PURSUERS HYPE
O, tumultuous heaven, O, unfavorable stars
You beat me by like a second.
Why isn't the Gunwitch there? Did Abbadon forget about her?
Aw shit son!
Looks like the beggar is about to bust a move.
>>78044911
She's riding the broom.
>>78044926
Oh! Absolutely did not recognize her with her hat off.
So the big baby and the guy with the ear harp are servants and not really fucked up humans.
Freaking love the living Tome guy.
>>78044953
I'd figure anyone know who's really weird looking is a spirit and not a person
This is a comic about wizards
>>78045042
I consider anyone who wears forehead decoration to be really weird looking.
>>78045058
No offence Abaddon but I've seen this exact same concept executed much better
>>78045067
That's racist, man
>>78044913
Dude I'm so fucking pumped to see the beggar in action. Abbadon has been hyping her up pretty much since the beginning of the comic and I want so badly to see what she's about.
>>78045549
She'll probably just stroll over and everyone near her will be cut to ribbons instantly.
the /co/ booru lewds are steadily increasing
>>78045645
>inb4 she dragon kicks mottom in the face
>>78045027
fun fact: the guy who came up with the tome guy (most/all of the pursuers are based off of fan suggestions) comments very frequently
The comments section of the site has some of the least cringeworthy roleplay that i've ever seen
>>78045805
i know im 100% hot for bookface and harphead
>>78045863
Is it you? Your mileage may vary on that. I personally can't stand it.
>>78044831
>>78045027
>One of them have to protect you
>The rest will try and kill you
>Who do you pick?
>>78045092
What, and you didn't post it?
>>78046011
Beggar Knight aside the gunwitch cause she's hot. Or Monkey for the same reason.
>>78046011
Same answer >>78046186
>>78045058
I liked it better when i could only see the first 3-4 panels
>>78044831
Oh hey whats fatty doing here?
>>78045027
God this seems like something Guillermo del Toro would go nuts over
>>78046613
>Del Toro done KSBD series
I'd fund it
>>78045027
love me some INBSVLD
>>78044831
I love the knight design to the left. I hope they all get some panel time to show off
>>78047640
i hate it. he looks gay.
>>78047720
>things my dad has said about me.
I hate that based on previous sketches the only one who stays relevant is fat bitch in the back
>>78047770
Pursuers spinoff comic when?
>>78045805What excactly would one search for? I'm not getting anything on any of my searches, full names or abbreviations.
>>78047827
Kill_six_billion_demons
Theres only 4 pics
>>78044831
Gun witch a cutie 3.14
>>78045092
>>78046016
Talkin 'bout this?
>>78047770
Because she's not a fan character and Abaddon actually made and planned her to be relevant?
>>78049708
she's just stood around and looked menacing so far, I hope there's some sort of payoff
>>78051531
She appears to be one of the surviving demiurges. Perhaps even the one Ciolle stole the key from.
>>78044831
Oh man, I'm going to hate seeing these guys get killed off.
>Gunwitch with no hat on, actually flying on a broom like a witch
>INGSVLD shows up
>Eris's little tea mat
God damn I love this.
I wish it came out more often.
I know it's a spoiled thought since so many webcomics both look like shit and take months per update but this is so good looking and fun that I want it a lot
>>78052538
I mean twice per week with two three update weeks per month isn't bad.
>>78044831
I love the art and the character design. Everybody looks like he has a story of his own.
>>78052745
Yeah, much better than when it was twice per month.
If it were any faster quality would start to suffer.
This ain't a c&p, mspaint hackjob.
>>78051671
I think Abaddon once said that the was a legendary general in the past, not a demiurge herself.
>>78053961
In the backstory we get where whatszymsname is describing the demiurges, there's two or three panels of a character that looks an awful lot like her, only seen from behind (and one shot of a drawing of her on a fan). It's also heavily implied she's the demiurge that objected to organizing in the first place.
It's right before Ciolle interrupts xir for being boring.
>>78053514
That's the sure sign of good character design.
I can't wait till Eris Lo Kai gets fucking eviscerated by Maya there.
>>78053961
>>78054230
Yeah, I think this is what she used to be before fading into obscurity, putting on weight and becoming a wandering hobo knight.
Also, I think it's implied she used was Meti's apprentice.
>>78054842
It'll probably happen, but not too soon. I remember Abaddon saying we may learn the backstories of a few of the pursuers more indepth, so I imagine they're not being killed off THAT soon. That, and I'd hope Allison fights at least one of them at one point.
>>78045896
no it's not me. and emphasis on the fact that "least cringeworthy" can still be cringeworthy
>>78055916
The dude is one of the guys that goes to Abaddon's livechat though, he's had like 3/4 characters submitted.
>>78056332
>tfw have no job so I can't be a patron to stuff that's really cool and become friends with Abaddon.
Sorry in advance, I'm a buyfag and a noob. Where can I get a physical copy of this comic?
>>78056820
You can't yet
>>78056866
WHEN
>>78044831
Am I missing some tertiary information about this comic? Because I have no idea the fuck is going on most of the time. Like everyone else is talking about deep lore and devil castes and shit.
>>78056890
soon
>>78056902
Read more than just the comic. Look at every comment, remember poster's names, they usually come back. Go to the various tumbrs, read the MSPA quest, find the tabletop system somewhere online. There's way more than just k6bd.
>>78056902
Do you read the stories under the pages? You don't need to read them to understand what's going on all you need is the comic. Reread it again if you don't get it. There's extra stuff we'll talk about.
>>78056958
oh jebus. That is way more effort than I am prepared to put in. Thanks for the info though.
>>78056988
Hey, I golds are the 2nd most powerful, not greens!
>>78057085
They are. That must have been a mistake.
>>78056641
The live chat I was in was kinda cool but not super interesting honestly. The one I dropped in on mainly talked about panel structuring, Berserk, Unsounded, Warhammer. Abaddon is quite reticent in giving too much away about his comic as well so you don't get anything too juicy. Mind you I'm a shy bitch so YMMV. It felt very organic but not in a hugely exciting way - I think that's because the crowd was quite small and uniform.
It was like a bunch of mid-twenties to mid-thirties hipsters (Abaddon included) and a cool older (maybe?) lady with a gnarly voice. They were almost all goons. I'm kind of curious about Abbadon's background after it though, he talks with a pretty refined English accent. He did mention running a session of the RPG for patreons which would be neat.
And after it I did go and make up the difference of what I dropped my K6BD pledge by to pledge to a bunch of other webcomics and tabletop stuff so I must have enjoyed it quite a bit on some level.
>>78057292
Not a mistake, but a switch in decision. That sketch page was made before the drinking game with Vladok, and before Wielder of Names began at all.
>>78057555
I used to be a regular in Dan, Zack, and JR's streams before they stopped being friends and that was really fun just to hang out with guys who made webcomics. I imagine it's not much different.
>>78057806
It was definitely more muted than that.
>>78057648
I think it looks better that way. From noble/fancy back to evil looking wouldn't be fitting.
Ebons have class though
>>78048086
that's actually stupider than abby's comic.
>>78057555
Hey dude, thanks for dropping by on that one. I think it was a little more muted because I did a live drawing, it's usually way more chatty, even I was pretty disappointed with how non-interactive it felt. Was giving it a shot. It was cool to hear from people though. In the future I'll probably chat more casually (like in the first two) with people and just hang out for two hours.
>>78057085
I swapped this around, if you see any sketch stuff it's usually my early design process or non-canon (such as pictures of cio with extra arms and not wearing her coat)
>>78056953
I'm talking with a publisher, it's going very slow but I'm getting good responses and from what I've heard this is kind of expected to take a while
>>78056902
What are you confused about anon? It'll help me to know so I can clear up stuff in the future.
A lot of people read the extra tidbits below the comic and the stories. They're totally unnecessary to the main comic - for example, the different colors of devils are pretty clearly talked about during the drinking contest section.
>>78059189
I'll also mention the crowd has been surprisingly diverse in the past, I've had people from germany, russia, serbia, and (finland, I think?) drop in - there was a point where there were only 3 americans in the 12 person chat, myself included
Looks like posting is back up
>>78059189
Hey abbadon, do you have the whole storyline planned out already? also do u have a definite ending in mind because I've seen some worries about KSBD spiraling out of control like Homestuck did
>>78044831
fuck yes more gun witch, youre doing good things Abb
>>78059189
I had a few questions too, if you don't mind.
Do Devils need something to posses in order to exist outside the void? Is that why Cio looks different in Hell 71 (not just the coat of arms, but her twiggy legs and thicker horns)? Do the genders of devils change with their mask color? How does moving objects in and out of the void work? If a human can bring their clothes and weapons into the void, why not their body? How long do you anticipate this comic to run for?Will we ever see Princess again?
Thanks! Sorry for the big dump of questions. Always a pleasure to see you in these threads.
>>78059189
I don't mean to say I didn't find the technical stuff you were talking about interesting. The streams I've sat in before were just a lot wilder, I think.
I didn't drop my pledge because of the hangout either, I just overpledged to try and push you to a goal at first - I had already pulled it back to the max level before the hangout. IDK, I'm not trying to say there was anything wrong with it I'm just giving my thoughts.
Also yo where are you from?
page 9 bump
why so slow today?
>>78061760
Little new lore. All you can say is "looks cool", that's about it.
How do demons use names? The shorter and more feared their name is, the more powerful they are? Or it the other way around?
>>78062036
yup, that's it. They make their name shorter by tricking people into naming them something shorter. The shorter your name is, the more implicit it is that you're known world-wide (or multi-world wide) and you get promoted in color.
>>78059622
yeah man, there's a very definite arc and structure to things that should become apparent in the next dozen pages or so
>>78059992
they don't, I made possession its own thing, which is why Preem Nand and his daughters are weird and freaky. Devils are *mostly* male or female depending on their mask colors.
People don't really, in fact, bring anything into the void, what you bring with you is a shadow or impression of the real thing that can look and function as real. Same thing with all the booze the demons have.
I expect the comic to run about 5 years at its current pace, but it might be shorter than that depending on how I draw certain arcs. Probably like 40-50 pages left in this one.
>>78060085
Hey no worries dude, I won't shame anyone for lowering pledges - it's literally a pledge after all, it's up to you. I think it's crazy in the first place that I've been able to support myself this way, I consider it a huge privilege
>>78062188
bingo
devils have a 'true name' kind of deal going on, when they reach better understanding of it they grow in power and change in color. They end up with a shorter name,
>>78048057
I don't know why but I expected her to have longer hair, at least eair length. I'm kind of disappointed.
>>78063880
Are demons light weights? I noticed they were only drinking beers and wines for the drinking contest.
>>78066151
The expectation is for witches to have long, dark hair. The design of her costume kind of makes you expect that, too, but I absolutely LOVE the way abba subverted that.
>>78044926
Gunwitch.
>witch
Riding a broom.
I love it.
>>78055391
oh. good call.
>>78063880
Abbadon, are you ever going to draw/write for a printed comic?
>>78059189
>Cio can't have multiple arms without the coat
But that was actually her unique feature, the whole bug-like look.
>>78063880
Abbadon, just wanted to say love what you're doing, keep it up. Do you think you'll be doing any other merchandise besides the book, that might be able to be viable sooner? Like shirts, bookmarks, drinking mugs, etc? I'd buy the shit out of some duplicate steins/glasses from the drinking contest.
I need a Humble Uktukli Pepe.
>>78059189
Abaddon how do I become friends w8th you without giving you money?
>>78061760
4chan went down again today is my reason.
Does Gun Witch have robot legs?
>>78069048
Here you go.
>>78063880
>Hey no worries dude, I won't shame anyone for lowering pledges - it's literally a pledge after all, it's up to you. I think it's crazy in the first place that I've been able to support myself this way, I consider it a huge privilege
Yeah but I'm just saying the stream had nothing to do with that. I pledged at over $25 and dropped it back to that as I had always intended to, before the stream. From re-reading my post it sounds as thought I dropped the pledge because of the stream.
>>78063880
>5 years
I know I'll buy the shit out of some hard copies whenever they come out. You planning on publishing them by arc?
>>78044831
Ugh, what an idiot. I only now realized that humans are black in the void because they come from a black flame and servants are white because they come from the white one.
>>78072565
God why didn't I realize that sooner. You gotta love reading a comic that's written by somebody with WAY better attention to detail than you.
>>78070606
Wow, this site really is no more differemt from reddit now.
>>78072565
>>78072728
What about the green guys then? Are they servants as well?
>>78072750
They are of a specialised race, imbued with only a part of the spectrum.
>>78072835
I'm sorry, what?
>>78044831
I decided to start reading this last night
I ended up reading all of it in 2 hours
what the release schedule for this? I was kinda hoping that I wouldn't catch up so soon
>>78057085
>>>78056988
>Hey, I golds are the 2nd most powerful, not greens!
in-comic, golds show as second most powerful, which I am cool with.
Gold should be more stronk.
>>78073040
Tuesday/Friay with a Sunday update every 3 weeks or so. 10 comics a month.
>>78073040
>>>78044831 (OP)
>I decided to start reading this last night
>I ended up reading all of it in 2 hours
You have only barely touched the surface, new anon.
I've read through it about four times, and STILL am finding new stuff in Abaddon's pages. It is crazy how dense that artwork is!
For example, note to the far right, that Princess Blueberry Esquire has joined the pursuers.
She looks so tiny and defenseless next to those monsters, but by the Gods, there she is, following The Incipient Godking who created her.
I fucking love that.
>>78073113
That looks more like a random shortstack
>>78073113
>>78073161
Yeah, that's just a random blue imp.
>>78058552
Are you a wizard or something? It's the only way I could imagine those comics would illicit such a strong reaction
>Yeah, that's just a random blue imp.
Yeah.....
I dunno. That imp has a sort of fur ruff around its neck, just like ex-vladok.
Also, there's seventeen other characters in that spread, and every one of them is a pursuer, ie, came from Hell 71. Except this one little lonely imp. Who while not prominent, does match the one that Allison just made.
I'm thinking it's Vladok.
>>78073952
Looks nothing like Princess' mask. It's just some minor devil.
>>78054842
I don't. Lo-Kai's probably my favorite of the non-Maya pursuers (yeah, Layla's more attractive, but I've stopped waifu-ing characters from this comic). Smarmy, arrogant old men are hilarious.
>>78074289
You can like a character and want to see them get bodied. I for one find Preem Nand cool but I want to see someone lay the smack down on him.
>>78074376
True, but I don't want Eris Lo-Kai to be killed by Maya right away. Dude's got illegal wizardry on his side. I'm hoping he'll be able to put up a fight against Murder The Gods, or at least escape being butchered somehow depending on how strong Maya turns out to be.
>>78074421
Maya is definitely not going to be doing any murderizing right away, Lo-Kai and the other pursuers are probably safe.
>>78074421
Maya doesn't have a reason to attack anyone yet. It's in every pursuer's best interest to wait until the last possible moment to start attacking the others.
>>78074437
>>78074470
I should have specified. I meant "right away" as in "as soon as the violence starts".
>>78063880
So what's with Beggar Knights? Are they like mercenaries that refuse to take jobs but will fuck you up if you mess with them or if they find a worthy cause? Are we just not supposed to know for a while?
>>78074523
They're humble ascetics who live and fight only to serve. The eschew typical trappings and limitations of others, coming and going when and where they see fit. They devote themselves exclusively to righting what their unique and incomprehensible insight tells them is wrong.
Sometimes they work as mercenaries, because you gotta eat.
>>78074523
They're mendicants, as obvious by the fact that their proper name is Mendicant Knights. As for function, they're something like a mix between the knight-errant and youxia concept.
>>78074289
>I've stopped waifu-ing characters from this comic
How come? That's oddly specific
If you cast your shadow in armor into the void, do you still have armor there?
>>78074421
I'm pretty sure Maya is vastly more powerful than any of the other Pursuers.
>>78075515
Maya's also a fat, out-of-shape drunk.
>>78075779
I think she was a fat, out-of-shape drunk even before and after she was the most powerful swordswoman in the universe.
>>78075515
that's a given based on her scene at the noodle stand
>>78057555
>They were almost all goons.
That is not good news.
>>78075905
Not if >>78055391 is Maya in the past. Note the hair, hairpin, and shawl.
>>78075779
Doesn't matter if anyone who gets in a certain distance near you is cut into ribbons
>>78072747
>The site that made all the memes before Reddit existed
>>78044926
oh good, I was worried she was killed offscreen or something
Looks like Allison's got her own fanclub~~~
>>78075779
Yeah. Not strong at all.
>>78076587
We know nothing about the people she was fighting, nor the capability of the Maybe Sword. It's entirely possible she's coasting.
>>78076628
>radial slashes all over everything five feet away from where she was sitting
>Everybody's dead
It wasn't even a fight. She just killed them while eating soup.
>>78076628
> Maybe Sword
Wait, what? Cribbing from Miéville?
>>78075779
>Masters ever getting significantly less powerful with age
>>78067447
I've got stuff in Prophet volume 4
>>78069746
man if you want to hang out just message me on twitter when I've got a hangout coming up and I'll link you
>>78072541
yessir, should be like 4-5. We're about halfway through the current one
>>78072750
yeah! If they were all white it would be a bit boring I think, so I've just gone with darker and brighter colors. The angels so far have been red blue and orange for example
>>78074523
the knights haven't really been gone into in the comic yet but what people have guessed so far is pretty accurate
>>78076813
I found out about the probable sword after I wrote the Maybe sword actually. It works very differently, don't worry
>>78076024
it's definitely Maya in that panel. She's not in her best form at the moment
>>78077588
Do Maya's powers have anything to do with eating the noodles? Or did she just take the advantage of the opportunity for the sake of gluttony?
>>78077588
Shit I need a twitter
>>78077588
Keep up the great work Abbadon, you're awesome.
Any progress on the RPG? I want an excuse to start another /tg/ thread.
>>78077668
?
???
>>78078462
Yeah, this weekend or sooner I should have a new edition out
>>78077588
>>78078475
I've never seen an artist more based and grounded to his comunity then you.
Awesome work of you
>>78078475
Thanks for interacting with us, man.
That's nice.
baaaaaaaaamp
>>78077588
>I found out about the probable sword after I wrote the Maybe sword actually. It works very differently, don't worry
Well shit. Now I need to try and figure out how it works.
