Chapter One
KimLuster on Nov. 26, 2017
This whole thing will be written as an illustrated novel (an image or so per page with text wrapping around the image). Each chapter will begin with a larger image that depicts something to do with the coming chapter (a sort of prelude). These means I can probably post a good bit more often than I did with the Godstrain (which was roughly every five days) - at least, once I get rolling!
Every once in a while you'll see strange, exotic looking words - these are my attempts to depicts snippets of the language and myth that developed in this world. I'll try hard to make it possible to glean what they mean from the actual text. Even so, in this comic's forum I'm also including a ‘Terminology’ Thread. Each time I introduce a strange word in the story I'll add it there, along with what it means (from the perspective of the denizens of this world).
Well, my posting might be a little sporadic until I get better grounded, but nevertheless, we're starting!
Thanks for reading everyone!

That's a very unique looking tree! Good work on the scenery!

I'm not good with the forums. Will have to learn.

Yes. I've never used it before.

Are you talking about the 'go to forum' submenu we all have above our comics?
plymayer at 8:17PM, Nov. 26, 2017
Looks good. Sounds good.

The higher productivity you get from writing is one of the reasons I've considered putting more time into writing rather than comics in the future. You can write multiple full length novels over the course of a year, but it takes me several years to complete one graphic novel.

That was one of my considerations!! I love this site and want to produce something everyone here likes, but I also want to get stories out faster (and maybe, depending on the quality, to a larger audience once complete). That's why I went the middle road. This will be a novel, but illustrated, and every single page will have art on it, taking up roughly half the page each time, with the occasional art-only splash page!! This is a webcomic site after all, and if I post here, art has to have first seat!!

Very dreamlike! The people (I'm assuming they're full size humans) look like pixies next to that tree!
KimLuster at 6:51PM, Nov. 26, 2017
Yeah, they're full size!! In this world, nature is turned up to eleven!!

Thanks Jerrie!!

wow! I would love to have a getaway like that. Turn one room into an art room, have another for your kitchen, maybe even a weight room. On "treehouse masters" they actually built something similar to this :D
KimLuster at 6:51PM, Nov. 26, 2017
I've watched that show many times - would I love to have some of the treehouses I've seen there!

It's a great place to live and all, but the stairs are a killer.
KimLuster at 6:50PM, Nov. 26, 2017
Yah! Darn bark scratches and rope burns!!

your style gets more rich and detailed all the time...and I see a lov-e-ly bunch of coconuts!
KimLuster at 6:49PM, Nov. 26, 2017
Thanks Dude!! Well, the page art likely won't be quite as rich as the chapter headings, but hopefully good enough!!

Nice landscape! Each one of those houses is is about the size of my New York City apartment XD

Thank you!!! There's a few advantages to living in the country, but it's tit for tat!!
