Oghme and Morrigan (p.047) - CúChulainn - the Hound of Ulster

Two Celtic gods, face to face

Setanta, after some prodigious leap, hits the fence of the Celtic fort he tried to reach in order to escape his pursuer. The commotion awakes a horde of crows, and the creature behind him comes to a stop.

This manifestation of Morrigan. Is. Epic.

You've created a problem for me. Do I keep page 45 as my desktop, or use the bottom of this page? XD

@JediWolfSister : Thx. I can cut a wallpaper from the bottom of the page if you like. (high res)

@antoine : Ah ben à l'âge du Fer, ça devait être considéré comme assez awesome d'assister à une confrontation entre ces deux dieux là. Vu que ce n'est pas dans les textes originaux, nous avons décidé de le faire à notre sauce;)

@DuchessRed : thx, Duchess. There sure will be some sort of confrontation.

@orangeman : Question is... who will win?

@ALL : all of you, have a nice Samhain ! nice Halloween ! nice Toussaint ! nice whatever it's called at your place

Beautiful stuff, great work. I might need to read over the start again as I found it a tiny bit confusing. About your use of the ogham script -- do you know that the latest scholarly thinking is that ogham wasn't invented until the 4th century AD?

@John the Bad: As my History 101 professor said once upon a time, "I'm telling you this today, but it could all be wrong tomorrow."

It adds a certain something visually, doesn't it? I think it gives the panels a visual sense of... oh... warning? That little sense that makes someone's hackles rise in response to the threat of the unknown.

@John The Bad : hi there, Breton hounds say hello
Yes, you're right, there's a whole polemic on the matter. Archaeological evidence dates engraved stones "not post dating the 4th century" (cf. wikipedia here for a start). As researchers didn't yet agree when we started the graphic novel, we chose to stick with the mythical explanation of Ogham being invented by Oghme/Ogma, because it suited the epic "feel" better. But this is, like any artistic choice, an altogether questionable one.
We do have to setup (yet another) site/page to clarify which element we borrowed from where, which are ascertained archaeological evidence, which are mentions in medieval manuscripts, and which are totally made up. This is long due, and hopefully I'll gather the time to do so in the next weeks.

@DuchessRed : our point really. This is an adaptation. We've always liked the look and feel of Ogham. Most certainly this has to do with our early fascination with Tolkien's alphabets, and Norse runes. Ogham is very specific, visually speaking. Moreover, it has not been much used (to our knowledge) as an artistic element in compositions.
And well... this is Oghme Comics

Pure awesome. Thank you so much! *hugs*

& I agree with DuchessRed. It definitely does give another layer of interest, historically accurate or no. I can't visualize it without it.

Is it Thursday yet?
