19 - Grouping Up

Stupid capital cities and all the distractions they hold. If I'm trying to level quickly I'll try and hold out as long as possible before going to learn my spells because I know I'll spend a while doing other things and not leveling.

18 - Party Chat

New gear and new characters!
Introducing Marley, the undead rogue.

Like I said the gear isn't anything flash, but at least Remmy has a robe now. Feels a bit more magey. Unfortunatly, I have now found that the leveling armour is different post-shattering, so their armour isn't up to date now. I'll add some new stuff to their future gear, but for now they're retro.

Speaking of the Post-shattered world. I just quested in Stonetalon Mountains as horde.
wow.
The narrative there is so well told and the ending is epic with voice acting and all. The poor chieftain though, such a sad ending for him.
The emotional depth in the story at cliffwatcher post is why I play a Tauren.

This comic also sparks an update in the Banner image to include Marley in it.

17 - Goblin Dealers

Introducing Hendrix. He will be a face you'll see often during the comic.

Also, I love the Goblin animations. There's a bug in the WoW Model Viewer at the moment which makes some animations have his hanky on his belt (used in the in game cry animation), but besides that I scrolled through them all and could see a hundred uses for them in my comic. I used three different ones in this comic and they all add a lot of character to his dialogue (plus the last frame which is just a look to the side, something a lot of the races don't have).

16 - Eve of Shattering [Special]

It seems that Patch 4.0.3a, The Shattering, will most likely go live during the maintainence (here's hoping), so here's a little special comic I made for the occassion.

The regular comic will pick back up on Thursday as usual.

Also, the original one that I made for this comic had Lorgrokni on the bridge just south of this area where I thought the scar would be. After checking the PTR I found that it was actually here and quickly had to fix it.
Enjoy the shattered world.

15 - Level Appropriate Gear (LAG)

So close to Lorgrokni and Remmy getting new gear. Just a few more comics. Not that the gear is anything special. It just looks different.

Unfortunatly, the second panel is a little text heavy, something I want to avoid as much as possible, but the extra description helps build tension for the pause in panel 3....
I want to keep my comic as easy to read as possible so it doesn't require you to wade through a wall of text.
Maybe I can just split it up over speech bubbles and different frames like I did in comic 13.

14 - Killing Quests

This is a pretty good summary of the progression of quests. Except the Burning crusade one could also include doing a bombing run on the quillboar.

I know just last update I mentioned how I wanted to do less of these wide angle talking shots, but here there wasn't much else to do. I at least made a different first and last panel. That's a start.

Also, I have counted up the comics that I will need to do before the Christmas Special I have planned, and for the storyline to be in the right place I'll need to keep uploading three times a week. Bonus for you guys I guess.

13 - Grinding

I love Remmy's face in the last panel. It just fits perfectly.

As Thunder Bluff is a little more interesting than an open field in Mulgore I've been experimenting with different angles and shots to spice up the comic panels, so it's not all the same wide angle shot with just different stances for the characters.
