Thank you for your comment, feedback is really appreciated by my side.
I'm glad you like the comic so far (and this comment was written while I was uploading another page... ).
I invested all my efforts in the dialogue and in the emotional development of the characters (keeping in mind that my first artistic love was theatre ) and I'm also talking from a linguistic point of view, seen as English isn't my mothertongue nor have I ever studied it in my life (I find myself thanking my friend Dina every day for her linguistic and moral support ). So knowing that I hit the mark gives me an immense pleasure.
I'm glad and I fear the comparison you make with Edric. When I first drawn Ewan, I uploaded the first page with him, look at it and then I went "OMG, I just started a comic with the gay-mage brother of Edric Cousland !". If you noticed, from page 3 on, his hair color drastically darkened and his hair grew longer and messyer (lucky me he had the helmet on)... I always feared sometimes someone would have put out some similarities between the two, but at least is a positive similarity and not based on the look.
And I don't understand why me being a guy gives me points... Maybe because some testosterone was needed in the "Dragon Age Fan Comics" scene? Hey, I'm not the only one!
As for Jowan, the feelings I had towards him (which are shared by many mage-players, I think) where the main reason I wanted him into the story (which isn't started already... YES, the main plot is yet to come, but I needed context to put all characters I needed together, we're still playing the origin... ).
I'll do my best to keep up your expectations.

Please, do not fear the comparison with Edric : ) the similarities I talk about are not based on his appearence nor in his personality, but in the way both are built, with depth. If you ask me for a similarity it would be that they're not afraid of showing their emotional side and even so they do it in a different way. I hope you get my point xD

Haha, well, being a guy gives you points because (and I'm sure you already know) there's not so much guys with male Wardens into a M/M romance with Zevran, and also there aren't many male wardens played by males who actually show feelings. More intimate feelings, and I don't talk about love - I talk about, in example, the relationship between Ewan and Anders : ) (and I'm not even an Anders fangirl xD). It's my opinion, of course, but even my brother reacts a bit weird when Zevran tries to flirt with his character - but you know how teenagers can be about this xD -, so it's refreshing to see this change. And I also love how you treat Zevran with great respect and take him seriously. That's a thing I definitely love. And I'm more in team Alistair

I'll be here expecting more, and I won't be disappointed ;D

I understand in which sense you were comparing the two wardens, and I'm just glad I could make a character with a recognizeable personality and a proper identity. I had many doubts in the beginning I was tempted to drastically change his appeareance, but the I said: "what the hell!" and tried my best to make him Ewan and not "Ewan-the-Edric-clone".
About the Zevran romance I didn't have many choices, you know: a mage of mine could never romance a lay sister (because of Lily, perhaps? Naah, he just wouldn't romance to someone so "remember-the-circle-ish") even if she was a bard, I never liked the Morrigan romance because of the outcome (though I did romance her with some of my wardens)(and BTW: ", Alistair is strictily heterosexual so remains Zevran, which is also the perfect mate for him, I think, as they complement each other. Once made the coiche I had of course treat the matter seriously: Zevran is the start of the story, the reason why Ewan leaves the Keep in the first place, the spark that makes him want to find Jowan before start a new life (to all the thing this will lead ) and, obviously, the final goal to which Ewan must focus. He is the "prize" of Ewan's mission which is - after all - my story, so he had to be important. Also, I like "unconventional" love stories and I wanted to try something about that treating it seriously, whithout resort to clichés or making a parody of a love "because" is same-sex (and also without actually showing sexual encounters or other hot moments, as the main story is not about that... and not because I can't draw them... ok, ok, I CAN'T draw them, but that's not my point! ). And I agree, there are not many male authors that would do that, but, hey! I'm just one, not "many"!
Actually, now that I think of it, the only male DA author with an active Dragon Age comic I know (meaning: I know he's male because that's written under "sex" in his profile) is ~TheOneKnight who just started his. We are an endangered species, treat us kindly...
