Some of you might know/like/remember the cover, character page and first page of my own comic: 'a Wholphin's journey'. Now, I have some things to say about it. This started out as some sort of random brain creation, simply because I had always wanted to make a comic. I absolutely spent no time figuring out the characters, except Brenin a little bit, drew some dolphins that seemed fun to me, threw together a pod without a social structure, feeding methods, allies or enemies and sketched some pages. And oh my word, what was I stupid. I really want to make this comic work, but in order to do that I need to have everything researched and figured out. So that's what I have been doing the past few weeks. I've written all about my own dolphin pod, which are now called the 'Dorre island dolphins,' instead of the 'Shark bay dolphins'. I've written about social structures, how the pod or group was formed, who's in it, hwo old everyone is, why they came to the group, if they have offspring, what they look like, genetics, subspecies, feeding methods and ground, likes, dislikes and all other habits. These improved characters will be the first 'new' things about the comic to appear on here.

About the comic itself; the first page, cover and 'character sheet' will be moved to my scraps as they are no longer needed nor used. Please be patient for the first new character sheets or even pages to appear because I'm trying my best to make this realistic yet interesting. I've also done research on the other animals that live in Shark bay, I even planned Brenin's route and who he will meet! (while reading about wildlife there I realised how stupid I was for putting a Blue shark in the first panel; those guys don't even live there ^^;)

Well, I guess that's all, have fun with whatever you're doing and enjoy life! :D

Interested to see the new, improved comic when it comes out (not that I saw the old one, but anyways)
