your stuff looks real professional. I like the lightning (and the arcane) the white parts really are boldly pronounced

Thank you for the kind and inspiring words!

AAAAaaaaaaGH!!! I see that the last panel on the prologue page has ant in the text frame rather than and...that is what happens when one edits at the late hours when the eyes are blood red and the mind is misty. Forgive me for this, everything will be fixed for the Bhaalspawn website as I will do my best to look over every page twice. It wouldn't be fair otherwise since prune1 has contributed with the writings/edits and other suggestions improving the comic with 200%. And I keep messing it up since I am too eager to share it with you all...So forgive me for this...

Another teaser from the upcoming Bhaalspawn comic website. Remember to thank prune1 at SHS for the excellent writing and script ideas. Bhaalspawn coming in a near future at a website just a few clicks from you! Creators: Michael: artwork/script prune1: script/edits. Thank you all that reads the comic!

(I will post the future teasers in this reply until the Bhaalspawn website is up)

Teasers until it's up? Then let's hope it never goes up!

(Just kidding, of course!)


I can't believe it's been two months since I said I'd look at the comics and I'm just getting around to it now. They look good, as always, especially the recent edits that you've shown. The edit of the gnome/Boo comic seems to steer slightly away from the more comical effect (like the non-circular moon) but it certainly does look more realistic. I assume that's what you're driving at.

I agree to that the page you mention steer away from the overall comic style I have used before. I will try not to be too confusing in my artwork. I guess I am currently trying some new grounds in my art. I am glad that you still pop by to read/watch the Bhaalspawn comic friend!

And here are some more character presentation teasers from the upcoming Bhaalspawn comic website.

Good speed to you all!

Nice work

Thanks friend

So another year is about to be counted away and I hope that you all are well and I look forward and hope to hear from you all next year. Anyway here is Chibi Drizzt with his Chibi Guenhwyvar sending his greetings from the Forgotten Chibi Realms.

The Bhaalspawn comic website is put on delay, but fear not I will keep posting teasers until it goes live. Artwork/Script: Michael Script/Script edit: prune1

Here is yet another teaser of the Bhaalspawn prologue. Remember that the current teaser pages that I have updated doesn't come in chronological order. I come up with idead as the progress goes on. They will be in order on the upcoming website though I wonder when the site is at due? Have patience my friends and many thanks goes to the person that actually struggle with the construction of the website. Until then the teasers will keep coming at you Artwork/Script: Michael Script/Script edit: prune 1

(Oh I know, no need making a new post for every teaser, I just wanted to share the issues above.)

[attachment=3824:bhaalspawn_jpeg_04.jpg]

And here is another teaser from the upcoming Bhaalspawn webcomic. Remember that the pages haven't been updated in a chronological order. Also many pages haven't gone through the visual improvement edits yet. The older updates are not grammatical corrected nor visually improved. All those issues will be corrected on the upcoming website. So I guarantee you a new experience there both visually and the script.

Another sample from the visual edit progress of the Bhaalspawn comic. Completely redid this page from scratch. Will probably add a sound effect to the neck snapping.

man I am jealous of your talent, as usual great lookin' stuff

I thank you for the kind words my friend Drawing is a language we all can learn, I am still learning and have developed a lot thanks to all the forum members giving inspiring comments (such as yours )and constructive criticism. Thank you all for giving time to my artwork!

he Bhaalspawn webcomic is up running! So if you are a fantasy geek or just a bit into pointed ears and bearded stocky females then head in to bhaalspawn.com. Artwork/Script: Michael Hansson Script/Script edit: prune 1 Baldur's Gate is a bioware copyright and Dungeons and Dragons is a Wizards of the Coast copyright. We will try to update at least once a week. The webpage will be developed further in the future. But for now you can at least read the comic. So my friends bhaalspawn.com is the place to head to from now on
Thank you all for the feedback and encouraging words. You have all helped to inspire me and to make me develop!

Good speed!

Another page has been updated at: http://bhaalspawn.com/ I will keep updating at sundays (starting next sunday). The future plan is to update both mondays and sundays. Feel free to stop by for some reading or just to leave a comment. Good speed!

Hi friends,

Hi, for now I will be updating the Bhaalspawn webcomic 1-2 times per week and the days of them might vary. So if you are a fantasy geek or just interested in tales including trolls, beasts and crazy gods then head in to: http://bhaalspawn.com/

Other than that I'll keep posting bg related artwork here that may not be published on the bhaalspawn site so keep on stopping by here for character illustrations and other fantasy geeky stuff

Good speed and safe adventuring/
Michael H Bhaalspawn

Hi friends!

Another update at http://bhaalspawn.com/

I will keep inform you about updates until RSS is implemented on the Bhaalspawn site.

See you there friends!

Feel free to comment on the site as well Apart from that I feel very honored to the fact that you all read the comic and
to the ones that has sticked with me and the development of the comic. And a huge welcome to the new arrivers as well!

Many thanks!

I haven't looked at the comic yet (keep logging in here too late!) but I'm sure all the drawing will be just as excellent as I've seen here. Keep it up! I'll drop by sometime and have a look.

Hi friend! I would be honored if you would drop by.

Another fresh update at: http://bhaalspawn.com/ A introduction page for the next chapter. All so you get in mood for the upcoming page updated sometime during the next week.

Hi,

After some thinking back and forth I have now decided a new name for the protagonist and also a way to change his appearance without having to redraw him from scratch in all the old pages. I am actually editing all the old pages so that they get closer to the level of the newly crafted pages. I have to do this since the old pages are much sloppier done than the newer ones.
Anyway, browse in to http://baldursgatecomic.blogspot.com/ for finding out about the new name and the visual edit of the protagonist.

Thanks for the feedback

Forget my ramblings about changing the appearance of the protagonist. Someone must have manipulated me with some wicked spell. It is dispelled now and the protagonist is back in his true appearance though the name will still be Arwan. Well I will head back in to the crafting of the Bhaalspawn tale now and hopefully there will not be any more interruptions along the adventuring road. Have faith companions and prepare for epic adventuring alongside the crew of Arwan.

Hi friends and fellow fantasy dwellers!

The Bhaalspawn webcomic has been updated.

So what are you waiting for? Jump off your squirrel wheel and head in to the forgotten realms
and feed your inner fantasy geek at: http://bhaalspawn.com/

A bonus for you all here at Black Wyrm lair is a illustration I made of Volo.

Hi fellow adventurers and fantasy dwellers, another update has been published for you to enjoy and the action is on at:

http://bhaalspawn.com/

The Bhaalspawn comic updates randomly, once a week.

I have tried and tried clicking on to see more than the first and latest is there more or just those all the time?
I am using firefox.

Use the "skull arrow" (left and right), it gets highlighted when you move the cursor over it.

yeah I tried that but it just reloads the pic with the guy w/ claws and a cape.
when I click the latest I get the baby an bear pic.

Strange...it have worked in the browsers we tried, including safari,firefox and explorer. Please tell me if this issue continues.
Anyway the comic has been updated today so start casting the spells and swing your steel and journey in to: http://bhaalspawn.com/

Hi friends, fellow fantasy dwellers and monsterslaying lovers out there. My quest to spread the Bhaalspawn webcomic goes on. If you like that quest then please vote for it here: http://topwebcomics.com/?searchterm=bhaalspawn

If you do this maybe once a month or every 24th hour then perhaps that could be one step further in the Baldur's Gate revival mission and the Bhaalspawn growth.

Please inform me if there are other good ways to spread the comic as well.

Many thanks to all of you that read the comic and shares feedback! The comic wouldn't have developed like it has without you all. I am ever grateful for all the constructive critique and inspiring words that has helped me to improve the comic to what it is today. I would also like to thank prune 1 for his aid in the script and edits of it along with other suggestions in the design. And remember the comic still develops.

Good speed and all the best/
Michael H Bhaalspawn

Hi my friends.

Dire news this evening, (well not that dire if you compare to what goes around in the world today). Yet my imac joined the fallen and the photoshop/illustrator with it. That means that I lost one installation since you need to delete the registry information on the computer if you want to be able to install the adobe programs again...I will leave the computer for reparations and all this will result in delays of the Bhaalspawn updates since this was my working computer. Hopefully the adobe programs can be restored...I bet that some Bhaal cultists has plotted against me trying to prevent my documentations of the Bhaalspawn saga.

All the best and thanks for all the feedback with the Bhaalspawn webcomic/
Michael

Hi my friends!

Long time no hear? Well, my "working" computer is still being repaired...Yet I can't wait for it anymore due to that the urge to continue the Bhaalspawn crafting is to strong. I decided to keep trucking with the comic
on a very small laptop with a 13 sized screen. And the colors looks a bit different on it.
Well, with the lame excuses presented I have completed another page for you to lay eyes on at:

http://bhaalspawn.com/

I hope that you my dear readers will still give the comic a read even though it has been far to delayed.
You are my driving force in this project at the side of my Baldur's Gate addiction.

All the best to you/
Michael H Bhaalspawn

good stuff as usual, keep it up!
I figgured out why the site was not working for me; I surf w/o cookies unless I have to login on a secure site.

Aha, thanks for letting me know :-)

Another update of the Bhaalspawn webcomic at: http://bhaalspawn.com/
The comic has been slow in updates but that will change since the working computer has been repaired, finally! Yet the comic will take a summer vacation for a month but will be back after that and the first update will include several pages. The adventuring road has been tough with all the monsters dwelling on the road and at the side of it. We need to regain strength over some ales at the tavern so we can continue the epic adventuring and monster slaying again in a month. Until then have it well and thousands of thanks for giving the comic an eye or two!

Hi friends and fellow fantasy dwellers. The comic is having a summer vacation but will be back in August with plenty of new pages, more frequent updates, rss feed and other goodies. Still some teasers will pop up at: http://baldursgatecomic.blogspot.com/ Minor spoilers but I feel that you will need something to lay your eyes on during the holiday. Hope that you all will come back after the summer and maybe bring some new friends with you. I am forever thankful for the readers that has stuck with me during the Bhaalspawn process. See you soon and have a wonderful summer adventure whatever you chose to do like playing awesome computer games or going abroad playing with your plastic duck in the great sea. Best regards/ Michael H Bhaalspawn.

Hey all! Long time no hear, I hope that you all are well and wanted to inform you that I am jumping back on the Bhaalspawn train after a slack summer holiday now with 3 new fresh pages updated. Hopefully you haven't forgot about the comic and are willing to jump on it with me again and maybe bring new fantasy dwellers with you, so spread the word. Hear ye hear ye! The Bhaalspawn Saga has awaken! http://bhaalspawn.com/

Hey there friends! another update has been published at http://bhaalspawn.com/ I am slowly but surely getting back into the artwork process after a far to long plateau….. Please don’t fail your hope on me, I so want to succeed in the portrayal of the Bhaalspawn saga together with you all. I am so thankful for all the feedback and constructive criticism that has helped me to get inspiration and develop in my comic crafting.

/Michael H Bhaalspawn

Any word from FlySoup? I noticed the comic site was down last time I checked.

Hi virtual adventurers and fellow Baldur's Gate addicts, after years of absence from the artcrafting, I have now crawled back and the Baldur's Gate based comic named Bhaalspawn now hosts at; www.baldursgatecomic.thecomicseries.com

Welcome back! Glad to see you again. I just checked your updated comic -- it looks really great!
