Description Routine, which can end not as expected. 


Poltergeist loves playing his mind games with urban explorers. He pretends to be a guard and then after some short dialogue he lets them in and starts the show. Obviously he's not a real guard, so he isn't very strict with visitors.


A little "experiment", as I'm trying to get into comics again. It was quite fun to work on this.

This urban explorer is yet to see, who the guard really is

Great dialogue on this one, I like the exchange between the 'urban explorer' here and the late night guard, especially considering the end of the conversation once the explorer's back is turned.

I really like how this is conveying a bit of a mini-story also, kinda gives us a bit more context into these characters and what their all about; also the visuals support the scene pretty well, as I think a viewer would still be able to guess what's going on even without the words.

Great job on the details, costumes, and character designs. The backgrounds and colors also look pretty good, though the sepia tone might be a bit heavy as it kinda makes the whole comic a bit darker and harder to see/read.

Fantastic job on this one Illusir, definitely wouldn't mind seeing more comics from you.

Thank you for the help with the dialogue I thought the ghost would easily let the guy in, so he could haunt him, that's why he looks like a pretty crappy guard


I like comics for that - they help showing a story with pictures and just a couple of words (I'm not the best writer, indeed).

I did texturing here quite heavy on purpose - it's about paranormal things so a bit darker mood fits quite well, I assume.

I doubt this comic will get much attention, but still, I could do more in the future.


Thank you for the comment!

No problem, I figure since your going through all the work of trying to master English the least I can do is review grammar and help you with that; Indeed, horror movies do that too, where they could easily stop people from entering the haunted place but they don't so they can have some fun.

Comics can be fun that way, though I prefer the medium of animation just because once it's possible for me to keep telling a continuing story with stuff I've already made, if I do it a certain way; time will tell if I can keep it interesting though. (I think your writing is pretty good here, its not mean to be super complex story and it works well for what it is).

True I suppose, I just remember the version you showed me a long time ago was much more clear and easy to see; I guess like you said its for the mood effect, I just wanted to mention it so that you were aware of the difference in effect.

Eh, you'd be surprised, often times the things in my gallery that do well are the things I'm not expecting to, that's how it goes sometimes.

Of course, no problem; great job again on this.
