The Graphic Novel
Thursday, 20. March 2008, 13:23:27
Well, this is the blog of Archon, the creator of the DarkSun's Glare graphic novel.DarkSun's Glare is a story of lost people in a cruel world, ideals demented into sick urges, souls twisted into the machinations of a powerful individual, and the sudden bonds of friendship and their durability and strength. It is a serious story sporting some rather un-serious characters at first glance. Yet each holds his own piece of the story.
To start reading DSG from the beginning go to the first episode
The first four episodes are presented in the form of ill-constructed "comic pages" :P However, starting with ep #5 the story takes a different, much nicer form :)
Current episodes:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24-

your writing is also exciting keep it going
Archon # 24. August 2008, 08:19
Stick around. Seems I'll be doing a lot more episodes in the following days.
Fatimah # 24. August 2008, 12:06
did you do the graphics you have here?
they are really great
Archon # 24. August 2008, 12:11
As for the novel itself - there is a big post describing how I make it.
Oh, and thanks again.
Fatimah # 24. August 2008, 12:20
I know how much time it takes to create something from
start you did a great job and the color fits the name

on the words and feelings not the brightness of the page
I should write in word first however, it takes away the atmosphere
of being deep in the dark.
Do you know how to turn word into a dark place ?
Archon # 24. August 2008, 14:03
Word (we're talking about microsoft Word right?) has an option specificaly for that - it's under Tools->Options->General tab. In the second row - blue background, white text. It turns the white of the page into a semi-vibrant darkish blue, pretty pleasant actually.
It also helps a lot with keeping your eyes healthy. Less glare and contrast - less strain - better for your eyes.
Fatimah # 24. August 2008, 18:14
will it be blue if I cut and paste?
yes this is why I use black also in all my browsers where I can
I love the darkness for viewing photos and movies and of course writing I stay from blogs with white as it does hurt my eyes
Archon # 24. August 2008, 18:23
No, it won't be blue\white if you paste it somewhere. It's just the way Word represents it - in essence, it's still black\white, but he just displays it differently. So you can copy\paste all you want - the color won't be a problem.
The only possible problem you might encounter is when opening a file that has the font color specificaly set to black, instead of "automatic".
I always use word like this.
Fatimah # 24. August 2008, 20:42
I have word 2007 on my new laptop and I can't find
the tools part it has more formatting in this version
than in the 2003 one
any ideas?
Archon # 24. August 2008, 20:54
Sorry I can't help
Fatimah # 25. August 2008, 20:28
from the 03 one
and see for myself.

I didn't know what that was, so I looked it up and found these various alternatives:
I'm going to assume that it's not the Dunkin' Donuts one. Or the Philippines one.

"O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!..."
I think you figured it out on your own - it's Dungeons & Dragons.
Yeah, I'm a geek. Though that isn't hard to figure out, no?
Don't worry, I won't bug you with it
Edward Piercy # 29. September 2008, 21:01
I'm like 90 miles from Canada here in Spokane. In fact I've even picked up a bit of the B.C. phrasing across the years.
I'm not worried about DnD. It's those WoW people who are the real pain in the ass.
Archon # 29. September 2008, 21:11
They might hear you!
Not everyone who plays WoW is bad... Espen plays WoW. Amnith too (he's in my friends list). Ray Koefoed (though I think he pretty much quit) Ok, that's three... well, I just ran out of people to list!
I never was into WoW, and probably never will be... Played Warcraft 3, disliked it. Played Warcraft 3 Frozen throne and almost barfed because of the storyline somewhere half way thru. That's as far as I'm going into the world of warcraft
"B.C. phrasing"? What does that mean...? I think I know, but please, do explain
Edward Piercy # 29. September 2008, 21:22
Hard to say about the B.C. phrasing. There's a tendency to add "yeah?" at the end of sentences. I think that's about the only thing that has really stuck with me so far.
The Eastern Canadians don't use "yeah?", they use "eh?".
Archon # 29. September 2008, 21:58
Ah, thanks for the little clarification. I wondered abOOt the acronym, though...
