Description Required Listening: [link]

Something I've been wanting to do for a long long time. And tonight I just happened to punch it out instead of sleep! So I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do. It's a nostalgic trip through the story that's taken over 4 years to craft so far. And it's been an amazing ride. I wouldn't have been able to do it without all of you guys on DeviantArt who saw it first and continue to be the largest chunk of my audience. Thank you all so very much. ^__^

Also credit goes to Imagine Dragons - Fallen for the lyrics, of course.

EDIT: Now 20 panels to fit the song all the way through.

This would make a hell of an Anime Opening if Charcole ever got an anime. (with how Nintendo is that will never happen *has many sads for that*) I can see this as being a killer opening for it though but what would be a good ending theme for the episodes I wonder... Also would you say, if this WERE an anime, that Charcole is in Season 1 or has moved on into Season 2?

I'd probably still call this the first sort of 'saga'. I dunno if there's enough of a break anywhere to split it into seasons.

Alright then. Well I figured with the reveal of Maoh or perhaps this revelation to Cole of this third mind... one of those might have been a mid season point or something what with the epic battle between Cole and the Scyther looking like a season finale type of thing.

I feel the song 'Warriors' by Imagine Dragons also fits your story. Kind of.

If you pay attention he's never had one

Arthas972 In reply to kyrio [2014-04-15 23:45:32 +0000 UTC]

I have paid attention, it just hasn't shown him very much. Β And there was a time where he talked about having one, saying how it much it hurts when the flame goes out.Β Β Eh I probably just missed it.

if my theory about who he is is correct, being a ghost would definitely explain it.

WOW, I'm late to the party here. X-D I need to really clear out my message center more often...

Awesome work on this! Really fun style, and great composition. Cool song, too. =-)

Very cool, man. I love the comic as I always have, and it'll be great to see it continue on.

Wow. Thank you for doing this! It goes together really nicely with the song you picked, and just gives a nice, warm feeling about this whole adventure. I knew I'd enjoyed CharCole, but this piece reminded me your comic's snagged a little place in my heart.

Thank you for this one, and for doing what you do, Kyrio.

ScytheRider [2013-05-06 04:05:50 +0000 UTC]

This is certainly inspiring! But it gives the impression that the comic is coming to an end soon. Which I am guessing is intentional.

Alright, alright. I'll catch up on the comic. I don't want to miss the ending.

kyrio In reply to ScytheRider [2013-05-06 07:38:37 +0000 UTC]

I suppose, though, if I really thought about it, the next chapter will probably be the end of "Act 1" as it were. So in a way I guess you could say it's ending soon.

kyrio In reply to ScytheRider [2013-05-06 04:32:12 +0000 UTC]

Ahhah I'm sorry if it does give that impression, although I do encourage anyone whose fallen behind to catch up, of course. But, believe me the comic is far from ending. I just really wanted to do something special.

Glad to hear it. Your comic is great and I would hate to see it end so soon after I found it.

I seriously love the style some of the panels have, especially the second one. It's neat when something can be very simple with few values but you can still garner form from it. Not to mention the way you've done Cole's flame across all of them is neat.

Gah?! Aodan is lacking in the tail-fire department! How have I failed to notice this prior? In other news, this is a fantastic little montage.

Charcole in color, long time no see~

I don't have much to say outside it's awesome, even though I do want to say something other than that to make it a more meaningful comment...
Um.
Wow this thing is awesome

Awesome! I have comics in my head I'm waiting to make that have music to go with them as well!
4 years though, wow! It was great to listen to and scroll through. I like the coloring style you went with!
Ahahaha, I think it was worth not sleeping to get this done.

That's some fine use of music and comics! It's like a webcomic version of one of those emotional flashback montages at the end of a particularly-important anime episode

Whoa. I loved the song - never heard of the band before, thanks! I loved the artwork - reminded me of things I had forgotten since I started reading CharCole. The two together... between you and one other artist who pairs their art with music, I'm starting to think that whenever possible, the two art forms _should_ be enjoyed together, when compatible pairings can be found. It adds resonance and memorability to the music, and resonance (again) and impact to the visual art.

Dammit, now I have to read CharCole from the start again.

Keep doing what you're doing, I love the comic both visually and in content. CharCole has actually helped me through a tough spot or two, and I've shared it with my little brother (he's dyslexic, so I read it to him).
