A series for
zamael based off the game Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup! A role-playing like game with exploration, quests, mysterious dungeons and treasures!
With a reluctant twitch from her nostrils, Sonja puts on the Ex-Slave Master's clothing. None too clean herself, it'll have to do until she can find herself a nice warm bath and wash away the smells and stains of the day!

More like an episode. I don't know the game that inspired this, so there is no "inside humor" for me. While the characters are attractive in some ways,
they don't hold a lot of magic for me. The gal with the gun and the poison darts seems a little bit of a gimmick. Both characters are nude (I went back and double checked the staging)
Where did the blow gun and darts comer from? Acme?
I know, I know. She cast a spell.
Everyone's favorite dodge.
If she is a spell caster, why didn't she use her power to keep from being captured in the first place?
If the one who is holding her (I forget his name;Really memorable character, huh?) has the power to keep slaves, you think there might be a few, say Guards, around, just for laughs? (Most evil overlords have a few minions floating around somewhere.) What happened to them? Extended coffee break, maybe? Or did she just "magic up" enough darts at the same time to stun everyone in one shot, which is lucky enough to hit everyone, everywhere, at exactly the same time, and (Kill??) everyone else within a square mile or so, such that the freed slaves can all wander around naked (chuckle chuckle) while she is the only one that "escapes" with clothes on??
Who writes this stuff?
The art is good, but the reason for the art is totally wasted. If you're going to do art to go with a story, why not take a half a minute and make sure the story that you're going to hang the art on makes some kind of sense to anyone who sees it, rather than someone who might know whatever obscure game the art, story, and characters might be based upon?
I like your style, but in this case, I think it was completely wasted.
The only saving grace is that for the most part, the "audience" for which this sort of (sorry but..) tripe is intended does not have the mentality to think with the "heads" attached to their necks.
*sigh*

It's okay if you don't get it, rocistone. Luckily for everyone involved, this tripe wasn't meant for you, so it's not a huge loss. The commissioner got what he wanted and those who are in the loop understand what's going on perfectly well. But wait right there, rocistone! I know just what you're thinking!
But otterface, you bleat piteously, it just isn't fair! I operate on the woefully misguided opinion that when other people spend their own money on commissions for themselves they should pause and ask themselves if what they want is compatible with my selfish notion of how things ought to be!
Believe me, rocistone, my heart bleeds for you. I can feel your pain deep inside of me. Right here. Inside my tiny otter heart.
Good news, though! If you would like to see what it's like to be relevant, you are perfectly capable of writing a story of your own to be commissioned. In fact, I encourage it!

My shortest published story is just short of 2000 words. If you read the story, and the cinematic style which is mine by inheritance, because I write for Television and film animation, you will quickly understand that to convert the visuals and the dialogue into the style of comic book panels and tell the story using not a comic script as much as the storyboards and screenplay that goes with the story, would require you do do something approaching 60-70 panels in order to present the story in the correct and often times complex scenic composition that I use constantly.Your art style, while above average would require you to do much more work than you would be comfortable with, I assure you.
Let me tell you, just as an aside that the storyboard I finished for the first act of the story alone runs 12 pages@ six panels a page. with four unique shots that required single page panels as well.
Doing the maths, that means that if you match my interpretation and composition panel for panel (which I would not expect since every artist has a slightly different sense of the visual)
(6*12) +4
72+4
76 panels
Not counting re-do's undo's thumbnails, and all the usual messing around that goes with something like this so you don't sketch yourself into the loony bin. I would say that when all is said and done, we're talking anywhere from 90-150 sketches all together, at minimum. And then, there's the second act, which requires more work because of the plot in general.
Knocking out some little jizz piece for a fanboy in 7-8 panels is one thing, and in spite of the "quality" of the -cough- *story*, I do applaud you for it. But to turn something meant to be seen on screen into a comic book format requires more than you can provide, and as such is certainly more money than I could justify paying, given the audience it would reach here.
No hard feelings, but the art I've seen here, in storytelling terms, just isn't visually "cost effective."

Oh damn, rocistone, you got us there! 76 whole entire panels!? Unfathomable! 150 sketches at minimum!? Impossible!
My god, rocistone, you're right. I don't know what we were thinking. That kind of raw, untapped artistic talent is just beyond the abilities of any normal human being. Obviously no mere furry would ever be able to even consider tackling such a thing. Shadow the Hedgehog is such a complex character that it would take at minimum, one whole animation studio to complete a comic that captures all the feeling and detail of a two-thousand word short story involving him.
You've made us see the light. Please forgive us, rocistone. We just didn't know. We just didn't know!
As an aside, who are you talking to? Is this one of those crazy third-person deals that Hollywood execs do in movies? "The rocistone is not impressed by your silly scribbles! Do not tempt the rocistone to hammer out silly drivel to put you in your place!"
Oh rocistone, you're so eccentric. I like that about you. Don't ever change, okay?

I am posting here specifically to tell you how much I LOVED this series.
Boobless lizard females are my fetish, and there's not *nearly* enough material out there. I can count on one hand the number of artists who do it well.
Hoping to see more along this vein. You are my hero! For now.
