Summontale journal 1

Wow, it has been more than 2 years since since Summontale’s first post, and we have already got 3 chapters so far. What an exciting journey we have! 

Our story began with Frisk, a summoner with a poker face...or sleepy face?...Eh never mind. They went to Ebott to do a “sacred” mission, light all 7 poles so the cover of Ebott get shiny. SUPER SHINY To be honest, I never thought that I would go this far. The initial intention for this comic is just for practicing drawing comic. That’s why after chap 1, the color style had changed, instead of using screentone, I used plain color with no texture at all. After that I felt this style is a bit boring so I tried to add some texture or screentone. It truly looks a lot better! Moreover, I’m not so satisfied with the size of comic page. I want it to be twice as long as now but it will be difficult to read on Tumblr (the image gets smaller unless I split it in half and post separately). It can be showed clearly on DeviantArt but it maybe inconvenient for some people. Perhaps I will make a poll to ask everyone about this

About reading format, the reason I chose vertical is I feel the traditional style (or Manga style) is a bit too common. Plus, vertical reading format is kind of a new trend nowadays (ex. Webtoon), but I don’t leave so much space like Webtoon because it’s very inconvenient to scroll too much just to read one panel. Thankfully that the artist whom I really admire also draw comic which has the same style as mine so I can study them 

About the plot of the story, I have imagined slightly how it’s gonna turn out but not really completely. The inspiration for this story came from Final Fantasy, a role-play game which the player can summon monsters to fight, but to be exact, it was the word “summon” that brought me the idea. I have searched in Undertale fandom about Multiverse but none of them takes summoning as the main theme for the AU. Therefore, I decided to take it as the theme for my Undertale AU and  as a result, Summontale was born.

At present, the story is incomplete, many events are unconnected and the flow of the story isn’t quite smooth but as I said, this is just for practice so there’s gonna be a lot of changes in the comic, including style and content. Besides, I also have others comic ideas which I want to do so I’m not sure that I will finish this comic. Therefore, I won’t promise anything for Summontale or even this blog. However, I truly thank you and appreciate all of your support for Summontale. You guys are the main motivation for me to keep drawing despite how busy I am in school and in life. I hope in the futre I can draw as much as you support me.

That’s all for now. If there’s something new, I’ll leave it in the next journal. Goodbye and have a good day everyone!
