The time is split between the players sitting around the table and watching their characters interact in the fantasy world of Rollagag (original name changed for reasons). I reworked the player character (PC) designs, but not the player designs. Another quick sketch took care of that. This time, I didn&#8217;t bother with &#8220;finished&#8221; versions as I figured I&#8217;d just refine them as I was drawing the comic.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ageofanimus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Tabletop-Gang.gif?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3293\" alt=\"Tabletop-Gang\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ageofanimus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Tabletop-Gang.gif?resize=695%2C319&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"695\" height=\"319\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I had to play around a lot with the layout for the first page, because I wanted to overlap seven panels showing a headshot of each character over the main panel of the gang sitting around the table. Since I can&#8217;t figure out if this is even possible in Manga Studio, I settled for keeping the panels separate. It was probably for the best, since the overlap would have covered up too much of the main panel.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Anyway, here&#8217;s a preview of the first page. I blanked out the narrator&#8217;s dialogue. You&#8217;ll have to wait for the project to go live to read the narrator&#8217;s introduction.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ageofanimus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Preview.gif?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3290\" alt=\"Preview\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ageofanimus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Preview.gif?resize=400%2C566&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"400\" height=\"566\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">That&#8217;s all for this week&#8217;s blog.
