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.

Chapter 58: A Brief Respite

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!
