I really like this page. I like seeing the function of Valentin's ambulatory bouquets, I like how he has to cross his arms over his knees because they are just too long to do anything else with. I like "What the crowd provides" (ominous) and I like Will being a spaz who just needs to get off Lilleord's nuts.

For the duel I experimented with a dry brush for some panels, like the last one here, and it reminds me of in old anime how it would sometimes switch to pans across charcoal-rendered static illustrations. There were shots in the original Berserk series like that :3 Know the ones I mean?

Kickstarter starts at some point tomorrow! You know I'll update again when it's live :)

Nope Noperson

That shoulder-horn pauldron thing is giving me unpleasant Crucible Knight flashbacks.

Michael Stakely

Less with the yapping, more blood-tapping, Will. Also the fact that they have to specify "No leeching" in this type of contest? These Aldish are crazy.

Ashley

Well, you know, the lads get carried away.

Gally

A MOBILE SEAT BC HES TOO BIG OH MY GOD I LOVE IT HAHAHA now thats one way to deal with it. he's just the copper version of that annoying guy who brings a folding camping chair everywhere he goes and bragsa bout it

"The bowels of diplomacy" is a phrase I will try to use in real life.

Ashley

Some political stunts are diverticulitis in the bowels of diplomacy; some are a nice laxative.

Babygirl..................my darling step-daughter..................................i love you.......................................but your choices.......................................... also kickstarter tomorrow??????? I thought it was Tuesday!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Get off his nuts, Will!! Poop democracy is INCREDIBLE. Also I love the little bouquet freak chair, holy crud. And Rousseau's dumb little fist clench! Haha look at all these weirdos. I'm so excited for this sequence. Also you nailed it with the charcoal on the last one! I got the feeling immediately.

Stillpoint

No piggyback rides from that guy :(

Noto

Also what is that weird little pose """Lilleord""" is doing in the fourth panel? He looks like he's setting up to volleyball

Taerjaga

Seat people? Really?! Ima start callin' him Big Red Bruno.

forlornfoe

So that is what the flower kids were carrying, a damned portable chair. I adore the "rushed" line art, very fitting for fast action scenes and likely a biased opinion since I consider Berserk the greatest manga ever created.

Ashley

Yeah, far as I know it's tomorrow! Probably a little later in the day? No one told me :(

Ashley

That's called "First Position." In a regular duel, your opponent can demand you assume "First Position" at any time, to prove you are still capable of continuing the fight. If you can't, you're out. We saw Duane and Quigley doing this during their duel way back early in the last book :)

Dying Ace

It sorta does hah! The hand positioning reminds of early chapter of previous book where Quigs and Duane dueled. "Lillelord" doing pymary dueling etiquette I guess.

Jeremy Ball

Talking about "the bowels of" anything when you just sat on a kid is not an accident.

Rainwalker

I like the look of the last panel! In other news, I miiiiight have gotten a case of da shits that’s going around, so this is a properly poopy page to complement it :P

Ashley

I hope it's just regular shits D: I usually visit the local salad bar on Sundays as a treat, and I had never before seen it so immaculately clean and untouched as today. I took a chance on dat lettuce.

Karvil

In a nice (if surprising!) move, I in Canada got my books from campaign one two work days before campaign two launches!

McCord Hall

I am as well 😭 Ashley's publisher fighting!!

JarJar

GOT MY BOOKS LAST WEEK AND I LOVE THEMmm! I especially like the new Ana and Knock story. It’s been a minute since we had a straight up duel like this? Really excited to see how it plays out, especially with our girl in there (carrying the team).

Ashley

I'm glad they're slowly rolling out! It's so awkward to be launching another Kickstarter while the first one's still in active fulfillment x_x

Ashley

Yeah! Glad the books arrived! :D I like how gory that Ana and Knock story is, it was cathartic.

Josh

This is indeed a great page. And the charcoal action rush blur comes off beautifully. What the crowd provides... "I gotta say, 'Lilleord,' that was amazing when you knocked him out with, what was that, some kind of sulphuric acid blast?" "Methane. Sucked up all the ambient fart aspect from everyone for a concentrated Ultra-Fart Crescent Slash."

Rainwalker

Morning report: I’m feeling better now, so I think it was just a one-off :D Fingers crossed for your lettuce being on the safe side, too

Gifting Stray

Oh that shot of him in the first panel is wonderful. I'm making a necromancer for Pathfinder and I'm gonna use that for the look.

jumanji-mongie

I love the look of the last panel! And did Valentin breed those Plats just to serve as a portable chair?? It’s so monstrous and so extra. Not too different from how we have bred some animals for transportation and other purposes though.

Rob N

Also, the way he's literally treating his servants as if they were objects says a lot about Aldish society and the Coppers' and Plats' respective place in it...

Ashley

They are his little valets; they can do more than just serve as his chair, but his old bones do appreciate that function.
