[Skeleton Army - Week 6]

Here we go, the necromancers are doing some experiments to see if covering their skeletons in gold makes them any stronger.
Seems to be helping a little bit, and it has the side effect of making them religious instead of magical. :P

Another fun batch, and the hulking mace wielder is definitely the scariest of the bunch.
But I gotta point out the hunched over skeleton. Poor guy can't even stand up straight, and the magic ritual making his bones turn blue and float is clearly far from being complete.
Once he's a floating candle looking monster he should look far less distressed. lol

[Skeleton Army - Week 5]

I like the implication that the Skeleton Ratter isn't even a fighter based on the fact he has a 'RAT' bar instead of a 'STRENGTH' bar. If he steals all of the skeleton rats, he wins the fight. :P

Otherwise! Another fun batch of skelly bones! Personal favorite this week has to be floating skull tombstone. That candle looks important, and adventurers better hope it's not one of those novelty props that clamps down if you try to take what's inside.

WURMxFUD responds:

Thanks for always taking the time to look at them! I was pretty proud of this batch overall, but my personal favs are definitely the tombstone and this variation of the gravedigger. Thinking I might try to do more of these in different tiers/promotions/power levels.

[she put a lot of effort into that present]

The long awaited crossover of moth and bird! :D

[Skeleton Army - Month 1]

Now that we're at Week 4, most of the main combat and defense roles have been met. You've got your main champions, your ranged support and the general infantry mixed with good range.

The common Necromancer would find most of their defense needs met at this point, but the summoner here is clearly no common Necromancer!

Now that a standing force can dissuade the vast majority of low level paladins, there is time to consider what long term success might look like. The gap between being a frightening rogue necromancer in the valley and a well respected lord of the dead is a large one, but I've got my hopes that this summoner has a good vision.

We might see a resurgence of subjects like Art, Diplomacy, Tourism and Baking amongst these skeletons if the town can get built up enough. :P

Best of luck!

WURMxFUD responds:

Thanks for the support! You right we haven't even begun to explore what a skeleton mercantile system looks like...

[Skeleton Army - Week 3]

As much I can enjoy the lighting of the skeleton firing the skeleton mind beams, the goofy coffin skeleton clinches this one for me because I just imagine him poppin' out like a turtle once a character gets too close to him. Hopping and swaying from leg to leg as he slowly clomps on over to them to attack. :P

WURMxFUD responds:

thanks I gotta agree, I had a lot of fun with that one! if I were going to animate these he'd be first on the list for sure, so much you can do with it

[TheMewx Comic #61 'Lemon!']

Further proof that just about anything can kill DMA: your strongest character. :P

Hopefully it's like the intro to the Tales To The Crypt Keeper cartoon and they all just sit down to watch TV afterwards. :P

Chop full of monsters and detail, this is a super detailed piece. Even The Scream up there in the corner is caught off guard with how much is showing up all at once. haha

Great work!

[Skeleton Army Recruitment - Week 2]

I know that each figure was drawn seperately, but I just picture that Heavily Armed Skeleton is just about to be absolutely ambushed by the Crossbow Skelly, who is just about ready to take the shot. haha

WURMxFUD responds:

Great at swinging multiple sharp objects around at once, terrible situational awareness (not a great combo)

[Froge Farmin']

It starts with a single lily pad, then he'll be growing several lily pads, and so on and so forth until he's got himself a whole swamp operation. :)

[Super Powered Dude]

Seems more like a freelance good guy with severe anger issues. :P
"YOU DIDN'T THANK THE BUS DRIVER AFTER LEAVING THE BUS!?" (Energy explosion)

Has high prices so he can live somewhere tropical and nice where he won't rage at people.
Strikes me as a 'Victor' for some reason, but that's just me. lol

Nice details on the hard shadows! With the chaos behind him, having some of the details against the pale skin tones with crosshatching makes this fellow stand out quite well from the background. A few stray lines with the lineart around the triceps and biceps, but I imagine that's deliberate just to show more energy and chaos to match with the background more, so it's likely intentional.

Otherwise! Solid posing and a very good understanding of anatomy/ muscle groups.
Keep it up! :D
