I believe I found a potential new favorite webcomic...the idea behind it sounds intriguing, the art is great, and I'm a sucker for tigers. Bring it on, comrade!

How big are the boar? Yes I definitely take artistic license here. But they do get large and dangerous. The Ussuri Wild Boar which inhabit the Tagia and Russian Far east can weigh up to 1,179 pounds and stand up to five feet at the shoulder. I’ve taken the most artistic license with my designs of the boar incorporating elements of several wild pigs including warthogs, red river hogs and bush pigs. Later in the story there is even a design inspired by the babirusa. Here is a sample of my design process.
