Comics Goblin Ambush! [2023-15-09] [Datamining]

This looks really good, and I'm eagerly looking forward to more, even if I'm not quite as much of a fan of the more "murderous" parts. Ironic from someone who like GS, I know.
The only bits of criticism I can give is that the goblins don't look like they do in Goblin Slayer, which is a shame, since I feel they look better in the manga/Anime than like you use. Then again, that's a personal opinion, so make of that what you will.

I'm not the one you asked, but in my opinion it's the lack of a substantial size difference. Here, they look like disfigured humans/orcs rather than goblins. This is fine on its own but if you're going for goblins specifically it needs a different feel.
If I had to break it down into a few concepts:
1) Reversal of the size/power dynamic
Unlike orcs or other 'monster' races, goblins are typically shown to be weak and frail. Cannon fodder effectively. Where orcs and werewolves or hobgoblins or whatever can forcefully impose themselves on someone through sheer strength, beating a single goblin is fairly trivial in most settings, as they are in GS.
But either through cunning or sheer numbers, having them overpower people they shouldn't and take advantage of them is part of the appeal. This is especially true when talking about subjugating adventurer parties or other powerful characters. That, and people like an underdog. Or underdogs, in this case.
The difference in size also makes the positions they need to take different from regular monsters. Things like standing on their victims calves when doing it from behind, or having to force them down to 'their level' for example. Generally speaking, if you can replace them with regular humans and it still works, they could stand to be smaller.
2) Numbers
Building from the previous point, the horde mentality and group behavior typical in portrayals of goblins is part of the appeal vs other creatures. Swarming someone without care for taking turns and just using any part of them that's available tickles people with this kink, not to mention the orgy-like nature of scenes including them with everyone getting a taste of every goblin there multiple times.
3) Social structure
They're even often depicted as barely sapient beings driven by low cunning and instinct, and only really function in groups the same way a flock of pidgins or seagulls do; happily stepping on each others heads to get what they want. Only rarely do they have a power structure beyond 'might makes right' and that makes it kind of interesting to see how they can loosely organize an attack and capture, only to then immediately lose that structure the moment their prey is in their grasp.
Very much a primitive vs civilized dynamic that's used for these kinds of monsters.

yeah, but I am working on yet another version of gobbo already. Want some variety
I didn't mean to come across as preachy or demanding, that's just my interpretation specific to goblins from typical fantasy and Goblin Slayer specifically; larger goblins are just fine if that's how you like them to be!

Great post. Already gave me an idea for an upcoming gobbo post. Size is always a nightmare for me to get right as I always feel like I make them too small and then when I look again they are too big XD

Yeah, all the above points and the fact that they look more "monstrous" than what you use. The yellow eyes, the smaller bodies, the inhuman faces, etc.
They actually look like monsters rather than green-skinned humans with more hairs, basically.

Honestly I kind of the like goblins datamining was using, rather see something big and strong fucking these girls than some weak midgets
To be fair, there's Hobgoblins, goblin champions and Goblin Lord that can be used for that within the bounds of GS canon.Honestly I kind of the like goblins datamining was using, rather see something big and strong fucking these girls than some weak midgets

Been working on some new gobbo stuff but got delayed due to actual real life work BUT I did this little funny "Gob trouble" render
That modeling reminds me of the girl in the .. wht was it, the Goblin Ambush? series? the one with in black armor and has long leg. I liked her design, and especially the facial expression works, it was so great.
I still think the scene which she's being done by the giant monster is one of the best work i've seen.
