Description Kay, this was the last part. Comment time!

For a long time I felt so uninspired to draw comics. I've been saying that "I'm working on a comic" ever since Civil War ended, and for a long time, I did. But it just became shit. So sometime around Chirstmas I was like: "Fuck this! Fuck proper script, fuck long epic story, fuck drama, fuck trying to be so god damn pretentious!"

So I just sat down and drew and this thing came out. The drawing didn't take long, but I wasn't able to finish the shading and stuff until recently. I dunno if it's actually good, but I kinda like it anyway. Hope you enjoyed it somewhat.

I'd say you did an excellent job. The comic has a nice feel to it, something that makes you want to continue reading. I've meaning to see what you've been up to since Civil War, and the recent things with ManyWorlds finally got me around to it.

Yeah .. like you see. I haven't been up to much since civil war. When it comes to comics, that is (it might change soon though, thanks to ManyWorlds, even though I didn't get it).

And thank you, that's really nice to hear. Glad you liked it.

Ahh wow, I can't tell you how much I love this comic and your style! I just read "It's a hard life" and a link somewhere around there brought me here to enjoy more.
However, I have a minor complaint... in my opinion, the font style isn't fitting with the comic. I read somewhere that you write it in Swedish and then translate, so I gotta apologise if the original was all beautifully handwritten.

Aw, thank you. It's really nice to hear that (glad you enjoy it's a hard life as well).

I'm afraid my handwriting is everything but beautiful. Or readable. Which is the main reason for the fonts. You're not the first one to complain though so I know about the problem, but I just have no idea what other font to use (and been to lazy to try to find one). Oh, well. Thanks for your comment anyway, I think I'll try to find some new font for my next comic.

Åh, intressanta karaktärer och fin berättarstil. Blir sugen på att rita serier själv när jag läser det här. Hur lång tid tog den att göra? Bilderna ser liksom... genomarbetade ut, samtidigt som de har ett visst flow och ser ut som om du gjorde dem rätt fort. Det är en bra sak!

Qlockwork In reply to SirPaahdin [2011-10-09 15:09:43 +0000 UTC]

Hmmm, svårt att säga. Skissade nog upp det på typ två veckor eller så. Kanske en och en halv? Jag jobbade rätt så frekvent. Akvarellen vet jag inte eftersom jag spridde ut arbetandet under typ 9 månader. xP Men jo, jag ritade dem rätt fort ja.

Och tack för kommentaren, kul att höra att du gillade den. Och du har ju din egen serie på gång, rita på den.

Helbra, hörru. Unik story, lagom längd, fungerar fint med din stil. Två tummar upp!

Did you perchance have neighbours at Wik's playing instruments while you (tried) painting?

Haha, när du väl nämner det .. Simon brukade spela på sin altsax och det lät inte alltid bra. xD Det tänkte jag inte ens på.

SirThresher [2011-09-28 04:02:24 +0000 UTC]

This was good!
Characterisation and scripting was cool

Also, was the fiddler your Civil war entree?
I'm fairly certain it was.

The quality was nice and consistent, but I think your perspectives and buildings could do with a little work, especially with how they relate to characters.

Qlockwork In reply to SirThresher [2011-09-30 11:28:17 +0000 UTC]

Yes it was, I've not been able to let her go since then.

Yeeeeaaah, well this was just a doodle so I didn't bother trying to make any proper backgrounds or perspectives (I dunno if that's a good excuse since I almost never put effort in background when I do comics). But thanks for your comment anyway, glad you enjoyed it.

Qlockwork In reply to KaiserWilliams [2011-09-25 15:49:04 +0000 UTC]

Yeah. I've been thinking up stories about what she'd do after the war and such and this is supposed to be a couple of years later. I imagine her to have grown a bit as a person by then.

And made her way to Sweden I take it? = P

Wonder what stops there were on the way.

Maaaybe, I've not really decided if the world from this comic is supposed to be the "real world".

Well, I've not really decided on anything .. just thinking about it for fun sometimes. Probably won't do anything about i though ...

KaiserWilliams In reply to Qlockwork [2011-09-25 22:46:54 +0000 UTC]

Well, the mention of Kroner tipped me off. Though I suppose it could be taking place in a different world where Sweden has conquered vast territories and imposed its currency.

Qlockwork In reply to KaiserWilliams [2011-09-26 00:15:47 +0000 UTC]

yeeah, that thing ... I kinda wrote it in swedish at first and when I translated it I thought it wouldn't really matter which kind of money I used, it would still place the city somewhere on a map so I just thought kronor was as good as anything. xP

Riktigt bra! gillar när helgonet kraschar in genom fönstret.

en del stavfel här och där dock. i tredje delen så var dom sista sju rutorna upprepade också, du kanske vill fixa det.

Ja, jo, det är vad jag får för att vara för lat för att läsa igenom det jag gjort. Fixar de där rutorna nu, men stavfelen orkar jag inte bry mig om.

Tack så mycket i alla fall, kul att du gillade den.
