1-21 – Watch your Back
Thursday, March 29th, 2007J.D.: I actually had a lot of fun shading Ignatius on this page. I don’t often get to shade wrinkles.
Craig: This page gives the willies. I’m glad Ignatius is covered by word bubbles or I would have refused to draw it. Bleah.
J.D.: Seriously though, characters don’t appear without clothes in Penance unless there’s a reason for it. Ignatius’s reason for his lack of clothes is explained later.
Craig: And back in the prologue, Rex’s clothes had been burned off.
J.D.: I also had a lot of fun with the shading on Ranger in this page. I loved working with the Phial’s glow in the dungeon.
Craig: Yeah, Ranger looks great in panel 2. I love the way you illuminated his face. Getting telepathy in Angband is always an exciting moment for me. It means that my character has made it past the mid-game. Few ever do.
J.D.: However, if you want to get any rest, you need to take it off.
Craig: Yeah, every time a monster moves it interrupts me. Even messing with the disturb options doesn’t seem to help. Any of our savvy readers manage to rest with ESP? I’d love to know your settings. 🙂

I love the irony in panel 5. And Leon’s shirt and facial expression rock in panel 6.
Are Leon’s eyes reflecting green in panel 3… or is it just too late for me right now?

Poor Cronk. 🙁 I’m still crossing my fingers a future incarnation of Cronk gets into one of the later chapters.
There is a little bit of green reflection in panel 3.

If you keep both “disturb when visible monster moves” and “disturb when any monster moves” turned off you should be able to rest with telepathy.
