No.

I'd like to see it updated weekly over in the Fan Fiction forum, since it's essentially graphic fanfiction. That and, well, y'know, we really need more stuff happening over there. :D

Pretty....... YES!

Fan Fiction forum sounds best, but I'll probably track this down anywhere you wish to put it.

I second all the above....

I eleven it. But in fanfiction archive. :P
...
Anchorites? In Barovia? :?
As I remember GazI, saying that "a host of Anchorites" takes care of the sick is going a bit too far. :P

Yes. Might be fun.

Critique:

The positive stuff:

1) Your values and textures are great ! Keep it up !

The rough spots:

1) Practice on perspective and human figure. If you keep working, you'll get better. But be aware of this and practice away from the comic strip as well.

2) Use professional (or close to professional) comic fonts. You can find comic book fonts (freeware and for purchase) at http://www.blambot.com/. Your type elements also need to be smaller. Don't use type just to fill space. Don't let your type float over your panels randomly. And absolutely don't use decorative fonts for word balloons.

3) Box off your narration. It separates written elements from visual elements. When you don't do this, your typographic elements become visual elements that must be considered as part of the art.

Ha ha, a done deal then! Thank you everyone for your enthusiasm. You are all too kind.

I would like to apologize for misplacing this comic at first. I am, how would you say it...relatively new to this forum.

Special note goes to Lord Godefroi for his critique. Thank you, and I will certainly keep it all in mind. Since I've made pages 3-5 already I don't know if I can apply any advise just yet, but I'll take a look and see what I can do to make it more reader friendly. Again, thank you. It's good to receive input from someone with some seniority in this kind of work.

...HuManBing, that has to be the most intriguing praising I've seen in a while.

And so it has been decided: the story shall be continued. Upon the hour of midnight this November the 4th, I shall post the next page (and this time in the proper area). While I can, I will update this comic weekly.

The question remains though, in what way should I post said pages that would be most convenient for you guys?
