Description
I decided to give my little "Transformation" strip a makeover. For those of you who don't know, this is where Terence makes the official transition from unicorn to man. This is from my original novel that I plan to publish someday (hopefully) soon.This new version will be longer, more intricate, more detailed, and more gripping.
Of course, you already know Terence. The elf is Aldridge, a young forest elf who possesses magical abilities but can't really execute them properly, and the girl is Wendye (yes, it is supposed to be spelled that way), a homeless and orphaned human. She's about 19; Aldridge is somewhere around 17. They are also my OCs, whom I've regretfully neglected this past year. I resolve to give them both a little more of the spotlight from now on.
Yes, I know this is reminiscent of The Last Unicorn. I'll admit, my story was initially inspired by that novel, but I promise, my novel is WAY different from Mr. Beagle's. I am NOT a plagiarist. There is a difference between basing your work off someone else's work, and claiming someone else's ideas as entirely your own. Mr. Beagle isn't the only guy in the world who can write about a unicorn becoming human, after all; and besides, his book already references other works. I see plenty of snippets from other books and poems scattered about in there.
Furthermore, when you really think about it, there aren't that many "completely original" stories around here anymore. Almost everything you read or watch these days is reminiscent of, however subtly, at least one thing or another.

I really love the movement of Terence's hair in the second panel. This looks great so far, keep up the good work!

That's because he's jerking his head up abruptly, hearing a strange sound in the distance. Can you guess what that sound is?

Very nice, I'd totally read your book! Also don't worry about being accused of stealing an idea. I think most people know the difference. Look how many people have written works based off of Tolkein's stories, for example. (I hope I spelled his name right there.) The book I'm writing was originally inspired by The Lion King, but it's so different now I don't think anyone will be able to tell, other than the fact that the characters are lions. So yeah, it should be ok. No worries.

Yeah, like I said, it's one thing to be inspired by someone. To claim their ideas as purely your own is something else. That is plagiarism.

Maybe I could release a comic version of my novel, along with the novel itself. I know you're all excited about my book; I'm as impatient to get it done as you are to read it. But I promise it's good. In many ways, it's turned out even better than it has in the beginning.

I dunno how to make 'em.
Even if I did make my WHOLE story into a comic, it would take quite a while! My book's, like, 300 pages long, and counting!
