I know I said 1 page updates, but these two really went better together. I also updated the cover for the comic, and since I’m partly colorblind it might’ve ended up garish, but anyway, here we are.
You might have noticed a change in font. The thing is, since the characters will be speaking different languages throughout the comic, I wanted to convey that through lettering. So the previous typeface was the visual code for Classical Gaelic (an early modern literary language understandable both to Irish and Scottish Gaelic speakers, provided both parties of a conversation were educated enough to have studied Middle Irish literary classics of course), and this one goes for Scots.
Scotland, 1749. Alan Moran, ' a troubled young veteran of a recent civil war, sneaks back into the country to get his hands on a lot of weapons (which he probably should not be trusted with, like, at all) and change the course of history and all that. Which might prove harder than it seems with a nagging ghost of an ex-comrade-in-arms by his side; a whole dragoon regiment at his heels after a killing gone wrong; and a bunch of unsavoury types seemingly after the prize themselves.
Caution: potentially triggering topics are explored in the comic, including, but not limited to, PTSD, alcohol and substance abuse, sexism, homophobia, slavery, lots of murder and other things that the 1740s were unfortunately full of. This is a story about some formerly good people in an extremely lousy world. But hey, ruffles, swords and swashbuckling, right?
(Seriously though, we do have ruffles, swords and swashbuckling here as well.)
