Great comic GG. I can't believe how much work you must have put into it.

Arc #271637 - Welcome to M.A.G.I. - An alternative first story arc for magic origin heroes. At Hero Registration you heard the jokes about Azuria always losing things. When she loses the entire M.A.G.I. vault, you are chosen to find it.

Nice comic of 12MB or so per page was woah!

I loved your BABs looking for work picture as well.

I do have one question, i had always thought swan's outfit looked like a strapless one piece with a sheer midriff, you tend to have her drawn wearing a bikini type outfit, did i miss something from the comics , or was that just a body you already had made up and multipurposed.

I wasn't happy with the sheer effect I was getting - it made her look like she'd been tanning her tummy, but nothing else
It's just an example of how some things that work in-game don't work out of it - and the CoT outfits are another example - things that work well with smaller scale in-game models that are moving a lot of the time don't always work with larger scale models that are always static, so I had to tweak some of the Thorns' in-game look to make it fit with the style of my pictures, which put a lot of emphasis on being as realistic as possible - within a comicbook setting, that is

The in-game back-capes they have are fine for the in-game models, but they cause all kinds of clipping problems when used on more detailed models, as well as being impractical for sitting down because they're so stiff - so I tweaked them to be more like fabric, so they hang and drape rather than stick out - but that also meant that the in-game hip pieces, which are just part of the stiff back-capes curving around their wasits, had to be tweaked to be separate thigh armor, while still keeping the same layered pointy look.
The length of the chest edges of their hoods also had to be shortened for clipping reasons, and I chose to leave out the smokey effect from their eyes, as the way it clips with theri hoods in-gane is fine, but it would look bad in this art style.
I also went with the classic "empty hood" look for them, rather than the new "head painted black" look.

Like sticking as close as posisble to the gane lore, I also try and stick as close as possible to the game visuals - but in both cases, sometimes a few tweaks are needed because I'm making comicbooks, not games

Thank you, GG, for including Red Dragon in your comic! What a thrill, seeing him in vivid 3-D digital art action, fighting alongside Golden Girl, Minx, and, um, the other guy!

Say, maybe, if other players are nice to you, their characters can be featured in an upcoming issue of Golden Girl comics?

You're welcome

I'm actually starting to cast some roles for the 3rd issue - there's going to be another generic new-ish hero, plus 1 actual player Hero, and 3 player Villains - I'm pretty sure I've gotten someone for the Hero role, and someone else for oone of the Villain role - but I'm still going to need 2 more player Villains to fill out the cast.

Thanks for adding a .pdf link for your beautiful comic book, Miss GG. Unfortunately, I got a message that I did not have access to it.

pretty well done, though as a bit of a critique, I'd say work on your action poses a bit more.

Nice comic. I have one qualm however, your intolerance of villains is almost villainous.



Bad Voodoo by @Beyond Reach. Arc ID #373659. Level 20-24. Mr. Bocor has fallen victim to a group of hooded vigilantes who have been plaguing Port Oakes, interfering with illegal operations and pacifying villain's powers. He demands that revenge is taken on these miscreants and his powers are returned! You look like just the villain for the job. Challenging.

Do you mean that you couldn't go to the DA page, or that it wasn't displaying on the DA page?
