And, so, Chapter 59 is complete!  I know it's really late, but it's also extra-long, so I hope that makes up for the delay.  I hope you find the character and plot developments worth it.

In this chapter, I focused on three of our main storylines:  Samuel's quest to gain control over his Balancer abilities; Victoria's quest to gain significant progress in her career; and Habbo & Goldhook's pursuit of their own pirate-y justice.

Also, we've finally established the formal tie between Goldhook and Merryweather, who I suspect will play an important part in future events.

As far as future storylines go, I have ideas, but none of them are quite fully baked.  I know I'd sort of promised that I'd try to get six bimonthly chapters out, this year.  I know that's pretty much shot, but I'm hoping to get one more done for Christmas (to keep up with our pseudo tradition). I just don't exactly know the best way to do it, and/or if I have to build any scenery to make it work.  I think I might, and if not, it'll definitely be necessary for the ones after that.

I sometimes feel as though I'm reaching the limits of what I can do with Lego as the literal building blocks for this comic.  I feel like I repeated the use of a lot of the images I took for this one, and that maybe if I had known how expansive the dialogue was going to get, I'd have taken a few more poses into consideration.  The conversation just kind of happened as I drafted panel after panel.

I don't know.  I have ideas, but I'd love to hear your thoughts.  Leave a comment.  Let me know what you think of the story so far!  Comments are creator-fuel.

Also, one more time:  Check out "Gurubunder's Challenge" by Frosty.  He's an amazing artist, and could use commissions.

No New Comic - It's Been A While! Here's A Quick Progress Update!

 Hey folks,

I hope you've been doing well.  It's been a while since I posted Frosty's take on King Gurubunder challenging Prince Darius, but I wanted to give you a little update.

Basically, I've just been having a hard time getting outside to take pictures.  It's been, you know, kind of very hot.  And I've been unfortunately busy with family issues, and while everything is okay it's just been time consuming and draining.

So here's where we stand:

I have a bunch of pictures taken.  I plan to make them into a chapter as soon as I can, but this may take a bit.  It should be a little longer than previous ones, and it should work through some worldbuilding as well as character development.

We'll see how it goes!

Commissioned Artwork: "Gurubunder's Challenge" by Frosty

 Hey all,

No chapter today, but I commissioned this wonderful piece, made by Frosty (@Icy_Melancholia on Twitter), and now that Chapter 58 has hit 50 people, I'm sharing it with the world.  I chose this panel because it's the note I chose to end Chapter 52.  As those of you who read closely no doubt remember, my father died on December 3rd, 2021; Chapter 52 came out just a few weeks later.  In vibe that resonated from the change in my life circumstances, Gurubunder broke out the magic of his ancestors and changed Prince Darius' situation up.

This is something like what I envision existing, some day.  Maybe I'll commission a few more scenes for future chapter milestones?

...Maybe I'll look into collaborating with someone on a whole comic, sorta like a One Punch Man deal w/ONE writing and storyboarding and Yusuke Murata drawing?

Things that make you go:  Hmmmm.

Hello again!

I hope you've enjoyed reading Chapter 58 of Chronicles Of Alleron.  Thank you for checking the comic out!  We're officially in a transition between two arcs of the story, wherein we're planning to start a new one.  At this point, I'm less writing with an outline and more just writing with a curiosity for whatever's gonna happen next.  I know we are approaching a tournament arc, but I don't know if I want to sow some plot seeds in advance of that.  I have...Ideas.

So what else is going on in the story?  Are Habbo and Goldhook paranoid?  Is Darius right to trust Samuel?  Did Victoria give Goldhook half a heart attack?  And why is Darius so interested in Goldhook's wife?

Sooner or later I'm going to upload a Lego Build Log for one of the boats that're gonna take the characters back to Bluefield.  I just need to splice it together.

Otherwise, if you want to support this project, check out my Patreon!.  I have a lot of stuff that I'm working on, and any help is surely appreciated.  You'll be seeing some of it soon!
