Welp, this has been done for a while but I figured I'd post it and see if I can't generate some interest.

This is the official cover-page to the comic project I'm working on with my friend James (Tolarin.) The printed comics look really spiffy, just so everyone knows ;p I've been handing out a few copies to folks who show interest when I mention it at work. In a nut-shell, James is writing the story into Word (I review/edit/second opinion/plot-hole-finder/etc) and then I draw the comic based on what's written. I have to take a few liberties once in a while since the writing-to-comic translation is a bit rough at times.

Anywho...I guess I can give a mini summary for the story in the form of something you'd probably see on the back of a novel:

"The skies have been scarred for countless centuries, marred and torn asunder by the phenomenon known as the Limitless Dark. Humanity survives its destruction, keeping a volatile peace through an Organization known as the Order of the Six Wings.

However, that very peace is beginning to crumble as the selfish ambitions of a particular man culminates in the kidnapping and exploitation of a young girl. Knight of the Fourth Wing, Gabriel Lugios, is called in to attempt negotiations for the girl's return...only to find the seeds of destruction have already been sewn."

I can't really say much more than that since that's really just the synopsis of Chapter 1 alone (and the first chapter or 2 of any story are generally just stage-setters where you get to know the characters and the world they live in,) and there's gonna be 3 Books, each with about 15 chapters.

SO...if anyone can give me a working key for Dreamweaver 2004 before I get a different copy, I can start posting the fist issue =P It's about 48 pages long and covers the first 7 or so pages of written text (out of 22, so the whole of the first chapter in comic form will be around 150 pages or so) and I think they look pretty freaking spiffy. I'm hoping to get all of chapter 1 finished by the end of summer, if not much sooner since I'm getting into a groove with my art again.

Getting pretty stoked about this!

Oh I'm ridiculously excited myself XD At some point I hope to get to post the first 50 pages of this thing online so folks can start keeping up with it there.

I actually just submitted the thing to IndyPlanet, so with any luck, it'll be accepted and posted for anyone to buy an issue. It'll only be like $6 but I really pushed the first issue to the limit, managing 48 of the max 52 pages, and the whole thing is in full color. Once I'm done with all of chapter 1 I'll be doing a print-run of Trade Paperbacks, with really nice glossy covers. Those will be closer to $15 I think, but Hell, I'd pay that much <_< Hopefully I'll be done with Ch1 by the end of summer, if not sooner.

D: When me or my father get a job again (my father got laid off about a month ago. Stupid economy...) I'll totally be willing to buy a copy for a read. :D
