What’s that thing lying between Col and Aloys, a square-tailed lamia? Looks freaky as hell…
It started life as a fully tailed snake thing, (I played this game once, Exile2: Crystal something or other. Or it could be Crystal something or other 2: Exile. I know Crystal, Exile, and the number 2 were involved in the title in some manner. Anyway, there were this snake tailed characters in the game, I forget what they were called.) But anywhoo, I thought it’d make a nice addition to Torgo, unfortunately, this little guy was in an unfortunate cart accident as a child.
A cyclops spooked an ass which bolted across the road, scaring a domesticated diminutive-wooly mammoth who turned the corner, jack-knifing the heavy wagon he was hauling. The wagon flipped, crushing out right a pixie (he was dick so no one cared,) and smashing the tail of this little guy under it.
The wagon was eventually turned up right and moved away, but the damage was done, amputation was called for, and things have never been the same.
I also might have erased too much when cleaning up the picture.
…I’d go for the former. Have no idea why, just sounds a tad more realistic to my ears. I mean, between choosing to create a backstory for a one-shot character FAR more complex than any of the actual protagonists, and simply admitting artistic failure, I know I’d stick to the former, but now I’m just rambling, still, great page as always, keep up the good work, Mick!
P.s. While I’m still writing, on what days will the comic update from now on? Three times a week? Four?
P.p.s. Do you mean naga? (the snake things)
Naga! Yes! That sounds right.
My heart says Tuesday/Thursday because of the symmetry that offers, but Mondays/Wednesdays are typically my best days. But, Friday gets no love in either of those scenarios, and I hate to leave it out completely so at least I’ll give it a mention here.
