Tales of Northwood [webcomic: part #004]

(Click the picture for bigger/readable version.)


About this part

The three previous parts established the setting and two characters, Willhem and Flyre, whom seemed to live a nice and calm life. No way the story could be kept that peaceful, it was time to introduce some disharmony! So, I grabbed one random Rory's Story Cube, and asked myself this question:

What event turns the world upside down for Willhem and Flyre?

I rolled and got this result:



Humph... what does this mean for the story? Fortunately, I didn't have to think that long before I established that someone would pay Willhem and Flyre a visit, and deliver an object to them. Three scary guys covered in cloaks instantly came to my mind, so I kept that mental picture. But what would they deliver? I had to roll another die for answering that. This is what I got:


An eye! Totally okay for me! The three scary guys in cloaks would deliver an object shaped like an eye! I also determined that this "delivery" would happen during night, to make it a bit more fearsome.

And that's it! From this I created part #004 as seen above.

I have no clue who these guys are. I don't know what the eye shaped object means, or what it is. I don't know what kind of relation they have to Willhem. There are many questions, and hopefully future parts will answer some of them!

Until next time, take care!

About this part

The final part of the three introductory ones. The "real" story is ready to begin!

The story will from now on be completely made up by random elements, to begin with, Rory's Story Cubes. I will of course share the details for each part what dice I rolled and how I wove the results into the story.

Until next post, take care!

Tales of Northwood [webcomic: part #002]

(Click the picture for bigger/readable version.)

About this part

Part two of the three posts that will make up the introduction to this webcomic. As stated in my first Tales of Northwood post, no dice/random will be introduced until the forth part.

In this post, Northwood's two first inhabitants make their debut. Well, three actually, there is a horse too... or is it a donkey? That is what my eldest daughter (seven years old) kept telling me when I was drawing it! It is supposed to be a horse at least, so please try to image one!  ;-)

Next part to follow soon!
