Halloween 2019
I’ve always wanted to do a big Halloween page with all the characters in costumes, but I’ve never really be able to pull it together. I never start early enough. “Early enough” would probably be around now if I wanted to do it for next year. So instead of that, I’ve done pumpkins.
After thinking it over, I’ve decided there won’t be an update next week. Last minute rewrites have left me scrambling to catch up. It’s my own fault, but I don’t wanna rush and half-ass just to meet a deadline that I control. I’ll talk more about what this time is needed to create when those pages go up and I show the results.
Happy Halloween! I can’t wait to see the next page either- it sounds cool!
THIS page however- since when does Sam have a mom? Jesus, who would ever marry Arthur. Or not even marry. Just have enough of a relationship with him to produce a child. Sounds like she’s real good at necromancy though, if it even is necromancy by the time that it’s just life bending.
Also the idea of an undead pumpkin is hilarious, and as usual I appreciate Alaster’s zest for… chaos. I do wonder though, if activated, would Arrie’s runed pumpkin… do anything?
Oh, I just realized you can see Sam’s sharp teeth in this too! Don’t get to see that very often, she’s usually too reserved for that. :3c
I had a hunch you were going to be interested to learn that Sam’s Mom is a character that exists. She’s got next to zero chance of making an appearance any time soon, but I figured there was no harm in mentioning her. And yeah, the story of what kind of person can end up with Arthur and how that relationship would go is an interesting story in and of itself, so that’s something to be excited about.
Your hunch was ABSOLUTELY correct I am very interested in this. I’m prepared to wait patiently for her canon appearance however!!!
Also; if you WERE to make an update with your characters in costume (as you’ve mentioned you’re interested in), who would wear what costume? :0
Oh costumes is something I’ve tried to do for years. I even had Yukitty do it for me once, I dug out that page from 2014. That one featured Iggy as Brock from Pokemon, Victus as Roy Mustang from Full Metal Alchemist, and Nick as Travis Touchdown from No More Heroes. Those 3 were my idea, and with Nick and Victus it was pretty much admitting the inspiration of their designs. It also had Sally as a character from Tokyo Ghoul, which I’ve never watched.
Other ideas from the past include Charlie as the Joker, Bael as Greed (Full Metal Alchemist again), Sally as Kim Pine from Scott Pilgrim. I’ve got Alaster as Johnny the Homicidal Maniac that I made before the comic even started. I’d be lying if I said there were never plans for Roni dressed as a pokemon protagonist… but one of the female avatars from later gens rather than just dressed as Ash.
But even for this year I had ideas that I didn’t run with. My first idea was to do the Final Fantasy 1 classes.
Arrie: Black Mage
Sam: White Mage
Phylo: FIghter
Alaster: Thief
Sally: Black Belt
Nick: Red Mage
But after thinking about RPG classes from one classic game, I started to think about another given that WoW classic had come out at the time. Kinda glad I didn’t go all in on WoW this year given the drama around Blizzard right now. But I’ll share what I had for that…
Arrie: Goblin Mage (Tier 1 Arcanist Regalia)
Sam: Forsaken Priest (Tier 1 Vestments of Prophecy)
Alaster: Forsaken DK (Conqueror’s Darkruned Plate)
Azure: Night Elf Hunter (Garrison Set Trailseeker)
Phylo: Blood Elf Demon Hunter (just dressed as Illidan)
Sally: Orc Monk (Mistdancer)
???(Orange Cerene): (no hints with the race =P) Rogue (Tier 1 Nightslayer)
Cerene: Worgen Druid (Tier 1 Cenarion Raiment)
Dante: Human Warrior (Tier 2 Battlegear of Wrath)
Charlie: Troll Shaman (Dungeon Set 1 Elements)
Kevin: Human Pally (Tier 2 Judgment Armor)
Since this was for this year I stuck to characters we’ve seen in this timeline. Or head about at least in the case of Kevin. With more cast to work with I could find a better Warrior than Dante… and Coin would be 100% Paladin. You can Look up the designs of all those armor sets I’ve listed. Also given the limited character pool I couldn’t find a good fit for Warlock. Given an expanded roster I could see Jericho as an Affliction Lock (the Damage over Time Spec). Maybe Solstice as a Demonology Lock given it’s current nature as a spec that spams pets. Heck Even Arthur works as Destruction, what with the focus on darkness and fire magic.
I guess you might have gotten more than you bargained for with this reply… I really went to town… I wasn’t Kidding when I said this has always been something I’ve wanted to do.
*scribbles all of this down for future fanart purposes* What, you didn’t think I was asking for no reason, did you?
