The Water Phoenix King

I’m still rebuilding my buffer, but I’m happy with things so far. This page turned out well. The middle panel has a bunch of characters who will become important later. (And yes, there are a bunch of discs with thrones on them just kind of floating around Karrd.) Also, it’s fun to mess around with format changes. Even though I’ll probably stick with variations of the 3×3 grid throughout WPK (it makes for good discipline), I like including soliloquies, letters, and so on, and I’ll probably have more of those in the future. Oh, and yes, the stelae outside the inn, of which you can see one, is new.

Moderately happy with the softer shadows. It’s something I’ll need to work on, since I fear if I get clumsy with them they’ll make my art look too muddy.
