Well, this is different! At least a little different from what I've been posting lately. I've been trying to find a place to host this, and it had a home for a while on smackjeeves but I was never really pleased with it. Rampage Network was supposed to pick it up from there but I haven't heard anything and I really wanna start posting!
Anyway, this comic will be in color. Hopefully it will all work out OK, I'm so used to doing journal comics now, it's different to get into the swing of things. I hope you'll enjoy it. Music lovers I assure you, you will be pleased. (I hope) I adore music and pretty much everything in this comic is based on music (and art, of course). This darned thing is 4 years in the making and has been redone quite a few times (don't ever redo a comic, it will get you nowhere!).
After my style change (which used to be super anime until I started studying comics) I got a lot of negative feedback from old readers who preferred the anime style. It was a little saddening, but I took it with a grain of salt, I want to make comics, that's all that really makes me happy.
On top of this I'm doing a comic for school, so expect an update a week. I haven't figured out which day, yet, but I will pick a day by the time I update next.
Thanks for reading everyone! I really appreciate it. :]

Looking great, and I love the color AND style. The naysayers can go eat a ham and tuna sandwich. Can't wait for more, darling! :D

Yeah, I think I came across the cover on the SmackJeeves forums once. Or at least, I hope I did. Otherwise I'm having that weird daja vu again. x_x
Anyway, I look forward to reading. :D

What does she present? The suspense is killing me!

@Kyo AHHHHHH!!!! I know. I'm so terrible. This is the prologue so to speak, if anything just an insight into the protagonist's thoughts, mind, what not.

Yay! A color comic! Gotta get me one o' those already :D

Read the summary and am SUPER looking forward to your update! It sounds like fun!

also, animu people CAN BE spiteful of things non-anime, don't take it to heart. Just because something is different from what they'll used to it doesn't make it bad. Someday they're realize that things aren't better just cause they're "imported".
I would like to see some of the older versions though *elbow elbow* are they still on the internet and can you give me a link???

haha Thanks! It's a fairly long story, not too long but long enough, I'm glad it sounds like fun :]

Yeah, I learned that I can't please everyone! Either way, drawing too anime like just wasn't feeling right to me, my heart just wasn't in it. I am definitely doing this for fun, so color is a big part of that, I love to color :D hehee It's definitely different, but I like that, cookie cutter stuff just doesn't work for me, maybe that's why I like Comic Fury so much, there's so much originality! :]

actually, all the old pages are on deviantart, most of the story is the same, I didn't get too far, but I'll find the links for you :]

Then using the back and forward buttons, that should get you to the pages, hopefully it won't spoil much for you, but it's definitely changed in a lot of ways :] Thanks :] I appreciate it!!!

oh and by the way [late] you can arrange rampage comics to be hosted on comicfury. It's kind of complicated

TacoTotes 17th Oct 2009, 7:56 PM edit delete

Haha thanks :] that fell through though, so I'll be hosting it on wordpress when I start getting the site all ready and pretty.
