Too long since the last blarg, but I'll skip that and jump right into the points to be made! I'm making a healthy attempt at the regular updating of two pages a week, and have been pretty spotty so far. I hope that changes, but for whatever reason, it seems the more time passes, the less time I have to sit around and draw. Anyway, I'm starting up a new job which'll offer me a much more stable schedule, so I hope that'll translate into more consistancy with my page output. Time will tell...
I haven't gotten around to cleaning up the website, but I'll try to get some of that done on Monday, along with Tuesday's update. Fingers crossed! But, I really do want to get in there and update it, so that new readers can just read that and be caught up to the current storyarc.
The main reason that I wanted to write out a blarg was to address the fight that just happened with Aerason and Sive. There's a reason it wasn't the end of the "Blood" arc, and instead the beginning of the "Noble" storyarc. It really starts a transition for the tone of the comic, at least that's how it works in my head. The action will be a bit more magic-based and destructive throughout the series. I'd compare it to the manga series that I'm drawing a lot of inspiration from lately, namely One Piece and the like. But, it'll be handled in a more realistic manner. People will get scarred, die, or be dismembered, so as you can see with the sort of fight that Aerason had with Sive, they'll be tough to escape unscathed.
"Noble" was written with a lot of manga influences, and it'll be fun and action-oriented arc. Though, my goal, is for it to contain a lot of character development and revelations like "Blood". Either way, I hope you like the prologue that'll lead us into the rest of the "Noble" storyarc. And as always, shared your feedback and comments. Those always brighten my day and usually fire me up to get some drawing done! Keep voting and keep reading!
