Everyone, we have Des and Crimson idea sketches come in today. Think of them like rough drafts with options.

I have some feedback for the artist to get closer to what I think they look like, but I'm going to check with all of you to make sure that these are the character's you invision.

Also, for webcomic speed this artist is absolutely fantastic.

Sorry for the peach background.

Solid groundwork being laid. In my minds eye the hair over Des' eye is the other eye, especially because of DD101 cover, but it's a minor thing.

Wow those look great!

They look good! The only critic I have is Des's right hand. Did she dislocate her thumb to get it so high? It just looks out of proportion.

Stormking

In my extremely unprofessional opinion that looks damn good.

That Crimson braid looks like a tripping hazard. I'm pretty curious as what the balance will be in costume design between looking good and practicality. How well do high heels work in swamp and sand dune battles? Someone's going to turn an ankle.

Crimson's an extremely high level adventure, with skills that make her a monster to even other high-level adventurers. I'm pretty sure she doesn't have to worry about mundane concerns like that, given she's in a magical rpg verse.

Well, she does use that piece of red leather to keep the braid tight or else "it was a complete mess when fighting in the dungeon." Maybe hair ties made from red dragon leather give special magical perks.

I thought that just meant the hair becomes messy. The point is that this isn't like a relatively grounded urban fantasy with characters that are basically human but can cast some spells. The magic of the dungeon literally gives them video game skills and powers. I doubt twisting an ankle in heels or tripping on a braid is a concern even for adventurers less powerful than Crimson. A real world combat concern like that doesn't apply. Hell the speed at which they move should tear their bodies apart.

I’d have thought Des was bustier, since she’s described as having ‘weapons grade tits’. Personally I prefer this Des! Crimson looks good too! Though I always pictured her in more figure hugging armour, with knee high boots. I agree, heels aren’t practical. And while the superhuman feats high level adventurers are capable of are great, they started at level 1 like everyone else. I honestly don’t see women hampering themselves like that from level 1, and by the time they’re high enough level to reasonably adapt to fighting in heels etc they’re too smart to make that switch. This world is function over form incarnate as far as I’m concerned (and I thank Bruce for that!). And while I’m sure some women hit level 20 or whatever and decide to hamper themselves, Crimson is too much a dungeonhead to do that! Least I hope she is…

Late comment, but I expected Des to have more Hispanic features. Was that just my imagination or was there something in the text that alluded to it?
