Whew! Made my deadline. :)
Multiple BS detectors going off here. Some internal and some...well, we'll see.
Aaah, finally a snap, been waiting months for that
Those of you who are board game enthusiasts like me, you might be interested to now I am working on a Prydain map for RISK.
Are you familiar with Sillysoft Games' open source Risk games Lux Deluxe and Lux Alliance? A Prydain map would be a welcome addition to the library.
Love Taran's reflection in the hilt in the last panel. Sneaky bit of doing in art what authors do in story. I'm struck again by how well Alexander developed Taran over the series. I love the message that a person can grow and change and become someone else. Maybe that's vague, but I don't want to spoil.
You are the first to notice, or at least mention, his reflection. I wasn't sure whether to be pleased or disappointed in my own use of subtlety! Haha.
Yaay, Fflewddur's harp speaks up at last! Always loved that. Dyrnwyn details lovely in the last panel. Taran's face, but also the beauty of the blade despite the scratches on the scabbard.
Wait - are we looking at the blade itself or the scabbard?
As evidenced by the fact that they are all alive, this is the scabbard! ;) Silly!
Oh crap, you're absolutely right! Forgot that Dyrnwyn doesn't let just anyone pull him out.
Anyway, nice scabbard!
*lol* you go, Eilonwy!!!
...oh, what was that snap sound???
So, Eilonwy can use it - great =)
Eilonwy's shifting facial expression in the third, fourth, and fifth panels is wonderful. I haven't seen many comic-style artists who can portray such subtle shifts as well as you do. Her BS detector is obviously almost as finely tuned as the magical one Fflewder's wearing slung over his shoulder.
