Ch4 37
And now we reveal the “big bad” of My Hero!. The oversized, incredibly powerful Abyssal Overlord: Sasskra. There are only a few pages left of this chapter and then we’re on to the introduction of two more characters. Then, the next chapter will introduce Alli’s favourite character of My Hero!: Magnus. She can hardly wait for him to show up.
Alli also switched up her hair highlighting style. She has been thinking about going back to the OoME style of gradient shading, but the time it consumes is longer than the current cell-shaded style. We’ll be looking into various other tricks, tips or otherwise art-improving steps to increase our productivity and we would like to have your input on things you’d like to see.
Speaking of things you’d like to see, there’s still the Patreon feed for additional Alli arts (Adult content and stuff included at the 5$ mark).
The sons must’ve gotten their horns from their mother.
Speaking of their mother… is that her there?
I was wondering about that, too. From what I can make out through the purple haze, it looks like there are two bodies back there, and one is a baby/toddler being held?
The next page, as well as the comments on both… Has made me wonder if it isn’t something trapped, instead of preserved… Maybe something that should be too powerful for them to deal with under normal circumstances… something that would get in their way?
Of course, I’m not putting money on any of these theories. I’m the speculate, wait & watch type.
Is it only me or is there a really a resemblance to our beloved hero?
They do share a muscular build and strong jawline. But one is a neutral and the other is an Abyssal. If they were brothers, Lark’s mom would have some explaining to do. If Sasskra was Mark’s father, too, it would mean our muscle-bound hero turned his back on his God and Converted to Ith’Ir… not something a God would be too happy with and would be an act a God would consider something definitely worth cursing the individual in some horrible way.
Of course… this could all be just one massive… RED herring. Discuss!
I think a god may have cursed your keyboard.
Typing on a phone is a pain in the ass
Only if you sit on it. *rimshot*
Seriously, I agree. I too find thumb typing slow and painful.
Thought you were talking about Has 🙁
Sasskra looks like Hasera? Maybe it’s the freckles?
No, thought that Has was the hero…
That glorious hair! He is definitely not one to cross.
I know PhotoShop has a ‘gradient tool’ – and the copycats usually have at least a plugin that does the same thing. (Played around with it in Art Class – but it was a few version numbers ago) You can do some really cool things with a color->transparency gradient in mere seconds. Needs careful management of layers and outlines tho because it works a lot like the paint bucket tool.
Although once I had all the outlines masked properly – I found it was simpler to paint in the shadows with the edges of a super large fuzzy brush. (Complex shadows like hair and cloth might benefit more from the gradient tool) And…. I was drawing entirely with a mouse, so what was ‘easy’ and ‘simple’ had hardware limitations. (Wacom tablets blew my mind!!!) The fact you have a stylus to use might make all my hard-learned mouse tricks kinda…. pointless.
