I have been quite moved by the response, following having ending the AAR. As a token of my appreciation, I want to share with you a little treat. A chapter I planned over a year ago, but never got around to finish for reasons you will discover. I sort of consider this the 'lost chapter'.
You will need
this YouTube link handy to read the comic. Continuity wise, this chapter falls somewhere in the middle to the end, but otherwise its placement is not important.
If you read through my AAR, you will notice that I specifically avoided portraying Siena for this reason. This idea originated when some of you commented that Flagland would never have female characters.
Since I cannot draw females - at least not comfortably - I decided to go the full other direction and have someone else draw them, in a completely different style and in a completely different size relative to the other characters. I find the complete contrast of styles to be hilarious.
The reason this chapter was delayed, was because my initial choice for artist was not possible. And then I essentially forgot about this chapter. But when I looked through my files, after my last post, I discovered this unfinished chapter, and decided that if there was ever a time to finish it, it should be now.
I also attribute the delay in the publication of
this chapter to the wound in my motivation to continue the AAR. And this is one of the important lessons I've learnt.
Oh, and don't feel too bad for Ulm. He may yet get lucky with Siena, but I believe
Europa Universalis IV will be enough to satisfy any hard broken man. And if not, there is always
March of Eagles and
East versus West on the way. And that
Legacy of Rome DLC, I believe. And what about
Project Eternity or
Planetary Annihilation? And don't forget
A Game of Dwarves and
Cities in Motion 2. No, my friends, what man needs Siena with all these games?
Pfft, sex, so 800 BCE.
