Suspense! Goooo Byron!
By the way, does his shadowstep also envoke a war-stomp?

Hehehehe, love how they re all dense and then crack up. Also, pretty freaky the way he towers over the orc, let s see if size does matter.

The art for these comics is awesome. You're very talented. My only critique is that I think the story is developing slow, they've been standing around in a circle for the past 6 weeks. Like not much happened between this week and last week, you probably could have easily combined the two into one. I don't know I don't write comics but I just want to see some tauren kidney punches already!!! >.<
:D

Dunno, looks like it takes 30 mins to draw a page, but still a funny story either way.
ZMES_Matt Dec 15th 2009 11:22AM
I think it's bound to feel that way with all once a week update comics.
The only thing that bothers me in the comic is his nose ring that plugs his nostrils instead of just piercing the septum...
But who's really noticing? xD

@Narshe - Actually, it takes a good couple of hours, from rough/layouts, inking, colouring, and text. :3 I WISH I could do a page in 30 mins! XD
@Mordokk - Yeah, I've gotten a few comments on that. I will admit I'm trying my hardest to make a comic for an entirely different audience than WoW Eh...Still, the story will pick up! I promise! :x

I tried to make a comic once. It was made out of stick figures, still took me about an hour and a half to make, and it still looked like crap.
I say kudos to Cadychan for making some quality wow artwork for us. I think it's a great concept and beautifully done.

@Cadychan
You've got lots of different audiences, you don't have to cater to any one in particular. Make what YOU like and you'll have much more fun with this. Then the audience will share in your fun! ... especially since what you like is sketchy pin-ups of Gruuka ;)

Tauren kidney punch pretty much guarantees u have to go to the hospital.
Oh well it wouldnt be the first time, i had to go to the hospital.

Love it as always, Byron just seems like such a sweetie!
But uh, call me a dense n00b if I'm missing something obvious here, but I gotta ask... what is Derrick doing to his tail?
Barinthos Dec 15th 2009 11:19AM
http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=20577 - He has the munchies.
Chris Anthony Dec 15th 2009 11:22AM
There are some questions you just don't want to ask.
Swifteye Dec 15th 2009 11:26AM
Oh, okay, thanks! Didn't even think of that; I gotta admit I'm probably more unfamiliar with Undead than any other WoW race (with the possible exception of Gnomes, heh).
Well still, I like Derrick! We haven't seen much of him, but from his actions and (especially) facial expressions in what little we *have* seen of him, I'm inclined to guess that his role is that of the "lovable idiot/cute in an idiotic way/idiotic in a cute way". I love those types!
Mordockk Dec 15th 2009 11:30AM
I expect derrick to have a wicked britich accent. a like most brits, horrible teeth...hence the mouth rag.

Cutest Rogue EVER
