Stronghold site is up!

[LaLiLuLeLo]

After about 3 years of fighting it and trying to push our book in printed form, the collapse of the market verily took the wind out of our comic publishing sails, and we've at long last taken Sanctuary online. But make it more badass (and avoid risk of litigation from another, shittier series (http://www.syfy.com/sanctuary/)), we went through a little name change. What was Sanctuary: Hope Is Not Yet Lost is now Stronghold.

Please check out the site (it's a little bare bones aesthetically but it gets the job done for the time being), tell me what you think, all of issue 1 is up, 2 and 3 will be up soon (issue 2 tomorrow), and I'll be working on issue 4 for the foreseeable future, so check for updates!

I haven't got into the story but the art style is magnificent.

I'm skimming through just to see the art.

[Chris Metal]

[GTAce]

Amazing artstyle.

[Gummy]

[Jeter]

I have to agree with the others here, the artwork is spectacular. I'll be following this for sure. Don't give up on getting it published.

I was going to say too. The art is by far my favourite part of the books, great job Lali, seriously.

Hope everyone's keeping up with us at the comic (http://the-stronghold.net). Here's two new concepts for some mechs that will be in it. They belong to two of the principal antagonists, Hallocon and The War Titan, respectively.

[curryking1]

I like the bottom right one as a thumbnail best I think, or the bottom left one also.

[the poe collector]

I like the bottom left or top left, where she's reaching out.

[LaLiLuLeLo]

Well, it's done!
