Another Kark Doodle

The Kark is a guy. He's a big guy, right? Tough. I don't know what's happening here. I guess somebody's throwing something at him? Well, they are now. In short order he'll get up there, and they won't throw things at him anymore. Or throw things in general. Ever again.

The Kark hates it when people throw things at him. 

Kark in Rope

This doesn't seem like a good situation, does it. Well spotted! Because it's not, no. I don't know what the deal is with all these ropes, but they certainly aren't comfortable. I suspect the Kark had a bit of a run-in with a spider machine.

Another drawing of Celie and the Kark. I'm still trying to get a grasp on exactly how to draw the Kark. Obviously big and beefy is a necessary character trait, but compared to the last picture of him I posted on here, this guy is pretty husky. So I'm still getting a grip on exactly how big the big guy should be.

The Kark hurt his back and he's about to square off with somebody in spite of the pain. Celie's supporting him and looking tough, but honestly she should probably tell him to back off. Don't worry, Kingsley is probably swinging to the rescue. Or hiding, who knows with that shifty little cyclops.

The irony of narrative is here: in a story with a doctor, characters get hurt to give the doctor something to do. Authors are not benevolent gods.

I saw a photograph that made me realize I don't do a lot of action poses any more, so I decided to give one a shot. Here's... The Kark levitating what appears to be a bag of quicklime?

No, wait, he's tossing it.

As always, Ebling's architecture is fun to imagine but really hard to draw. Think Mirror's Edge if every level were built with assets from TF2. There's a smidge of nontraditional Chinese city planning in there, imitating some of my favorite places in Asia. Hakka villages, imperial gardens and hutongs. The buildings are huge, twenty story skyscrapers impossibly crafted from wood, supported on beams over a lake. I don't know why the lake is so important, so don't ask.
