Arooo!

great work mate, thank you for sharing. Love the vignettes - very impressed by the way your minis look on the backdrops. And you've built up a veritable horde of supporting characters - they look so natural all together, reminds me of the set of GoT or something.

Look forward to more!

Thank you very much! Based on your "Arooo!", I assume you're reading the comic. Have you been checking the Lore Library and blog pages too?



Thanks for reading

Greetings lords and ladies!



New Big Fantasy Epic page today!

Next Sunday there's a new Lore Library article and the next comic page will debut 3/3/2024.

Thanks for reading

Greetings, lords and ladies!

First just a quick peek behind the curtain.

A gracious reader (and commission customer) sent me some terrain out of the blue:


This was exactly what I needed


I even got some of the stuff painted

And I got to work on some new characters for future pages:


Who's this little guy?


And more importantly, who's this huge guy he's serving?

But that's not all! There's a new Lore Library entry today:


This dead man won't stay dead!

New page for Big Fantasy Epic debuts 03/03/24.

Thanks for reading

Greetings, lords and ladies!



New Big Fantasy Epic page today!

Also thought I should show off the alternate version of the ballista guy:


Seriously, who are these two and what are they doing in Halbstadt?

Ballista guy looks good, a real bulky fellow.

Thank you! I'm sure exactly when he'll show up in the comic, but it'll definitely happen.

Thanks for reading

Greetings, lords and ladies.

There's a new Lore Library entry today:


Why would someone pay good ducats to have a giant man-eating frog captured?

New page for Big Fantasy Epic debuts 03/17/24.

Thanks for reading

Greetings, lords and ladies!

There's a new Big Fantasy Epic page today:


Run, Asphodel, run!

I've also been working on a few things in anticipation of Comic Fury's annual 30 Days Of Characters challenge.
For last year's challenge, I did a whole month of BFE reveals. I plan on more of the same in 2024


Fishmen? Living in the river and under the city? You must be mad, as no such creatures exist...

Next page for Big Fantasy Epic debuts 03/31/24.

Thanks for reading

Greetings, lords and ladies!

There's a new entry in the Lore Library today:


The hunters are coming...

Comic Fury's 30 Days Of Characters challenge starts April 1st, so once again I'll be creating BFE characters.
That's why there hasn't been a lot of photos in this Dakka blog as of late. I'm trying to keep all the surprises under wraps
Naturally I'll post a link here when it goes live.

Next page for Big Fantasy Epic debuts 03/31/24.

Thanks for reading

Happy Easter, lords and ladies!



There's a new Big Fantasy Epic page today as the plot continues to thicken.

Also, around 6:00pm 11:00pm GMT, the Comic Fury Easter Crossover Event begins. This is where various artists sign up, get a random participant's comic assigned, make a crossover comic with that comic & their own, and then all the comics get posted for all to see. Think of it as a Secret Santa but for webcomics. This year, I went in with Big Fantasy Epic and had to make a miniature of the main character from [REDACTED]. I can't wait to see who got mine!

The next Big Fantasy Epic page debuts on 4/14/24.

Thanks for reading

EDIT: the Easter Crossover host accidentally put the timezone in and can't fix it, so comics will load 11:00pm GMT instead of 6:00pm GMT.

Greetings, lords and ladies!

First things first; Comic Fury's 30 Days Of Characters has begun!


Well of course the entry for April 1st would be a fool

Go to the link and give it a look. Every day this month I'll be showing off new characters for BFE.

Also, there's a new Lore Library entry to check out.


We're going into the woods this week

The next Big Fantasy Epic page debuts on 4/14/24.

Thanks for reading

(note that anyone's noticed, but this went up late today because I had to file my taxes)

Greetings, lords and ladies!

The 30 Days Of Characters challenge is still going strong!




On top of that, a new Big Fantasy Epic page debuted today.

The next page will launch on 4/28/24.

Thanks for reading

Greetings, lords and ladies!

I know I've been slacking on posting here on Dakka, but that's because I've been very busy with BFE.

The 30 Days Of Characters challenge has been going strong and on course for an amazing 30th Day reveal very soon.



Also, there's a new Big Fantasy Epic page as promised!


Meanwhile, in the beer cellar...

There will be a new Lore Library entry on 5/5/24 and a new comic page 5/12/24.

Thanks for reading

Greetings, lords and ladies!

So I've been slacking on posting here on Dakka, but Big Fantasy Epic has been updating every Sunday without a stop, alternating between comic pages and Lore Library entries. I've also been working hard on characters, terrain, and props.


Scenes from a butcher shop


An updated version of Shortfellow


Progress on the marketplace

So there's a new Lore Library entry today and the next comic page comes out 5/26/24.

Thanks for reading

Greetings, lords and ladies.



I know there hasn't been a lot of activity or engagement on this thread, but Big Fantasy Epic is still going strong, updating the story every other Sunday. Things just have been crazy with real life, so the peripheral things like Lore Library pages and behind the scenes photos have slowed. I hope to remedy this soon when obligations even out.

Thanks for reading

A lot of fun to be found here already, keep it up!

Thank you! I appreciate that

There is a new page of Big Fantasy Epic today.

I'm hoping when the terribly hot & humid weather breaks, I'll be able to post more additional content aside from the comic proper.
Goddess, I hate summer

Thanks for reading

Greetings, lords and ladies!

I've just dropped a huge blog post with a behind-the-scenes look at Big Fantasy Epic:



Come take a look and feel free to leave a comment (you don't need a ComicFury account to comment).

Greetings, lords and ladies!

I got my hands on some new terrain!


Feels like the Universal Studios back lot


These will make for some great panning street scenes

The fact that the doors are hinged is a nice touch. I still have to base them to account for the fact that the miniatures have bases. It's the same thing I had to do with the other 3D printed buildings I got from Ender Toys, so it's not huge deal. A small priced to pay for such affordable terrain.


This one I painted up as Regno; the others will likely be done up as Castillo

Thanks for reading

The working door with the mini behind it is fantastic, good find!

Greetings, lords and ladies! There's a quite bit to show off today

Thank you! I'm really loving these terrain pieces, even if they have limited scope for any actual gaming:


I think I like the sandstone better than the marble


Just another day in Castillo

I've recently finished some more buildings that have been in varying states of completion:


Once again, excellent affordable 3D printed stuff from Ender Toys



This brings me up to two complete sets; I just need some of their ruins and I can play Mordheim again

And you can't have a fantasy setting without cultists slinking around the shadows:


This totally isn't foreshadowing

Lastly, there's a new Big Fantasy Epic page today! Give it a read and leave a comment if you like (you can leave comments as a guest, you just have to fill in a name):


Halbstadt after dark

Greetings, lords and ladies!

There's a new entry in the Lore Library today:

Thank you! When the stars align (ie, I have time, inspiration, and it's not too hot/humid), I can crank out a lot!


Oh noes! Cultists!

There's a new a Big Fantasy Epic page today and it's a doozy!

New page on 8/18/24.

History of the World, Part 1 "The Inquisition, what a time!"

Great figures!

It's been really hot and humid as of late, so that makes painting difficult. But I've still managed a few things:


Knight of the Order of St. Lacrimosa


♪♫ Ghost girls just wanna have fun ♪♫


A crusading knight without a crusade

There's also a brand new page of Big Fantasy Epic that features Faolán fully wolfing out in his battle against the cultists of the Order of the Blind Siren.

New page on 9/1/24.
