North she bade

According to the way giant society works, he would be the least among them, so him being the spokesman is because he’s the one they deemed expendable. I love Britomart’s restraining hand to the party, and that she’s willing to talk. Lawful, yes, but good.

So for those of you who could not understand why there was a giant black widow spider back in the Hillbilly Giant palisade? Now you know. The Witch did say the giants were moved by another force, and a darker force beyond that. Say what you will about the Witch of Washington, she was very economical about what she said, but none of it was inaccurate whatsoever.

I will freely admit, I am very proud of King Lars’ speech here, and Dee’s artwork really brought it home.

DEE’S NOTES:

With this page, there’s another visual and tonal shift in the style of the art. Going full-bore into the intensely deep, highly-rendered shadows on our giant here was just sooo much fun to draw. I really went a little overboard on the rendering, but I’m glad I did.

Using some radial line glowing from the sword also helped to separate the visual planes of the artwork here.
