I'm having trouble with freewebtowns. I signed up, like, a week ago and I haven't gotten a password sent to me. ...soooo, I guess I'll just look for another one? But it's evident that I can make and maintain my own website, right? Sans adds.

I would like to add to the plot description, as I don't think I really explained what I wanted. I mean I did, but the general lot is kind of cliche, but it's not the main focus by any means.

As our adventure continues, we have our characters thrown into a culture that's unlike any of which they've come from. With a tight cast system, thriving population of oppressed poverty, and no middle class (We all know that's no good), Tidle is on the verge of some economical uproar. When the Jungsan army (Jungsan being Tidle's worse enemy, and the country where Whini is from) starts to beef up again because of the awakening of its king, Tidle gets a little nervous. The people that Tidle has enslaved for the past decade, the Latyans (Where Youthere is from), are Jungsan's primary ally, and Jungsan is pretty pissed that this has happened.

War breaks out as the crew is trying to travel to the Jungsan border, and the land that Tidle conquered when the Jungsan King was asleep (When a Crystal's child is separated from the parent for more than a year, the parent loses 'power' to say, and falls into a coma.) repraise: the land that Tidle conquered is slowly being taken back by the Jungsan army, and the Latyans that the Tidlinians enslaved are being set free to midigate the punishment from the Jungsan army, or the slaves are murdered in masses to spite the army. Either way, Jungsan looks like it's going to gain back the land that Tidle had raped, Latya: one of the countries in where the heir was stolen.

So, hopefully this clears up the cookies and butterflies in the description of the plot earlier, but hopefully doesn't take away the sunshine *^^* I'll throw in a fluffy magical creature that transforms into a robot or a pretty lady in there somewhere, lol

How cute! Everything looks...like a real manga! ^^ I used cjb.com for a website. It kept on doing goofy things like moving random parts of the HTML code around so images didn't show up, only http://www.blabla.com/q.jpg" MG> It was really annoying. But anyway! Lovely art! Good luck!

Alright, it's really nothing special, this is basically just the skeleton, so please, don't judge too harshly! I've been a little swamped lately, studying is really all I have time for near the end of the weekend, sorry! But rest assured, once everything calms down a little, I will work on this more. But again, this site is just a skeleton.

Thanks again!

Yeah, we're aware that the plot is a little cliche, it was made back with we still pretended we were princesses though ^^ But trust me, we're doing everything in our Might Power to pull away from that idea, without changing the general idea of the plot. Thank God we're not saving the world, lol. I guess we might as well add a giant robot, why not?

I'll get the site dressed for visitors soon, right now it's a mess ^^

Welllllll, let me tell you a little bit about what I plan to do. I'm getting the site ready on a different server, but it's coming up slow because of my classes and all, and of course, what Life I have.

So, along with the slow completion of the 'mother site' as I like to call it, I also have 24 pages of the comic ready to post. I don't plan to post it all at once, I was thinking I would post two a week. This would allow me time to draw more pages without the pressure of a deadline. That's not to say I'll slack off, this is what I do for fun!

....Um...I'm a taures, and my favorite color is green. I like first-person shooter games and really don't like the taste of alcohole. I'm not so great with spelling. I used to live in Seoul, South Korea, and I can say about two things: Hello - Anyong-hasaiyo, and Thank you - Com-hamsamnida. I also know how to say stupid - Pabo. Along with my amazing knowledge of the korean language, I can speak spanish very well, but I'm very bad at cooking.

I have worked on these characters and this plot with my 'first mate' Nikita for about 7 years. That's nearly half my life. To actually obtain the ability to draw out what we think is pretty exciting to me, as corny as that sounds. Also, the term 'first mate' has no sexual connotations, lol

This is just a huge bump. ....Diprotodon

Hello!

Username: golden-crystals
E-mail: kmo597@longwood.edu
 
Art site: http://passion-assassin.deviantart.com
 
Temp site: I don't have one for this specific series of art, but I do maintain a journal, where I independently control HTML and update fairly often. I can do my own layouts, and I know the general HTML codes, so it's nothing real new to me ^^.
 
The gist of the story: It begins as a sort of Alice in Wonderland with our first character, Samantha. While walking her dog, King, to her cousin's house, King spots a rabbit, and as any dog would, goes nuts and starts dragging Samantha behind him. There's something strange about this rabbit though, but Sam doesn't really get to think about that as she is dragged into a patch of woods. She slips on a rock and knocks her head on the solid ground, promptly passing out.

She dreams of a strange world. There's a brother and sister that are fighting over her, a pompous princess who thinks Samantha's a terrorist, two men that seem to think she's someone else, and this girl, who seems insignificant, but is friendly nonetheless. This world is Tutom.

We find out that this world was created by a group of gods who gave certain gifts to their favored people in different countries, in the form of elemental power, harnessed through a crystal embedded on their forehead. Gods were allowed to influence and bestow gifts, but never appear to their people. Well, one goddess broke that rule by falling in love with the king of her people, and he, in turn, fell in love with her.

He, Syde, lost his grip on sanity over the years and neglected his people because he was so love-stricken, thinking that everyone was attempting to claim her. So, his country descended into anarchy and its armies started to attack neighboring countries. This led to a huge world war and ended with Syde's country being shattered to pieces.

Syde, although insane, still sought revenge, sending his children to kill the heirs of his enemies. A nice thought, but his children didn't go through with it. Instead of killing them, his daughter kidnapped two heirs. Her brother brainwashed both, throwing one into a hostile country where she would be a slave, and the other simply vanished.
 
Fourteen years later, we have Samantha (actual name: Whini) in the midst of this, confused out of her mind. Whini discovers that she is one of the missing princesses immediately upon arriving in this foreign land. Several key characters are revealed at this time, including the identities of the two men (visiting princes), and the other missing heir, a slave girl going by the name Youthere. This motley gang decided to travel back to one of the prince's homelands, where they will be safe from rebels, a hostile army, and the children of Syde.
 
That's the basic story line, so in summary it's an odyssey type thing.

One more thing, sorry ^^. Everyone had a crystal on their forehead that bestowed them certain powers (a gift of the gods), but as time went on, power corrupted people, and leaders were appointed. Those who weren't high ranking were forced to rip their crystals out. Few people loathed this idea, refusing to do so and rushing into hiding. The only people permitted to have crystals in modern day Tutom are Royals. So the band of traveling heroes have to keep their bloodlines secret because anyone could be a rebel, or easily mistake them as rebels.
