Greetings, there! ^^

I would like to introduce myself briefly.

Well, I have wanted to start my own web manga for a long time. Actually, I have wanted to have my own comic since I was 11, …or maybe before that.
The problem is, I have never been sure of my skills. I have always doubted, because I see so many good artists out there, doing wonderful things, and I am afraid of failing myself.
Creating stories is my forte. And hopefully, I can bring good stories, even if the artwork is not the best. My desire is to do something that readers will enjoy. And so I joined, to give it a shot.

I am a fan of the fantasy genre, but I also enjoy any story filled with emotion. Anything that transmits an authentic feeling should be good.

I can't start working yet, for several reasons. First, I am trying to decide which story to start as manga. Second, I don't have my own computer at the moment. It died three weeks ago, and I don't have the necessary tools to refine my drawings and include the necessary effects and dialogs. Another reason might be, of course, choosing a style and a format. And finally, learning some more about how to create good enough comics before launching a single page.

This turned out longer than expected, so please forgive me.

To those who read this entry, thank you, and nice to meet you. :)

Heheh, thank you! My computer is finally fixed, so I can start scanning and working on a first page, at least. I am happy and eager to start!

And then I shoot it. What, I'm not allowed to shot this newbie either?!

LOL, thanks! But I am probably starting with another story. The Starlight Chronicles is reserved for when I feel truly prepared. The story is that precious to me.

As for the story I am beginning with, I have not yet decided a title, but I hope to start next week. We'll see.

I totally get that. We haven't even started our "comic books" on here yet…Still learning all the little details of webcomic perfection, there's a lot of little details.

Then I guess this will take me a long time. I am okay with that. Good things come at the right time. I will enjoy my experiences as I learn new things about the comic world.
