Okay, Okay! So this is ISN'T actually a real literary post. But this was all I could really contribute. Story-wise, this IS the de-coated, dangerous version of the monk I did that little fact sheet about. Those clawed gauntlets he is currently brandishing are the 'guraem' gauntlets mentioned in the descriptions, if you care to remember.

I guess, to justify this post, I should also explain where I'm going with this. With my resources the way they are, I can't actually draw and publish this comic, but I can still develop and write it. That's the basic idea, anyways. So I'll be posting pictures and maybe even sketchy comic pages every now and again. I'll still be posting 'real' writing here, but I think that writing a comic also qualifies.

Let me tell you a little bit about what my idea for this comic is, and give me some feedback:

The story is set on a planet that was literally broken up long ago - what's left are four main islands, each housing their own seperate nation, with a scattering of tiny little islands surrounding them called the 'Free Islands'. Each of the four islands are connected by a Great Chain, and it is through this Chain that trade and negotiation is possible.

Zardool is the longest island, and also the wealthiest and most technologically and academically advanced, as education is held in very high esteem.

Krogoa is the largest island, and the most heavily forested, where the culture is very pacifistic and centered on family and community.

Bardosa is the most arid and desolate island, and thus the least productive agriculturally - the people are tough and hard-working, and they rely greatly on their religion to govern their land and maintain order.

Ssardeel is the second-largest island, and widely considered to be the most beautiful - the culture is centered on the arts, and it is also where 'magic blood' is thickest and most powerful.

This is all situated in a universe where space is not the airless vacuum it is in our universe - living organisms with lungs can breathe outside of their relevant atmosphere without any equipment. This has made interplanetary travel possible for many centuries (please don't question the science. It's magic. Shazaam.), and contact with alien civilizations is nothing new. There is even an alternative version of Earth floating around somewhere, but we'll get to that later.

Soooooo....yeah. That's the foundation for my comic. Will I ever make it real? Maybe. When I know what I'm doing. And have time......do dodo dodo dooooo......
