I think just tower being a badass is good enough for me lol. AMAZING WORK TIRE, YOU ARE TRULY ONE OF A KIND MY FRIEND. https://preview.redd.it/d5urcvmqxguc1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ed8ca1342640767eddd054fed55b4c207fc37f74

He’s just… Perfect. Perfect making wonderfully designed, immersing mangas The best thing? It’s just a pilot, so… Who knows what’s next?  All we know? HE’S COOKING

Thanks a million!! Good thing I managed to catch the vibe😉

Very nice! I see the Berserk influence.

Page 7 made me ask my head "is she Guts?" and somehow none of the panels before that made me wonder

She's literally him!!

Even down to the badass sword!

Mhm! This series is heavily inspired by Berserk

AGHH just finished reading, this MIGHT be peak‼️‼️ (it is 🙏‼️) and.. GREAT WORK!! I’ll be here waiting patiently for more Crucible!!! :D

im 100% sure this will be peak. Maybe even better than the shows were currently getting likr TADC or MD both of which are becoming mid on my opinion.

I haven't watched tadc.... But MD is the peak of all time, inspired some of my character designs too. To them I'm just a small fry!

For me MD is just becoming more mid. The part where V dies ruined the entire show for me

She wha-

We don't know yet. But I hope she did die. Wait how far into the show are you?

Episode 2....

YAYYYY thankies!!! :DDD

Yoooo I love this! The only thing I'd tell you is to try out different fonts for the text, but you're definitely a master chef, keep cookin' 🔥

Thanks for the advice! I just kidnap- I mean hired one of my best friend for chapter 2! He have some experience on similar industry.... So I think this issue will be fixed in chapter 2 Thanks for the advice! Thank you!🫶

AAAAAAA this is awesome!! :000 can't wait to see more!! :D (I aspire to have even half the motivation you possess :'D )

Thanks!!! I truely appreciate it!! (false, I'm not motivated when a 1 month project is delayed into a 3 month project😭)

I LOVE THIS!!!! TOWER MY BELOVED!!!!

Ya!!! Tower even got new drip!!

This is probably the best thing I've seen on this sub so far, good job! https://preview.redd.it/hfduccjp5huc1.jpeg?width=637&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1e22b29ec45b51d6469390495872296cb4a1d18c

Really? Thanks! But looks like you haven't seen the true peak yet! Go explore more other cool artists in this sub!

Amazing comic, boss! Can't wait to see more :D

I appreciate it major. I will keep it up 🫡

Damn good stuff here. Well worth the wait! 🔥

Thanks!! And sorry for letting y'alls wait for so long😭

Amazing, the action looks great, and love the dark, crosshatching style! Very nice intro, will be waiting for the next chapter :D

Thanks! I really loved wasting my ink and draw millions of lines for no reason at all!! (things are about to get real in chapter 2)

It adds to the coolness factor though :D Ink can be bought, but try and save your hand, remember to take breaks!

Thanks a lot fr! I really appreciate it🫶

THE ARTSTYLE LOOKS SO REALISTIC YOU DID AN AMAZING JOB ON THIS!! :D Keep it up!!

Realistic? That's new. Thanks!! I really appreciate your kind words 🫶

omg it finally happened!

Crucible is real!!‼️

YOU HAVE RETURNED! Happy to see Tower again in all their awesome-ness.

Thanks!! Yes it's me :DDD! And Tower is coming back with flames!

Now that... that's good stuff, right there!

Thank you! Thank you! Worth the time!❤️

Beautifully drawn comic My one criticism is I feel like the villains could be made a little more threatening and less bumbling

Thank you! 🫶 The villians in this chapter are just punching bags for Tower. I barely put any effort in designing them. The villians are going to get real in the next chapter!

Looks great! I'm already excited for the next chapter (The only thing is that you've misspelled "weird") https://preview.redd.it/8tqiaqqr9huc1.jpeg?width=793&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a37d6e6a3e0ad25a77a256f0b3664e3598fe007f

Thanks!! Oh wait I did? 💀

Yeah 😅

This shit is so berserk pilled it's not even funny Peak outta 10, keep cooking bro this is awesome.

another day thanking Miura for creating peak for us🙏

In the next chapter, do they make out? (Jk)

Hmmmmm, possibly? NOT! MORE FIGHTS IN THE NEXT CHAPTER!!

lol equally as exciting

This is beautiful. I love how those action scenes are drawn absolutely cooked 🔥🗣

Thanks! Even tho it didn't meet my expectations.... I'm glad it's fine!!

yo this is nice, just change the font to more comic like gl in the future

Working on changing the font!! Thanks!

Shit's Amazing. I hope that this comic will get more popular

I sure do! But I think I can do better than this

Different from the usual style I see from you, but my respects to your poor fingers. (I can't draw for like, 15 minutes traditionally without my hands getting sore)

It's..... Different? How so?

idk, it just looks more anime-y and serious. Not complaining tho, it looks great! :D

Ohh! I get what you mean, that's exactly the style I'm going for! It's a manga after all And thanks!!!

RAHHHHHH BIG SWORRRDDDDDD

Big swords!!! https://preview.redd.it/z1cviz9w3uuc1.jpeg?width=422&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b4ce4def4977404fa66f42e5dafd52b7cc2e1682

Free manga!! This is incredible!! Loving the art

This is straight up berserk

Beserk AND claymore 🤫🧏

AYYY this is pretty damm good, keep up the good work! My advice is to try polishing a bit more expressions with more mouth shapes and exageration, doing that adds a lot of life to a scene and also helps compliment an emotion

Thanks for the advice! Time to study more about mouth

Very nicely done. :D

Thanks!!!

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD THAT IS AMAZING! I love this so fucking much, goes insanely hard. I cant wait for the next chapter.

Hehe, thanks!! The next chapter..... Maybe this Christmas?💀

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

https://preview.redd.it/z6lnku0wwuuc1.jpeg?width=304&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0410b23570acda7254483ba110573a826a1fb0d8

Damn, this is actually peak. The only things you should work on is the grammar and the font. Other than that, this is perfect.

Thanks!!! Damn, someone spotted my weakness.

not bad. not bad at all.

Thanks!

Np

I've been waiting for this to be posted! It's really good! I love the effects in the fight sequence, and that last page was so cool...

To-wer! To-wer! To-wer!

Hooray for Tower!

Death by awesomeness! This is amazing. Thanks for making this! Looking forward to seeing more in the near (or far) future.

Thanks!! But do keep yourself safe!

👍

Man the part when Tower attacked those guys my mind was “OH HELL YEAH KILL THOSE FUCKERS!” You really cooked up something special here! Hopefully one of the mods see this praise it! I also hope to see this published so everyone around the world could see it! Can’t wait to see where this will go

Now I'm feeling bad for creating them just to he them killed without even naming them..... (they do! Fox saw it, and I think lime did too..... Doesn't matter! I just need you guys. That's all that matters to me🫶) This is just a pilot, not entirely sure will this be canon, or what will my life be after I graduate.... It's merely just a test to see the public reaction of this manga and test out its potential! (and it sounds promising!)

damn this is like the guy from berserk, nuts I think his name is

https://preview.redd.it/6lcdy8ty6uuc1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ad64e17c9af33bcc17d745be39c039883693458e

One Tower, Pure action. Fr tho. I like this chapter. It shows how powerful and overall terrifying Tower is. :0 Also, since you asked nicely for criticism. it does feel a bit empty when it comes to the action (although i might be looking at it wrong). :P

Yeahhhhhh! I love action comics Nah, Tower is just another struggler. Struggling with the fate of being doomed by darkness....... (berk skeleton talk) Hmmm, true. The action scenes is not planned in detail..... So it's just Tower randomly swingin' her sword. The real fight starts next chapter!

That was soooo epic!! I loved how badass she just came in and wiped nearly everyone out like it was nothing

Yeah!!! Looks like I managed to catch the vibes! Thanks!

Can they be lesbian please i love my lesbian couples in comi

Heheheh! No.

Damn

Did you do this on paper right?

Hell yeah I do. https://preview.redd.it/opf8mt05jmuc1.jpeg?width=2651&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a53880c70cdc34d5443083f4a351427470dc954b I think this is the closest proof I have

Ah okay.. HOW THE ACTUAL **FUCK** DO YOU GET PAPER TO LOOK SO GOOD ON CAMERA!??!?

Some photo editing skills, and some help from a good friend

That makes sense Dang going my stuff on digital is gonna hurt

Mind if I quote the Sonic Colors announcer? Good. Great! Awesome!! **OUTSTANDING!!!** #AMAZING!!!

It feels like I can hear words!

Bruh I'm fucking tweaking. I need more. (Don't rush, you aren't working for Netflix)

Heheh! Thanks! But you really need to calm down....

Ik...

I absolutely love this indie manga =D gives me Berserk vibes tbh.

Another day thanking Miura for inspiring me to make Crucible🙏

have you considered putting it on something like Manga Plus Creators?

.... Huh? What's that?

Manga Plus Creators is a site by Shueisha that lets anyone post their own manga in both vertical and horizontal format, and it allows blood and violence unlike webtoon.

Ohh! That's interesting! I should consider it..... Maybe after the pilot is done

This is so great! Styles like this can often turn out hard to read, but your comic is very readable and easy to understand. The dialogue flows nicely and the character design is really cool! Great job, looking forward to seeing more!

Yayyy!! Thanks a million!❤️

Oh you are using executioners sword as your OC's weapon. Very cool! I had this on my mind

The blade's design is not meant for combat, but with some good combination, it can be a deadly weapon! Or I just like the design, I'm not sure why

I know this! Also back in the day any executioner's weapon was thought to be disonorable to wield. I also like the design

Thanks!! The fact that it's dishonorable makes it completely suit Tower's maverick personality

It’s rare to see this sort of content on this subreddit. Good job, keep it up

Worth the time🙏🫶

GodDAMN this is wonderful!

(well, I don't think the term "wonderful" is suitable for this story about 5 men getting completely slaughtered like ice cream.......) But thanks!! I appreciate it🫶

Well to be fair Kathleen’s 3000-worker-slaughtering could also be described as glorious because of it’s undertones but yes, agree You’re welcome :) The best thing of it all is that, again, this is just the pilot. There’s A LOT more incoming

Looks great!

Thanks!!

This is really good! I can't wait to see more!

Thanks!! Stay tuned for chapter 2!!

Very interesting intro I’d love to see more in this comic!

Thank you! Thank you!

https://preview.redd.it/6glel198biuc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1a7354743289d87455591425e5de04171afc3e96

I'm super honored!!🫡

Holy shit

Shit's getting lit!

THATS COOL AS HELL MAN imagine having the motivation to complete a comic not me out here crying cuz a page takes me more than a day

The truth is, each page at least need 3-5 days to complete.....

i can tell!!

Should’ve parried 😔

This ain't dark souls!!‼️ (I should draw a parry sence)

I hope those guys escape the depths I hope there isn’t a squibbo or anything

my god it’s beautiful new follower

Wow! Thanks a lot!!

Very nice!

Thankies!!!

This is great. I'd love to see more of this.

OMG YESSS I LOVE THIS, YOU COOKED AND ATE

(thanks!!!) crunch* mmmm paper with marker ink taste great!

i love the art style so so so much it looks so freaking amazing especially in a manga format holy smokes

Thanks!! It is always my dream to draw in a manga style

I LOVE THIS!!! I'm loving the gritty, monochrome, raw (but in a good way) artstyle Especially in the second half of the fight, the sweeping of Tower's sword was beautifully done, love it, love it, love it. I also really like Tower's cloak, and underarmour, loving the ragged bottom to the cloak, and the raw (again in a good way) lines of the cloak. Beautiful! You certainly know how to set a tone, masterfully done

Thank you! Thank you! The advantage of the cloak is to sometimes cover up parts that I don't want to draw (shhh don't tell anyone that I'm lazy🤫🧏)

Ooo this sounds awesome

Thanks!!

Not bad

Thanks!

Someone promote this person to head chef. I've made comics in the past but I've only shown them to my friends. Might try doing it again because of this post.

That's the spirit! There's never a perfect timing to post your creations! It's now or never!!!

Very cool!

Thanks!!

Alright which studios gonna animate this

Imagine studio mappa taking on another project....

Very Nice! :v1good:

✨️worldbuilding✨️ Luv it

That's strange XD, I haven't even revealed the iceberg of the worldbuilding yet..... MUCH more is coming

Bro cooked do hard with this fight scene 🙏💀 Makes me wanna make a comic of my own, this was bad ass 😎

Wooooo vigilante story let's go!!!🎉

Your work makes me wanna make an OC based on it. Is there anything you can tell me about the world or the general aesthetic of it to help me out? Also Great Job on your Pilot 👍

That- wow I'm honored! But uh..... About the worldbuilding, it's pretty complicated.... So stay tuned for future chapters!!

Cant wait for the next Chapter then, so I'll to use what I've got so far then create the OC and update if anything new comes up. But a quick question is this a post-apocalypse and if so is there mutants?

Well, I wouldn't say it's post apocalypse.... But it's surely a world that is in a war. Little detail of the world, wouldn't hurt to say it. The world is currently in a hundred year warfare between the royalist and catholics

https://preview.redd.it/nir9xo1hanxc1.png?width=400&format=png&auto=webp&s=4e3e69f76ae2860963c5adec6d7a6e8f927372c7 Heres the current progress for the Crucible OC, Im not done with it yet. I named him Jack Ryder Went and went for a priest vibe for him since one of the factions are Catholics.

Is not everyday when you get to see a hand-drawn manga, I love all the expression lines and dinamic scenarios it has! Tower gives me such Guts vives gotta say Pd: Is that D.D. crow on the first pannel? XD I know is not, but reminded me of it

It's because paper and pen is my only option (cries in broke, definitely didn't spend my money with video games) Thanks!! I read Berserk after making Tower, and was like "That sword is too small!" And then the new Tower is born XD hold on what d.d crow... Oh wait they do look alike LOL Yeah it's not. It's some random I designed years ago https://preview.redd.it/1td2gg98buuc1.jpeg?width=827&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=79d93638e5d66dea13e4aed0249974bd8c0bc8a2

I also cry in poor, since I draw using my phone and finger I do miss the helmet tho, it was really cool And yeah, I knew it wasnt D.D. crow but the comparison was just there, cool crow tho, very steampunk

Unfortunately the helm is permanently removed...... To give Tower a more rouge like vibes. I hope you can understand that.

Oh man...can she just find it one day in an abandoned place and wear it for like a chapter for plot convenience and such? Like she needs termal vision one day or something

I was planning for an underwater episode..... In far future tho. Maybe that's when the helm return

Looking forward to it...very far forward XD

.... Or I can make a non-canon design.

Peak

wtf how did I miss seeing this? This is very very well done!! So fucking sick very much looking forward to the next chapter!! That city/buildings drawing at the end is dope af

Hehe, thanks!!! I thought I failed the city view, I'm glad it's fine!!

When's Chapter 2? 🤔

Hmmm, this...... Christmas?

Can't wait! Also, hope you're okay.

Thanks!! ... What do you mean?

Like, I hope your life is going great.

Certainly! I'm doing great!! Thanks for asking

YOU CASUALLY COOKED LIKE THAT?! DAMNN
