So, with my time off from WAR, I've had some time to browse many blogs and forums and think up new ideas. And so in conjunction with my upcoming role-playing character, who will be a Slayer, I've decided to start a web-based comic. Yes, I know, there are already a ton of webcomics out there and all that, but bear with me.
The comic will follow his adventures through Warhammer Online in an in-universe style. I figure, since the game is already laid out in a chapter-based fashion, it would be interesting to follow my character as he progresses through the quests and the storyline. And since I'm going to play him as an RP character, I can use that as a narrative base. I dabble in manga-style art as a hobby, and I enjoy drawing my characters. Also, most of the WAR-based webcomics are done in a self-contained episodic format, and I plan to have a single coherent narrative.
I plan to give him a small backstory, with his overall quest taking him to Karak Kadrin, the Slayer Keep. Of course, there will be a certain amount of poetic license involved, but I'll try and not stray too far from the source material. I hope I can also take common experiences, such as open RvR and keep sieges, and integrate them into the storyline.
This is a completely new venture for me, and I honestly have no idea how often I'm gonna be putting out pages, and I'm still debating what format I'm going to use. I'm probably going to try to release 3-6 pages every week and a half or so. I'm currently sketching up character designs and other background art. Check back in a few weeks and I'll try to have some sketches uploaded. Wish me luck, and lets hope I don't completely suck at this.

Haha sounds good, and also very different from what's out there now.
