Divide and Conquer... or just order out.

A lot of thought went into today's comic, because I knew what had to happen but I wasn't sure
exactly how I should go about it. I'd debated doing 3 or 4 different versions of the last scene to
see which worked best, but most of the ideas that I came up with just simply weren't true
to the vision of the storyline. After all, there's a reason that Gray went searching for
help to deal with this guy and his army... He and his men are brutal, and I needed to really get
that across.

While I'm actually kind of proud of the last panel, because it looks pretty close to what I'd
envisioned and I actually did a really good side kneeling pose, I was also somewhat
uncomfortable drawing it because I honestly don't want bad things to happen to my characters.
I like Gray, and wouldn't wish anything like this upon him if I had the choice... but this is a vital
part of the story. In order to understand the character, you have to know where at least
some of his pain is coming from.
