Nice, I like all the different airships, and how the last panel is of the tutorial ruin. I guess I know where the next page starts! Also, I spotted a spelling mistake, "Are the in it for".

Still looks great, Hecheff- keep up the awesome work. ;D
By the way, it appears you're starting the comic from the start of the game proper, and not the Bonne's announcements before gettiing to Kattelox, eh?

@ Dashe: Wow, this won't be good if it takes me this long to complete full-color pages. It don't think it would be so bad for the B/W pages anyhow, so mayber there is hope of speeding things up if my schedule allows it.:24: @ Loken: It's fixed now. Many thanks. Blues: Oh they'll have their chance.

I'm liking what I'm seeing. I could have sworn I replied to the first panel, but I guess I derped. Really colorful, believable, and wonderful. What I would try to do is try to put the images together on the first post to try and make a sort of comic book. Maybe something like [page1][page2] [page3][page4] But that's just me. Loving it all HF.

Loving it all HF. Your perception does not deceive you. Though scaled down, the pages are formatted and are print-ready. I am using this format for now because as the pages (eventually) build up, the first post will get very long. As I am using the format for Japanese comics (as I intend to translate it later), the layout would become something like this: [page1] [page 3][page 2] [page 5][page 4] etc...

Are you planning on toning your black and white pages? And do you know how to tone in Photoshop (or a similar layer-friendly image editor?) That would shed quite a bit of time off if you inked the black and white pages normally and toned them digitally.

I do not believe that I am familiar with this process, and I want to hear it from you in case what I find online is out of context. Please tell me more.

Comic book screentone. If you have your lineart on a separate layer than your background, then you can rip samples from any kind of screentone database and use them to tone your comics. This place has got a couple of tutorials and examples.Basically, that's how comic book writers shade their work and make it look like a comic book. It's like stippling but faster. Free screentone downloads are about as easy to come across as free comic book fonts, and there are tutorials all over the place for it. Do you understand the concept, at least? I'm not too good at explaining things.

@ Dashe: Thank you. I see what you mean now.
I'm going to have to play around with these for the first few chapters to familiarize myself with it.

I love it! The art style is fitting. I'm excited to see these progress. I'm in for a copy as soon as they're available

Update: Having toyed with the screen tones method for a bit, I experimented with several methods until I found one which I feel reasonably comfortable with while not making it look too horrible. Of course, I do hope to get better at this over time. @ Avegodro, merkyone, Qwertman: Thanks guys. I didn't want to post or reply to anyone until I had an update. So here it is!

*Checks stopwatch* 17 days this time. Man, I've got to stop playing coach over here. :01: The tone looks smashing, though. You've taken to it well.

Fantastic job. Now for the tutorial level(And the Indy escape)! Really though it looks great, it looks far better in black and white than I was expecting.
