I'll be getting back to work on AE soon. Past the 28th (my birthday) my life will be a little easier and I already have a page in Photoshop that I'm working on right now.
Also, I'm officially naming Chapters 1 and 2. Chapter 1 is named "The First Elemental," and Chapter 2 is going to be called "The Three Elementals."
That's kind of a big hint. ;)
As for Chapter 3, I haven't really planned it out yet so I don't know what its title should be, but I have a general idea of what's supposed to happen. There's gonna be a ton of new characters introduced soon. Unlike a professional comic artist or mangaka (as they're called in Japan) I don't and can't produce 20 pages of comics a week. It's impossible unless you commit your entire day, every day, every week. It's crazy how much these guys can get done; I could barely get one page finished on a Saturday from morning to night. Pro. comic-making is really a full-time (more like over-time) job.
So... my point is, I can't take a whole chapter to slowly progress the story like real manga and graphic novels do. I need to move things along quickly or else nothing is going to happen. SO, I will try to dedicate each page to some new piece of information that is revealed or action that takes place; at least one definite step every update (but I think I've been doing that already).
