11 - Over-Dramatic, Much?

Transcript below the cut:

Brudil is kneeling, picking her bucket back up. Brudil: I need a real helmet… "WHIMPER" SFX comes from her left. Brudil: Hello? Is someone there? Pleht gasps (with "GASP!" SFX) and slaps a hand over his mouth. Brudil peeks around the door and sees him. Brudil: Hey, are you all right? Pleht: YEEP! Brudil: It's okay, I'm not gonna hurt you. In fact… Brudil grabs Pleht, striking a heroic pose and tearing up. Brudil: …I'll make sure you get out with me unscathed, new friend! Pleht: YACK! Pleht (thinking): THE MONSTER'S GOT ME I'M GOING TO DIE OH PAUBB SAVE ME I KNEW THIS WAS A BAD IDEA I HOPE AT LEAST I'M GOOD EATING BECAUSE I CAN'T GET OUT OF THIS DEATHGRIP I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT KIND OF SPELL COULD SET ME FREE I JUST… NEED… TO TRY… SOMETHING! Pleht reaches into his coat, rummaging for anything to aid him.

Next-day reblog!

3 - Flickering Magic

Transcript under the cut:

Pleht is uneasily looking at a doorway into a dark room. There are signs of overgrowth within. He digs into his coat (with small "RUSTLE" SFX). Pleht: …Should be okay, just this once. I mean, w-who's gonna know? Pleht: Please understand, Mr. Sardon. Magic swirls around his hand as Pleht prepares a piece of flint and a special ring over his thumb. He flicks (with "flick" SFX), but nothing happens. Pleht: Come on, come on, why isn't this working? It worked just fine yesterday! Pleht keeps flicking, but naught but sparks show up. The flicks (with plenty of "flick" SFX) attract the attention of a creature in a hole in the wall. Creature: chttr? Creature: chtt… chtt… hissss Pleht finally accomplishes his goal, looking at the flame hovering above his thumb, unaware of the large legs above him. Pleht: Ha, finally! Now to… He stops, face full of dread as he realizes there's a giant ladybug behind him.

And here’s a timelapse of my earliest version of my current process, showcased with my fifth page! Again, potential flashing lights warning.

Currently, it’s a little different, but the outline goes like this:

1. Make rough.

2. Solidify panel layout.

3. Solidify dialogue.

3. Make rough sketches.

4. Make speech bubbles.

5. Make lineart, with separate layer of the background lines covering the lines on the base.

6. Colors

7. Shading

8. Other effects.

It’s much easier to manage layers than when I started, and it encourages me to work more quickly to boot!

…later down the line, I mean. I forgot this page was a toughie for me.

In the world of Dungeon Smalls, is it common for gnomes to go 'adventuring'? Or for goblins to learn magic?

For gnomes, it’s more common to see one only taking on dangerous jobs when necessary. While they are generally one of the more resilient folks around, they tend towards aiding their local community with remarkable persistence. A more common adventure is either a rescue mission or gathering resources from a place that’s dangerous for other folk due to things like poor air quality.

As for goblins, it varies. Goblins in general believe each one of them has a destined ambition (often referred to as “Paubb’s Call” after the god of action). They may not be the best at their passion, but you can reliably guess they will strive for improvement at every turn.

So while anyone could feasibly learn magic, if a goblin feels Paubb’s Call pulling them to spellcasting, they WILL learn it.

Dungeon Smalls is Up and At 'Em!

Hello Tumblr! I have been working on a webcomic for some time, and I hope you like it!

It stars a goblin wizard apprentice and a gnome warrior wannabe as they go adventuring.

Hope to see you there!

10 - Fearful Fancies

Transcript below the cut:

Brudil falls down onto her stomach (with "WHAM!" SFX). Brudil: ACK! Pleht reels back, clutching his shirt. Pleht: What..? Who…? He spies the axe dropped by Brudil. His anxiety spikes as he imagines several monsters that Brudil could be: Mockman: Brudil's head and eyes roll back, and she leans enough for her belly to reveal a gaping maw. Puppet: A marionette Brudil stiffly raises her axe, looking with a lifeless expression. Undead: Brudil shows as a rotting zombie, grinning as she brandishes the axe. All these thoughts hang over Pleht as he sweats nervously.
