Gnome de plume posted:drat it, not the sandwich, not like that. Katia needs the carbs for the big competition. I'm fairly certain that's what she did anyway. It's still good. All those recently-introduced microbes are just extra proteins. Let's face it, she's desperate enough to do that.

Oh that's how it starts, surely the sandwich is still safe, right? Next thing you know you're huddled in an alley with the collywobbles and ataxia.

http://www.prequeladventure.com/2013/01/katia-interrogate-interrogator/ <- the barbecue was offhandedly mentioned here. That was like four months ago so it's probably a little far back to reach when openly referencing an obscure detail, but it's been kind of neat watching the comments from people who remember it versus people who don't. And watching how many times "Lenka" pops up in the search log. The fact that it was searchable was actually part of the reason I decided to avoid much explanation beyond that. Gaius only showed up in the (non-searchable) Excelsior flash so when I brought him back I dropped a bunch of reminders as to who he was, but Lenka's search results are very nice so I felt a little safer just assuming readers would remember her, and search/ask other readers if they didn't. Possibly a bad idea, but that's pretty much why I do this stuff: to see if it will work. As for the sandwich, all that's really relevant is that it had some alchemy involved, like Sigrid's dinner. If you really want to get into the nitty gritty Oblivion references: the ingredients I'm assuming Lenka used were potato bread, ham, and tomato (for the barbecue sauce). The healing effect came from the pork and bread, the Detect Life came from the bread and tomato, and there's an additional +fatigue effect in there somewhere. Not too important overall, if you'd rather assume the pork was dead rats, the bread was a normal loaf, and the healing effect came from Gaius' flashback taking four months.

Ketchup would be pretty great, I mean a single tomato can restore fatigue, make you detect life, or even shield you if you're a good alchemist. Tomatos can also be used to make poison reducing your carrying capacity.

Enjoyed this bonus update! Kind of a nice change of pace from all this Kvatch stuff I suppose. I have to say though, Quill-Weave's pose looks kinda stiff. Maybe it's just a side effect of it being largely unchanged from when she first appeared in the story. To be fair I guess I've always preferred the slightly more detailed style like you see in the close-ups/action shots.

 Well that worked better than expected. In the course of two days, I went from something like 4th place to having a 1000+ vote lead on the person who was in first. I felt a little bad about that initially, until I poked around and discovered that he, too, was soliciting votes from his fanbase. And given that his designs were already some of the best in terms of art quality, I suspect a few of the people who had scores close to his were also drawing votes from somewhere. Armies are silently clashing here.This feels a little unfair to the people who are actually playing the contest proper, but I have to admit it's drat fun. I feel like there has to be some caveat I'm missing, otherwise these contests would be nothing but webcomic authors dueling eachother.

To be fair I guess I've always preferred the slightly more detailed style like you see in the close-ups/action shots. But she's already one of like two characters who isn't slouching! If I change her, my comic will officially be posturist. But seriously, a lot of the older sprites are probably getting a little dated in terms of quality by now, but one of the reasons I'm holding on to them is to keep myself "anchored" so the art doesn't get too complex. I already have a little bit of escalation in the sprite complexity - compare these guys to these ones - but requiring the art to mix in with the older work at least puts something of a limit on it. In practice it doesn't look perfect, but it does keep the art at a quality level where it can actually be made. And an advantage to the MSPA-esque style inconsistency is that I can still deviate away from this for brief periods if I want to get arty or reference cliche fantasy art in a way the rigid sprites couldn't.

The formula for the protagonist in this comic so far has been this:
So she's about to get something comforting from Steve. He looks sad rather than grumpily sinister as usual. Maybe he's remorseful or something? Regardless, we already know it will end up in disaster eventually.

When a cat-person whose been thoroughly swindled by an associate of yours points and stares at you with one blood-red eye in an ominous fashion it's possible you might start to consider things aren't going to go all that well in the immediate future.

Don't feel bad, Kazerad, this is basically how all of WLF's contests go, they're less a quality thing and more a popularity contest; soliciting of votes is pretty much how it always goes. Lots of well-done designs this time around and yours is pretty neat. With that pointing pose, I'm not surprised the NPC slowly backed away.

Of course, I totally get that that kind of response is why people are usually hesitant to show off abandoned projects, but the concept is pretty clever. Writing all the different character interactions for different possible circumstances seems like a fun project, if somewhat daunting in scope.
