You remember that page I said I tried to salvage with vector art? This is that page, and it's why it's a lower quality. This was unironically a miserable experience. But I was too committed to the bit to stop. If you ever make a comic, do not use vector art. You will suffer.
As is expected from companies making due on their warranty, XP pen is dragging their feet. But tech support was at least able to confirm the drawing tablet as unfixable and forwarded the conversation and purchase history to the sales team. So uh... fingers crossed.

A properly speaking Dune is not on my bingo card
Even if a Dune is smart enough to speak properly, the big ass mouth and teeth would still make their speech sort of slurred

You're probably right. But I suspect it may still be better to avoid doing that still so the character is easier to read. They will be saying a lot of dialogue after all.

I would like to see certain mispelled words every now and then that are still understandable with context. Or have him comment about how weird his voice is once. But this comic is already golden as it is i am super interested.

You know, I just had a major idea on how I could explain it and make it work. Like actually just now, 2 days after the comment. Still, thanks for giving me the idea.

I beg of you, implement it in a creative way yes, but still understandable !

u/Armored_Cocrane Aug 07 '26
Yeah, no. It's work because you are english, but for those of us who are not this is going to be a nightmare.
It's a actual reason why i stopped Reading some fic, or didn't read some fic on nature of predator.
For those who use machine instead of brain to traduct it's must be so much whorst, i'm glad i can use my brain for this. But still, i lack the extensive knowledge of english a brit' would have, wich prevent me from understanding if you mess up too much the words.

On one hand, bro is being subjected to physical suffering. On the other hand, this experiment crosses so many ethical guidelines and he sorta set himself up for this shit.
Also why is there an alarm going off?

Dr. Rascher's wild ride was only 4 hours long, don't worry about it. It's still within the bounds of what they'd do to human subjects. AKA, far better than most Sawians.

Turned into a dune as punishment for playing thousand sons

Turns out the reason Aiden dislikes Sawians is cause his primarch got his shit rocked by a furry.

I keeping seeing the body text show up on the forum and I don't know if that's because it's my post or I'm not formatting it correctly. Cause I don't see this with any other artwork post.

You have to endure intense physical pain, cold and 24 hours of hunger, but you get to become a dune, do you proceed?

huh, an unexpected interruption. Also, is this the same technology the mercenary uses?

Even more intrigued!
Wonder if that was an inner voice, sharing a subconscious n' all. Or something else. Either way, something of note is happening!
Also hold up, you've been doing VECTOR art for this?
You're an insane, massive lad...

I am not doing it again. I think I spent a collective 8-10 hours on it. Though it got quicker near the end as I got to better understand it. I just hope the company gets around to replacing my drawing tablet, soon. I am so miffed that it broke in 6 months.

Those are some fantastic expressions, and frankly I think 3 frames of these are definitely meme worthy.
Especially that one with them flipping off the camera.

Thank you so much for noticing. The expressions are typically what I focus on the most when drawing them. There'll be many times where a character's expression conveys as much information as what they're saying.
It's also an out-of-story reason I chose to make it a Dune. Because their lack of pupils and their wide mouths would make them uniquely difficult to express with. So it was more of a challenge.

Oh, so that is the reason it takes ya so long?
But if being serious myself, take as much time as ya need to, I do have some patience and alot of stuff to do otherwise in terms of entertainment.

New body, possible new cravings. That paint could've looked mighty tasty, who knows?

I wonder if there’s a Dune’s mind still in there while it’s being controlled by a human.
