Well the week of wondercon is upon us. I am really looking forward to this show, especially to see old friend, meet some new ones and draw a bunch of free sketches. So if you are in San Francisco, stop on by and hang out with us.
This also means that the comic work will be delayed a week. The comic will still update, it’s just I have con prep to get done first. Gonna start some small ink work as well. I will post those soon.
Keep Creating

I honestly laughed when I read 'fleshbag'. And yay for Siv being the last one standing.
Trav the bean » 4 Apr 2011 »
good:) and yes i was happy too that siv was the last man standing

why not? actually seeing they are all meatsacks, i personally find it interesting that they still see each other differently.
As for the backstab. Yeah, war is dark and ugly. The barkeep is more of a survivalist and opportunist than and one that dabs in chivalry.
Yet, rangers are the same. They fight in the shadows, honor is not always part of their code. The code of chivalry is more for the knight, king or lord…. now if you were in his position and judging by your last comment you do agree. You would have done the same given the opportunity

Indeed! I always prefer the fighter/thief, not evil, but as you say the survivalist/opportunist. Siv's my kind of guy 🙂

that is the one thing that bugs me in life… it is the notion that we live in a world of b/w- yet that is not true- the world is truly a series of shades of gray and that people, regardless of who you are, gravitate towards black or white…. yet they still have some tint to them.
I guess the gives a little more insight of my own character. A series of gray shades. Thank goodness for neutral characters:)

I thought only robots could call us fleshbags.. aren't goblins just smaller meatsacks? 🙂
I like a ranger who's not too 'honourable' to backstab; war is ugly, you take the advantages you have!

And why exactly they separated if they had discovered being picked ONE after the other ?
Do all villains in comics today have to be to dumb to live (literally) ?
Trav the bean » 29 Mar 2011 »
ii think they panic'd as for being dumb… don't count all goblins out yet:)

Hey Trav, you mentioned in your Wanderings section that if we had any good webcomics to post em here. Here's one made by a friend of mine. He draws each panel by hand using graphite on bristol, then scans it in and tweaks them to get the best look. He does the artwork and his lady does the dialog. Here's the link, hope you like it! http://www.itisacircle.com/home/
ps: you'll see my comments there under the handle "Neil"
Trav the bean » 29 Mar 2011 »
i'll take a look at it, I am always looking for new good stuff
you might though want to drop this in the comment section of the wandering page.:)
Mike » 29 Mar 2011 »
LOL I didn't see it! I'll go do that now. :p
Trav the bean » 29 Mar 2011 »
no worries-
Mike » 29 Mar 2011 »
Cool panel! That's what being a ranger is all about 🙂
Trav the bean » 29 Mar 2011 »
he's a tough one- slick- mean and methodical
WadeTheFade » 28 Mar 2011 »
I just came from choicecomics.net, someone mentioned you there!
Looks interesting!
Trav the bean » 29 Mar 2011 »
thanks man – i hope you enjoy the tale
@Rafnasil » 28 Mar 2011 »
He really doesn't give Siv much reason to fight fair. And if Siv can still sneak around ranger style with that terrible side wound it means the goblin wouldn't have stood a chance anyway. But why risk it?
Trav the bean » 29 Mar 2011 »
so true…so true
Bob » 28 Mar 2011 »
Love the pose at the end…and the facial expression. Great work!
trav » 28 Mar 2011 »
thanks bob- he’s a little grim.

The goblin should have been more specific. I believe what he really wanted was a chivalrous duel. What he got was a ranger fighting to survive. Much like that great exchange from the first "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie – "I would have beat you in a fair fight!"
"Well, that's really not much of an incentive for me to fight fair, now, is it?"
(Or something close to that)
Trav the bean » 28 Mar 2011 »
Survival seems to trump chivalry at the moment. He's also got a mission now…..:) besides i think even if he faced him one on one, he would have still beat him:)

Don't mess with a ranger who has an invisibility cloak !
Trav the bean » 28 Mar 2011 »
he didn\’t use an invisibility cloak:)
the forest walker is one that can literally blend into his surroundings under the \”right\” circumstances. It makes him all the more dangerous as our little goblins found out and you are very right I would not mess with him.
Trav the bean » 28 Mar 2011 »
he is a true forest walker… 🙂 and i will rock on!

I can't say enough good things about the atmospherics of your art. It's so immersive!
