hey there. so far so good… i begin to wonder if i shouldn't just wait until i have a whole page done to upload things, but any update is better then no update i suppose. nova! i suppose, this character has been gone for about 30 pages… or 3 years… <.< anyway, i changed a few things. her tattoo for one. you see… when i first started this comic, i wasn't very confident that my various characters would be obvious to the readers since i don't keep their features very consistantly… one way i combated this was tattoos and things. but, then the tattoo's actually became part of the characters and the story… can't just get rid of them all the sudden right?! but i will redesign them i think. i think a lot will change, though it should seem slight to the reader i hope. the story came before the world in eliada, so a lot of elements were put into the world defensively. i'm not sure if this can be easily remedied, but i figure i'll give it a shot at least. thanks for visiting :)
nekko - it's funny actually, so much actually fits okay as is. it's quite possible that my own thinking on the matter needs changing more then the story, hehe. regardless, i said i wouldn't restart eliada and so... i won't. hard bit is not letting it die instead, hehe. and it's worth doing just for the practice if nothing else XD
alejkhan - hehe, the watercolors... i know. it's just too difficult to get to them at the moment, scanner barely works, paper costs money... and i have a wacom now and need the practice! eliada will just fill up with necessary evils. product placement would be fun. can't you see khat slaying a bunch of kobolds and then turning to the camera and saying "i get my swords from armoredswordsmith.com, for the best selection and highest quality investment." <.<;
mina lunga - yes, watercolors... i may work with them as time and the real world allows. i can't imagine i'll give up on the medium altogether (digital seems a lot more like acrylic, at least the way i use it.) maybe i'll even stick with it this time for more then a couple of weeks q.q
also, paragraphs breaks... why do you not work like i want you to work?
I just noticed that you are updating again - welcome back, Kalliikak! I've missed you and your world. The electronic colors are beautiful, but I will admit to missing the softer hues of your watercolor. It made the whole story more of a dream that way. I look forward to seeing where the digital ink takes you!
I like this new coloring style. Though I like the watercolor look too. Ah, I'm torn! Well, either way, I'm still enjoying your artwork and seeing more updates. This is still one of my favorite stories.

Quite the challenge you have for yourself with redesigning. Still, its those sorts of challenges that make this worth doing, right? :3
