At long last, my much planned webcomic is ready. A friend has been pestering me to get the first comic finished. So here it is, my webcomic about a fantasy world with elements taken from Japanese role-playing video games, mostly in the style of the Tales Of series, my favorite series of JRPGs.
Now with big fancy boxart/logo. Note: characters do not actually look like that in the comic, I wish They still look like normal OotS people.

Story Thus Far
Spoiler
Aria Hauteclair has come to a remote farming village at the request of her sick father to find his old friend, the former King of Belcast. Aria's second objective is to escort the King's only son, Ben Syndill, back home to visit her father. The village is attacked by the Knights of Altia, an order of religious knights serving as the militant branch of the Order of Ico. The Knights are seeking heretical members to the church of Ico. Aria defeats their commanding officer, Gale Stratos, who orders his knights to retreat. Aria leaves the village for the nearby forest, where she meets up with Ben. The two then begin their journey together.
Having successfully passed through Saria Forest and acquired a mysterious bracelet, the party arrives in the next town, Cousentine.
I'm gonna be against the flow here and say outlined.
What? Everyone else are against the flow too, okay?

*checks sig rules*
Oh, yeah, good point.
Actually, I don't think spoilering it works. The max width of sig images, in or out of spoilers, is 470 pixels. Spoilering the image only lets it be taller.

And spoilered sig; I was thinking that it looked a little too big.
Eh, probably just trying to being fancy and saying I like your art - thus you making the art for the comic is a promising sign.
And you can quite easily decrease the size of the signature banner, for example by putting the speech-bubble below the title, between the symbol and "the man".
Play around a bit with the composition and you'll end up with something as good but show-able outside of spoilers.

I'll see what I can do without obscuring the title.
There we go. Better now? I can count twelve lines, like the rules say. I should also change to one of my avatars so that I can free up another line.
@^ Haruki: you enjoy subverting everything don't you? We had a Pokemon thread, you made a Digimon. And now this.
Re: Tales of Revelia: JRPG-styled Fantasy Webcomic
Hehe, its easier to go by the pixel limitations* - the 12 lines are the maximum for the signature (text, spoilers, quotes and images). Of that you may have images with a total height of 120 pixels and 470 pixels in width. (stacking them onto each other that is)
In a spoiler you can in addition have images 300 pixels high (but an apparently unlimited amount of pictures as long as the total file size is below 300kb for avatar and images).
The image is now 170 pixels high and 421 pixels wide. So 50 pixels to go on the height, and you're good for an other 49 pixels on the width.
*They are in the table in the Avatar & Signature Rules section.
Yes I've been hit on the fingers regarding these rules so I like to help people avoiding that.
Re: Tales of Revelia: JRPG-styled Fantasy Webcomic
I really like your art. A lot of comics on here have art that really isn't very good, but yours is great. I can't really vouch for the story as we don't know who the character is and all we really do know is that war starts. Looks good though, I hope this comics lasts.

That's kinda part of the parody. In fact, most RPGs start you off with just the story and work in to developing the characters; I'm thinking of Dragon Age, Pokemon, and Borderlands. Being a parody of JRPGs, you can expect more of a cinematic feel.
Re: Tales of Revelia: JRPG-styled Fantasy Webcomic
Afklgjow you finally made it! I have to say, my favorit parts of the first comic are:
1. Nameless man's hair
2. The man in the last panel with the spikey red hair
I like hair. I'm going to read this, so it better not die.
Re: Tales of Revelia: JRPG-styled Fantasy Webcomic
As promised to myself, next comic is up, after three days of waiting to see how popular it would get. And it has! Thanks for all the support guys. However, this week is spring break for me, so you expect the next next one by the end of the week. After this, they might be coming slower because of AP testing the week I get back, but then I'm free because I'm down two classes. (Lit b; Calc p)
Anyway, once again, new comic.
Fun fact, this comic (#2) was originally planned to be the first comic, but I decided later to add a prologue/backstory page before it.
I'm gonna be against the flow here and say outlined.
