And so ends issue one.

Thanks for coming along for the ride. I never imagined I'd get this far because I'm not really an artist per se. In fact I took up art seriously two years ago because I got frustrated trying to write this story as a novel. After years of bitter failure, I finally realized that since I don't like to read fiction all that much, this was probably why I couldn't write Endstone as a novel (LOL). However, I love comics and I dabbled in art when I was at college many moons ago, so I thought maybe I could get something done and tell this story visually. I don't know how successful this thing was, but at least I've accomplished more with Endstone as a comic than I ever did with it as a novel. And I've had more fun, too. And again thanks for coming along.

As for this page, I changed the look of the "god" of the Eternity Spire. He's a little thinner and nerdier. I went back and edited the other two panels where he appears previously. I'll try not to change too much stuff after it's been posted, but I'm still working things out with the story and characters so I may change some things on occasion.

If you have any questions or comments or criticisms please feel free to voice them in the comments section or send me a pq. I love getting feedback.

Comments from last week.

@Doctor Shadow - Yep. Cole hates being called a kid. I think it's the whole "goat" implication ; ) Thanks for stoppin' by
@DAJB - Ha! I was waiting for a comment about those hairy legs. We need more of them in comics, in my humble opinion.
@Hyena H_ll - No problem I realize that since this comic is posted once a week, having a name mentioned six or seven pages ago is like two months! The deer girl's name is Kyri Thunderhead and the evil chick's name is Colindra "Cole" Montaigne.
@armandoB - Thanks for commenting Armando.
@TheMidge28 - Thanks for the direction comment, man. My background is actually in filmmaking. I went to film school and I worked in the industry briefly in the 90s, where I did nothing of interest or merit. But I enjoy working out shot sequences.
@amanda - LOL. Unfortunately there's no ice cream in the Endstone world. Sad, I know.
@cyberdog - Thanks again.
@khard12 - Thanks. I enjoy drawing eye close-ups.
@df_karnovski - Thanks. Panel four was fun because I realized I could convey emotion through the movement of Cole's hair. I'm going to have to use that technique more.
@machinehead - Thanks for stoppin' by again. We'll get to "where" next issue.
@Lautaro - Thanks.
@Brogan and @Crimsonskystudio - thanks so much for taking the time to stop by. I appreciate it.
@Aghammer - Thanks. I always try to take care when drawing the eyes and hands. I think they are the key.
@Jabali - Nope, not a kid for sure.

Thanks again and keep on keepin' on!
