Estra - The Birth of Magic

[Zweanslord]

Estra - The Birth of Magic
Script by Blayze, Art by Zweanslord
Fantasy (non-D&D) Comic

And so, a new webcomic begins. This comic will be a relatively short one. The maximum is 20 pages, though we are not completely sure on the actual number yet, but it will be close. It is based on a request for a short comic script in an earlier thread by Zweanslord, where Blayze's concept was selected.

The comic will update whenever Blayze feels like making a script and Zweanslord feels like making a comic. However, the intention is to finish the comic within two months from the first comic (10 february 2008). Okay, so that will most likely not happen. Ah well. Well, as you might have guessed, this one is not advancing further. Blame me, the artist.

Shall I assume this is a D&D setting then?

[[Insert Neat Username Here]]

The art looks good, and the plot seems like it will be interesting. I'll continue reading this.

[Blayze]

Not quite, Lying. It's a fantasy setting, but not a D&D one.

[chrono]

Two thumbs up for the art, looking forward to seeing more of the plot.
Great work guys.

[Nameless]

Can't say much about the sotry as you've only put one page up.

The art looks very prommising though, Can I make a suggestion though?
Make the line around the outide a little bit thicker, it will do wonders to your work.

[Quinsar]

...interesting I'll read it.

[iop]

I'm curious.

[Zweanslord]

Comic #2 is up in the first post!

Hope you folks like it.

My apologies for the length of time between the first and second comic; I had not expected that this would take that much time. Therefore, I am shifting my goal of finishing this in one month to two months.

Furthermore, I followed Nameless' suggestion about making the lines thicker, so I need some feedback from the lot of you. Are thicker lines an improvement?

[Lyinginbedmon]

The thicker lines are definitely an improvement, though quick note: In the penultimate panel the parent is saying "unil your father hears about this"

Looks good, I'm intrigued as to what happens with this female lead. Per chance does the bloated torso indicate that she's with child or is it just an art thing?

[Zweanslord]

Thanks for noting the small error; it is fixed now. And yes, the female lead is pregnant.

[Szilard]

Just to let you know I'm reading this...

[Zweanslord]

Comic #3 is up in the first post!

Hope you folks like it.

This one was done in a fast manner when compared to the second one because I did not have to draw so many new things and I was in the mood to go on. The next one will not be done quite so fast.

Also, any feedback is welcome.

[Ceska]

Ooooh, cliffhanger! Not bad, especially the art is good for the style.

[Bayar]

The. Most. Cool. Background. EVER !

[Blayze]

Yeah, Zwean really went to town on the background. Bonus points if you recognise the titles on the books, and big bonus points if you can work out what the faded text on the torn cloth in the second comic spells out.

Oh, and if you've got any questions about the plot, please ask me so I can be as vague and annoying as possible. ;)

[Bayar]

The blue girl ? think I know something smilar...but I wont go into details now...inapropriate

[chrono]

The plot thickens, at times the level of detail in the art is mind-blowing. In a word - great :)

(As for the anime/hentai I know what they are but I'm not into that stuff enough to know if they share a common author or anything to give away the 3rd title)

[Blayze]

Nah, there wasn't a third title. At least some of the books in there had to have illegible titles. ;)

[Bayar]

should it spell Kill ?

[ArlEammon]

The Maker of Ever Dream approves. :D

[Nameless]

This is very good, a lot of detail, great job!

[Szilard]

Have I told you haw much I like the detail on the bookcase yet?

[Zweanslord]

Comic #4 is up in the first post!

Hope you folks like it.

And thanks for the compliments!

[Lyinginbedmon]

For a while there I thought it was going to turn out to be a Sphere of Annihilation, good thing it wasn't

So, possible labour or just laborious journey?

[Blayze]

Lyinginbedmon: Here's your answer (See below).

No, Fiona is not going into labour just yet. I can't tell you exactly *why* she's in pain, sadly. I hope you can piece it together from future comics. :P

Edit: I fail at spoilers.

[chrono]

Floating portable holes FTW!
(nahh, just messing with you)

Now I want to see more PLOT!

[Szilard]

I noticed yesterday, the woman is pregnant, and this is about the birth of magic, what if... Nah.

[Zweanslord]

Comic #5 is up in the first post!

Hope you folks like it.

It took me some longer to get myself to start making this one, but the next one should be done a bit faster.

[Blayze]

I noticed yesterday, the woman is pregnant, and this is about the birth of magic, what if... Nah.

Not quite. ;)
