This comic is part of an ongoing story that might make more sense with full context.

(These are "newest first", so start at the end and work backwards.)

Throughout October, I'll be drawing a piece of Konsi art every day as a Drawtober challenge. Here's the prompts I'll be using.

You can find the art on Mastodon, Tumblr, Bsky, or Twitter. First two are best.

This is a surprisingly smart read for Xanathar's Guild thieves.

Oh yeah, I can draw a zoomed out panel, but... there's a lot of competing factors in comic design here.

A lot of the visual identity of a comic like this is in the character designs, and a lot of the emotion and body language is conveyed in close up. If I show a zoomed out panel, I can't really convey any details of the characters, either in their outfit or their expression. The leader is also a "new character" so... it's important to let the audience get a good look at him a few times to get used to him.

But this is missing the forest for the trees a bit here. What happened was I drew this comic like this, because it's best for dialogue, and I drew the next one spread out because it's best for action, and made a continuity error due to a technical mistake.
