Description The mysterious wombat finally makes an appearance...



It's about time I show you all what Ashworth the Wombat is really all about! Well actually I'll let him do the entertaining.


His scar on the back has some unique history behind it for those who are curious...


Thanks to everyone who had entered into the "You Be The Comic Artist" contest! All entries received so far have been amazing. You guys are really a talented and dedicated bunch! *thumbs up*

For those who have not entered yet you've still got until the 31st October 2008 to be in a chance of winning one of the five prizes which are a set of 20 photo sized prints of The Grand ASHWORTH Fortune 'FORTUNE in COLOUR' concept artworks!


Anyways hope you like the comic and Ashworth's debut into the story!!

I'm very proud on the improvement of my skills with sequential art! It's a lot of fun narrating this exciting scenario where an emu meets wombat... Both in the story are destined to live up to their goals seeking grand fortune in the vast universe that is Gloreya.



Once again do not be afraid to point out any grammer/spelling errors or any artistic faults like a missing hand or misplaced object in the background! LOL! XD *thumbs up*

Ashworth is bipolar... O_o;

Nah, he's just glad to be out! I'm sure that's the reaction ANYONE Would have to getting losed from a block of Ice. He looks really scary in that last second to last panel! What was he doing there in the first place, though? O_o;

Also, Huzzah fro that monster being crushed! ^____^ *Runs out breifly, takes a magnifying glass, and checks, over, just to make sure* Actually, I know he's not dead. You gave him a name didn't ya? And it's like a puppy- Ya name it, ya have to keep it. XD Can't wait to see how Ashworth decides to get his revenge.

He'll probably make a sandwich after his revenge... He's unpredictable! XXD I want to him this type of character where people get excited about what he's going to do next - keep people surprised and such!

But for now it's really important to establish that connection between Ashworth and Ruby. I need people to know whether these two are coming from when they meet for the first time! ^^

O_O Very spooky semi-final panel on Page 142!

P.S. Is it just me or does ASHWORTH look taller...?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

darkspeeds In reply to MysteryEzekude [2008-09-29 16:05:56 +0000 UTC]

Yeah from a design perspective he has been portrayed more muscular and a little taller. It's hard to make the character look short anymore when you apply more realistic anatomy... It would look awkward have a very short cartoon character with realistic muscles around his arms, body and legs - I tried it already... XD

I'm starting to move away from the Sonic style and slowly developing a more unique cartoon style of anthromorphic characters - the way I envisioned it to be 'bringing sexy back' into anthro cartoons/cartoon characters! XD
