HELLO, ALL.
A TRULY BEHELA-WORTHY TASK, THIS IS.
IT HAS BEEN MORE THAN TWO YEARS SINCE I BEGAN WORKING ON SURVIVING THE GAME AS A BARBARIAN ALONGSIDE RHY-ME.
THE SKINNY CAT...
...GOT CHUNKY.
TIME FLIES... SHOUTING OUT BEHELA EVERY SECOND OF THE JOURNEY.
BUT LOOKING BACK AT IT... IT'S REALLY HARD TO BELIEVE THAT WE'VE COME THIS FAR.
SO MANY THINGS HAPPENED IN THE MEANTIME. IT FEELS UNREAL.
FOR EXAMPLE...
RHY-ME (ADAPTATION SCENARIO)
...WELL, COME TO THINK OF IT, I DON'T THINK MUCH HAS HAPPENED (TO ME).
WHAT A RELIEF.
RHY-ME, ON THE OTHER HAND, HAS BEEN THROUGH A LOT.
THERE JUST ALWAYS SEEMED TO BE... A LOT OF WORK TO BE DONE.
LACK OF SLEEP
WEEKEND DEADLINE
BUSINESS OPERATION
RAISING TWINS
BECAUSE THIS TITLE REQUIRED A DEEP UNDERSTANDING OF THE LORE,
WE HAD TO MAKE EXTRA EFFORTS TO ENSURE QUALITY.
GET UP... DEADLINE IS COMING...
WEARY PRODUCERS...
WE WORKED TIRELESSLY WITH PRODUCERS TO COME UP WITH THE BEST IDEAS.
I'M SURE IT WAS TOUGH FOR MOCCASIN, WHO JOINED US IN THE MIDDLE OF SEASON 3, AS WELL.
HI, I'M MOCCA...
EVERYONE HAS BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH. REALLY.
I MEAN, I'M OUTTA HERE.
ESPECIALLY THE ART TEAM, OF COURSE.
ERWEN (LONGBOW)
ABMAN
RAVEN AINAR
TOO MANY LARGE GROUP SCENES!
MISSHA
BJORN
NEARLY 20 FULL EPISODES COVERING
QUALITY DEMAND CONTINUING TO INCREASE!
THEY BEHELA'ED THEIR WAY THROUGH IT ALL.
AS FOR ME,
I SPENT MOST OF MY TIME... GETTING ASTOUNDED BY MY OWN ACCOMPLISHMENTS.
ORM'S LIST OF THINGS TO DO
WORK ON THE STORYBOARD
BE FABULOUSLY IMPRESSED BE STYLISHLY INSPIRED FASHIONABLY YELL BEHELA
BEHELA ALL THE WAY, BABY.
EPISODES 72 AND 73 ARE THE MOST MEMORABLE ONES FOR ME.
I FEEL LIKE I WAS ABLE TO BREAK OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE AND TAKE A BIG STEP FORWARD AS A STORYBOARD ARTIST.
A FEW WEEKS AGO...
...I WAS ON MY WAY TO TAKE THE SUBWAY WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE MAN STANDING IN FRONT OF ME WAS READING THE SERIES!
AND IT WAS EPISODE 72!
IT WAS A SURREAL EXPERIENCE.
I WAS EMBARRASSED WHEN I REALIZED THAT I WAS LOOKING AT SOMEONE ELSE'S PHONE ON THE ESCALATOR.
I FELT ASHAMED.
I'M SORRY. I'LL NEVER DO THAT AGAIN...
LASTLY, MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS ARE... BJORN AND AMELIA.
THIS PANEL MAY BE BETTER IF YOU LOOK AT IT SIDEWAYS
NOT TO MENTION MISSHA, ARUA, AINAR, ERWEN, RAGNA...
GOOD OLD SIR!
GREAT WARRIOR
HANDSOME WAYFINDER
DRUNKARD
...DWALKIE, TAKELAN, BEARMAN, ROTMILLER, HIKUROD...
BEHELA AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
GOOD BYE!
