Unfortunately it turns out Danil isn’t all that waterproof.
Jings, sorry about this turning into a Wednesday update. I was having some weird technical issues with my tablet, but mainly I just underestimated how long all these very specific magic effects would take to draw. I hope it all reads well, I’ve never drawn a magic shield being smashed into bits by a tidal wave before. And in perhaps unfortunate timing with this particular page, I hope any of you caught up in Sandy are doing ok. Do stay safe.

I’m loving these magical effects! :D
It looks like a glass bubble being shattered, and it looks awesome, so I think you nailed it :-)
Aggrowater FTW!!
But there you noticed an interesting point:
He saw the water rushing in his direction in the last page,
and in this page raises a shield as if he’d expect it to help.
Him being a seasoned mage he should have known if his shield could hold back the inland Tsunami.
It shattered nevertheless. May the charring of his runes did have an effect,
making it not as big a fail for our matchstick squirrel as it seemed.
Ren uses hydro cannon. It’s super effective!
It’s weird to see REAL mages battle after Adrianna sucked at it so much.
I think that comment earned you an Adrianna FACE PUNCH.
I block the face punch with my face and use faint. It’s super effective!
…She still sucks at magic tho.
wooooooooa–its time to take this to book form,this is flipin’ aaaawsome
Oh yes please! I would buy this so hard!
Me too!
And I absolutely LOVE her expression in that last panel.
lol how do you buy a book hard–thats a funny expression miss:D
Amazing special effects! I’d love to see a closeup of the shield being slashed. And the last panel is badass!
I love this page, I’ve caught myself wondering what mage battles look like in this universe since the concept of conscripted armies with gunpowder weapons is completely foreign to these people.
The results are not disappointing.
Interesting how much power and control she has for someone that’s not really supposed to dabble in magic (and keeps it hidden)
Anyone else ever played magicka?
Danil may be about to have quite a *shock*!
OH HOHOHOHOHOHOHUEHUEUHE
Poor Airin.
Yeah, I’m thinking that, too – it’s just one traumatic event after another for that poor kid.
Well, and for everyone else too, naturally. Stay alive, Danil, Adrianna, etc., if at all possible! I do want to see many more pages of awesome magebattle, but also many more pages of fav characters looking mildly grumpy.
Red Moon rising–now updating every Thursday
No seriously Rose,you should bog yourself down with a deadline you cant meet-We’d like to see you do the best work that you can so we can buy the book when it goes to print–so give yourself a deadline which you can meet so you can do the best work you can
Ha! That’s fair enough.
I’d actually been thinking about moving my update day to Thursday. I’ve been finding it hard to work on the weekends recently since my flatmates all got real jobs with normal working hours and just want to hang around and goof off on the weekends. My work station is in the living room because my bedroom is too cold at this time of year, so it’s hard to stay focused that way.
Still, I won’t drop below a once-a-week schedule. That way lies madness! On a related note, the next page should be up tomorrow. It would have been done today, but my shoulders have suddenly become very, very sore and I’m off to lie down. Thanks for the encouragement. :)
and by goofing off–do you mean playing with those samurai swords that you collect lol
oooh ya–you guys should be in winter right about now–we are in summer mode here in South Africa
