‘Welsh & Shedar’ webtoon launches today on Allskreen
The Welsh & Shedar webtoon launches today on Allskreen and the Ankama Launcher, six days after the animated series premiered on November 5. This prompt release allows audiences who followed the initial animation to immediately access an alternative telling of the events and characters. The digital comic format provides a distinct entry point into the narrative that complements the televised episodes without requiring viewers to wait for additional content.
The series consists of 12 episodes in total, with a new one made available every week. It supports four languages including French, English, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese to reach a wide international audience. Access is granted through the dedicated Allskreen webtoon platform as well as the Ankama Launcher application, ensuring multiple convenient options for readers to follow the weekly updates.
The webtoon extends the Welsh & Shedar narrative by weaving in romance, conflict, tragedy and adventure. These genre elements enrich the portrayal of the characters and their world, which forms part of the larger Krosmoz shared universe. The format shift enables different pacing and visual emphasis compared to the animated series while maintaining continuity in the overall lore and setting.
Lily Roux serves as the writer for the opening episode. She has worked as an assistant screenwriter at Ankama over the last two years after building her abilities on her own through a strong interest in cinema and pop culture. The illustrations are created by Mig, an established Krosmoz artist whose previous works include the manga Ogrest along with DOFUS Monster: Zatoïshwan, Shak Shaka and the novel adaptation Puzzle from Franck Thilliez. Sébastien Lamirand handles coloring duties, drawing on his background in fantasy and science fiction projects such as Les Conquérants de Troy and earlier Ankama webtoons including DOFUS Touch: The labyrinth and Savara.
Several artists with prior Ankama webtoon experience join the effort. Faorynn has contributed to Tales from Externam, DOFUS Touch: The labyrinth and Savara. Cha previously worked on Olympe and Karn : First Blood. Li.Hild participated in Speed Run Jam and Tales from Externam. Boky took part in Oryana and Karn : First Blood. Newer voices include Nasak_art from the Dragon Princess animated film, GoMar from the Vikings Versus Cannibals short film developed with Inoxtag, and Quentiron who was found via the Ankama Editions Award.
