That was a close one, Raphael. Luckily for him he had a human pal to invite him into the house…

Already ahead of ya;)

Five bucks says the human in leathers is a former purger agent who is working for the vamps due to necessity. Necessity of what is not yet clear to me.
I’ve got a few ideas though, one being that vampires might be the lesser evil and he’s gotten caught and stuck between two rather unfavorable, and uncomfortable, proverbial rocks.
Either way, Dude knows something more about what’s going on than the main cast cast of “Good Guys” or us.

… I feel ignored. … well for this post anyways. >_>
I mean, I can understand people not noticing this bit after my alteration of the line given to describe the death of the PC’s dad in the “memorable event shit just happened” overview of a mural in the chamber of fate cut-seen of F1, but still…. You’d think I’d have gotten something by now…. particularly since my just under an hour old post just got something. >_>

Coming from a guy covered in blood and guts, look who’s calling who filthy…..:P
Julie
it’s hard for them vampires to gain perspective;)

Rather common trend: Vampires tend to see humans as vermin and/or cattle.
Either way, that irony is still a bit amusing.

Oh my! Interesting…
Why is it always the poor farmers that get horrendously mauled and slain? I blame the bourgeoisie.
But I Iove the detail hinting at the action–especially the pitchfork that has pieced his coattail. They tried.

I try to draw extras separately in my sketchbook. Even if they are only going to be there for a few panels. For this we figured most rural farmers ward against vampires, but his human thug let him enter their home. What would they have done? I drew each member and when I got to the mother I had her grabbing a big farming tool to protect her family. Sadly she failed but not before almost getting Raph 😉 The tool changed but it helped me figure out what to do with that shot.
Very cool you put so much thought into this! It reveals a mini-story of its own.

plus the steak knife sticking out of his thigh; and another one in his back
Julie
In my scheming of the scene I imagined the kid did that before Raph knocked her… well dead. Good spotting!

you’re actually breaking our hearts, here. Just imagine having your house invaded by that thing and there is literally nothing you can do. You try everything but just watch it kill everyone in your family. The mom with the pitchfork is super sad. So, well, uh, thanks for making me sad today…I guess.

“But they were farmers, not soldiers, and fell.”
If anyone gets the game (well games technically but they all have the same over-arcing story, two are just expanded versions of the first, the third a rework of the second.) That sentence was modified from, they will get an internet cookie from me. And if that bit in () wasn’t enough of a hint… the first game was on the original Xbox and became a rather long living brand name.
That said, five bucks says the human in leathers is a former purger agent who is working for the vamps due to necessity. Necessity of what is not yet clear to me.

YAY! UPDATE! Finally >_>

Well, the plot thickens, drastically.
