I think this turned out quite prettily, the "masking the edges of the bookshelf to avoid having to draw ALL the books" thing looks like it was done for aesthetic reasons and everything :D

For those who haven't played the game, the Templars are male religious soldiers guarding the tower of mages. Dagna is a dwarf with no magical ability who moves to the Tower to study. And since Templar/mage relationships are forbidden... :)

I love the bookshelves (they kind of reminded me of Paul Kidby's discworld art actually but that might have been the colour). The concept's pretty amusing but I think it would be funnier if I'd played the game - Sorry!

Thankyou! Clearly you must play the game so you can understand the context of my genius art :D

I like this:-)

It _definitely_ looks like the blurring the books out was an artistic decision:-)

I like the clue-less nature of Dagna in this instance:-)

Thankyou!

Her speech bubble is above his. So as I scanned across the page I read it first, then his. Would be easy enough to fix by just extending one or other tail.

I've been meaning to post alink to this How to Make Manga post for a while now.

Oooh, thanks. Good point. And since it's such a small edit, I shall actually put it into effect :)
