Loggia Deadlocke: Concept and Prologue

Loggia Deadlocke is the name of a comic I'm starting featuring webcomics of the various games I play (e.g. Terraria, FFXIV: ARR, Don't Starve, etc.)

It's kind of a "on the fly" comic, and more for practice than anything too serious.

Here's a preview of the first page, still in the work:

An example of the finalized first panel, to the L. you can see the sketch of the rough draft.

Quite bare at the moment, and in all honesty, it's a very lazy style where I use the free form selection tool to lasso, select, and clear selection.

First in line will be Terraria, and herein lies the problem. I want to delve into the comic as a story, but I'm unsure as to the "what" and "how"-to's. As it is I'll likely be making the comic in a fashion similar to Oglaf. Be warned, Oglaf is intended for mature audiences as much of its humor pertains to sexual acts and nudity, though there is a fair bit of gore too.

More on Oglaf, the comic is indiscriminate in its portrayal of sex, everyone has sex, and nothing of the who or what matter. It's incredibly entertaining not in a sensual manner, but in the blatant humor. I myself have re-read the comic several times, as the style of execution is incredible, and I can't stress that enough. Even now I still wonder how they do it with wit and gags.

But I digress, it's my hope that I can manage the same portrayal and execution of comedy, though considerably more modesty. Sexual humor is not a fancy of mine. Which made it even more odd how entertaining I found Oglaf.

Hopefully. I really want to show this to Cloud, but I'm a little worried. More on that in Satin Dog Days, as really this blog is more for my artistic progression and development.
