All right, in an attempt to justify taking up all this space on the front page, I've decided to explain what I'm doing here. Basically, I draw this comic because I like drawing comics, and I hope (someday) to get very good at it.
The format of Cion is very different from the way I usually draw (which is generic "Crappy Anime Wannabe" style), because this is my first collaborative effort. The point of doing this is to hopefully broaden my technique by drawing things I wouldn't draw if I were left to my own devices, so I am likely to make a lot of mistakes along the way.
At any rate, the reason I am doing this on the Web in the first place is for feedback. It is really difficult for me to spot a lot of fairly fundamental mistakes in my drawing (probably because I make them so often I get used to them). So, improving my drawing tends to be a very slow and frustrating process without any outside influence. To this end, I decided that it might be a good idea to start doing an online comic, so that I could get some feedback from other people.
So, in the event that there is anyone out there actually reading this page who has a few minutes to kill, it would really help me out if you could drop me a line regarding what you do or don't like about the visual style of the comic. Really specific (like "I don't like the mouth on page three, frame three") , really general (like "Your colors are too saturated"), or anything in-between would all be very helpful. Also, anyone who has any tips on drawing or coloring techniques that I might benefit from, feel free to, um, tell me, please?

Hi-yo!
Not much to say, except Kail made me one bitchin' avatar, which is going into the new page design... which is on it's way - it'll be both 1024x768 optimised, and working in IE. I've tried to quickfix the current page to at least show up decently in IE, but it isn't working, so apologies to IE users. Should have a date for the new site design being done soonish.
Comic is on its way; to tide you over, here's an intriguing page that is probably pretty old... but still, very interesting. I suggest 87 - Interlude. Found it while checking out the Eskimo Joe site, which is also quite cool.
