[WIP] Futa's Bounty – Pg2 Progress – Quest Accepted!
🕑 Added 2023-06-01 16:15:14 +0000 UTCFirst look at my progress on page 2 so far!
The full page is sketched out as a rough draft (the pink lines) and I've already inked about half of it with final clean lines.
On page 1 we got a brief glimpse of Voska the orc (and witness the aftermath of her abilities).
Now on page 2 we meet Thessaly Thornblush – an intrepid sell-sword eager to make a name for herself.
A wanted poster for Voska hangs on the quest board among many others.
Thessaly rips it off the board...
Lots of background poster details to fill in here, room for some fun little Easter eggs and references •ᴗ•
This female dwarf NPC is Ebba Ironthumb, she's in charge of putting up the wanted posters.
Thessaly rolls up the poster to take with her:
Question for you guys – is this phonetically written dwarven (Scottish) accent too hard to read? Is it understandable?
Personally, I think it's fun to give characters accents in their speech bubbles, but I don't want it to be too confusing or distracting.
Should I play it safe with standard text? It would be helpful to hear your thoughts (and you know I have no problem making alternate versions with/without accented text).
Thessaly has a pithy response (text not added yet):
There will be text bubbles in this panel too, but I won't reveal what they're talking about just yet.
I'm still deciding on the best way to phrase and format the speech bubbles to fit the space:
It's not obvious yet but this is a dwarven town (hinted at by the runes and dwarven townspeople).
Thessaly gets up close and personal with Ebba, who seems hypnotized by... something...
Is she entranced by Thessaly's massive mercenary milkers? Or the jeweled trinket nestled between them?
I'll update this post with the completed page.
Stay tuned for more! I'll preview my work on page 3 tomorrow, and make more frequent updates with my progress.
Thanks a ton for all your encouragement on this comic so far! I'm really energized by your enthusiasm! •ᴗ•

I can’t tell you enough how excited I am to see this play out.

To your question on the accent. I did find it hard to understand what she was saying even after reading the standard English. I do enjoy giving characters accents but this one in particular was too hard to read for me.
