Thanks!  ;D I'm glad that you like what I've done so far, but I've gotten a few negative comments about the plot as well.

And rightly so... I mean, right now the plot seems pieced together from fantasy cliches and poor storytelling - it's rife with deus ex machina, plot holes, and coincedence. And I worry that readers will see the first few pages and get turned off before they read the whole story (once I finish the tale of course...)

I don't mean to sound arrogant, but I'd just like to reassure readers that I'm not just making this story up as I go along... every event insofar has been planned out with considerable effort. Most of the seemingly random occurences along the journey are setups for more significant plot events later on... but there's little more I can say without spoiling things.

let's just say that I expect the overall story and plot elements to improve greatly once chapter two arrives.

I'M AWARE OF THIS
I'm in the process of colouring page #13 right now.



Krumbs suggested I prioritize page colouring based on plot importance rather than chronological order. It's a GOOD IDEA.

Damnit, Fault, now I want to write a story and put it up on this forum. I BLAME YOUUU

And it doesn't help that I see all the character in an art style similar to yours.
