Comic for Friday, October 2nd
… okay now the hair thing is just ridiculous 😛
It’s sort of stylized way to show movement I guess. I dunno why I do things.
This is the first we’ve directly seen the robot use magic – these is a reason for that! Simply put it’s just plan slower than hitting something (but she’s managed to get somewhere it can’t easily reach) and less effective than shooting something (what it was trying to do previously). That said – it’s a point defense spell for pretty much the exact purpose of targeting people that have gotten out of its various targeting ranges. I did say they had a few tricks up their bulky metal sleeves.
I wanted to start the month with a new vote incentive. Unfortunately I’ve been a little busy and didn’t have one. So I cheated! It’s just concept/character are from a video game I’m working on, but I suppose it still counts as bonus art since I drew it 😛
Anyway – off to go be busy more. I may be starting a different job soon, but I don’t expect the comic will go anywhere, but I’ll keep you guys posted if there are any changes.

I’m in the middle of the surprise spectrum. I expected Naomi to do more damage, but I didn’t expect one punch to destroy it. I thought she’d use a series of attacks, and that seems to be what she’s doing.
Your poses and perspectives are coming along nicely. Naomi’ lengthening hair does add a feeling of motion; I’m okay with it–especially the purple streak in the final panel. ^^
Thanks 😀
I suspect there will be ups and downs but as long as it’s getting better slowly I’m happy.
Uh, Dude, you are one of the fastest learners I’ve seen. It’s been a pleasure watching you improve, damaged shoulder and all.
Appreciate the kind words. I try not to wallow in my frustrations with the art too much 😉 Things always look slightly different (worse, I reckon :p) from my point of view, and realistically the many of the problems with the art is I just don’t spend enough time on it – I have a bad habit of spreading myself very thin. But I am greedy and want to do well at everything 😀
Robot has tough armor! Having a magic system that prevents people from climbing on you makes sense to me. ^^
I was sort of curious which way people would surprised – that hitting it left a dent at all or the it wasn’t annihilated into a mushroom cloud. Considering Naomi’s rep and penchant for ignoring physics, I figured most people would fall into the later, tbh 😉
Still, heavy armor plating is pretty tough. Even Kally’s dragon had to resort to ripping an arm off 😛
Yeah, we will probably see a few more tricks from the robots, but the general idea is that the line between magic and technology is very thin in general in this comic (especially for certain parties) – you simply use the best tool for the job.
