So it turns out that the big, complicated Gaul fanfic thingy I was working on wanted to be a comic. I am clearly insane. smilie

Summary: What would you do to save your species? Would you sell your soul to the devil?

Rated: PG-13/T for dark themes and depictions of death

Clearly insane? You were clearly motivated! Nice work so far.

"Would you sell your soul to the devil?"

So is this story something like Dr. Faustu?

I've never read Faust, but from what I know of it, probably not. smilie

And I ignored my excruciating arm pain at work today to do the next page. smilie

He basically sold his soul to the devil; I thought you've got that reference from there.

Oooooh. In a round about way, I suppose I did. I was using the common cultural reference of selling one's soul to the devil.

Me likez! ^.^ You did a good job on the sketching part. And, like you told me before, Razz, I'm still practicing on that drawing of mine's...smilie I don't draw as good as you do, but here's one dragon I drew, just to show you how I draw...smilie

Mm, I like it so far. :3 The last couple pages show a different side of Gaul I didn't really expect... I haven't gotten that far in TEN yet (HAET EXECUTIONER!), but I do know Gaul is the villain, so yeah. o: Keep it up if it doesn't hurt too much. :3 Wouldn't want it to interfere with your other art if it does, you know.

Thank you, guys. smilie Okay, now that I know people are reading HoD here, I'll keep posting the links for you all. smilie

SequoiaDragon: Yep, his eye is missing. In TEN, he has a gem to replace it, so I figured I'd deal with how he got that gem in this story.

DragonGyrll: Oooh, what an awesome dragon! smilie You're very talented. smilie And don't even start comparing yourself to me; I've got at least a decade of practice past you, most likely. smilie I've been drawing for over twenty years, so just keep practicing and you'll be even better than you already are in time. smilie

(When fighting the Executioner, Dragon Time is your friend, as is the Earth Flail. smilie) Gaul is somewhat one-dimensional in the game, but he struck me as a guy who has a lot of potential. Also, I hate seeing one race completely vilified, so I figured I'd address some of those issues in HoD.

^.^ Thx. I make up my own dragons. smilie And yeah, that's a long time. I've been drawing for like, my whole life, (well, almost, I think like 10 years or so...) I'm turning 13 next month, so yeah, I still have a long way to go. I'm wanting to take more art classes, but none of them teach me anything...smilie So, I basically taught myself by just keep drawing, and I got better. I'm wanting to do air brush, sculptures, and paintings.

It does take time. I'm not sure how long each page of this comic takes because I draw it in bits and pieces while I'm at work (it gets quiet at the Foucault pendulum, so I sit down and work on a page until someone comes into the area to ask about it).

Thank you. smilie

Thank you, guys. smilie Yes, it was a lot of work; gave me a sore arm and a headache, but I think the results were worth it. smilie

As for drawing with pens... They've been my tool of choice for at least fifteen years, so I've had a lot of practice to get good with them. Also, I do a quick, very messy and light pencil sketch before I take a pen to it for HoD. smilie

^I do the same thing when I'm doing something in pen...lolz smilie It's a lot easier to do that. I usually just draw with pencil...and I think I've been drawing for 10 or 11 years...? smilie

HoD is a rare exception with my pen drawings. I usually just do the drawing from start to finish with the pen. But since this is a comic, I figured it wouldn't be a bad idea to do a really basic layout beforehand.

Sore arm when you draw + "I like the use of my hand and I don't have much to wast" = Extremely bad sounding for mwa.

I knew I shouldn't have tried to mow the lawn using the wipper snipper.
*Kicks wippersnipper*

Actually my saw arm is alot less saw now. Just try and write with your left hand. Thats what I did.


Also Love the comic and can't wait till the rest.

^lolz smilie Oh, ok. Sounds cool, though. I wonder, can you also draw realsitic people? Cuz I like drawing realsitic people, and they come out pretty good, but for the fact that it takes lots of time and patience to make it, and they're not easy. So I was just curious...

Yes, I do portraits of people and animals, but only very rare occasions. They're not as fun to draw as cartoons are and they make my head hurt.

^Wow, AMAZING! smilie That's really good! smilie I love the coloring you did on it. I love it! smilie Yeah, I think I have my realistic sketch of my character posted on this site somewhere, but it'll take a long time to look for it. It's on the "Spam Central" forum topic, and it's on the topic "Post any pictures you want", but there's lots of pages for that topic, so that's why it's gonna take a long time...smilie But once I find it, I might be able to show you. ^.^ Her name is Guinevere (Gwen for short). BTW, I also like your other cartoonish drawings. REALLY cute! ^.^

Thanks SpyroRules and DragonGyrll. smilie

Are you sure you're not thinking of the Goths, Alexis? They were an old German race, if I remember rightly. Oh wait! I remember the Galls, too. As for the Ape King (or Battleeater, as he is known at this point in the comic) his name is derived from the word "gall" which is mostly used to refer to bile (a bitter-tasting liquid in your digestive system that can sometimes be coughed up if you're sick).
