New Comic Concepts and Thumbnails

Added 2022-10-12 16:42:31 +0000 UTC

Hey everyone, how have you all been?

Over this past week, I've been fiddling with ideas, tightening up the design on some of the characters (you'll notice some small changes to the half-elf and the dwarf). I've also gone and drew the thumbnails of the layouts for the first 10 pages (out of 20 for the first chapter) giving you an idea of what the story will be about and how it's going to be shaped up thus far. I also sketched some auxiliary characters that'll be needed throughout the rest of the chapter (but not all of them yet).

All that is left is deciding on the name for the comic itself. I am of a mind to call it "Menagerie of Misfits", considering that all these characters have a dark past/secret which makes them undesirable companions to most people. But name suggestions are highly appreciated too!

Another thing I'm wondering is what side content to include in the comic. There is a lot of background about the world and the setting/universe that I could include, but these could get in the way of the story itself, so what do you all think?

Overall, I'm aiming to have a cover done for this week and the first page finished by next week. Hopefully you're all excited about this project like I am! :D
