Sorry that I haven’t been as active in comments on this site and other webcomics lately. Between having a nasty cold for the past month, busy work schedule, and the collapse of the US executive branch, I run out of spoons often. Most of my effort goes into getting these comic pages done.

Production Notes

Everyone laughs at the ancient cow shields, until it’s too late.

That thing getting used as a gag is the archer’s wrist guard.

Another interesting detail is that some of the fancy beaded necklaces didn’t hook in back like their modern equivalents. They had a counter weight hanging down behind, as seen in the first panel above.

Each page usually starts life as a clone of a previous page. This way all the paper textures, panel boxes, and file metadata are all ready to go. Lately I’ve been using the Lazy Nezumi Pro plug-in for Photoshop to smooth my lineart and use its handy perspective rulers for things like these zip line.
