92 -> '25 #throwback #artprogress Original is from a story called
'Blade and Shame' published in a local b&w zine back in '92 called "TanGo Ray", not my first published work, but '92 was the first year I ever got published. (cont'd)
#artsky

ink and digital color of warrior swinging huge sword around his back to kill everyone, a wave of blood fills the screen, while smoke/steam streams from a pile of rocks in front of him

label text i added reads
" inked in '92
digitally colored '02 "

black and white ink and wash on paper, shows very similar composition a the last pic of warrior swinging huge sword around his back to kill everyone with much higher detail and a demon goblin getting a sword shoved into his skull with eyeball shooting out in the foreground

label text I added reads
"
re-mastered in '25
don't
give
up
"

A couple more violent panels from '92, one showing a head being sliced in half in the foreground and you can follow the blood to the sword being swung by a silhouette of a warrior in the background, and another panel that shows the warrior holding up one of the masked soldiers by their neck, and you can see someone trying to reach up a bloody blade in the foreground

word bubble from guy being choked says
"Wait!! No so fast, what about..Eck...what about our contract!?"

label text I added says

"a couple more panels I wouldn't mind redoing"

When they think the softened and hedged version of your accent, formed by years of misunderstanding and google voice type freezing up, is your real accent

"Why don't you speak in your accent?"

"I love your accent"

"You don't need to code switch around us."

Then you let them hear your real real

There's also parts I prefer on the original from '92. Like for one I think it works better on the more narrow digest page as opposed to the magazine format of the re-mastered version. But as you can see I've had a thing for epic fighting scenes for a while. 🩸🗡️😺🤘🩸

⛧Melanie Strangemoon⛧ @m1strb.bsky.social · 1d

Then this year I used that scene for a new story called 'Bone Black Bastard' that you can read in a new anthology "Brutal Blade of Crom vol.3" put out by Just Jamie Comics, along with a bunch of other great artists....(cont'd)

Then in 2002 I digitally toned and redid the lettering so it could be published again in an anthology, and then it was released again when I released a collection of childhood era comics. I thought it would look better, but honestly wish I kept the original wobbly handwriting of mine (cont'd)
