From the Dustbin - Manchais Windguard Archer

Last month, I ran a little poll asking my Patrons if they wanted to see some more WiPs, sketches, and abandoned concepts, to fill in the downtimes while I finish some larger and more complicated drawings and stories in the queue. They said yes, so here's a bit of WiP nonsense and a behind-the-scenes peek.

This is a concept sketch for a Kroashent design, a Windguard Archer of La Manche, the county bordering Letha. La Manche has something of a warrior culture, descending from Northern raiders centuries before and forming a powerful Duchy that dominates the coast.

For La Manche, I wanted to mix two disparate elements into the Windguard uniform, similar to my Lethan Windguards and Gallian Silverblades. La Manche needed to reflect Norman and Viking influences, while keeping in style with the more modern Ancien Regime and 1st Empire inspired designs of Enora's crew and the other factions.

In the end, I wasn't really able to quite fuse the designs, and so this one sits gathering dust until the muse strikes again.

First glimpse of France by Tony Via Flickr: It has been three year since I last drove to France. Lockdowns put a stop to most travel abroad. On my last visit I was driving an Electric car. I didn’t venture too far the channel tunnel. On this driving holiday my next stop after arriving in St Malo is just over 200 miles away South along the Western Atlantic Coast. Although I can get there in one go without charging. I want to know how easy it is to charge up a car in France. How easy will it be.

Total number of migrants crossing Channel to UK hit record high

A total of 4,644 people have come to the south coast of England from France on small boats since the beginning of January, marking a record level for the first three months of the year.

The Home Office said today’s figures are higher than even 2022, when the highest number of Channel migrants ever recorded, 4,162, was recorded.

Over 2,000 migrants were brought ashore in March, many of whom were intercepted by Border Force patrols during the dangerous 21-mile-wide crossing of the Dover Strait.

Today’s figures are 23 percent higher than the same period last year, when 3,793 arrived in the first quarter of the year. Last year, a total of 29,437 migrants arrived in the UK after crossing the Channel, 36 percent fewer than a year earlier.

The surge means the number of migrants arriving in the Channel this year could break the 2022 record of 25,774. The statistics come shortly after Rishi Sunak continued to insist his “stop the boats” plan was working, even though the number of crossings in 2024 was ahead of recent years.

Downing Street declared Sunak’s administration was dealing with a “migration emergency” after a record day for crossings last week, when around 514 people made the journey in 10 boats on 20 March, making it the busiest day since the start of the year.
