Comic #101: Training (Patreon)

Originally published: July 22, 2007

Look, I drew a horde character! The number one reason I so rarely draw horde is because I find them hard to draw and I'm lazy. In my style, drawing mouths takes about 10 seconds. Horde races, for whatever reason, often have giant teeth sticking out of their mouths. This makes the mouth moderately more complicated to draw and becomes a giant hassle.

I also just noticed the symbol on the Orc's tabard and was trying to place it. Hilariously, I had to search around to try to figure out what the hell the symbol was THAT I DREW. Turns out, it's the symbol for the Deathly Hallows, which is a Harry Potter reference.

I figured it couldn't possibly be a Harry Potter reference, because the Deathly Hallows is from book 7, and surely book 7 came out way more recently than THIRTEEN years ago, right? Nope. I looked it up, and book 7 came out July 21st, 2007. Literally the day before this comic. I must have read it in one sitting like a lunatic, and then put it in my comic like a giant nerd.
