New designs for Year 4!

August 3, 2012 by Adam Casalino

Come this September, The Wizard of Quippley will begin its triumphant fourth year.  Each year I try to bring a fresh direction to the comic, whether a new chapter in the story, or a new take on the character’s looks. Take a look at the new designs for the main characters.  Some new characters will be introduced as well, and of course, plenty of surprises.  I will post full color versions of these soon.

New design for Algerbane, complete!

September 24, 2011 by Adam Casalino

Here is the new look for Algerbane, complete with colors. I didn’t add any highlights to the colors, as this will also serve as the palette for when I color him in the comic, and I just need the flats. So what do you think? Is he wizardly enough, or did I go too far?

Cowboy Algerbane!

June 9, 2011 by Adam Casalino

Those of you who follow the comic’s twitter or Facebook page got a sneak peak to the following silliness.  On a whim I decided to draw what I think Algerbane would look like had he lived in the Old West.  I figured he’d be a sheriff, with a gun instead of a stave (since they all had guns, I suppose)–though I did sneak him a magic ring.  Take a gander below (clicky for large):

Western/Cowboy Algerbane

Here’s a sketch of Al, sans hat, possibly at the ol’ saloon:

Western/Cowboy Algerbane at Saloon

I really got a kick out of this lil’ diversion.  I wish I could come up with a fun western comic, but I don’t think I know enough about the era to make it believable.  Yes, I don’t really know enough about the middle ages to write The Wizard of Quippley, but with high fantasy, it’s easier to fake =P.  I might add some color to the first sketch and put up on my deviantart page.
