The Start of Something...Hopefully Pretty Decent

For some time now, I have been involved in writing a sort of serialized comic fantasy novel with two of my friends - it's called The Tale of Westala and Villtin. The first book can be read at that address, the second book can be found here: The Tale Chronicler - it's not yet finished (and currently sort of on hiatus), but it's there.

For some time now, I have also been reading way too many webcomics (hah! as if there is such a thing as "too much" quality entertainment...), and, inevitably, the two came together in my head, and an idea formed; Wouldn't it be awesome with a Tale webcomic? Yes, yes it would.

So that's what this blog is for. Here I will chronicle the progress of the Tale Webcomic Project, provisionally titled Finding Home. Before anyone gets too exited, there will not be an actual comic for quite a while yet - for several reasons:

1. Finding Home takes place after The Second Tale of Westala and Villtin, and will contain spoilers for it, so I will not start posting any actual comic content until after the Tale passes the point of divergence. Which might take a while, given the recent rate of progress.

2. I haven't actually drawn any of it yet, and the script only consists of about 5 pages of thumbnails so far.

3. I have to learn how to draw. Tricky stuff, like 3/4 view profiles. And hands.

So, yeah.

Until Finding Home is ready to launch this blog will be where I post sketches, teasers, character designs, my drawing practices, and sundry other bits and bobs from the creative process. I will also use this space to introduce and discuss a number of other webcomics that I read and am inspired by (see long list on left). For the time being, the blog will update once a week, and I will try my darnedest to make that Wednesdays. Except next week, because I'll be on vacation (boy, she's off to a brilliant start!).
