“Even amongst border worlds, Svelben is remarkable in its ability to repulse even the most iron-stomached governors, due to its ten year winters. Appointees typically last three years there, even those formerly assigned to rebellious provinces that have had to deal with insurgents, espionage and worse. It is a quiet, uneventful, and very, very cold world. The only thing it is well known for is losing military patrols in seven day snowstorms.” - Holm Vexatus, Imperial Surveyor

I’m usually pretty chill on the quality of art for the comic–it’s a comic after all, and Abbadon puts out an insane number of pages, and he’s already one hell of a lot better than the competition–but I think there’s some questionable things here.

The brush used to indicate…snow? The weave of the cloth?..on white chain’s cloak doesn’t look great. It basically looks like a brush and it’s jarring since it’s the only hugely different brush used on that page.

Also, White Chain has major derp-face on the second page. I think it’s a combo of the odd angle of the “shot”, which is inclined to be derpy to begin with since it’s looking up from underneath her chin, and White Chain having that “Solomon disdain” expression on a lot of pages now. It stands out because I don’t think it’s intentional derp-face, but accidental, and Abbadon isn’t usually unintentional with derpy expressions.
