Oi! Tales of Bardic Fury: SOLSTICE STORYTIME

Solstice is almost here. In celebration I'm storytiming the historic fantasy comic I've been writing and drawing. It's called "Oi! Tales of Bardic Fury". It's set in Iron Age Ireland (361 AD to be precise) and it's about a bard named Bryan who gets sent to a tiny village that never heard music before.

The comic is mostly inspired by Scott Pilgrim, Love and Rockets, classic fantasy and Asterix and Obelisk comics.

My art was a bit inconsistent but I do improve and I still am working hard to get better.

>please ignore the bigcartel spam at the bottom of the pages. That site doesn't exist anymore so it shouldn't count as spam.


Without further ado, for better or for worse, let me present Oi! TALES OF BARDIC FURY in it's entirety so far-7 chapters and something over 200 pages. LET THE SOLSTICE STORYTIME BEGIN!

My concept for the first 4 issues was to make each issue seem like it could be a #1 first issue for a different member of the band. The main plot kicks in at chapter 5.


Without further ado, this is Chapter 2: SELKIE BLUES

*I'm noticing that in these early pages I have a real trouble with pacing and cramming too many words per page sometimes.
