Covenant: Chapter One is up!!!!

The wait is over - it's HERE!! Covenant Chapter 1: Darker than Shadow is complete and ready to be read by anyone in the world that wants to.
I've created a separate blog site for it which can be found
here: http://covenantmanga.blogspot.com/.

Since the posts are in backward-chronological order, please be sure to read the cover and information post first and then move on to read the pages in order. (If anyone knows how I can get the posts to be in chronological order, please tell me!! That would be really helpful.) Enjoy, and let me know your thoughts by commenting on this post. :)

I have to say I've been a little worried about this; it is the first time I've ever posted a manga online before (though not the first one I have ever made, I put together two series during my high school years). I know the quality of the first few pages is just not that good, as I was still experimenting with editing in photoshop, etc. But the last couple of pages look much nicer, and I'm sure the quality will continue to improve in the following chapters!

As for the story, that is where the majority of my thoughts and planning was contributed to. If you know me well, you know that I love to craft together deep and intricate stories with unique characters that are both fun and relatable. I will admit that Covenant may not be my best story idea ever in that it is not entirely original and new ideas (For that, read Heartwish!!). Nonetheless, I think people will enjoy following it and seeing where it leads.

So where did I get the idea for the story of Covenant? Questions like this are usually hard to answer because I don't get ideas from one place, but from all over. However, Covenant serves as a prequel to the novel I never quite finished writing, Black Thread. The story takes place about 100 years before the events of that novel, so you won't see Vance, Caelynn, Amani, or any of the characters from that time, but those few who have read Black Thread will see more than a few parallels. Mostly, Covenant is the story that explains how certain things in Black Thread came to be... that is all I will say for now.

Again, do enjoy this! There is a lot more to this story than it appears, and I hope you are able to see that Chapter One is only scratching the surface. If I am successful, you'll be anticipating the completion of the second installment - which I expect to be completed this August sometime. Until then, check back here for previews and other fun stuff! :)
