The story revolves around this guy:
Spoiler
Deiji Darkhallow
And his students. As you can probably tell he's a mage, well fighter/mage... fighter/mage/fire sorcerer... His history will explain it better, but that's part of the story. The setting is entirely outside of D&D though it is a fantasy comic (I don't have enough knowledge of the rules to try and make it work with D&D).

Re: The Darkhallow Chronicles (Yes, another one...).
Looks interesting, I like the art style.
I shall be reading this.
Personally, I think you should use colour like you did here, it looks pretty good.Last edited by Nameless; 2008-05-18 at 02:02 AM.

Re: The Darkhallow Chronicles (Yes, another one...).
Thank you. My only issue there is that I'm still learning to use my drawing tablet in conjunction with Photoshop, so it would be roughly 1 update a week as opposed to possibly 3. That picture up there took me about 3 hours, give or take, although most of that was deciding on colors and trying to get all the details ironed out.
I do agree that it looks better that way though.
Also, this is the world of Valoran, where all of this story takes place. The resolution is kind of bad because it's a picture rather than a scan but anyways...

Re: The Darkhallow Chronicles (Yes, another one...).
Either way, I think it's a good picture for an early try.
Also, the map is great.
When I draw, I tend to use the mouse as I don't have a tablet, once you get the hang of it though, it gets pretty easy to use the mouse, just takes a while to the hang of it.
But keep on drawing, you get better and better.

Re: The Darkhallow Chronicles (Yes, another one...).
Yeah. Hopefully I'll get better with more practice. I've only used the tablet a few times so far but I'm getting the hang of it. It's getting easier to use, but photoshop is annoying me. The bucket fill tool just has no respect.
Anyways, first update is up. Since it's just the title page I'll likely be adding another one later on tonight."Quiet tales of hamsters are foolish, but a man and his hamster that tear evil limb from limb? That's scary!" - Minsc

Re: The Darkhallow Chronicles (Yes, another one...).
Jack up the tolerance for the bucket tool. Set it up to about 70. Use different layers so you don't screw up, and turn on "All Layers" so you can actually effect the layer with the lines on them.

Re: The Darkhallow Chronicles (Yes, another one...).
2 updates in one day! Sweet... Anyways, yeah, second comic is up.
I had a bit of trouble with the layout, but it came out ok. I had hoped for a sort of overlapping style but merging the panels was confusing.
Echowinds: Thanks that was very helpful. Sadly I finished most this comic before I read that...
Anywho, since I'm on a roll, I think I'll get to work on the next one. There may even be dialogue!"Quiet tales of hamsters are foolish, but a man and his hamster that tear evil limb from limb? That's scary!" - Minsc

Re: The Darkhallow Chronicles (Yes, another one...).
Ok, now we're rolling. Sorry for the double post, but we have an update!
I seem to be able to churn these out fairly often so I'll see what I can do about getting another one up in the next few days.
Also, after you read the update, you can check out the nifty poster...

Re: The Darkhallow Chronicles
Neat, keep up the good work.
I like the fact that you are using an non-oots style, which is quite refreshing.
If you have any question in regards to colouring on PS, I may be able to help.

She wished to be big at a magic wish machine... oh wait, that was Tom Hanks.
I actually thought about the ages and such but, chronologically speaking, it's much easier to change the way elves age than it is to change everybody's ages... I simply go by the assumption that they age just as humans would up to a point in the mid-twenties to early thirties and then stop."Quiet tales of hamsters are foolish, but a man and his hamster that tear evil limb from limb?

Re: The Darkhallow Chronicles
Update!!!
That's two this week. I'm thinking of making that a regular thing, but with summer school, I'm not sure if 2+ updates a week is feasible considering the amount of work it takes per page. Anyhow, you guys may have to be happy with once a week. That said, I have no homework this weekend, so I'll probably have another update later on.

Re: The Darkhallow Chronicles
UPDATE!!! You thought it would never happen, yet here it is in its full, unmitigated color glory*. I have the next 6 strips already sketched out too, so get your hopes up(because I just love crushing dreams).
But I actually do have the basic sketches, it's just a matter of coloring now. at least one more update this weekend so stay tuned.

Re: The Darkhallow Chronicles
Must agree with everyone else, comparing your first to this latest, there is obvious improvement in drawing, well done.
A non-Oots style comic is a good change.
Will be marking this to read regularly."When in doubt, set something on fire."

I'm thinking of redoing that first comic, actually, so that it'll match the rest of them. I still didn't have the layout of the comic very well planned at the time, so it came out looking...like that.

It should be noted that the Ninja Uncertainty Principle states that you may know a ninja's target, OR their method of attack, but not both.
