Roughs-only story PARTY OF TWO: "He Loves Me?" pt.2 (Patreon)

Behold, the concluding half of a Party of Two 12-page story conveyed via sketchy roughs; the first half can be seen here.

A few words on the pages (assuming I find the time to add some text):

Panel 1 above indicates an interestingly uneven battleground the combatants are standing on, though this fact soon becomes less clear in the action scene that follows.

 I quite like the riff above of the hobgoblins stabbing a wholly oblivious dwarf, then losing their weapons as he charges off.

I haven't drawn a fight scene in well over a year (since I finished work on Empowered vol.11), so I gotta say that sketching this sequence was highly enjoyable for me. 

Believe it or not, I think the "morning star used against its wielder" riff above was taken from fight choreography I worked out almost 20 years ago for a Garrison-starring Battle Chasers story that never came to be. 

Time for the big finale, folks! 

I really enjoyed the idea that the half-orc has the background to understand the dwarf barbarian's "love language"—that is, how his extra-berserk raging reflects his non-articulated feelings for her. 

And that's THE END for "He Loves Me?", folks! No idea when or how this 12-pager could be translated into finished artwork, or even if I'd be the artist on it, but I definitely had fun wityh this story.

NEXT MONDAY ON THIS HERE PATREON: More life drawings, as usual.
