A Christmas Fable

I've had a busy Christmas, between work and family visiting. But this is a little tale I strung together in coffee shops in Cork, Galway, Limerick and Enniskillen over the season of goodwill. It's rough and unfinished, and I'm going to upload it in instalments over the next few days. I hope you guys like it. I'm speaking particularly to Java, Ron, Jorein, Nosfera, Kain, Malice, and the rest of you Merry Snowballers....

NOW it's all over! :)

@ Ron, Byrdylicious, Liddlbuddha : Many thanks for the kind words. It was fun putting it together. As I said, it was all sketched out in coffee shops over the Christmas (many thanks to MacDonalds in Cork and the Asda Café in Enniskillen). I have a sheaf of sketches in my bag as a result. The slow part was scanning them in and editing the whole lot.

It was worth it, though.

Superb! Even though I've been covered in snow...

Especially the panel where the snowmen throw their snow balls is really great! And the epiloge is great, too. Can't think of anyone topping this snow fight tale!

Love it - top story!

@ JoRein : Thanks, dude. Much appreciated.

@ Kringe : Merci beaucoup. You should know that the Riverdancer is always ready to spring into action - a bit like Superman with the costume under the shirt.

The Man with Hat, a member of the North Pole Connection? I knew it! But there are frosty winds in the winter's sky above, and obviously he doesn't wear warm underwear ...

Great work, Des! I love the arrangement of panels, the usage of black, grey and white ... plenty of atmosphere there in your Opus.

Chapeau!!!

Ooookay. All done.

Sorry it took so long.

Right!

....Well, just keep on watching.

HaChri | 2011-01-21 22:59

I'am watching ...

des | 2011-01-19 23:47

Keep watching.

Wow! This is the most intensive snowball fight I have EVER seen

Kringe (ICOM e.V.) | 2011-01-19 09:11

It's getting really fantastic!!

Pure action, movie-like shots and angles!

Wow! The snow clones remind me of the snow goons from Calvin & Hobbes ...

Hey, Jan, if we're talking Star Wars, we can call this tale "The Riverdancer strikes Back".

Still about four pages left in this. Keep watching.

Ouch!

*

The crowd of smiling snowmen is just excellent!

* Though we shouldn't be that much surprised - it's pretty much the same situation as in Star Wars, Han Solo and Chewie chasing the stormtroopers who end up firing back...

@ Java:

That's "next pages"... There's still a few to go. Sorry it's taking so long - the sketches are all done, but I'm just finding it hard to get around to putting it all together. But it WILL be worth it, I think.
