Caves and Critters - Chap 04 Page 21
One thing makes Theran happier than sex and friends - and that's a shiny, unclaimed axe just waiting to be taken!
Very shiny, given the state of everything else in the cell, mind you.
Artistic flaw or intentional plot factor?

Hehehe
I'm rather liking Theran as a character. I'm not sure how much thought you put into him, but you certianly do like to portray him very well
I'm a writer myself so I know how it can be when creating characters. Some of them take a lot of thought and struggle, and some of them leap off the page, take all your plans for them and twist them head over tail and just take over with their own personality.
I'm curious as to which of your characters were hard thought out and which ones are the ones who just decided to form themselves.

Theran is one of the less 'planned' characters I've ever created, but then, he's kind of an amalgamation of all the cheerful, slightly goofy hero characters I've come up with over the years. When considering how he'd approach a situation, instead of my usual thought process of "assess situation, push aside silly thought, find logical/dramatic/inventive solution", I stop at the "silly thought" point and go with that. He's the sort of person who'd rather kick in the wall before he'd look for a door.
Kharma is just the yang to his yin - the grumpy, sarcastic git who's only going along with it due to his unrequited fascination with Theran's unshakable perkiness. He's a lot more like me as a person, particularly near the end of a late shift at a work when I metamorphose into Captain Sarcasm to everybody I deal with.. :P
Ghargash *was* a hard-thought character, but for this incarnation of the comic he's basically the same guy - just the rare human in a world of furries instead of the other way around, as he was originally. He's a bit more stereotypical than I like to write characters, usually, but I felt he fit, given his role in the story to come.
Duk was, in the original story, a semi-accidental member of Theran's group, coming upon him after certain events and nursing him back to health before helping him re-join with Kharma and the rest of his group. He's been twisted in this rendition to be the calm, balanced opposite to Ghargash's short temper and rash attitude.

Yup I thought Theran wasn't as nearly thought out as Ghargash was (considering his full past and how serious your human character is). Theran sounds like the type to do his own thing regardless of the obstacles
I have a character who changed completely when I went to write her in. She was going to be someone who found out about my other character's secret, and she just brushed everything I thought about her out of the window when I wrote her in. She came storming into the story as a spoiled bratt to a VERY wealthy family who thinks everyone is to bow down to her. I was a little shocked, but went with it, and it worked ...
Anyways, I do rather like how you portrayed Kharma. And every time he has those thoughts of Theran, his eyes go all cute and blushy even for being completely yellow. Hmmm, I'd be tempted to have him have a dream of Theran before they make it official to be a couple Might provide for an interesting little sequence (I realize you have the story pretty much all planned out already, and I'm not telling you to change it). I can see Theran asking Kharma what he's dreaming of, and the sorceror doing that wide-eyed blush and lying about it completely!
As the reader, I haven't really seen Ghargash and Duk enough in the storyline to really feel close to them. It feels like it's more focused on Theran and Kharma ... plus those two are my favourite characters so far.
Maybe when Duk and Ghargash meet up with Theran and Kharma, then things will start to get more interesting.
Either way, I'll keep watching excitedly for your next installment

I am amazed by the light effect on the window in the panels 3-6. One could just have copypasted the pic and put Theran in the back on 4&6. But you changed the light depending on if Theran was here or not. I admire the attention to details. That what makes everything.
Also : Brrr :-/
Beheaded by an axe. I think decapitation is one of the most horrible way to be executed, as it mutilates you horribly. It might be the fastest, it's humiliating and degrading. I mean, if you take a deadly arrow, are hanged, die by asphyxxia, etc.... You're a dead dude. If you're beheaded... you're two piece of flesh.
