A grassy cliff looks out over a busted up dam. A small river runs though the hole, shaded from the rosy, afternoon sun.

I had an excellent break. I made plans for the next chapter and taught myself Blender, a free 3D program. All the frustration of learning the new interface was well worth the effort. I've only scratched the surface of Blender's modeling capabilities but it's already paid off. Chapter 4's cover is heavily based on a scene I designed in this new software. If you vote on TWC you can see an animated gif of my process. :D

      As always, awesome landscape! Never tried Blender but it looks like it's paying off, the cover looks beautiful. I'm looking forward to the new chapter and seeing what happens to our heroes. : )

        Thanks! I'm looking forward to when the party reaches this location and I'll have the model all ready to draw.

      Oh cool, a new page! :D
      Oh, blender the software used to make that short film Sintel, right? I'm glad I found this comic, I like your style of art and the story is very interesting!

        Thanks, Rue! I didn't know about Sintel but it looks like an amazing project. The world of free, open-source software is constantly impressing me. :D

        By the way, earlier you made a request for a link back button. Can you explain what you meant?

          I could not find anything under "banners" section. But that's OK. I'll just link back to the comic itself. :)

      OOoooooooooooohhh my gosh. I wish I could draw something as awesome as this... and faces. I really have trouble with faces, but I digress; you're back and ready to go by the look of it. I can't wait to see what this chapter will bring. Also, more architecture from Silas' time! Is Silas going to try to explain the dam's function to the group or anything like that?
