He’s in high demand.

Velkommen!
Thistil Mistil Kistil is a comic about vikings, Norse gods, and their adventures together (or against each other). Updates are on Thor’s Day.
Careful there Coal, you’re almost showing normal human levels of interest in someone
Oh no!!
Loki. Worst wingman, ever.
And he can even HAVE wings! What a butt.
Loki: “omg its so hard being the life of the party. why are you sitting here go dance with her ya doofus”
It’s so hard being popular.
I love how Coal’s expression progresses in this page. We can hear his thoughts without him needing to say a word.
This may just be me, but I am getting:
PANEL 1: “This is stupid. Bored, bored, bored!”
PANEL 2: “Oh, look. Hedda’s over there.”
PANEL 5: “Hmm, she’s kind of pretty.”
PANEL 6: “Oh CRAP! Someone saw me looking at her!”
Awww, that’s probably pretty close.
I love the small things that communicate without words. This is the beauty of show not tell and how well it can impact our appreciation of the characters.
Thank you! I certainly try to show instead of tell where it fits.
I love how you handle his eyes. Even when they’re not explicitly doing something supernatural or showing his old human colors, there’s something just a little bit eldritch about them without noticeably standing out.
Thank you! Yeah even when they turn green they still have the gray outline around them. Won’t see his regular eyes ever again…
