Thanks again, everyone for helping Delve rise in the ranks over at Top Web Comics!
This week, Bree gets a little too close to the man behind the curtain.
Just click on the smaller image or on the Vote button on the right hand side of the page (just below the Tanys Ad) to cast your vote for Delve, and you will be able to see the full image.
Gotta say, this is one of my favorites.
You did a really good job on this one. Excellent work.
Thank you!
Yeah, love this incentive much more than any other so far (and there have been very good ones). Any chance of becoming wallpaper?, it’s asking for it.
I’m not sure the vertical layout works for wallpaper, but I can probably put a high-res version in the gallery or something.
Put DM & Bree along the left hand side of the page and just extend the shading over the rest of the page, thus providing plenty of space for desktop icons without the icons obscuring the art
Absolutely, Ed. In fact I was thinking of doing it myself (basically just asks for a color grade and the “DELVE” signature) for my own private enjoyment.
Bree looks so sad. What has she done!? All DM wanted was to be loved….
I’m wondering, though – why is her hair grey rather than the usual blue? Does this take place in a hypothetical distant future when she is older (and yet still incredibly hot), or is it just that the colors are more muted in this scene overall than in the regular strip?
She does not look exactly “so sad”, more like: “sorry but had to be done” (i.e. stabbing the DM in the heart as he tried to crown her as queen of the dungeon).
As for the hair, I believe it’s rather the illumination and maybe to emphasize the tragedy of the moment.
Well, yes, that’s pretty much what I meant. She looks deeply saddened because she had no choice but to do something that she very much did not want to have to do, or at least which she felt she didn’t have any alternative. Even though DM was the one stabbed, I feel just as sorry for Bree.
You’re probably right about the coloring.
Reminds me of a Luis Royo piece
Ooooh, Royo is great. Although I’m more familiar with his older work and now he seems to have evolved to a Manara-like style of sorts that is indeed mega-pretty and ultra-perfect but maybe a bit too standard in concept.
Someday, people are going to be saying “wow, that’s an awesome piece, reminds me of an Andrew Hunter work….” (Or maybe they’re saying that already, I don’t get out much….)
I would not be surprised: Wormius’ style has evolved and surely improved a lot. I liked it already when the comic began (and sometimes I do miss that initial style, although the new one is very good indeed, not just better but also different: less black ink more color) and this piece for example is a clear example of how good he can get.
And that’s another reason I want it for wallpaper.
Thanks, all! 8)

That wasn’t quite the one I was thinking of. There’s a greyscale one, where the woman does look very sad as she steps into the embrace of a shrouded figure
Bree would be hard to resist she is a thief that can steal you gold and your heart.
Damn… I really wish that you could choose which vote incentive you got to see when you voted. Because I think I somehow missed this one and now I have to wait the months and months until it’s added to the vote incentives section >_<
*shifty eyes* There is a secret rite, long forgotten to the modern world, and spoken only in whispers in the dark of night. A way to view past incentives developed in the savage days before the vote archives. I cannot help you find this dark ritual, but perhapse another can.
The images used to be numbered, not sure if they still are. If so, just alter the URL accordingly.
And shhh! š
You sir, have my gratitude *salute*
