*deep breath*
All right; this isn't easy for me...but I'm finished with my manga site (I think... ) and I've put up the first chapter for viewing. At this point, I'm not too sure how much constructive criticism I want...LOL ^^ Although I will ask to you to bear in mind that these pages were my first; the newer pencils are much better...^^ And these are just a hair cluttered. The newer pages are much better about that...heh, like I said, this is my first real manga and I didn't have loads of reference material like I do now...
One more thing. I didn't get my commission section done (thus the dead link), so if anyone wants one, please PM me.

Uh...did I mention that showing people my stuff makes me nervous, even after prayer?

Yay Ink! Your manga is good. People will like it! And if they don't...well...then they just don't know what's good ;]

So what are your plans for the manga Ink??? Once it is established are you gonna make merchandise? (and can your host handle a lot of traffic?
)

The style is excellent.
Anxiously awaiting chapter two.

Looks great! ^_^
Maybe, if you want to sell other manga that you do sometime down the road, you should look into getting it published in Anime Angels' Mangazine. Just a suggestion. ^_^

Cool, I like it a lot so far..!
But did you know that "Rivalen" is a Dutch word for "rivals"?

I loved the art, the story, and the fact that you left us all hanging. ... no, wait ...
Seriously, hours upon hours of work obviously went into the manga and the web design. Steelblood is definitely a visual example for the word "quality." And she made it nice and fast for ever slow internet connections! I hope you get the fanbase you deserve, and through that God is going to get the glory! Awesome job, Ink!

I liked it as well. I especially liked the art style and website design.

Wonderful as always, ink!
I like some of your page layouts, and the way you used different coloration in different panels. Plus your art, as always, is fantastic. I will continue reading Steelblood!

IRIEL WILL RULE YOU ALL!
Ok, sorry...I had to do a shameless plug for myself (ask Ink later). I just now had time to sit and read...man am I glad I did. Good stuff, mon Inky, good stuff.
Oh, this is a retarded question, but do you want me to delete the ftp place I had for you on my server now?

Yeah, you can clear up that space if you want to. I just really needed to have instant access to the files, and there was no point in pestering you all the time when I had perfectly good webspace (and brains enough to know how much bandwidth I had per month...*rolls eyes at herself*).
IRIEL WILL RULE WITH AN IRON FIST!
BOW DOWN TO ASH....er, I mean, IRIEL!

Man Ink! Your manga is great! Soon with the help of God! I'll get my manga out. Because my drawing skills are really Bad!

Aw, I'm sure it's not that bad, Benu. It's the fact that you're trying that's most important.
Hey, does anybody want to do some link exchanges to help me get the word out about my site?

If you've got a small button-type icon, sure, I'll swap links.

There are several different types of linkie things here:
http://www.krazyboodle.com/ink/linktome.html (I took it out of the frame, LOL)
Anybody who sees this and wants to link to me, just let me know here, or in a pm, or however's convenient for you, so I know what URL to put on my page.
Oh, and if anyone wants to use my sig banner, that's ok too. Just any ol graphic I have lying around is fine... Or you could even make your own, doesn't make that much difference to me...

How about you all dl that wonderful walking Iriel sprite and use IT as a link! Mwahaha....
The funny thing is, I'm cast as this character, and I'm not even sure I'm pronouncing my name correctly....ugh,then again, let's not even mention the Reh-va-lyn vs. Rye-va-lyn.....*groans*

Okay, linked (look at the URL below).

Sweet! Thanks! I'm heading out in about an hour, so I'll take care of all links when I get back.
And best to my knowledge, the proper pronunciation is Ry-va-lin. And Iriel is like Ariel with an I. Hope that clears things up!

WOW!
I can't think of anything else to say. I'm at a loss for words. (And THAT's saying something!)

nota bena:
if you were wondering why I'm used so often in connexion with Iriel, it's because I was cast as her in the radio production. Inkhana is the voice of Kyla, hence her avatar. And Rose is the voice of Sydonia....I don't know what ever happend to this project, but I DO know I spent a good 4-5 hours saying lines that all had a mispronounced name *groan*
