Will there be more Princess Planet?
No. But if you enjoyed the series, I’ve made a 12 page pdf, called The Danger of the Dinosorcerer, with a self-contained adventure for Princess Christi and Princess Boo. It’s as pay-what-you-want download (minimum $1 Canadian) of all new material. So, if you want to use it as a tip jar, and give me some money in exchange for the enjoyment you’ve received from the strip, that would be much appreciated. If you just want to buy it to get 72 new panels of Princess Planet, that’s cool too. If you don’t want to pay anything, you’re not missing out on an integral story line or anything.


What else did you do?

THANK YOU!


I want to thank all of the readers who have been involved in making this a fun experience. I really enjoyed the banter we got going. I enjoyed seeing you riddle out the extra gags. I think there was only one troll in the run of the strip.

And thanks to everyone who drew Fan Art for the strip: Lars, Daniel, Hambot, and Kathleen! Big up to the people who covered the strip, El Santo at Webcomics Overlook, Alice Quinn at TDot Comics, Hansel Moreno at ReadComicBooks and Jenn at The Dragon podcast. Thank you to the readers who came back to read the strip but didn’t feel the need to comment; the silent majority is much appreciated. A HUGE thank you to everyone who referred a friend and recommended someone else check out the strip. I want to thank my friends and peers for supporting me with encouragement, and guest strips, especially Steven Charles Manale who put up with me calling him for help with punchlines a lot. All the Transmission-X crew. And of course to my amazing wife, who helps me figure out what is funny and what is not. You are all awesome wizaardvark warbarian typhoonicorns!


Monster Manual Monday – G Golem

 

In Dungeons and Dragons, the golem is a pretty tough customer. You need powerful magic weapons to hurt them. And only a few spells work against them.  And I don’t think they’re ticklish or susceptible to bribes. Mostly they are made them out of flesh (like Frankenstein), clay, stone, or iron but in The Princess Planet you’re more familiar with the snow variety. Here I was definitely inspired by the Batman: Animated Clayface design but mixed with some Dan Seagrave heavy metal album cover art and the idea that there was a kiln inside the clay.


Myrrhy Christmas

 

Happy Chanukkah

 

Monster Manual Monday – F Firbolg

 

The Firbolg are a race of giants from Irish mythology. They basically look like humans with pink skin and red hair, so sunburned gingers. Since giants tend to love hurling stones (it worked for David, why not Goliath?) I decided to try for a weighty boulder weapon.


Monster Manual Monday – E Ettin

 

Basically an Ettin is a two-headed giant. Why shouldn’t it use a two-headed morningstar? My wife thinks the TT looks too much like the pi sign, but I’m not as bothered by it. It has a bit of a Stonehenge look to me.

Monster Manual Monday – D Dragon

 

How could I do D without picking Dragon? In the world of Dungeons and Dragons, each colour of dragon has a different set of powers and a preferred base of operations. The Green Dragon breathes chlorine gas and lives in forests. So I tried to make the scales look more like pine needles on the back, and pinecones on the front. Combined with the antler-like horns I feel like it suits its setting quite well.


Monster Manual Monday – C Cockatrice

 

The Cockatrice is a combination of rooster, bat, and lizard. I thought I’d make the comb and wattles of the rooster resemble the frilled lizard’s neck display. If its claws or beak touch you, the cockatrice can turn you to stone, like a combination of Medusa and King Midas.


Monster Manual Monday – B Beholder

 

My Dungeons and Dragons art fest continues with the Beholder. Despite it having prehensile eye stalks, I’ve never seen an artist draw them wielding weapons and wands.


Monster Manual Monday – A Aboleth

 

I’ve decided to start drawing some of my favorite Dungeons and Dragons monsters to post in the blog. This week it’s an Aboleth, a deep sea fish that has psychic powers to dominate your mind, like a reverse Aquaman.


 

Fan Expo 2011 Caricatures

 

I drew a bunch more hideous caricatures at this year’s Fan Expo. The first one is of Cassandra, a fan who had come in for the show all the way from Newfoundland. It’s always nice to meet fans from far away!
