Holiday Mouse has been updated, so please vote! There’s a new vote thing on ‘Top Web Comics’ where you can vote more to get extra images but I’m not touching that just yet. Maybe when the pages start up again 🙂
Some sketches I did of the cult members. This is a loose confederation of fringe or extremist members from various religious groups. It doesn’t really have a name yet, but I’m thinking of something along the lines of ‘The Order of Decency’. They have very strong beliefs about the correct way to live and even stronger desire to force everyone to abide by these ideals.
The pipes allow the cultists to breath a special incense that enters them into a trance like state, increasing their strength and aggression and improving their resistance to the magic of hostile casters whilst at the same time making them more obedient to their leaders and more susceptible to spells cast by fellow faithful.
Prolonged use of this gas , which is imbued with holy energy, can have serious and detrimental effects on a user’s mental and physical health. Over time it erodes the will and the ability to make decisions, removing the burden of logic and personal responsibility from the user. This drug is called ‘faith’.
The inquisition soldiers that accompanied Nero back in Ch1 also used this gas (it’s quite common in the servants of certain churches).
the one top left reminds me of a WWI trench solder with trench mace (when not colored in that is) I realy do love how these characters came out very original (all your work is lol) and very creepy/cool
Thanks a lot 🙂
Honestly, I do love me some creepy characters and usually have the most interesting plot\background. But them being religious fanatics, I aint going NEAR them.
Yup-religion can be a wonderful thing, giving hope and comfort to many people. In the wrong hands however, it can turn into a tool for oppression and an excuse to commit murder on a grand scale.
Apparently, its also and excuse to take massively large doses of ‘faith’.
