Damn, man, great work as usual...how's your arm after all that?
My right thumb does sometimes get sore, but usually its a case of me gripping the pen too tight. However, believe it or not, a lot of my time coloring is spent just looking at the page.

The colored lights shining up through the mouth were a very nice touch. Also a very interesting effect for the flames. A little sad that the tower no longer has wood-colored bits, but so it goes.

Was it your idea or Thunt's to rearrange the messages on the walls? Used to be they were in two neat paragraphs, now they're spread out all over (though not on the fourth wall, thankfully).

Also, not to nag or anything, but do you plan at some point to go back and do the ones in the middle that haven't been updated (from this to this)? Obviously the priority should be to do the new stuff, but it's a little weird to be going through the archive and get shaded, then unshaded, then shaded again, and the latest one unshaded. If you don't have time or whatever that's cool, I'm just askin' is all.

Yes, like I said last page I updated, I'll color those pages when I have time. I'll probably submit them all at once.

I have a question. Is it just my monitor or did you make Forgath with the Axe of Prissan have a white glow on him? I ask because his I.M.E. is gold, not white.

Where have you seen Forgath's ime? I never noticed it at least. In Morikahn's defense, I think it was white before it was colored. I could be wrong though.

I think we've seen Forgath's IME as sort of a tan brown. Would the badger manifestation reflect his IME? His sound effects are light brown, at least. And he's one of the few characters to not have a palish outline colour for his sound effects.

Anyway, awesome page and AWESOME colouring. Interesting rearrangement of the text, too.

Makes it all the more eerie and wild. Beautiful.

I don't remember the "But the key goes..." Am I right thinking that is new?

There are a bunch more examples but I don't care enough to find them as they're all that color too.

You're right. It is goldish-brown. Man, sorry Forest.

It's the same as it was, only spread across three walls now. I don't know the reason, but it looks kinda cool

Heh, I just noticed the dopey-looking pink-haired Kin in the middle (under Wizmax's magic missile arc).

Not only that, but now the lines end 'properly' as a rhyme should. The reason? Well, I have a guess -- THunt was sorta behind on getting the update out, so he just threw the text on the walls (not aligning the rhyme lines properly), figuring they would be 'fixed' during coloring ... and they were!

And having text across several walls helps give more sense to why there was any text on the ceiling at all. :)

Assuming this is the right thread, for the page that first introduced the tower room? It's not loading for me as I browse the archieve. Anyone else have the same problem?

Managed to find the image:

http://www.goblinscomic.org/comics/20130301.jpg

I went looking for it because I wanted to check out the faces on the tower...it looks like we've still never gotten a look at the one in the back-left of the original image.

I just noticed a Kin wearing wooden armour and, it appears, wielding a wooden weapon. She's ready to attack WizMax from behind. FMK from Athas?

Goblins. Dark Sun. I want.

Also we've seen that face you're referring to: http://www.goblinscomic.org/05272013/

By process of elimination, it is the sleepy-looking face with the closed eyes. Last panel.

No, that one's on the back right of the first tower picture; it has the goblinny ears sticking out. There's still one that remains glimpsed only in profile. You might be looking at the middle picture of the latest comic and thinking you can see all four arms at once, but look again. The "mouth with no face" arm is shown twice, presumably as a sort of timelapse; you can see a black-armored, bloody MM clinging to it in both places.

I knew it was a time-lapse. My mistake was reading what you said as back-right instead of back-left :P

We haven't seen that arm very closely but in the image I posted you can almost see it in the front right of the image. It's like angry-no-mouth face (TM) but with the eyes squished.

Ahah, I had in fact missed that one. Okay, I am satisfied, thank you.
