Hey guys. I wasn't able to start on the Thousand Sons piece last month, so I will be doing it this month. I'm thinking of doing  a comic style piece for this one and wanted a more open dialog with you guys in the creation process.

The original prompt that was voted on was: "Tzaangors and mutant heretics of the Thousand Sons desecrate a chapel by turning it into a breeding kennel for captured guardswomen, Sisters, and one tech preistess. Some are defiant, some are afraid, and even a few broken with swollen  bellies. Traitor hospitallers aiding those furthest along and some willingly participate in the dark union."

I think a short (4-6 page) comic would be a great way to show some different ways the Thousand Sons / Tzaangors have desecrated the temple. I'll be writing an outline and posting it in the next couple of days, but if you guys have any ideas you'd like me to include please let me know. I'm not super knowledgeable in Warhammer Lore, so if you guys have any ideas on where the chapel should be located, how the chaos forces would appear and stuff like that it'd be pretty helpful.

Another thing that I'd like to bring up was the Laudna x Imogen comic that was done for February. It seemed like the comic didn't do as well as well as I'd like. If you guys had any critique for it (maybe on the writing, art, or anything at all really!), I'd love to hear it.

I've also been told that Discord would be a good way for discussions to happen so I've made one: https://discord.gg/k3mwVFFjGR

Feel free to join. It's bare bones right now, but would allow for you guys to share images as well as comments which would be a huge advantage over Patreon.

You do really wonderful backgrounds - the Thousand Sons and their Tzaangors tend to live on bizarre planets with impossible geography in the background. I'd say focus on geometric shapes and bright colors, but keep it somewhat minimalist and abstract with regard to details. Remember that Thousand Sons Rubric Marines (their basic footsoldiers) are just dust trapped in armor and are therefore unable to participate in debauchery. Sorcerors themselves could, but Space Marines are typically depicted as somewhat asexual. A sorcerer would be more likely to summon a demon or direct his servants to partake. Tzaangors are definitely ravening beasts though, they'd do whatever. Finally, I quite liked the comic (although I have been so busy I haven't really had time to provide detailed feedback). I think it was quite short, which is definitely a difficult constraint to workaround; art takes time. It seemed to go from stage to stage somewhat abruptly. I quite like the way you build narrative with art and I would like to see some longer-form work that can stretch over a dozen pages or more.

Did all I just post delete itself?

Not your bussines

Well finally I have the time to give my two cents on the comic. First of all, it was far from bad, just not as good as so many of your other works. Like Ovi said, the pacing felt a little off, but that isn't really the biggest critique point for me. In my opinion the whole composition of the panels was not really on par with what you are capable of. I use now the Vex and Keyleth Mind Flayer picture as an example, because of the similar thematic. Now sure, the one is a comic and the other one a standalone picture, of course we talk about much different time investments here. Just to get the point across. In comparison the standalone has so much more detail an care put into it, that it tells with just one frame more of a narrative than all the panels of the comic. On the positive side the comic had some real strong points, Imogens clothes getting ripped off was great and could surely gotten more stages in the following panels. Just because you are that amazing at drawing ripped and torn clothing. Story wise my only critique would be that I am not that big of a fan of mind control but that is just personal taste. I guess the two big points that held the comic down were that some things moved to fast and the whole situation needed some more time to build up and the mentioned difference in overall art quality to your more superior works. Now maybe I am extremely bias but I think your standalone pictures are of much higher quality than your comics. What would interest me now, would be the time difference that is needed between a standalone picture like Vex and Keyleth or the Warhammer Nakari Orgy and a three page comic like Laudna and Imogen. I hope that this can help you in the future and I would really like to hear your thoughts on these points and I am curious what you might cook up next!
