Okay, so I started this manga thinking it was going to be this short one shot type of thing, but somehow I kept adding more and more characters. Turns out to be one of those OMG!Shoujo types. xD

Here's what I have so far:
Page One
-I printed out some horse pictures as references for this but haven't gotten around to it yet.

Page Two
-Needs more details, to be inked, and flowery backgrounds~

Page Three
-This one is done, just needs flowers in the background of the last panel.

Page Four
-Just needs details and be inked.

Page Five
-Pretty much every thing not inked here needs to be fixed. Will change the background on the first panel, and swtich their positions in the last panel (the bottom right corner). And add his last name.

I've realised I need to add more content to each page instead of a few panels. If I ever get my computer back, then I'll be able to put in better word balloons, text, and screentones.

Other than that I'm open for critique and ideas and other type of feedback! Thanks!!

The Story

Athala Reina was born to the King and Queen of the North Kingdom. When she was a baby, her parents mysteriously died, and her uncle took the throne. She grows up with her knight, Stefan, and her friend, Rosa. When she is 13 years old, she is sent to the West Kingdom to visit for a little while. After that, the years pass and she grows older. Suddenly, suitors from different kingdoms come to ask her hand in marriage but she refuses them all. Why? What's going on? Well, that's for me to know, and you to find out. wink

Sounds cute, can't wait to see the dress her friend made her wear^^.
But are you really going to use all those names? Sounds like an awfully lot of work and time.
Also, time seems to fly in these few pages, everything goes so fast. It's alright if it's just here, but you do need to have a kind of flow in your manga, so not simply paste events after one another (use a storyboard or something if you're not already)
Just to make it reader friendly, you know :3
Hope I didn't offend your pages or method in any way, good luck with working on it <3

Thanks for the comments, guys. WHERE ARE THE REST OF THEM??

Pixie, yeah, it turns out I have about 50 characters already. They're all named, but no, not all them will appear in the comic. It's just that when I make a character, I have to give them a family and a background. xD I could make family trees... it's frightening.

Also, I'm not very good at story telling. I'm not good at drawing comics either, but that is why I'm here to hopefully get help on that.

Just ask :3 and work with storyboards if you have time (they take pretty much a lot of time to make, though it depends on how you want them).

Yup, it's frightening, able to make up that much people, names and relatives xD. Well in these days you can make money with any kind of talent ;P
