Imaginary Steampunk Novel " The Girls of Fogg Academy" Part Ten

The Carnival was shattered by a series of explosions that rocked the city and lit it up like midday. The government agents slipped away into the shadows, confident they had saved the country from an eldritch menace.

This just gets better and better. There are so many elements that make this work. Love the pen and ink. I hope you do continue developing it! Just started Lord Balitimore. Looks like it will be good.

The "Imaginary Steampunk Novel" snippet's are wonderful. Those little descriptions are real flavorful and leave you craving more. And I love the accompanying visuals. Simplified and mysterious. Real fun ideas.

Wow, I had missed all of this new series of pen and ink work. These are so great, I love them.
Very bold stylization and minimalism with deliberate details on certain designated areas. Phew!

Thank you so much Patrick!

Oh this is nice! It's so simple but there's something very appealing about the flames breaking the panel and the panel not being dead straight.

As for your response to my comment, Eric. 'Sense of Purpose' is my blog. Just posting stuff I do while in school.

Can't wait to see the rest of these, not to mention the comic to come!!

Eric Orchard said...

Sure thing Brian!

'eldritch' is such a good, Victorian sort of word. :-) I'm still voting for the complete, expanded version of this someday. :-)

You have totally invented a new genre!

Thanks Tara! I stole the world eldricht from H. P. Lovecraft-other great Lovecraft words are gibbous and cyclopean.

Wow! Thanks Chris!
