Yes! YES! The tigerS are OUT!

Now the only thing left to do is decide…will you read Fate’s Bane first? Or The Sovereign?

I made a handy flowchart that can help you decide which if you aren’t sure!!!
I might have some very exciting news to share soon!! And for once it's relevant to my English-speaking followers 👀

Vikingtiden fra AAAH! til ÅÅÅH!
Er i butikken frå 27. oktober, det blir RÅTT
Det er litt fornærmende når et av de største forlagene i Norge tilbyr 10.000kr for cover og 10.000kr forskudd på en bok med 40+ illustrasjoner.

Tror de at jeg lever på luft og bor i et telt i skogen? Eller tror de at jeg kan lage 40+ illustrasjoner på 3 dager??
(Dette høres jo veldig rart ut, men det er jo faktisk to karakterer i boka som kun har en hånd)
En av karakterene i bok 6 har feil antall hender i en av rutene. :l

En liten del av meg døde da jeg så det
Kos deg!
Whoop! Endelig ny bok fra @chacsan.bsky.social 🤩 Bare synd det er siste Dragens Øye boka

hun er så karikerbar
Til info for de som bor i nærheten av Oslo så var dette på Kolbotn Tannlegesenter på Sofiemyr. Har gått til dem i mange år nå og er veldig fornøyd!

11) I'm not gonna make it to 21 tonight but my best advice to comic writers honestly is to draw a comic, color a comic, letter a comic. get to know what your colleagues are dealing with. and you will /know/ how to write in a way that your story will make it to where you want it to be

10) 30 pages of prose is not the same as 30 pages of comic script. it's like SUBSTANTIALLY less story. and you gotta make peace with that because trying to cram it in is shooting yourself (and your artist) in the foot and your end result will be disappointing

9) you can edit much more easily than the artist can. if you see something that needs changing in thumbs or pencils, state it then and there. if you don't see it until inks/colors, unless it's integral to the story, give it up. learn to see it earlier

1) action (any variety) will take way more panels/pages than anticipated. give it space
2) make it shorter. make it more meaningful. EVERY line is *precious.* do not waste them
3) if your chars are just conversating, no they aren't. they're eating, leaning, playing with sleeves, scratching noses
Following up on my portfolio critique list: Any of you comics writers who teach feel like coming up with a list of 12 Things You Would Probably Tell an Aspiring Writer about their Comic Script?
Great idea! I'm not the guy to do it, but I'm sure it could be done: "The story starts on page three." "The protagonist's efforts would be more compelling if you established what the stakes are if she fails" etc.
You'd think the first one was obvious, but... no.
Comic Writing Tips That Make The Artist’s Job Easier

🌟 One action per character per panel
🌟 Make pinterest board of visuals/style/inspo you want the comic to evoke
🌟 Use specific refs for panel layouts; I’d rather see “like that one part in Temple of Doom where x” than vague or flowery descriptions

I see it's already out of stock again, so I hope you got it!
It's already sold out again?????????

So glad I panic ordered as soon as my gf told me
The Daggerheart core set is available in the Critical Role EU shop again now!!!

I signed up to be notified when it was back in stock but didn't hear anything and found out through my gf who found out through a random FB group... So spreading the word!
Someone I've never talked to before came up to me at the gym and asked if I could show them how to do an exercise!! Best compliment ever
And they have been saying GM and not DM, soooo... 👀
