Wow! For the first 2 panels I was “squinting” to get a better look at the characters, and well rewarded in panel 3.

Keen observation on the alien in the middle! Yes, he is of the local race. As for the weapons, there’s no real reason for the differences. I just thought it would make sense that there would be many different models available of the same basic type of gun. So they’re similar in basic style and function, but they have some slight differences due to make and manufacturer.

Oh, lovely artwork! I can’t wait to get into this book; looks like it will be even better than the last.

Hmm… is the central alien native to this world? With white hair/skin and hooves, he looks well-adapted to snow. The other two don’t look like they could have evolved on the same planet as the beasts, either, but he does.

I like their weapons too; very detailed. Are the weapons those two on the side have modified to account for the race using them, or is there some other reason for the slight difference?

atmospheric perspective looks so much better in blue…

Oh man, action figures would be sweet. I’m a bit of a collector myself, so if RUNNERS figures ever made it to the market, that would make my day. And in keeping with typical toy business decisions these days, I’d milk it by having regular versions of these characters, followed by convention exclusive snow-dusted variants.

BTW, in the artwork, I color the yak in three slightly different shades of brown to add some variety. So of course, there’d have to be three figure variants of them as well. And then the snow-dusted variants of the three variants.

Great stuff! I’d love to see action figures of these guys.

As a role-player who has designed numerous worlds / settings, I find part of the fun is deciding on a particular detail for visual or dramatic reasons and then coming up with a rationale for that detail within the setting. From your art and comments, you seem to do that at least some of the time. It’s this attention to detail that makes an exotic (to the reader) setting also consistent, adding to credibility.

I can’t judge your coloring skills professionally, just as a very pleased reader. I don’t doubt you will continue to improve; you have the drive.

I can’t even begin to explain how exicited I am to see this start! I was really excited when you were originally going to go through Archaia, so this has been a long wait. You can thank David Petersen for introducing me to your books. Good luck!

Well it’s a great start. The colors look sweet. I’m amazed at your ability to draw weird characters, it’s crazy. And to draw the consistently! This looks great though.
