Most of the comic has very little dialogue. Since Thadar is alone, he has no reason to speak, therefore most of the writing would be in the form of a monologue said by Thadar, describing the creatures and environments he encounters.
As you can see, this is a rough thumbnail page. I didn't really know how I wanted the creature to look like, other than being quadruped and have a large tail.
This next page continues directly from the next. The creature pins Thadar against a pillar but he breaks free by sticking his sword in its neck. Thadar backs off then jumps onto the monster's back.
I decided to detail the second page a bit more, also adding more of what the creature looks like. I liked the idea of a chimera, but I only wanted to make it have one head instead of three. I also wanted to make it look more menacing, so I changed a lion's head to a kind of dog/goat hybrid.
In my final drafts, I want to change some of the blocking. I don't like how Thadar always seems to be facing the same way, with his right arm back and his left out or forward. Also, the creature changes sizes throughout the page.
