Comic

I’ve been very, very many places in Spellborn. I’ve reached level 11 and am closing in on level 12, working on Quarterstone quests while I gain more levels with which to attempt the Trials of the Vault again – the spiders with the poison AE, they were the ones that got me, but I have some new spells now. I thought it would probably be pretty boring having to EXPLAIN everything about the game, so I just made a comic. The quest in the comic is not a real quest, but goes to the same places as an actual House Rune quest (the actual quest deals with a lab experiment gone horribly, horribly wrong, and increasing tensions between House Rune and House Maul). I hope it gives a feeling for the world of Spellborn, both how it looks and the sort of things you do there. It is very much a story-based world, and the game is a heaven for roleplayers. ...

I’m not supposed to be in Marleybone. I’m supposed to be mediating the eons-old feud between the Djesserit and Anjit clans of Kroks, a feud that started over where someone was to be buried. The Kroks are so focused on death, they love nothing else so much as the touch of the grave. It’s depressing. That’s Tara in front of the portal to the Tomb of Storms, the final zone in the world of Krokotopia. That’s my work outfit, the one I use to get things done. Notice it is covered with the Sigil of Myth. My entire outfit is in the blue and gold of the Myth school. So when people ask me what kind of wizard I am, I usually say Fire. ...

I used to make a lot of comics for EQ1 but haven’t done the same yet with EQ2. Here’s a little comic about my level 13 Fae berzerker traveling to the Bonemire to make the longest flight ever - from the Catotoxic Stain to the Halls of Fate. In my next comic, I won’t use any in-game text balloons. They tend to be in bad places and don’t take well to zooming and cropping and don’t give me the freedom to change what PCs and NPCs are saying. Also, instead of using Photoshop for the whole thing, I used “The GIMP” to prepare the panels and Inkscape for the one text balloon I added, compositing and export of the final product. ...
