Description Aah man, this page took waaay too long to draw. Much longer than it should have. Okay, gotta stay posetive here, there are just three more pages of this chapter left to go!
The problem with mulling a page over for a long time, is that by the time you release it, the jokes have stopped being funny to you, and sometimes I'm even thinking 'was this really funny?' even if I'm quite aware it's funny. I'm pretty sure that Sol's little mental image of the 'Spawn of Fortress' will make you chuckle though. Funny really, but the comic has become more and more a comedy as I went along. Guess it's because I feel more confident about making people laugh.
On the artistic front, I like this page. Can't really put my finger on what I like about it. I used a different technique for Sol's hair, which looks a lot nicer. It looks more dynamic now, and fits with the retro feeling of the comic. Spent way too much time on the final panel. I just absolutely love drawing Walking Fortress' armour.

Hope you lot like it.
...Oh yeah, and check it out, if you google 'FanDanGo webcomic', my page comes up as the first option now! ....As opposed to not coming up at all, hahaha. Huzzah!

Gah, I love how Sol looks in panel four, especially the face and shadow work. And Walking Fortress' sword and that flowery outfit showing through the armor-- brilliant stuff. XD Gotta love Fortress junior too, hehe.

I like having shadowy shots sometimes I can do them where most manga can't because my characters don't have tiny manga noses. That image of Sol, I just kept adding more and more shadow to it, haha.

Ah, Fortress' flowery shirt. I liked the idea of giving the impression that under this big suit of armour, she's a mum. Plus the juxtaposition of armour and flowers is funny. I love when people notice the little details I put in.

Heeee. I love the panel with the Spawn of Fortress and the flowers. It did indeed make me chuckle.

Have I mentioned I love the Fortress? Because I do.

Thanks! Fortress is always an enjoyable character to work with. Armour is fun to draw, plus an excuse to write in big allcaps is not to be missed hahahaa.
