Substitute: Glad to hear you liked it. Thanks for the kind words. Everything is drawn in pencil, scanned in the computer, moved around in Photoshop, printed out, drawn over again, scanned in again and “inked” with a computer tablet using a program called Painter. It is then colored and lettered in Photoshop. A couple things are added at the end (i.e. blood splatter) in Painter. I’m trying to do more and more in Photoshop just to streamline the process.

Expand this box

Following the successful test-run, Quick and the Clock Smith begin their journey down the King’s Road to Castle Bramwell. Many travelers, most bearing some invention or another, fill the roadway. The following day all across the country the entire kingdom will celebrate the King’s birthday. But the biggest festival will be at Castle Bramwell. There, skilled craftsmen from all corners of the country will have the opportunity to present the fruit of their labors before King Philip himself.
Along the way, Quick and the Clock Smith are ambushed by bandits and taken captive. The bandits, a motley crew of savage thugs known as the Black Forest Bandits, are uncharacteristically well organized and efficient. This appears to be the direct result of new leadership. The bandits have been taken over by Firius, a disfigured half-man, half-dragon monstrosity who claims to be the first-born, bastard son of the old king and the rightful heir to the throne.
Firius intends to violently usurp the throne and claim his inheritance, even if it means slaughtering every man, woman, and child in the kingdom. And he wants to use Quick to do it.
