What’s that? Mysterious new world building developments? Man, I really should have mentioned Wights sooner.

I was planning on continuing our “Hey, what are the various heroes up to” mini series with an Oliver comic on Friday, but I think I’ll continue this little scene for one more page.   Oliver can wait until next week.

SteamCon is only a few days away! Holy crap I have a ton of stuff left to do!

If you’re going, I will be the guy who looks like this:

(But, you know, not in double exposure and probably with goggles strapped to my head.)

Feel free to flag me down and say hello.  I won’t have a booth to sell stuff, but I will have my Stash O’ Art to barter.

More stuff later in the week!

    What? The comic is up at 6 in the morning? Who are you and what have you done with Shawn!?!

  2. syhd says:

    I was going to congratulate Gramps for pulling Talk To Ophelia duty, but the topic got kinda personal all of a sudden.

    Nice lighting on their faces in the last panel!

  3. didub says:

    Woo! Finally, the Opheliacs get their fix.

  4. Scotticus says:

    I love the way the conversation continues without a reaction from Ophelia and Gramps despite what is going on the background. Seems to indicate that those types of shenanigans go on all the time in that part of their base.

    • Shawn says:

      That’s exactly what I was going for. The idea that Toby and his dad blowing stuff up is such an every day occurrence at this point that it’s not worth looking around unless someone starts screaming.

  5. Emily says:

    Have fun at SteamCon Shawn! I wish I could join you and steal your art.

  6. de Quant says:

    Ophelias got a new hair style? Nice looking lady!

  7. J. Beatnik says:

    Ophelia just put her hair up. You can see the sticks in the first panel. Also. OLIVER! BEST CHARACTER EVER. (After Private Stevens, of course.)

  8. Debbie says:

    It’s *great* to see you back again, and this page is just amazing; Ophelia’s hair is gorgeous and the background action rocks as well.

  9. Avilan says:

    I still think Eve’s hotter, but Ophelia is looking damn good.
    Oh and thank you Shawn, It’s alive! (I know I am a little late. But I will now go and play Weird Science by Oingo Boingo to celebrate).

    • Shawn says:

      This is the first time I’ve drawn Ophelia since going all digital, and she doesn’t look quite right. Which, I suppose is fitting being she’s the character I tend to most fuss over drawing.

  10. bobbdogg says:

    wooot! thank you, dude, it is now in my regular comic rotation and it is fantastic to have you back!

  11. Nicole says:

    I was watching Shawn do the line drawing for this last night and I am IN AWE of the amount of work that goes into creating the comic. I had no idea and am really humbled and grateful that you put the story out here for us to enjoy, Shawn! :) Thank you.

    Love Ophelia’s hair and necklace. She’s just too cool. :)

  12. Harrowed says:

    I’m so glad I came by to see what was up! I didn’t know you were back, yay! I like how they just ignore all the crazy happening in the background.

  13. Flo says:

    Ophelia looks great in this page! no that she doesn’t look great in any of the other pages.

    but I want Oliver! I was looking forward to him, and now I have to wait longer.

    BUT! I’m gonna be at steamcon on Saturday for my birthday! unless something comes up. I’ll see if I can find you. however, I will not be wearing goggles, nor will I be double exposed.

  14. spike says:

    hey so i’m new here and have never played the game so i’m sorry about my noobishness. death mage? is there a site that i can go to and get some backstory on what that means? also would that one lady/thing we saw before with the red eyes be a deathmage by any chance?

    • Shawn says:

      It hasn’t really been mentioned before. Basically if an elementalist (like Ophelia) dies before they give up their magic powers (how we’ve not exactly covered), they turn in to some sort of undead elemental monster called a Wight.

      You’ll see one all too up close at some point.

  15. [...] you’re curious, Ophelia’s request is in relation to something she and Grandpa talked about a few pages ago/two years [...]
