I only have two pages left to finish off the chapter HNNNG I can DO it I really want to get this chapter done before I leave on vacation

And yes, ta dah! This whole first chapter has been a dream. There were some (very subtle) hints in there as to it being a dream - such as Rozali being able to punch a metal helmet with no injury, land on Farol's back perfectly, and the fact that he wasn't wearing his saddle. That's why the inking and coloring style changed as well. It was fun playing with the brush and watercolor look, but it's a lot easier to color with flat colors again and ink with a real inking brush set. XD I had a lot of fun with this page too - I made my own brush preset for painting leaves and the sun dapples. Fun times, and I love how they look!

Fun fact, as well... the story of Dragontry began almost two years ago, the idea for the story, while I was on my mission. And while there, I had a dream one night. A dream where I was walking on clouds, ran into some soldiers on bikes that my dream called "kalrobs", and I told them the story of a flying city-school of dragon riders that fell. And then I punched one of them, escaped to the edge of the clouds, jumped off and flew away on my dragon.

Yep. The entire first chapter of Dragontry was literally what I dreamt two years ago. I figured it was the perfect introduction to the story, considering it was how I was introduced to the story. Since then, I've been building this amazing story to be something truly amazing, and I hope you all enjoy the journey with me!

Hi! Quick question: Is it just me or did the art style just change SO MUCH?!
I liked the old one better.

Also that dream was exposition.

Yeah, but it changed from your other comics, and that's what I don't understand.

Ah, that. Yeah, it's been a long time since I did NuzRooke. My style has adapted and grown since then.

You did a good job with the angle of the legs there in the first panel! (The rest too of course but that looked like it could have been especially tricky.)
