The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

A New Tale Begins...

OK. So I started drawing the comic.
It's harder than I thought. =/

I haven't finished the outlines of the first pages.
So let's start with the cover instead: ;)
Comic Cover

Story:
Sky lost his friends and wakes up somewhere in the Great Valley.
Not to know what to do now, he makes friends with Littlefoot and the others.
They go on a journey to find Sky's lost friends. But will they find them?

Also by looking closely at your cover art? Does the cover itself tell anything about the story? :)

Some years ago I drew cover art for a story I have been writing trying to include some story elements in the cover. This is your thread so I don't want to put up any pictures here, but if you are interested in taking a look, here are two links to an early version and a later version of that story's cover.

Thanks for the hints, Malte. ;)
I would really like to put some story elements to the cover but I hadn't got an idea. :unsure:
But it's there now so I'll stay with it. :D
Btw. nice pics you got there. ;)

Finally finished the first page. :lol:

As Ratiasu stated, "Beyound" is "Beyond". And, is that one page all there is now?

that¥s cool. But how is it to read? From the left to the right, from up to down?^^ I have no idea. Never read something like that before. :D

I love it :yes
An interesting beginning to start so much from a character's personal point of view rather than some camera perspective. Did you take inspiration from another comic, book, or movie? I think I have seen something remotely similar somewhere, but I can't pinpoint it. In any case I'm looking forward to see the story continue and unfold :)

@Page 01
Edited the "Beyond" error. =)

@Nimrod
It's from left to right and up to down. Like a normal comic.
But you can read the words in the 2nd panel in any order you want. ;)

@Malte
Glad you like it. =)
I got the scene from a game. It is called "Kingdom Hearts" where the main character
 "falls" like Sky here in the beginning. (don't expect a KH-like story line xD)
But I know I saw a movie with a scene like that. But I can't remember.  :unsure:

There aren't many LBT webcomics (that's what I'm calling this. anyway) that I am aware of (DarkHououmon's is the only other one I am aware of). I like the idea! However, you're style and decision to make this a webcomic are making this story progress slowly, so it's too early for me to make an accurate "review" on it. However, the artistry is good, as always. B)

Absolutely :yes
Looking at the last two pictures it seems like Sky is in for an involuntary and painful participation in one of the Gang's fir cone games ;)
I'm looking forward to the next page to see if that guess is right.

You can't rush a good story! Just work on it when you can..that's all we ask! :D
