Durkon's expression in Strip 4

[mockingbyrd7]

:smallsmile: I know this is a minor detail, but I really liked the expression on Durkon's face in panel 5 of strip 4. http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0004.html It's sort of an innocent, kind of sheepish, apologetic face, a mix of these three: :smalleek: :smallfrown: :smallsmile: I know the strip was a bit sloppy back in the early days, but if that face was cleaned up it would be a really cool addition to the OotS smiley family.

What do you think?

What I find funny in strip 4 is that Elan does not know how to pronounce "competence"...

[Accountant]

Also, I always thought that Elan's hair looked really wierd in the first panel.

Crap, another thing I never noticed!

Yeah he looks kinda like, I don't know, Kurt Russel?

I don't know about that particulair expression. But I agree that Durkon needs a distinct expression as a smilie. Except for V he is the only 'bland' smilie. Well, unless we count the MitD, Xykon and the Demon Roach, but they don't even have faces.

[wojonatior]

that is a very weird expression.

The impression I got from his first post was that it be added to the neutral smiley family (:smallredface: :smallmad: :smallfurious: :smallfrown: :smalleek: :smallcool: etc)


yeah, I can see it getting some use. (The one I'd like is something along the lines of >.> As in, averting eyes shamefully, kind of...)

[Theodoriph]

I like Durkon's current smiley. It fits his personality. :smalltongue:

MITD does have a face, it's just hidden

The neutral smiley family (the forum smileys) are redone versions of smileys used in the comic. If it is used enough in the comic, it became a smiley (with a few exceptions, such the incredible terror smiley ((like the normal terror but with an extra line)))

A bit off topic, but seeing that strip again, I noticed that Roy carries Durkon when they flee (Belkar even comments once that it's cool to be carried to places).
My question is, does Roy really needs to carry Durkon? Since 3.5, dwarves doesn't get the same speed penalty others characters get in medium and heavy armor, so Durkon has the same speed Roy have, assuming Roy wears a heavy armor.

[Kyle]

Well, at that point, they'd only been upgraded to 3.5 four a couple hours at the most, where as Roy and Durkon had been adventuring together for quite some time. Perhaps it was simply force of habit?

Alternativly, Roy might be wearing a mitheral breastplate. He is able to keep up with Haley, Elan and V, all of whom are medium size and wear light or no armour. Of course, something would have to account for the fact that Belkar can keep up with them as well, as he wouldn't have Fast Movement yet, and he's obviously not wearing Boots of Speed.

A few HOURS? They have slept, ya know. Perhaps the 'players' have been in 3,5 for a few hours, but in the context of the strip it has been more then a day, perhaps more then a week.

that's what you think

DUN DUN DUN

You posting that made me go back to the archives...AGAIN!

And i found this expression of belkar to be quite funny too.

Rereading the archives, I don't see any indication between their 3.5 update in strip one and Roy carrying Durkon in strip four to indicate that they've slept. Nor is there a bonus strip in 'Dungeon Crawlin' Fools'. Perhaps you're privy to some insider knowledge to which I'm not aware?

[Elandegenerate]

the precence of the eyebrow/stresslines thingies, gave me the impression (though not a strong one) that that was an "innocent-i have no ranks in bluff and bad charisma so im gonna keep my mouth shut" kinda face

again, not a strong impression, but i think that was the intention, not necissarily a neutral one

I love that one, it's only been used a few times other than that, and I LOVE it.

I actually like it in strip 13 more than strip 310, it seems more natural somehow.

What I found ironic about that sentence is that 310 is 13 backwards.:smallamused:
