Wrath of the Wild - SW Fancomic

FennecFyre · #1 08-16-2016, 05:21 PM

Though the big dam has been destroyed, Stranger is still determined to find and kill Sekto before the former river baron can do the same to him, while at the same time helping the native Grubb re-establish their place in the Mongo. However, both of these tasks are far, far easier said than done, and the arrival of a renegade from downriver with a ruthless bounty hunter hot on their heels, as well as Stranger’s newly-bestowed status as the ultimate trophy hunt, only serve to complicate matters further.

Little project I've started to try and improve my art/storytelling skills, and because SW's lack of a good ending made me go full retard and start trying to brainstorm what happened next. I don't know what kind of schedule updates will come on, but they will come. Probably.

TOC:
I'm gonna link the cover page of each chapter here once I figure out how to do so.

Stand by for the first two pages.

The prologue image looks quite nice. I'm looking forward to seeing how the story unfolds.

These next few pages actually have light sources, so I can stop straining my eyes for a bit. Yay.

Varrok · #9 08-21-2016, 01:14 PM

Can't wait till we get some action!

FennecFyre · #10 08-21-2016, 04:01 PM

Minor hullabaloo coming in about two pages, and a bit after that someone gets jumped by an oktigi. The next chapter will be a little more exciting.

Varrok · #11 08-21-2016, 10:38 PM

Thanks for the spoiler!

Oddey · #12 08-22-2016, 12:21 AM

Is that D. Caste Raider I spy?

Vexen · #13 08-22-2016, 07:02 AM

And it started like many of the artistic masterpiecces before it, with the words "This sucks" inscribed on its pages.

The draft pages I posted in my regular art thread spoiled the first six pages : P

Yup. Canonically, I'm pretty sure he's dead, but for plot purposes I needed a villain who would be likely to have beef against a certain steef (and Blisterz just wasn't cool enough). So, he survived Stranger's beatdown and the subsequent burning of his base. Barely.

I guess with SB and Vy gone you're the only remaining good artist on the forum. And it is really good.

I didn't read it because reading is boring but I looked at it and it looks good (y)

Varrok · #16 08-23-2016, 10:42 AM

Nep's lying.

He just can't read.

Vexen · #17 08-23-2016, 10:48 PM

Then how the fuck did he navigate to this page?

FrustratedAssassin · #18 08-24-2016, 05:25 AM

I know nothing about art in general, but IMO this is really good.

He still can write.

Not much to say with this one aside from "I'm still figuring out how lighting works". And how Outlaw faces work, for that matter.

Oh hey this thing is still going on.

Raider's pissed. And kinda charred too.

Oddey · #22 09-26-2016, 08:57 AM

In the words of Abe: "He was pissed."

It's been a while since I played SW, but I seem to remember him being quite a bit bigger than that though.

FennecFyre · #23 09-26-2016, 11:40 AM

Yeah, Raider and some of the outlaw bosses were pretty big, especially compared to the minions. He's lifted the other guy off the ground in the last panel (it'll be much more apparent in the next page) but my grip on perspective isn't perfect, so I can see why it would look wonky.

Edit: Now I'm laughing because I'm picturing a tiny dwarf Raider aggressively waddling towards a guy and trying to grab them by the throat. Fuck I should draw that.

Jesus man take a chill pill.

Oddey · #25 10-12-2016, 08:58 AM

Do you suppose this new scarring will lead to Raider having a dramatic shift of personality, where half the time he's usual old Steef-hating self and the other half he's suddenly as much a tree-hugging happy-go-lucky guy as the next Grubb? Possibly decided by something like... say the flip of a coin?

Also, good on you, I think he looks about the right size now.

FennecFyre · #26 10-12-2016, 11:03 AM

I did toy with the idea of brain damage induced by a combination of severe burns and Stranger beating the living shit out of him, but right now he mostly just goes between Mean and Meaner.

Sybil Ant · #27 10-30-2016, 05:28 PM

This is awesome! I need moar!

That's all of the pages from the original teaser, so yaaaay I get to finally move the story forward.

Sybil Ant · #29 10-31-2016, 02:40 AM

ooh I love a good twist in the tale! Keep 'em coming, your art is fab!
