The Dead Soldier

Hammerhead is my ongoing webcomic action-adventure/ comedy in the spirit of early Dragon Ball or Avatar: The Last Airbender, set in a prehistoric world filled with cavemen, dinosaurs, dangers, and a looming threat to the world and everything in it that makes it special.

Here's the elevator pitch:

"Hammerhead, the jolly, dim-witted neanderthal guardian of the Dar Tribe, is the strongest man in all of Archaia, a land that time forgot. But his limitless strength will be put to the ultimate test when The Nulls, alien space pirates determined to steal everything that makes his world wonder, invade in force! Can our heroes and his friends' sticks and stones stand a chance against the high-tech invaders from the stars?"

Here’s the cover art for issue 1 and all seven pages that have been released so far to get you into the world and characters to hopefully hook you in lol. It updates Wednesdays (both here and on its own website from now on) and I’d love it if you shared it around and followed along! Thank you very much.

20 ft wingspans! How the heck would I get them to FOLD these without them dragging on the ground?????

For starters, find where the bones of the wing roughly are and bend them into shape. Then see where the tip of the longest primary feather would be (from the wrist where it bends) and then adjust how they are folded.

Remember that they're three-dimensional and often have a curve to them so let them curve forwards around the shoulders, be arched up if they have the strength, or have their whole posture adjust to compensate for balance and keeping wingtips off the floor.

Experiment with it and look to gifs of birds folding their wings for reference o:

Remember, when you’re writing about New York, Faces are as important as buildings. Dive deep into the subway, that gallery of portraiture; Bathe your eyes in that flood of bitter truth. It is not lovely, it proves no theorems, But there is no weariness it cannot heal. Generalizers on human trouble, Have you courage to face those faces? You, and you, and you, seen only once, Good-bye forever, and good luck.

—Christopher Morley, 1933
