Some basic details about the Crow Kingdom

Crow Kingdom citizens all wear masks at all times in public. This is done as a sign of equality. The idea being that masks add a level of anonymity, that people won't be judged by their appearance. The make of the masks vary from person to person.

Visitors aren't technically required to wear a mask, but it is considered polite to do so.

Pictured here is a Crow Kingdom bird rider. Riding birds are not exclusive to the Crow Kingdom, but a lot of legendary Crow Kingdom warriors are said to use them, as well as the King's personal warriors.

Other common riding animals are horses, wolves and lizards. There are shark riders too, but Magic West doesn't take place near the ocean, so I wouldn't expect to see one show up.

>>58818
what about a water mage? they could bring their shark with them.

>>58819
yes, they could, but at that point, they're doing everything themselves, as the shark swims around in sea water the mage brought inland, and maintains though their own power, on top of having to feed the shark themselves and whatnot. It would be like if you brought a shark in a fish tank. It can't really go anywhere without you moving the tank for it.

A water mage who lives by the ocean and rides sharks would probably go on ocean based adventures, like being a pirate, visiting islands or distant coasts, and travel the oceans rather than going inland to the Magic West.

yeah but it would be awesome.

Quite a nice and consistent art style that you use. How long does it take for you to illustrate an update?

>>58861
Once I've got a pose in mind, probably thirty minute to an hour per picture.

Lizardfolk in the world of Magic West have the Racial Perk of Fast.

Not really a complicated perk, they're just faster than other races.

Draw a blue lizardfolk, if you would.

>>58947
In addition, they appear to have the racial perk of "Snazzy". :D

>>58956
Dude is totally demonstrating all of the class in that getup.

that lizard is dancing. or maybe... no it's dancing. maybe prancing to meet it's destination.

>>58959
oppa gangnam style

Magic West is going to be on an short hiatus. I'm currently tied up doing a big fanart project that I'd like to finish before moving back to Magic West.

Snazzy motherfucker

Quick test to compare normal bold text and Chrys's bold text

>>63097
Don't forget that normal bold text is differently colored in different stylesheets, and can also differ on different displays. For me, on my primary display, it looks fine in [Burichan] and [Nice] but the difference is a hard to see in [Pony] and nearly impossible in [Futaba]. On my true color display, the difference in [Pony] is a bit easier to notice.

>>63103
Well, that's the main issue. I might have to just change Chrys's dialogue to something more extreme, like This

>>63104
That's definitely visible.

I'm considering a small stylistic shift in Magic West. Not right now, but in the foreseeable future.

Mostly I would be raising the quality of faces so they're more unified, no more 'some people have full eyes, some just have pupils'!

Coming soon™ to a /quest/ board near you!

IMPOSTER !

makes me think of handsome jack but in his 20s

>>65877
Oh god. I thought I recognized those eyes and that smile.

>>65855

Go for it!

Here is the Chapter 1 end title card, without the text

I gotta admit I like him better with the slash eye.

>>65888
>>65855
This one does kinda feel like he's staring into my soul. Probably just that I'm used to the old eyes though.

you have ruined Rene for me forever.

And the Chapter 2 title card, sans text

dem robust sinews

>>65855
That face looks way too cartoony and overwrought for my tastes. I think current faces are entirely fine. There's no real need for them to be unified.

>>65907
Police round here be perverts, dawg.

I also prefer the current style, albeit from a comparison sample size of 1.
>>65907
Muscle wizard mage!

>>65907
If I had to take a random guess, I'd say she looks like a Water/earth caster, or Ice mage.

Ficus pointed this out to me so I share.

a description and... no listing of what we are wanted for. "wanted for being able to shoot fire."

>>65917
>>65918
I was aware of the status of our wanted poster back then, what I want to know is if it's been updated yet.

>>65918
And the ability to make dreams come true!

>>65917
I'm actually trying to visualize a pugilist highwayman. I'm imagining he just steps into the middle of the road half naked and punches out your horse, grabs your saddle while you're still struggling to comprehend what just happened, and walks off.

>>65921
Why do you need to visualize him when we met the real thing?

going by description alone is sometimes more amusing than in the flesh

>>65917
Obviously the perfect disguise is to just shift his pistol to the other side.

E>>65919
>>65924
>>65922
Yes there are some very interesting information there...but you all saw the other wanted posters too I hope? Specificly a certain female Satyr Blood mage?

>>65943
This is a water mage, though.

>>65947
Blood is Water/Spirit.
See >>54522

Still super curious about mages with primary Spirit magic. Also Spirit elementals and are they a thingggg

>>66120
It was discussed earlier with the fire elemental.

>>/quest/486635
So, whispering inmate.. think he recognizes the tells of a suppressed mage's aura and wants us to get him out too?

>>66392
Yes. Sadly as much as I wish we could completely suppress our aura anyone that sees us for more then a second will know.

I feel subterfuge has worked well up to the point but its reaching the limits of luck we can hope for. We have no choice but to accept helping this prisoner for the moment to keep him from blurting out our presence(not that all prisoners are like that but he seems an opportunist to me). Having him call the guard over while we sneak around through the cell block doors seems a good way to utilize him and also test if he is trustworthy. Then its just a matter of deciding to ambush the guard or going to find our brawling blood mage.
