Look, a new page! Some familiar faces here, and a new introduction (Iralbe the elder is seriously fun to draw).

Gee, I remember when I finished the first part of Wurr (over sixty pages ago) and was just about to change the scenery to doglands, I was seriously considering ditching the pencil shadings from the comic altogether. The shading is easily the most boring and usually most time consuming part of making a page, and I thought that as I was moving from shading empty rock-desert-thing to drawing lush forest would make the thing a lot more difficult.

It's not. Forests are actually pretty nice to draw, there are trees that offer rhythm and depth, and there are all sorts of shapes to play with, like rocks, fallen trees, pine trees and stuff, and bushes offer nice variation (and can obscure anything behind them). The Crater's desert is boring. And also harder to make look interesting. Found out that, for me, something vast and empty is surprisingly harder to draw, than a scenery with more things in it.

I thought it was an interesting observation.

This is a critique of the hole Wurr comic.

Artwork:

This comic is very well done with astounding anatomy. The use of hellhounds with different "abnormal" features makes the comic very fun to read. It's so well done that the abnormalities looks credible. You are very skilled with your drawing technique.

What I like most is that you've never changed your style from the first page to now. It is very agreable when you read the comic in one shot like I just did.

I removed half a star for some details bugging me (like the end of the lumber on page 125 wich is entirely black and kind of destructive in the page) and the rapid action scenes like in page 102. Since you don't have much of those in your pages and the rest is so well detailed, it feels to that style of action (with legs replaced by lines) doen't belongs to this comic.

Characters:

I love the characters of this story. They are all unique, not only in their look, but also in their attitude. It is easy to distinguish one from another. They are so lovable and interresting.

Scenario:

I like the way the story flows. Not too fast. Maybe a little slow on some parts, but not empty. The paste is not lost. I have the impression we're going somewhere with this story. There is just enough mystery and action to keep us interrested without overwhelming us.

Wurr is a fun well done comic.

I have so much to say.
This panel was my introduction. I was so fascinated about the chewed off leg of the giant rabbit that I had to see what happened to its leg. What]s ridiculous is that it wasn't until I continued my search that it occurred to me that maybe the strange thing here isn't the leg, but the rabbit.
For about 5 pages I read the comic backwards (I do this sometimes when I first get to know a new series to enjoy the art before the story sucks me in). And I got sucked lol.. in that is.
My page 6 was your page 1. It took me a little bit to bring myself to current, but in one night I'm found myself from page 1 back to the first page I saw (this one) and I was miserable when I realized I had to WAIT for more haha.
I'm hooked, mesmerized, and deeply intrigued. I love the fact that you don't dump information on the reader. The sign of a good author is someone who breathes life into their characters and you the reader become like a character in the story, learning the background stories as you go. The character designs are devastatingly unique and gorgeous, and your consistency keeps me in the moment.
I couldn't get to my "watch" button fast enough.

No way! They got a monster rabbit! :omg:
Well, anyway, that was an interesting observation and this page is amazing as always.

I think the problem with drawing big empty places is that there's nothing there to distract your eyes, like trees and the oh so helpful obscuring bush. So instead people look at all the little details, because that's all there is to look at, so you have to be extremely accurate when you draw them, otherwise it looks fake.

Also, in my mind, the crater rock is sort of a purple-gray color, but my brother always sees it as orange-y sand stone... it's interesting how your brain fills in for a lack of color...

Is anyone else having trouble seeing this page? For whatever reason my computer insists that it contains some sort of malware.

I LOVE the pencil shading- it makes it unique and realistic. It's just what I've come to see as "WolfPearl's Style" - blacks inked, shaded out so you can't tell.

HOT DAYUM, THAT'S A BUNNY????
