I am most definitely still working hard on the comic I promised before. But it is going very, very slowly as slotting posts together, in the right order and in an understandable flow is quite time consuming :P Also I get distracted. By that I mean I'm still half-way through reading the story as is and can't help those "OMG Must draw!" moments that pop up.

Little bit of nitty-gritty: I am NOT a professional comic artist, so yes it will be messy, yes there will be mistakes and yes my handwriting is atrocious :lol: This is a rough piece but I'm pleased with the results. Though it is also a bit of "Am I doing it right?" in terms of human-Kozri. I just let the pencil wander while drawing him :B

Best. First attempt at Zaruuk. Ever. :3 Also, I showed this to my little brother. His reply? "That poor cake." Huh.

Couple of links for the posts this is based on:

Pfahahahahah, Zaruuk looks epic! Looking great so far - my only critique is human anatomy. Our arms typically are long enough to have our fingers reach the middle of our thighs.

Yeah I've always been awkward with arms, bent or straight. Roughs ftw, I'll just keep working at it, thanks :3
Glad you like how Zar came out :D

This... this is amazing. I laughed and caused my cat to stare at me strangely.
Zaruuk now must add cake-destructo-laser-beams to his list of abilities. XD

*Gigglesnorts*

Zaruuk came out really good, nice job!
As for anatomy stuff, all I can suggest is looking at tutorials on DA (I especially recommend this one), searching reference pics (Eg "Guy jumping") or just posing in front of a mirror if you're stuck on poses or if the anatomy looks a bit wonky. It helps a bit if you're ever stuck. ;)

Human anatomy is not my strong point, no help there.

However, Koz looks pretty much as I imagined him. Yay for simple characters! And I remember that scene, and the scenes that followed. Poor pirates, losing their stuff.
