Description
Tfw you're tracking a monster with a dingus who doesn't know crap about Troll death rituals!Another mock comic page, I wanted to try an interesting page layout and draw more Rokk at the same time. I'm hoping the focus shift in the panels works to draw your eye between the skulls and the characters but I fully expect it might not have the desired effect! I'm not 100% happy with the bottom panel but I was getting a little burned out on the whole thing and decided to call it done regardless. The skulls have had the ash wiped off of them which is why they're a different colour to the bones in the last panel.
Trolls believe their god can see through the eyes of their dead, they'll often clean up and place skulls of Trolls who have been murdered. The goal is to point them towards the bodies of the victims so that their god can see the suffering the dead endured and grant them a peaceful place in the afterlife (called the Uhderfhae). Trying to have Khan explain something like this without it being a massive sentence was hard, I went for a shorter version that doesn't mention their god/the point of the skulls in depth.
Khan is missing his scars in this as he's a little younger than his current timeline self - the Rokk with him is called Erah, whom I haven't drawn outside of this.
Yortma are large malicious creatures who will kill/burn/eat an entire family group of Trolls if given half the chance.
Thanks for looking!

I love the clarity & detail of this page, top notch focus blur effect going on here!!! If you don't mind me asking, what's the full size revolution of the comic page? It looks perfect!

Thank you very much! Appreciate it! I'm very pleased it works!
Oh you're not going to like it, it was drawn at 4922 x 7070 (if that's what you were asking for, apologies I'm a little sleepy! Trying to correct sleep patterns sucks!) thank you again!
You have a beautiful gallery!

Of course!
Whoa that is huge!! That's exactly what I wanted to know, thank you for getting back to me so quickly! I'm trying to figure out a comic page size that works best for me so that I can fit in ALOT of detail & also get a clear image when saved as a smaller size. My canvases are generally small (4050 x 3050) haha and likewise, your gallery is awesome!!!

Haha it was mostly by accident! I just keep cropping the canvas here and there until bam - huge canvas! Np at all!
I really should have started with A4 dimensions and sized up but that would require planning and I'm terrible at planning! Oh I'd love to see a comic in your style!
Thank you very much! <3

I like your creative use of the page layout and how you use the blurring for emphasis on what you want the reader to pay most attention to. That and the incredible skill in your art makes for a really captivating page. Are published anywhere (either web, or on paper) I'm always on the look for a good new book to read, and your work is amazing.

I actually like the bottom panel, i like the sense of space and how the bones frame it. I hope there is more story to be had. :U

Pretty harrowing.
I would definitely like to see/hear more about the backstory to this and how it continues. Do you have more pages planned or was this a one-page exercise? o3o

Thank you <3
That means a lot to me, thank you <: D Mostly a one page exercise but I'd love to do something like it in the future! Even if it's just a few short comics focusing on a couple of characters back stories buuutttt I think I have a lot of practise to do before I can pull something like that off!

This is lovely! The details are amazing!
My one critique would be to vary up the poses and push the expressions of the two figures in the second panel; they're so similar at the moment that they're causing a bit of a twinning effect.
The use of the focus blur filter is excellent

Took your advice and changed them up just a little, as much as I could without re-doing their lineart haha not a massive change but it helps a little - thank you for the feedback!
