God can you imagine if he did a Glorantha comic, I'd literally die His comic series about the dungeon dwellers is incredible and his emotional work in The Rabbi's Cat is subtle, graceful, and moving. Imagine if he finished Prince of Sartar, I'd diieeeee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Dungeon is really nice. As a writer, Sfar is very good.My appreciation of his drawings would be less elogious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir_Godspeed Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 It has that slightly otherworldly storybook quality to it, which makes me feel very nostalgic, so it could be fun to see applied to Glorantha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You not ONLY want the guy to do a comic for you, you ALSO want him to Orlanth you a LBQ to bring you back from the dead!!?! 🤡 2 hours ago, Qizilbashwoman said: ... Imagine if he finished Prince of Sartar... Personally, I find a substantive change in art styles to be a problem for this sort of thing, really disrupts my connection to the work. I've no argument with a Gloranthan comic from him, but I'd rather see him engage with some other story... FrEx, the original Orlanth/Yelm conflict, the Darkness, and the LBQ... The Seven Mothers and rebirth of the Moon... Or even his own original story, a classic "Band Of Adventurers (a la Sfar)."

I mean, I understand that, but on the other hand, this is entirely theoretical because Sfar isn't going to write Prince of Sartar but it's a wish upon a star and my reasoning is: then we'd get the rest of the story?

Julian Lord Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Love your avatar Qizilbashwoman -- and both of Sfar's drawings. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'd guess that Sfar may be a bit of a Moomintrolls fan as well ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff is involved in that, too. If either Jeff or Kalin are too busy with paying projects -- or have any other distractions -- then the series languishes. I believe things have been distracting for a while, now... but I do think they plan to finish(?) ! Quote C'es ne pas un .sig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the story, by I'm not fond of the drawings. I agree with you the style is completely different of the one he uses in his fantasy drawings or in his 'Charlie Hebdo' drawings. His Petit Vampire's drawings, I find nice and I bought several to my last son. The rest, I don't know much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, of course chacun à son gôut. I can not say the fantasy presented here does a thing for me, loved Louise’s original work. Though it was very simple, it always satisfied, That anyone would do a homage is fine by me, she deserves much more, but an homage is always sweet so my critique is meant to be gentle. While I do like the art of 'Le chat du Rabbin’ did not recognize it by name, but have read it at some point, the work presented here does nothing for me. There is a trope that assholes and opinions are equally common so there is always that, but we still have ‘em anyway (rascals that we are). Hell, the girlfriend and I took in Chagall a few years ago when his work was on tour and while I was happy to see it, there are many non-literal artists I prefer... Chacun à son gôut, all over again.

Considering the joy these are bringing, I truly wish I could see what all see but me. Oh well, so as not to be a buzzkill I shall let all enjoy and shut the hell up with anymore negativity! :) Considering how much I have loved most of Chaosium’s artwork I have nothing to complain about.
