Chronicle Four - The Tybalt
Other Comics by Oran Rocha/KnightQuest Online
Welcome!
Updates: Fridays
Check the main page, livejournal or twitter for updates
27-JAN-12
 A new chapter starts off today. Chronicle Four The Tybalt. I've also updated some of the galleries. Gallery 4 now home to finished Dark Bane artwork, unlike the prelims page that has rough sketches, initial designs and the like.
13-JAN-12
 And we're back with a new page as we learn some more about the elves from the last couple of pages and Diana plans for the future. This is the 150th page and one more page to go until the next chapter starts.
06-JAN-12
 Working on the next couple of pages to end this chapter on, but I did get inspired and did the inks for the next chapter's cover.
04-DEC-11
 The comic is late due to the fact that my desktop is infected with a virus. I'm taking care of it, but there only so much I can do when its at my house and I spend most of my time here at my Dad's. Monday's Last Chance update shouldn't run into any snags as the next page is done.
28-NOV-11
 Had to work at the store thanksgiving thursday to black friday morning. That completely screwed up my schedule. But, the new page is now up as well as Last Chance.
04-NOV-11
And here we have the first in story appearace of a Tybalt Knight. I had a bit of rewriting to do on these next couple of pages which is why I missed last week's update. As planned, this chapter would have ended in one page with Princess Amadora already rescued by Rafael after the part we just saw with Dame storm. On their way back from the Northern Forge to Silverdrake they
see the same huge blast that Dame Storm saw last page. But that was too quick. Also, the people who I had kidnapped the princess originally presented a lot of plot problems so they were changed to someone already seen. So, the hunters will be making another appearance, as will another queen and you will see a Tybalt knight in action.
07-Oct-11
 Just a reminder that the first chapter of the Dark Bane is for sale as 48 page comic at indyplanet.
23-Sept-11
 Dame storm is back as she faces off with whats left of an Troll raiding party. The good news is that the next three pages are finished and done. The bad is that I'm only posting them one at a time instead of all at once. That's one of the ways I keep falling behind on updates. Also, if you notice the ad off to the side and below, you see that
the first chapter of The Dark Bane is ready to be purchased in print form from IndyPlanet. And also as a digital download.
More updates next week.
09-Sept-11
 Dame Storm, The Lady Nemesis, makes her return with today's page. Is she a hunter or a queen?
05-Sept-11
 Well, I managed to get back home today with the inked pages and got to work. Power came back on at my house friday night, but I'm still down at my dad's place while he's recovering. I have one new page up today with the next one up this friday. The pages are done, so there shouldn't be any delay and all I'll have to do it upload. With luck, I'll have the next pages done on time.
27-Aug-11
 I just got back to the house and I'm working on finishing the first Dark Bane book. More on that later.
22-Aug-11
Sorry for the delay. Last week my father got out of the hospital and I stayed over at his house for four days straight. Which meant that I couldn't get to my computer or any of my files. Even though I had about two pages ready this time, I'm only posting one since I don't know when I'll get back to my computer.
12-Aug-11
 Managed to get about 5 pages drawn and ink last night while I visited my dad in the hospital and I managed to scan and letter two pages for today. Hopefully, I can get the next update up earlier. And for those who miss the bonus sketch of High Elf Prince Halian, I had up since monday, you can find the here.
08-Aug-11
 Managed to do this quick sketch of Halian, a High Elven prince and grandfather to Rafael and Diana. Next page should be done by friday.
04-Aug-11
Early update this week as my dad is still in the hospital. Hopefully, I can mantain updating on fridays again and not run into the problems I had before.
29-July-11
 My original plans to post another page and move the updates to friday ran into a snag this week when I learned that my father was in a hospital. He's doing much better but it looks like I'll have to try again next friday. As a little bonus, here's a sketch of an elf with some tribal markings to hold you over until friday.
25-July-11
 I've finally decided to switch over to the new design. Check back again friday for another comic.
19-July-11
Making changes here and there on the site this week. The sites' main page is one example. I'm making changes here and there so some things might be different or new.
11-July-11
 Only one new page and its the one that I scrapped last week. I had some time and I felt I could savage what I had done so here it is. I also have a color wip version of Rafael sketch that I posted last week. I'm still working on the cover and that knightquest logo behind him won't be on the actually cover, it just an image tag. Also, I said in the past that I was working on improving the page
layout and I have. You can check out the differences here.
03-July-11
 Work got in the way of the comic and it wasn't until this week that I was able to draw. I managed to draw and ink four new pages of Last Chance, two of which are now up. Unfortunately, I wasn't liking the way the next page of the Dark Bane was coming out so I scapped it. But there is a new sketch this week. I finally managed to draw a cover for the book
I've been planning. Now all I have to do is the bonus pages and it will be done. The comic will be back with the next update.
15-June-11
 Sorry for the delay this week. I had to resize a page I did last week and had to reletter it again. Also, I'm working on a new page design, which if all goes well should be up soon.
06-June-11
 I'm back again in less than a week with another new pages. You can also check out a new page of Last Chance as well. The next page should be
up next Monday. Also, check out the Diana tshirt I have below from cafepress store.
04-June-11
 Sorry for the delay, I have one new page up today and another page ready to be updated monday afternoon.
25-Apr-11
No new comics this week as I ran out of time to draw anything. But I do have some new art for the Dark Bane to put up. I'm trying to get the first chapter of the Dark Bane collected together for a book and I'm currently working on the cover and various other extras to be included. This sketch of Queen Edolaine is one such first attempt. I'll try to get some new comics done something this week or the next.
18-Apr-11
 This week I only have one new page. But, it does feature the first proper appearance of the Cobalt order and the Cobalt symbol behind Mother Blade. The Cobalt are one of the original, major bad guys of the series. More of them next week and in the next chapter.
28-Mar-11
 I'm back with a new page of the Dark Bane. Only one this time as I'm working on collecting the first chapter of the Dark Bane into an actual print comic. Check back again for more info.
21-Mar-11
 I have a new scanner/printer to go with my new windows7 computer. My old scanner, along with my printer and the two digital cameras I have, don't work with Win7. I found that out the hard way which is why there weren't any new comics here for a while. Last Chance TBH was updated with two new comics and the Dark Bane will be back next week. I have a preview panel up that shows the next pages. It just needs to be lettered. Check back next week for more.
10-Sept-10
 Still adjusting to various things. It has kind of thrown off my updates and other things. Hopefully I can get things back to normal around here.

22-Aug-10
 Sorry for the lack of updates but I've been taking it easy. Work was getting to me and I needed a break. Didn't plan on it being nearly three weeks long but I'm back.
02-Aug-10
 Okay, if you didn't check out the livejournal, I've move my webcomic updates to monday from now on. This affects the Dark Bane and Last Chance. I done this as I now have the whole weekend to work on the comic pages and real life crap and then update the comic monday afternoons after I get off work. This is the way things have worked out the past couple of weeks so I finally decided to make the change permanent.
25-July-10
I've added some banners at the bottom of the page.
19-July-10
And we've hit the big numbers! With this update, Last Chance has reached over 300 pages of the current series. And the Dark Bane finally reaches 100 pages.
26-June-10
 The third chronicle begins. Queens and Hunters begins with a little history lesson on the queendom of Silverdrake. I've also added a story so far page.
14-May-10
 Story problems with the comics held up the update last week. But I'm back with a new page as we near the end of this chapter with only a couple more pages left.
24-Apr-10
 We have a special two page update for the Dark Bane this week. I also have a quick sketch I did a while back of diana in a bath. Like most of my quick sketches I did it without any planning and her head looked smaller than the rest of her body. I went back and fixed the sketch as best I could.
04-Apr-10
And we are back after a good deal of time. I needed some time away from the comic in order to work on my taxes and to actually live on my days off work. Now all I have to do is go over them again and they're done. As for the updates from now on they'll be limited to one page updates for each comic. I really don't like to do this as it does slow down the story but the time it takes to pencil, ink, scan, letter, resize, and what I'll call a lame attempt at "color" is taking too damn long. There might be more pages for this domain's anniversary, but it isn't set in stone.
19-Mar-10
No comics this week as I'm devoting this weekend to doing my taxes. I'll be back next week with new pages of the Dark Bane as Dame Storm finishes her task. To hold you over here's a sketch of yeoman uniforms in the tarkolian imperial military.
11-Mar-10
Sketch of a tarkolian gladiator is up until the comic gets updated over the weekend.
07-Mar-10
 Two new pages of the Lady Nemesis. The sketch of Mithras I had up has been move to its on page and there will be another one up around next thursday. Check back here or the main page for any new updates or news.
04-Mar-10
Just updating the comic with a sketch of Quirinus Mithras, the centurion commander who will show up more in the next chapter. New pages should be up by the weekend.
23-Jan-10
 A lot of things happen last week. Lack of sleep, hurting my arm shoveling snow, my job being crappy, and other stuff keep my occupied. But, I back now and here the start of Dame Storm's annihilation of everything in her path.
 I'm tweaking things here. After 3+ years I've finally adopted the look of the main page for this page. The old design was suppose to be a temp placeholder until I could change the format to something like this. Obviously, I fell behind on that. Check back here in the coming weeks, I should have new pages up with info about the many races of KnightQuest, the worlds of Kimua,and whatever else I deem neccesary.
15-Jan-10
Okay, I've been away for awhile, working on various things. We're now back with two new pages and we will be back next week with two more next week. I went through the archive and discovered that the first couple of pages were done in 2006. So it actually took me 3 years to finish the first chapter of 45 pages. I did focus more of Last Chance than on the Dark Bane, and I would skip weeks without an update and the story had no ending, but I really want to improve on this. And if I haven't stated it before, the comic update once a week, right now on or by saturday.
21-Dec-09
Updated the comic and added a vote incentive.
04-Dec-09
I've just scanned in the next two pages that I started drawing last night and finish this morning. I had planned to put off the next update until week since I did update early this week. But, I spent money to advertise on Errant Story, I should show some regularity with updates and not scare people off with the lack of them like I usually do. The next two pages should be up by tomorrow.
10-Oct-09
And we start yet again. Last week, KnightQuest-Online turned....seven..I think and I finished the rough script for this next chapter. This is a first for me, having a story more or less done at the start. And I hope it means that there won't be any delays like I had on the last chapter. Aside from the "knight save princess/queen" plot, I HAD NOTHING ELSE to work with. I was making it up as I went along and it took nearly two years. This finished script should cut down on the production time and I'm really excited about it. More next week.
19-Sept-09
 Well, from the date down below, its been nearly five months since I've touched this page or updated anything Dark Bane related. If you've read the main page, then you know that I've been on work on the next chapter. To hold you until it starts, I've posted new sketches in the prelims page like the one up top. This is a quick sketch with rough colors of Dame Storm in a gypsy disguise. Its was done to see how she would look. I've got over 20 pages of story sketched out now and soon I'll either be finish or have enough pages done that I can start drawing the pages. It will definately start by october and it will take top priority this time, not Last Chance.
03-Apr-09
Okay, it's finally done. The first chapter, or chronicle, of the Dark Bane is now complete. It's over 45 pages long and it looks like I started this thing sometime in april 2007. 45 pages in two years. I don't know if that's good or not, I was doing Last Chance as well as this and it took priority. I'm going to go start working on some comics that I want to see in actually print form in one way or the other while still working on Last Chance. And I also want to have the entire next chapter to be completely written out before I start drawing, so the next chapter of the Dark Bane won't be up for some time.
 I originally wanted to post the last four pages together but computer trouble wouldn't let me. So I'm posting the two that I managed to finish before.
17-JAN-09
 Okay, the last time I updated The Dark Bane was about two months ago in November. Work and lack of sleep hampered my progress and I barely got any Last Chance comics done. I really wanted to get the last pages of this chapter done before the new year, but things happen. Chapter 1 should finish up in the next update.
24-Oct-08
The story continues after a two month break.
31-May-08
Here's a comic I penciled and inked about two or three weeks ago and just today finished the lettering for.
29-Apr-08
To celebrate KnightQuest-Online.com's two year anniversary I've posted FOUR new page!
11-Apr-08
Busy working on future story lines and had no time to do the next pages. Should be back with new comics next week.
28-Mar-08
The comics are back as well as a cast page and a few updates to the prelim page.
20-Mar-08
No new comics this week but here's a sketch I did for a background to the Dark Bane pages. I like so much I might use it as a comic page.
12-Jan-08
Two new pages DB019 and Db007. I've also fixed the numbering on several pages.
20-Dec-07
 Two new pages are up and some new sketches were added to the prelims page.
19-Nov-07
KnightQuest: The Dark Bane continues after a long wait.
17-Aug-07
New page after a long wait. I'm planning on finishing this story up soon and that means adding the missing page. With me doing Last Chance The Beast Hunter, the next update is still uncertain.
28-Apr-07
To celebrate KnightQuest Online's one year anniversary at this address I've added two new pages of the Dark Bane and Last Chance The Beast Hunter. Look for this first story to be finished in the coming weeks.
 It's been a while. Next update is uncertain for now.
