I would have assumed it was professional.

I probably wouldn't pick it up because "stern guy with demon behind him" seems kind of well trod and not my taste at the moment.

Thanks! That’s cool. It’s good to get a different perspective; I was in a rush to release the first chapter, so I didn't really look into cover designs and styles. )

I'm going to call it a "graphic novel". Anyway, great job - it looks like a "proper" graphic novel, you've captured the quality and style perfectly.

There's not a shred of inexperience about it, so though it's your first one, it looks like you've been doing them for years.

Excellent.

Thank you so much!!

Knowing that someone likes it gives me the strength to keep moving forward and finish this story.

There is still a lot of work ahead. The world has a huge amount of lore that needs to be revealed.

I stopped drawing back in school—I don't even know why... And now, at 34, I've decided to make my dream come true. AHah, maybe it's a midlife crisis. )))))

Well, I for one am glad that you've decided to revisit your creative side :)

As you say, it's a pretty big project ahead of you, so take care to not "bin it" over a minor setback.

If you get overwhelmed by the sheer size of the project, remember that a lot of people producing illustrative art (even the professional and famous) will often split their work up into Part 1, Part 2 etc - so no harm in releasing single chapters if it makes the process more manageable - and additional positive feedback at each step might carry you through the next bit.

Anyway, if it's a midlife crisis, it's a good one :)

Looks incredible! I like the composition!

Do you plan on coloring it?

E: looked at your Insta, nice art style!

I’m truly grateful for your attention and support!!

No, it will remain black and white.

Creating one chapter already takes about a month, so I simply don’t have enough time to color it as well. 😵

Positively wild and inspiring. Excellent work, I wanna see where this goes!!

It will get tougher as the bright romance of new adventure is replaced by the long road ahead, but

DO. NOT. GIVE. UP!

The world needs your story and your voice. Nobody else can make your work more than you can.

You've got this. I might make a Webtoon account or something just to follow it.

Thanks! Links to all the resources are in the comments. Overall, there isn't much there yet—just the first introductory chapter so far.

This is higher quality than a lot of published stuff. Keep at it.
