Hi,

The comic is actually under development as we speak, I have scribbled (sketched) page 4 this evening. So I just need to ink it and color it. I have many projects going on at the same time including real life, but I will try to stick to a regular update basis.

Comments and suggestions on the comic content is always welcomed.

Best regards/

Hi fellow adventurers,

I am back in the rpg town of the all so addictive Baldur's Gate saga, enjoy my bg fan artwork and comics.

Good speed to you all

Thank you for all you've done for us. It's a pity you are leaving, but I totally understand your decision. It was a natural decision.

I wish good luck and all the best, flysoup!

Welcome back!

Hrrm...bye for good, I suppose.
Why does everyone think that real life means a complete withdrawal from that which one enjoys?
It can be combined...'tis just that no one cares to.

wow! those are very good
such talent,it is too bad the person has left
would have loved to see more

Sarevok looks to have had to much to smoke, pretty funny!

Great Boo death above too. Hey I guess when they won the battle they must have just "squeaked" by eh!

cool! thanks for sharing!

Look at the too for the new location of the comic. It feels good to be back in the realm of sword and sorcery.

welcome back!

All the best to you all in the virtual adventuring business, Good to be back!

Thanks!

But now I am back again and will try to update my art when the reality based life
allows me. I guess I'll only be able to leave the Bg addiction when I am six feet underground.

Many thanks

Great drawings in a great style = great work.

Keep 'em coming!

Thank you, I am really glad you like it!

I have just scribbled on page 9 and will ink it tomorrow if real life allows me
and that I don't give in for my laziness

My style is to use simple lines and not overworking on details. I am trying to
detain a sketchy style since I find it giving more life into the illustrations.
Stiff straight lines constructed with a ruler can sometiomes give a result
of a drawing with a feeling of less life in it.

Sorry for the nerdship there , but I just wanted to share some of my ideas and thoughts
on my way of working.

Good speed to you!

I think too many details sometimes take away from a picture when it's supposed to be a comic. The simple look encourages the reader to look at what is happening and not just at all the minute details. Well, that's my opinion anyway.

I couldn't agree more!

Visit http://bhaalspawn.com/ my friends!

thats cool, keep up the good work

I hope that's decaf. Sarevok certainly doesn't need anything to make him more hyper.

Hehe you are right about that friend. Above that thank you all for the inspiring comments!

Hello all rpg nerds (me included) out there, you can also view samples from the baldur's gate comic at youtube:

Jan and Xzar are my favorites out of those five. Something just doesn't look quite right about Korgan's face. Maybe it's a little too thin? I can't quite place a finger on it. Other than that, it's great and very much in character.

Has anything ever been right with Korgan? Anyway you might be right about Korgans face, it looks a bit twisted in a weird way. Thanks for the constructive criticism from wich I can learn and develop from

To all of you that might have added my comic pages to your computer, I have corrected some typos and other minor text and visual edits on page 3, 10, 11 and 14 so you might want to download those again. The blog will include all the new edited pages.

Peace!

I'm waiting to see how Boo gets shrunk.

So am I hehe, It might even get revealed in the upcoming page, maybe

I'm still following the comics, but I tend to see them at SHS first --- and then I look here to see if this one was updated.

I like Boo's magnificent entrance. It's a good thing he hit Elminster, otherwise there would be no miniature giant space hamster anymore.

Glad you follow it still friend I have the comic at several web pages, trying make a worldwide Baldur' Gate revival
Yea Boo would surely have been splatted if it wasn't for Elminster

Visit http://bhaalspawn.com/ my friends!

WHAT? No Boo?

Boo will show up in time

The Baldur's Gate Comic is now up on facebook:

http://www.facebook.com/people/Baldurs-Gate-Comic/1697671566

Page 5-6 will be changed in the future: Sarevok will be younger and fleeing the scene when his foster mother gets strangled.

And here is the comic from page 46:

[attachment=3674:bg_comic_52.jpg] [attachment=3680:bg_comic_53.jpg]

Oh no! Not Aerie!

Yes Aerie had to play a part to please all the Aerie fans out there. I am more a fan of Viconia

Back into the dark pits of the Underdark as the fate of Viconia continues... I want to share an example on how much the comic improves by prune1 from Spellhold Studios with his text edits. In panel one page 54 I first wrote: "Vicona now wandered the Underdark as a lonely fugitive…" but prune1 massively improved the feeling and the drama with his suggestion: "Exiled, and marked for death, Viconia wandered the Underdark. A fugitive amongst her own kind." So give him some cheering and applauds because with his aid the storyline really improves and also cleans it from my 'Swenglish'. My visual edits and his text edits on page 1-52 will be uploaded on a upcoming webpage for the comic. I also want to thank everyone that has given me constructive criticism on both visuals and story content. I have learned much from that and also adapted many changes based on that. Good speed to you all!

[attachment=3690:bg_comic_54.jpg]

Update: The saga continues; page 56-57, colored on my laptop so the colors looked weird...hopefully it looks ok on your screen
whoever you are. I have also started to use a own created font now.

Credit for layout on page 57 goes to prune 1. I first had the middle panel as the last one without text. prune 1 suggested the current layout that in my mind improved the feeling of the page amazingly!

Hi friends!
The saga continues within the dark pits of the Underdark.
Prune 1 at Spellhold Studios did rewrite the dialogue in panel 4 and it amazingly improved the feeling and quality of the dialogues. Tons of credit for that! I am going to start crafting some intro pages for the comic that will only be presented on the upcoming BG Comic webpage. So the updates will slow down a bit from now on. I hope you all wont forget the comic though because it will start again on a new webpage with a lot of none published pages. I will update some continious pages on the web though but the main focus will be put into the crafting of the upcoming BG Comic page. The comic will be named the Bhaalspawn. So see you soon in a couple of month's on the brand new webpage

[attachment=3727:bg_comic_58_jpeg.jpg]

It's been ages since I last checked here, but I see you've been busy. I'll be sure to take a look when I've got a moment to enjoy it.

Hi there friend!

The comic is here for you when you feel for it I am currently in a visual edit process with some of the pages for the upcoming webpage. Ever since prune 1 joined the script editing I have decided to step up a level in the artwork crafting. I hope that shows in the later pages. All the grammatical corrections will be up on the new webpage.

/peace

The more buildings looks much better, the shading on Sarevok's nose is better too. I might of just added a bright purple line(s) on the swords blade instead all purple. but that is me.

You are right about the sword, I will look into it. Thanks for the constructive critique!

Here is another edit sampe from the Bhaalspawn comic:

Visual edits by me and script edits by prune1 at Spellhold Studios. (Edit page to the right).

Hi, long time no hear aye? Well as I have mentioned my old servant computer dated from the early 90's took his/her last breath. But hear this there is a new small computer in my home now, though I had to connect it with a large monitor. So I can once again start the Bhaalspawn comic together with prune 1 at SHS. Since there has been a massive delay in the website crafting I owe you another teaser page.
