Very sneaky! But I guess you don’t climb a giant tower mountain thing without some kind of backup.

Panel 1:
Skadefry: If you think that you have found victory today, then you are sorely mistaken. For on this day we could have prevented the end.
Panel 1:
Skadefry: The fire eternal has risen once again and it seeks only our destruction.
Panel 3:
Skadefry: So remember; when your children cry out as your homes burn...
Panel 4:
Skadefry: That today's victory went only to that monster.
Panel 11:
Pai: So... does this mean you all won?
Ell: Cough. I reckon (think) for now, Hun (term of endearment).
Panel 12:
Ell: But I have to admit, shield gliding is not a half bad idea! What? It's not!
No, it’s not a bad idea. Combine it with slow fall and ice block and I have a new hobby.
seems like something FaxMonkey from the “stupid mage tricks” would try. xD
That would be awesome.
sigh… I miss being a 3min mage in the bgs and firing up a pyro, toss out an insta flamestrike as I slowfall into the chaos dramatically while spamming my aoes… those were the days…
lol coffin lost his beard there!
perhaps it’s the source of his power! fake beard of fiery wrath? lol!
He may have won but it looks like Smokey the fire bug is back. There is only one one way the good guys can win. *grabs a tube of glue and glues Coffins beard back on* With pure rugged manliness!
Now if you excuse men I’m going to head for that ice capped mountain over yonder to hide behind an army of snowmen.
hmm, I suppose when he goes super shaker >9000, instead of getting blonde hair, he gets man chest and a beard. err… in his head anyways…
>)
Ain’t a bad idea at all, though they seem to look like cheese crackers from far away (every time I see them I recall the tiny bits making me itch, really! Argh >.< )
And the fire… the fire! @_@ You MUST stream that one day, need to know how you do it! Just need to! :D
heh… it took forever to figure it out! went through quite a few variations and techniques (and a bit of tourettes) before getting to this point.
as for how to do it… it’s ridiculously simple… pretty much, you just use a soft brush, layer the various colors from dark to light (you can even separate them and knock down the opacity on each color to blend even more… that’s what I’ve been doing for the larger fires), and finally use the smudge tool (around 50%ish) and just give little flicks to blend it. (I’d make a new layer for the blend, cause it just sits on top of the others so if you need to change something, it won’t mess up your base coat)
it sounds like more of a mouthful than it really is. the tl;dr version is just loosely throw down your colors, then use the smudge tool to make it look fiery. when I get a chance, I can make a tutorial for you guys. as for a stream… um… I’m probably a bit too ADD when at the computer to do that and will forget the camera is on and start browsing the webs or play some minecraft for an hour before remembering people were watching me. lol
Surprisingly, I understood the nl;dd part without resorting to the second. WoW, that’s pretty much an achievement for me :D

Is it just me or did i notice that the speech bubbles in thelast 2 panels had kinda a western or farmers accient
ah yes, good good! if you read through the archives, you’ll notice that there are 3 accents present. the mages all have a southern accent, battlemages like Nith have none, and the bladesmen (ones in capes) are a bit more proper. Over on TV Tropes, they call it “Southern Fried Genius“, where they have a thick drawl but are actually intelligent. Figured it’d give the comic a little bit of flavor. >)
It’s actually kind of a pet peeve of mine, but it annoys me to no end that people with southern/rural accents are portrayed on tv/films as being stupid; with the exception of only a very few, like the tv show The Closer. So maybe it’s a little of that coming out as well, but really I just like the way it sounds. >D
“Yo mamma’s so small she hang-glides with a Dorito!” …is the old joke that echoed in my head as I read this. There it is…the Dorito hang glider. Proof they exist.
uhg, now I’m hungry for chips! XD
