Tales of Revelia: JRPG-styled Fantasy Webcomic

[Mina Kobold]

Art looks good. I don't get the joke.

I believe the joke is that starting in an inn or tavern is so cliché it makes the readers groan loud enough to be heard in the comic itself.

But I'm not sure, I never really noticed any tendency for JRPGs to begin in taverns. ^_^'

[Elder Tsofu]

For some reason I expected the lands to be infested by halflings, or possibly ruled by them.

I guess I was going for a subvert/lampshade combo?

And why halflings? I don't recall handing out rings in the first comic.

JRPG's start either in small farming villages or with a character sneaking into a place he's not supposed to be.

Why not copying from LotR now you´re at it?

[Teutonic Knight]

I can forsee problems in trying to make the story seem both JRPGish and parody-ic at the same time. I'll need to decide which parts to keep and what to make fun of.

Cause I planned this with more story and less comedy, but with comedy on the side.

Belcas-tia. A long-shot yes, but it was the first panel so I didn't know what to expect!

[SamBurke]

Good stuff, VERY like Burlew's work, you even kept the panel widths etc.

I'll be back!

Actually panel heights. Widths change to fit the need of the action.

Yeah, I wanted this to seem like an actual comic, so I had to draw inspiration from the actual comic that this site is partially known for.

[SamBurke]

What I meant was the width of the dividing lines. A bunch of people have little or no lines there, but you kept it niiiice and thick, just like Burlew.

[Teutonic Knight]

Update. Now with dialogue!

More banners to come.

[super dark33]

The whispering guys must be brothers in the order of ico, or whatever.

[Ninjaman]

The bartender looks oddly fammiliar. could be This guy but i doubt it.

[Teutonic Knight]

Actually I forgot about him until now, and he had no inspiration toward the design of the bartender.

As for the whispering guys, well, the cliche is to say wait and find out.

[C-Lam]

The art is great! And the story seems very promising, I'll be back for more

[HalfTangible]

I pronounce this comic 'awesome'.

And will watch it.

[Teutonic Knight]

New comic, with plot exposition!

Maybe next time you'll get character names!

[Ninjaman]

Old dude is king. AWESOME

[super dark33]

is the cloaked humen a 'he' or 'she'? cant realy see it.

[HalfTangible]

I think she but it's jrpg based, not sure why it matters what she/he looks like

[Mina Kobold]

I'm pretty sure mammaries means female, but I'm a Kobold so...

Kobo Kobo.

Anyway, Looks interesting so far, although the repeat of the King's name is a bit odd, but that may just be me.

I assumed he couldn't see the boobs.

He DID say 'cant realy see it.'

[Gray Mage]

I like where this is going.

What's up with the blond guy in panel 1?

[Teutonic Knight]

Yeah it's a girl. You can't really see it because all she did was take off her hood, but obviously if this were a real JRPG you would either have voice acting or a fully drawn face with which you could interpret as female.

As for the blond guy, he was leaning casually on the wall in the second comic. This time he is supposed to be surprised at the blacksmith. No pun intended.

Give me more feedback/criticisms guys. You won't hurt my feelings.

Then you feel uncomfortable hearing "My name is Bond. James Bond." ?

[Mina Kobold]

Then you feel uncomfortable hearing "My name is Bond. James Bond." ?

Nope, but if you said "Hello Bond, James Bond" I would find it an odd way to adress him.

Now if you adressed him as "Almighty pant-maker of the Universe, James Bond" it would be hilarious.

Kobo Kobo.

I think it sounds... normal i guess.

[Teutonic Knight]

Then imagine a dramatic pause. Or should have I bolded King?

[Domochevsky]

Don't fall down the hole of random bolding.

That being said, i find that sentence acceptable. It straight up establishes that the main character knows who she's talking to and wants him to know it as well.

[Mina Kobold]

Nah, as Domo said that would just look silly.

I am positive it is just me being the silly reptile that I usually am. ^_^'

You mean the Riddly reptile that you are.

I assume you are a kobold in a Riddler suit.
