For all those who like webcomics...

A few months ago, I started Planescape Survival Guide, a webcomic based on a Planescape campaign I played in several years ago. It's over 20 comics long now and updates at least once a week. It is basically a generally humorous story with an ongoing epic-like plotline. Comments are appreciated!

Well...

An upcoming scene is going to feature a Blood War battle. Now, as you've probably noticed, my tanar'ri and baatezu are kind of randomly designed by me. I've got the old Monstrous Manual and the Planescape boxed set, but aside from Pit Fiends, Balors, Mariliths, and Imps, there isn't a whole lot in the way of what things are supposed to look like!

So, what sorts of fiends might one expect on either side in the Blood War, and is there any sort of picture/description of what they look like available anywhere?

And I'm glad you like the comic! Thanks for telling me! Laughing out loud

Sorry, but I don't have any Planescape books or much info on fiends. Wish I could help.

Yeah, I have read that one. Thank you.
But do you know what any of the fiends pictured therein are called?

1st panel: two vrocks, one spearing an osyltuh with a gelugon behind, and i'm not so sure about the other two....

2nd panel: Could be a pit fiend vs a Chasme

And it's a Barbazu that killed the vrock Smiling

Those monkey-looking fiends are probably bar-lgura.

Many thanks! I think the first Blood War battle scene is about 3 episodes away. Laughing out loud

Are you planning to put in some good-aligned drow as characters?

I didn't have any in mind at the moment. The drow character in the vote incentive is from a Neverwinter Nights campaign I'm currently playing.

But I'm open to any ideas! I DO have an overall plot in mind, but many things can find their way into that over time. Especially since I have a bad habit of not really scripting anything other than a vague plot outline until I'm actually drawing the panels.

Maybe you can have two new good-aligned characters: A drow and a half-drow.

The drow could be a male paladin to Eilistraee (the goddess of good drow), who has a nack for making wisecracks.

The half-drow would be a female and Talanard's and Twang's half sister (if you'll excuse the pun) who likes to play practical jokes.

What do you think?

lol, I think I'm going to set a record for most characters in a webcomic Eye-wink

No, but I kind of like that... I've been getting suggestions lately for a "hearthrob" dude character who the chicks will all be swarming over, much to the chagrin of Torin and the others. It could be the drow guy! (think shiny teeth Eye-wink )

And the half-drow girl could be cool, too. Nothing more fun than drawing babes, really, lol.

Okay!

Here's a little concept art based on your idea, Terra Nova!

And also, as seen in the drawing, I'm thinking of bringing in some low-tech, steampunk type stuff.

These two are half-siblings, both half-drow. Sparkly-teeth is half-assimar, I may make the girl indeed by a half-sibling of Talanard and Twag, not sure yet.

Thanks Swiftblow, they both look really good. If you need anymore ideas for characters let me know, okay?

What about the 'loths? They are the third kind of demon-like being, and are the masterminds behind the whole Blood War...

I can't do it all at once! Eye-wink

Barking Wilder requested some 'loth pics, actually, and I'm hoping to draw some of those for one of the upcoming eps (maybe even the next one).

Hm, though I guess I should have said three kinds of demons... though that might just really confuse things as far as this episode is concerned.

Okay, unsatisfied with inaccuracies, I found a way to make it work! (And without having to draw an army of yugoloths in the next 20 minutes Eye-wink )

Episode 51 starts like, chapter 2 (part 2?), or something like that. In any case!

Looks great! I love it!

Are you going to do something like this for chapter one?

Yeah, I think I might. Would make a pretty cool start to the comic Smiling

Just have to think of what to draw...

Hold on a sec, I thought Sparkly-teeth was supposed to be half-assimar. But then again this your comic, so it's none of my buissness.

BTW, page 51&52 are both really funny. Good luck with the rest of your comic!

I did say that, didn't I? :oops:

Well, in fiddling with the character concept, I thought it would be more interesting to have a lower plane linkage. Plus, it made his introduction make a bit more sense.

He might still be half-aasimar, though... you just can't be sure! Eye-wink

Hey everybody!

Since the Lady of Pain is featuring heavily in the latest eps, I thought I'd check and see what you all thought about it. I've basically decided on exactly who and what she is at this point, which I think is rather key for my story, but am still curious what you all think. The next episode is going to be even more informative, I think.

Thanks for reading! Laughing out loud

She's talking?

I assume there's a dabus off-screen?

She's not talking. What's occuring is akin to a dabus' communication.

Having her even do that is something of a stretch, I know, but it's all related to the various liberties I'm taking.

Hope you don't mind too much!

Just so you know, I turn 21 this Saturday. Does anyone else have a big birthday coming up around then?
