Fourteen strips to finally explain the name of the comic. Some of the people commenting on it kept calling Glorious by his full name, Glorious Saber, but apparently also called Saber “that girl” which means I was less than clear on the names. This means that I wasn’t as clear as I could be when it came to naming people. I thought I was being clear, but I missed things.
This is a talkie, which I’m trying to cut down on. But, this starts to show the relationship between Glorious and Saber. There are a lot of reasons they travel together and their shared name is actually one of them.
Comment
Apparently, Glorious is a lot more observant that I originally planned, but a little comment on The Freedom Stone forum about his idiocy adding to Awareness just sealed the deal. Plus, it cuts off a couple episodes of them dancing around their secrets and moves the story forward nicely. Plus, I thought it was funny. Therefore, Glorious acquires a new and interesting personality quirk.
And I got rid of the mouths. They really didn’t add anything for me and they seemed to get in the way. Maybe I’ll try again later.
Got this out a bit later than I wanted to, but it is out and that’s what is important. It seems like most of my jokes, I had this one planned for weeks, seem to be centered around bad storytelling. But, I’m getting a lot more comfortable with creating the graphics and they are actually growing on me.
Originally, I did the ninja for GenCon 2007, but no one got that far in the plot, so I stole it for this plot. Actually, the next couple of Solars are going to be from the GenCon miniature sets I made (54 tokens made, 6 used).
Well, adding a couple changes to the artistic style with this one. Mainly switching to a single font for everyone and trying to make it a bit easier to read on everyone. I’m also adding mouths, not sure about it, but you got to start somewhere.
This is also the first time I have extras on the picture. I decided extras can only speak in punctuation and are just grayscale.
