Chapter 6: Guess the scene

Can you guys take a guess as to what in the world is going on? In the novel, not much about this really told except a simple analogy made by Arthur. I wanted to go off on that in the beginning of C...

Jasmine Flamesworth

The brusque, yet lovable Jasmine. 

Her expression was a little tricky to get down, despite the commonality of characters like her in animes and other comics. Next chapter update, Chapter 6, is ...

Explosion

Helen Shard

Ah, the charismatic leader of the Twin Horns after Reynolds stepped down.

It was hard portraying a charismatic face that was a good balance of pretty and handsome. A figure that both girls and...

Adam Krensh

Another member of the Twin Horns and the augmenter/spear-wielder that Arthur first sparred with.

Reynolds Leywin

If you've read the comic, then you probably saw Reynolds in his normal day-to-day attire, but here is the original draft with his adventurer outfit! Stunning, no?

Angela Rose (Twin Horns)

The overly-affectionate Miss Angela Rose. Color scheme and wardrobe were a bit hard to choose since I wanted her clothes to provide at least some sort of protection (or rather, ease of movement) witho...

Chapter 1, another glimpse

It's funny to think that I had to buy a tablet for the sole sake of editing. This is one of the drafts that my storyboard artist would send me to take make sure that the perspective, expressions, e...

Prologue Scene Comparison

So this is a deleted scene of the prologue for a reason that may be clear to some of you. While there's nothing wrong with a mother feeding her child breast milk, it was a bit "distracting". You can s...
