WAIT! i have been sitting here for a YEAR?! holy crap! well... I'm here to tell you, Royal is still alive. this year was a big year for me. got my learner's permit. had a family death, went to a wedding and met two of my online friends for the first time, been out more, thats more the reason i havent touched Royal in a year.
Hopefully Royal comes back soon, not promising anything yet BUT.
Tapas, the first home of my comic is going down. donno how many times i wished for this and now that its happening, im sad.
Royal: The Prince of Magic is being updated on Comic Fury, and Fables.pro
mostly Fables.pro
I will miss the comics that probably wont survive the shutdown due to the authors going MIA a long time ago.
Went through and cleaned up most of the old event stuff out of Royal's catalogue. so if you look and see that the episode count had changed drastically, thats why.
an update to show im still here, you cant be rid of me... >:)
as i work on chapter 7, slowly... I've come to learn that even though chapter 1 is a bit rough, things get better. consuming media showed me that the fact my plot had not come to me til about 2 years ago and doesn't rear its head til chapter 6 and will be brought upon in chapter 7 is ok.
It is also ok to have a main character not be present at the start (My one friend drilled it to me that One Piece, one of my fave anime has 10 main characters and one wasnt prominent til after the timeskip, which happens in vol. 61).
I have also learned that having dark moments in a comic is also ok. people may not like that Royal will touch on some dark subjects in the future but are these moments supposed to be liked?
Lastly, working on chapter 7. characters have had gotten a little more refined. Simon and Romero Wylder have gotten their designs more cemented. I also worried about that cause sometimes if a character changes too much too quickly, it could be very off-putting but then again it took me... 8 years to get to chapter 7.
Even thoug it had taking me so long to get where the story is now, I'm glad i didn't outright quit despite my physical and mental health going up and down like whiplash.
Vol 1's print will have to take a while longer due to having to both work on chapter 7 and trying to reformat vol 1 overwhelmed me to a huge extent. hope you all stick around to see what happens next, even if it takes a while.
UPDATE: UNFINISHED PAGES!!! you are getting unfinished pages! cause i just need to post something!
im back on working on vol 1, i have a new year to try to not sit on my ass and be depressed all the time. im going to try and if that means unfinished pages, it means UNFINISHED PAGES!!
(note if the page is unfinished, it will have a watermark)
UPDATE!!: Chapter 6 only needs 3 pages lined before i go back in for the finished renders.
I gave myself til new years to finish this chapter. that and Chapter 7 has become rather important storywise. so... hand tight!
