A Third Comic for New Players

I've finally finished my 3rd comic for newer players - although it actually took a little less time that I thought it would

http://goldengirlcoh.deviantart.com/...over-289970138

As usual, I'll try and get it put into PDF form as soon as possible - until then, you can just click through the links attached to each page

Timeline/lore wise, like the previous 2, this is also set before the Praetorian War/Galaxy City disaster/"Who Will Die", as it was planned out and written around the time GR launched, with a few tweaks here and there to reflect the post GR content





The cast list was kindly contributed by the following 5 players:

Captain Electric @Captain-Electric
Green Witch @Nanas
Infernal Oblivion @Golden Destroyer
Shadow Wail @Shadow Wail
Phantom Operative @GenomeX

This was on par with the others at a solid 'Great!' IMo, but I lol'd at Mender SIlos's hair.


Goodbye. Not to the game, but the players. Goodbye. Everyone, remember to have fun. That's all I can say.

I think that there's a lot of product being used there

Hm... you never see Mender Silos and Pittsburgh Penguins forward James Neal in the same place at the same time.


Say, with more product...?

Silos was one of the more challenging bits to do, and not just because of his hair

He's an important character, but they've never released any pictures or concept art of him, so there's only the stylized art style of in-game model as a guide when conveerting him into another art style.

He has dark brows, deep-set eyes, a sharp-ish nose, average-ish chin and mouth - but while his eyes are green, his complexion isn't the usual pale/fair one that goes with green eyes, and black hair is also not so usual with them either - so is his hair dyed, or is it a combination that's more frequent in whatever time period the body is from?
Is he naturally tanned, or did he get that way from his travels through time?
Is his body over a million years old?
Is it from the past, present or future?
Does he prefer to travel back to Prussia to pick a new body?
Does he switch his consciousness between bodies to avoid the effects of the Carbon Law, and is sometimes forced to take one that he mightn't be totally happy with?
Or does he have clones of one that's he regards as his ideal body?

There are lots of things to think of when interpreting someone like that

The 4th comic was also wrttien and planned out around the time GR came out, but it'll get a few tweaks to tie it in with newer content.
It's also a kind of transition from the current set up in the first 3 of focusing on the experience of a generic new hero to another angle that will still be informitive for newer players, so it starts off in a similar way to the first 3, but then shifts towards the new angle, which will lead into the 5th and 6th ones, which are a 2-parter

EDIT: Actually, I think I'll upload the cover for the 4th one, as a kind of preview - but it'll be a few months before the whole issue's ready.
