Note: If you've been here before, and you're wondering where tf did Metal&Blood go to, I've stopped drawing it; lack of interest and storyline.
On to follow. The first four pages are up, but because this is a new story, I've tweaked the reading format so you start from page 1 on the index and go onward to 4. Please remember that the panels flow from RIGHT to left! no wish to confuse you more than the story will :)
I haven't drawn a cover yet because I've been having too much fun inking the actual story and then I also have real schoolwork to do. I'm going to use this space (which few of you will actually read :P) to rant about writing and arting and this story. Today's rant is about the story and format of follow.
I used to draw a comic called Metal&Blood, which I've since lost interest in; I never had a plot or a point to make. However, I was left with three striking characters who had a strange little triangle going on between them, and since their story doesn't have to happen in any specific place, I've decided to use follow to tell it, without bothering too much about specific names and times and places.
Hopefully it will finish within 30-odd pages (which doesn't seem possible, looking at what is pencilled up to page 15) and I will learn something from drawing and writing it, like patience and Mandarin. Yes, I'm going to get help translating it into Mandarin. That is partly why follow uses the Japanese/Chinese book format of reading from RIGHT to left. The other reason is because I've gotten used to reading my manga that way and I think it's cool. If the pages don't look too spastic when I flip them I'll probably flip them and re-letter them, but for now I want inspiration to learn hanxi. Sorry.
Have a nice weekend,
