Blind Fly's Bluff - Part 6

First  |  Previous  |  Next  |  Latest



Illustrator's Note: This was a little bit of a rushed color work as I was struggling to get something up amidst a trip away from home and a lot of family issues happening - I intend to go back and clean it up at some point, certainly before publishing ever happens.

Illustrator's Note: I fell absolutely in love with this story arc, one of the first that W. put to paper. I was very concerned about doing it justice, as I was still very much testing my comic legs. At this point, I had researched the art of comic layout, although my speech bubbles still have some definite room for improvement. I ended up being very pleased overall with my progression with the look of the world and the characters over the eight pages of this arc. Enjoy Blind Fly's Bluff, and don't judge Ember too harshly - she's just a teenager.

Illustrator's Note: Squirrel Fishing was the first Fern Sea story arc published, and was sort of a trial run. W. had penned several short story arcs and this was the one that looked easiest for me to get a better feel for the world of Fern Sea, and I love drawing Cog, the Royal Engineer who's a bit like MacGuyver crossed with Star Trek's Scotty with a good bit of gnome tinkerer thrown in. I hadn't come to understand comic layout quite yet, nor comic bubbles, so this is definitely an "improvement needed" comic. My shading, such as it is, is also very different in this arc than in future storylines. With all of those caviats, enjoy Squirrel Fishing! :)

Welcome to Fern Sea!

Unfortunately, our old Comic Hosting site is pretty inferior to a basic blogspot site, just in stats and comment ability alone! Hopefully this new site will allow us to continue to bring you Fern Sea Chronicles for years to come. :) There will be a whole slew of updates today as I bring FSC up to date, and then it will be updated weekly from here on out.

Welcome to The Great Fern Sea! This is a family-friendly world of gnomish inventors, pet dragonflies, steam-powered catamarans, dreaded troll pirates searching the Ferns from their airships sailing the skies above, and most importantly, a ton of characters living their lives and learning the lessons that lives teach. We're glad to have you aboard!
