*deep breath*

All right; this isn't easy for me...but I'm finished with my manga site (I think... :stressed:

) and I've put up the first chapter for viewing. At this point, I'm not too sure how much constructive criticism I want...LOL ^^ Although I will ask to you to bear in mind that these pages were my first; the newer pencils are much better...^^ And these are just a hair cluttered. The newer pages are much better about that...heh, like I said, this is my first real manga and I didn't have loads of reference material like I do now...

One more thing. I didn't get my commission section done (thus the dead link), so if anyone wants one, please PM me.

Uh...did I mention that showing people my stuff makes me nervous, even after prayer?

Wonderful.

A new favorite to add to my list. Visually it rivals any other online manga I have seen. Its great.

Ready for more.

Yay Ink! Your manga is good. People will like it! And if they don't...well...then they just don't know what's good ;]

So what are your plans for the manga Ink??? Once it is established are you gonna make merchandise? (and can your host handle a lot of traffic?

)

PostPosted: **Tue Aug 19, 2003 10:18 pm**

The style is excellent.
Anxiously awaiting chapter two.

LOL! Yes, my host is ready and waiting for the traffic...

I don't plan to sell the manga or anything; I want everyone to be able to read this one in particular for free. (Though I may sell other manga series on down the line) Merchandise!...hmm...LOL That would be cool...I haven't given it much thought. I guess it's whatever you guys want...^^

BTW, if everyone likes the way this one runs, there are plans for a sequel...

I just haven't decided what all happens yet.

Thanks for the comments, guys!

They really mean a lot to me. (read: inspires me to write sequels...

)

Quite good. I'll certainly read more as it becomes available.

PostPosted: **Wed Aug 20, 2003 9:22 am**

Looks great! ^_^

Maybe, if you want to sell other manga that you do sometime down the road, you should look into getting it published in Anime Angels' Mangazine. Just a suggestion. ^_^

Cool, I like it a lot so far..!
But did you know that "Rivalen" is a Dutch word for "rivals"?

[color=darkgreen]Kinda halfway appropriate, isn't it? ]

cool, cant wiat till the next chapter comes out :dance:

PostPosted: **Wed Aug 20, 2003 2:03 pm**

I loved the art, the story, and the fact that you left us all hanging. ... no, wait ...
Seriously, hours upon hours of work obviously went into the manga and the web design. Steelblood is definitely a visual example for the word "quality." And she made it nice and fast for ever slow internet connections! I hope you get the fanbase you deserve, and through that God is going to get the glory! Awesome job, Ink!

PostPosted: **Wed Aug 20, 2003 2:35 pm**

I liked it as well. I especially liked the art style and website design.

PostPosted: **Thu Aug 21, 2003 9:26 am**

That was really awesome! You definitely have talent! I cant wait to read more!

PostPosted: **Thu Aug 21, 2003 10:19 am**

I haven't finished it yet, but it's awesome so far!

PostPosted: **Thu Aug 21, 2003 3:47 pm**

Wonderful as always, ink! :jump:

I like some of your page layouts, and the way you used different coloration in different panels. Plus your art, as always, is fantastic. I will continue reading Steelblood!

IRIEL WILL RULE YOU ALL!

Ok, sorry...I had to do a shameless plug for myself (ask Ink later). I just now had time to sit and read...man am I glad I did. Good stuff, mon Inky, good stuff.

Oh, this is a retarded question, but do you want me to delete the ftp place I had for you on my server now?

PostPosted: **Thu Aug 21, 2003 6:49 pm**

Yeah, you can clear up that space if you want to. I just really needed to have instant access to the files, and there was no point in pestering you all the time when I had perfectly good webspace (and brains enough to know how much bandwidth I had per month...*rolls eyes at herself*).

IRIEL WILL RULE WITH AN IRON FIST!

BOW DOWN TO ASH....er, I mean, IRIEL!

PostPosted: **Thu Aug 21, 2003 7:58 pm**

Man Ink! Your manga is great! Soon with the help of God! I'll get my manga out. Because my drawing skills are really Bad!

PostPosted: **Thu Aug 21, 2003 10:17 pm**

Aw, I'm sure it's not that bad, Benu. It's the fact that you're trying that's most important.

Hey, does anybody want to do some link exchanges to help me get the word out about my site?

PostPosted: **Thu Aug 21, 2003 10:30 pm**

If you've got a small button-type icon, sure, I'll swap links.

PostPosted: **Thu Aug 21, 2003 10:50 pm**

There are several different types of linkie things here:

http://www.krazyboodle.com/ink/linktome.html (I took it out of the frame, LOL)

Anybody who sees this and wants to link to me, just let me know here, or in a pm, or however's convenient for you, so I know what URL to put on my page.

Oh, and if anyone wants to use my sig banner, that's ok too. Just any ol graphic I have lying around is fine...

Or you could even make your own, doesn't make that much difference to me...

PostPosted: **Fri Aug 22, 2003 5:33 am**

How about you all dl that wonderful walking Iriel sprite and use IT as a link! Mwahaha....
The funny thing is, I'm cast as this character, and I'm not even sure I'm pronouncing my name correctly....ugh,then again, let's not even mention the Reh-va-lyn vs. Rye-va-lyn.....*groans*

PostPosted: **Fri Aug 22, 2003 7:06 am**

Okay, linked (look at the URL below).

PostPosted: **Fri Aug 22, 2003 8:30 am**

Sweet! Thanks! I'm heading out in about an hour, so I'll take care of all links when I get back.

And best to my knowledge, the proper pronunciation is Ry-va-lin.

And Iriel is like Ariel with an I. Hope that clears things up!

PostPosted: **Fri Aug 22, 2003 10:11 am**

WOW!

I can't think of anything else to say. I'm at a loss for words. (And THAT's saying something!)

PostPosted: **Fri Aug 22, 2003 11:54 am**

as always inky, good job. looking forward to more.

PostPosted: **Fri Aug 22, 2003 10:52 pm**

nota bena:
if you were wondering why I'm used so often in connexion with Iriel, it's because I was cast as her in the radio production. Inkhana is the voice of Kyla, hence her avatar. And Rose is the voice of Sydonia....I don't know what ever happend to this project, but I DO know I spent a good 4-5 hours saying lines that all had a mispronounced name *groan*

PostPosted: **Sat Aug 23, 2003 10:32 am**

The *radio* production?? Broadcast (or intended to be broadcast) where?

PostPosted: **Sat Aug 23, 2003 9:15 pm**

i read what you have up there, and i was impressed, ink!!
