Description
(edited on 24th April 2008)
Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween a couple days ago!
Anyway I haven't submitted anything for the past 6 days because I've been working hard on getting The Grand ASHWORTH Fortune exposed in the best possible way in the coming months.
So far I've completed 7 more pages to Book 2, making it 34 more pages to go before it is complete. ^^
The website is still under construction but it will soon be up for those eager to know more about the universe that is The Grand ASHWORTH Fortune.
Exciting times are coming my friends, I'm really thrilled to reveal what The Grand ASHWORTH truly is all about. The story is beyond what you have imagined already. = )
Enjoy this preview page while you can! There are only 6 or 7 more pages to go before I'll have to end it for Book 2.
Regarding the purchase of the book all the details will be disclosed when I update my journal entry on DA. Apparently my editor from LAC comics tells me that it'll be available sometime in November due to some significant changes to the pricing structure of the comic books being sold at LAC.
Yes that's right it's not $12.00AU anymore, the 60 page book I've made will cost $10.00AU. A little bit more affordable now ain't it? ^^
Anyway I'll save all the details later. For now I'm going to work on the next page and continue with the website after I come back from work tomorrow. Thanks again everyone for your support on the cartoon series! It's going to be a blast when all is revealed in the near future.

Not a problem! I actually got confused for a second there because I thought it was going to redirect me back to page 10. XD But thanks for correcting the error.

Great page Elson!! I love the new inked look.
Sorry that I haven't commented in so long.
I went and faves all of the pages up to this one.
Hey congrats on getting this published!! I have to order a book some time.
Good luck with everything else okay?

Yay for plot developments! The story's definitely beginning to build. It's going to be great. x3 I hope we see Stream soon! He's one of my favorites! Then again, I tend to like all the characters for different reasons...x3 I must say that Stream, Ruby, Duke, and Fei are probably the top right now! Stream has this aura of cool-ness about him, with a touch of mystery too! Ruby, as I said before, is just so cute and spunky. And both Duke and Fei have a serious-ness about them and they look like they could totally kick anyone's butt if need be.
I could probably go on and on about all the characters that have appeared so far...I'll go ahead and keep this comment limited though. x3 Things look amazing, Elson! Rock on!

Aww thanks a bunch for such a sweet-as comment!
I really enjoyed reading how you liked each of your favourite characters Stephie! Be sure to see Stream on the last preview page - I'll try to make him look like one cool bad ass! Prior to that page is the all serious Duke who looks darn cool too! ^_~ *thumbs up* I shall continue the story - it's getting more exciting for me and everyone who had been following it! ^_^

Yeah Stream may be hiding something from her... Who knows? ^^

Nice one. This offers more insight into Ashworth's world, including the fact they worship a Sun God. Intriguing...So, Ashworth is IN A FREAKIN' WELL? Or is it some kind of distraction form Stream? Dun dun duun! INTENSE!
This is looking more and more exciting, and I really mean that. I want to see more of this world, it's people, and their adventures! I look forward to your journal update! You've once again entranced me with your imagination and art! Wonderful!

A magical well, huh? I'm reminded of the Golden Sun video game with the Hermes water, but thats just me.
Your really cranking out these pages, huh?
Is it because the style is easier to work with or are you just getting faster at drawing, I wonder? You don't have to answer, i'm just thinking...erm...typing out loud.
*money still in fist* I'm glad the price is lower, but i'm ready to get it whenever your ready to sell it.

darkspeeds In reply to silver-seren [2007-11-02 05:43:55 +0000 UTC]
Apparently the speed of completing a new page under manga industry standards is marginally faster than if I were to do it in pencil and shaded it. However the motivational factor is increased because it has encouraged me to learn new ways to shade and express scenes and expressions useing B&W ink + toning techniques.
Yeah I'm glad the price is lower because making it more affordable will likely improve sales. ^^
I haven't played Golden Sun yet but I have planned Shining Force III on the SEGA Saturn so I know what it's like (gameplay and story -wise)

Yay!^^ Love the story soo much!^^
Oh! I have great and interesting news!^^
is making her own SlideShow now staring Shadow young and then old.^^ She said she needed someone to do the voice for young Shadow, I told her I'd be happy to do young Shadow's voice. She said okay I gave her a voice sample then asked if I would like to do the older adult Shadow, I said yes.^^
You see, if I'm gonna become a voice actress in the future I must get all the practise I can.^^ I've already sent in all the lines for part one!^^ I can't wait to see it all when it is finished.^^ Though I am a bit worried I didn't do to good but maybe not. Anyway, thought I'd tell ya about that cause I'm real happy to have the chance to voice act.^^ And because Crystal's your friend right?

Aw wow! That is really fantastic! I'd love to hear what you sound like as Shadow both young and mature voices! Yeah Monika's an awesome friend, she really deserves more than what she gives to her friends. ^_~
I can't wait for her Slideshow/animatic project to come out! I'm anxious to know what it's like! ^^

Your welcome, you seem to humble... I've been a big fan of your artwork before you became a huge comic artist. u.u; I loved Tails Away, and Picnic Heaven. So, uh, seeing you reply to me on DA has me awe-struck. o.o I feel like I'm meeting a celebrity! Though seriously, I can't wait for it to become a cartoon series. Ashworth is so adorable!XD Oh yeah, um, when you have the time, you mind checking out my gallery?

Aww it's all good! I'm not that much of a celebrity am I? /= ) I kindly thank your thoughts on my work and such once again CherlnIDA. ^^
Your gallery BTW is looking great! = ) It's got a unique style and a good combination of technique including human and anthro drawings. Keep up the lovely work no? ^_~ *thumbs up*

Squee! o.o You like it? Thanks, I'm glad you like my drawings and I've just started to get used to drawing anthro-like characters. I was afraid you were going to point out Rubens looks like a bit like Ashworth...I think it's the muzzle. o.o Well,
I did read your comics before I drew Sonic style. u.u; I'm still working on the Divine Mutation comic, and Sonic's Dress and a few other things. o.o
My mom says that I'm playing, but dang, this is work! Well, at least I like to draw and come up with characters and stories for people. Thanks again for the feedback! Your welcome to my gallery anytime to fave or comment.

AU stands for Australian Dollars.
Check out [link] to determine the current exchange rates.
The book currently costs $10.00 instead of the original $12.00 due to a new comic pricing structure by my LAC (Local Act Comics) editor.
You can buy the full book when I provide the full details on my next journal entry.
