried to make them a little more animated on this one. Also I remembered Amuletts is wearing make-up.
I’ve got to confess to a certain despondency after the termination of my Comics Collective, it has been there for me since I started, and now it isn’t. More about that in a blog entry later, I already moaned about it on twitter.
Oo I should probably mention there are new vote incentives up every day for the next fortnight:
A: Andy is the only Golem I... salvaged. The others were not working and therefore worthless.
G: Well...
A: But I have other instruments. Wands, weapons and the like.
GNOME: I should be most interested in seeing them.
AMULETTS: You are an expert in such things?
GNOME: A student. I cannot claim expertise in a field entirely new to me. It is intriguing...
I took the liberty of detecting magic on, ah, Andy. I hope you don't mind.
AMULETTS: I have been known to take libertys myself.
GNOME: It, ah, he is non-magical?
AMULETTS: So it would appear, though he could be warded against detects and dispels.
GNOME: Still that would be very specialized, very difficult, very rare...
AAMULETTS: Very valuable.
Amuletts' expression in the last panel – the one with all the little wrinkles – makes her look a bit like a greedy gremlin. Most appropriate. ;)
Yeah that was what I was going for, heh heh, greed is certainly one of Amuletts' major traits.
