NEWS! About the Remake

Hello there!

Long time no see, eh?!

Well, I got some news for you. ;)

Remember that I said I'd start drawing WDB again? Well, yeah, that hasn't changed. But, you see... Now things will be much more complicated than just a re-draw. Because on August I started RE-WRITING the whole thing. Yep. The story is now very different, I must admit. I'll explain why this sudden decision:

First of all, I am SO GLAD I didn't start this comic earlier! Because the original story was very sucky:


  • PLOT HOLES. Plot holes everywhere!
  • Many clichés that I wouldn't be able to justify.
  • Boring and stereotypical character designs.
  • Weak female protagonist that must always be saved by others. Bleah!
  • Inconsistent plot, with side stories that made no sense. But then again, aren't those plot holes?
  • Undeveloped world. There was nothing that linked the characters and their backgrounds to their world, or the fact that magic exists. Nothing about the Lunar Kingdom you'd eventually be hearing about was written.
  • And many, many other things that now I consider stupid, immature, and annoying.


So much for trying to rush things. Maybe all this delay has been for the better. There are those who say that everything happens for a reason, and I agree with them.

The good thing is that the story will be much more exciting now! There are still some parts about the story that must be written.
I need to find a balance, too. I can't give details about them, but some parts of the original story were so depressing, shocking and melodramatic, in comparison with the rest, that I think it would have been plain weird. I must define an overall mood or happy medium; so that jumping from happiness to sadness doesn't seem so... drastic.
Also, I'd like to write the introduction and chapter one completely before even drawing them. The beginning is very important.
And there's something about Star: she would have been such a stupid character... So clumsy, weak, dependent. She would always rely on others. I want her to be stronger and more daring, while still being innocent; because that's one important characteristic of her that I could never get rid of. And I think I've finally found a Star that I like for this story! I hope you'll like her, too.

Thank you for following me all this time! I truly hope I can start this soon, but I have decided not to rush things anymore. Because if I do, I may end up making more mistakes.

See you soon!
