[webcomic] Tales of Exalts

[Xanroth]

Two pages this week.
I'm taking a small break from the comic in order to get used to my new tablet, so instead I'm doing a few none exalted sketches that can be found here: https://www.deviantart.com/xanroth/g...y-hero-hunting
It's something for a future project.
If anyone has a character they want drawn then now could be a good time to poke me about it and I may just draw them for you.

I'm alive? I'M ALIVE!!!

Eeeerm yeah I'm still around sorry about the hiatus there.
Anyway, I wish to talk a little about the future of ToE.
So originally my plan was 10 chapters per act and one act per direction.
This is no longer the case.
I'm just going to try and trudge on and possibly have the completed thing be shorter than my planned 50 chapters (blessed Isles was direction nr5).
This will also mean that I will sometimes have straight up timeskips just to get the story forward in the future because I kinda want to finish this but I also don't want things to end like keychain without a proper ending.

Now what made me want to end things like this?
Well simply put this comic was started when in the place that i USED to play roleplaying games I played Exalted for the first time.
And it left a permanent mark of joy on me...
However that place no longer exists to me.
It was ruined.
I don't want to point fingers but lets just say that it started to become an effort to even motivate myself to go there.
And with all of the great people that made it a place of joy leaving, I ended up with a bunch of new people that seemed intent on turning it into a hangout they could drink at...
So yeah I left.
The other thing is that there just doesn't seem to be much interest from people to actually read the comic...
Aaaand finally third edition...
Don't get me wrong, I like Third Edition, I enjoy it, however there is a lot of retcons that kinda put wrenches in my work.
Characters disappearing places changing and so on.

Now I wish to clarify, I'M NOT STOPPING THE COMIC. at least not yet, I will keep up being my stubborn self and try to finish the comic, but just be aware that there may be timeskips and jumps in the future.
That is all.

Anyway have one single page.
The heat kinda stopped me from making more but still.

I occasionally read your updates and feel a bit out of the loop. Hosting on Deviant Art makes it a pain to go back and read it all from the beginning.

Use whatever interpretation of characters and places that fit your stories. Some of your readers have probably never heard of Exalted before, if you cater to them then departures from canon won't matter.

Thanks for the comment.
It should probably be a little easier now since i organized the comic folder into separate chapters, but yeah DA is not the most optimal place but it's the only one that I have at the moment since all others require me to change size and format on all of my pages.

Also thanks for saying that, sometimes I know something but still refuse to "acknowledge" it until someone sets me straight so to say.

anyway, here's two more pages.

I've been quiet with the critique because whatever issues I have with the formatting limiting my ability to engage, I do respect you for keeping this going.

and here we go two more pages.

I was planning on getting my schedule back on track with three pages a week...
Then I ended up watching warhams and then that was that...

So I want to give Y'all a heads up that I'll be doing a bit of studying now for twenty weeks so there may be a bit of a loss of speed on the comic now for that time.
