@The Echo Effect:

wow i feel like i really have true fan of this comic in you, i just wasnt expecting anyone to still be following this comic after so long without an update. it really does bring some life back into this project when i know that theres still readers remembering this comic :)

Haha, I was missing this comic so badly yesterday! Thanks for the awesome update! As usual, the art and details are amazing. Love it ~<3

So yeah, I've been trying to find a good Monster Hunter webcomic for a while, and I finally find this one. Honestly, I'm blown away. The excellent art, detail for the characters and monster, and the enjoyable feel. This comic is something I'd like to see a lot more. Great work!

Oh man, he looks pretty beat up ): The whole composition though, the smoke and the fire, the lighting and coloring....so beautiful ~<3

Yay, Handsome Joe gets his moment to shine! I really don't understand how you do it. In all the comic, there has never been a boring page. Ever. I love it. And I really love the angle on page 117. Your art is always so fun to look at! *happy sigh* I wish you the merriest Christmas!

@The Echo Effect:

ahh man i was kinda hoping u were still following this :)
and not just forgotten about it since it took so long to upload lol

i know how much u like this
but ive taken so long that i dont blame people for not following anymore

Oh dear, Dawner my love D8 Once again, you never cease to amaze. And once again, you have left us at quite the cliffhanger! The fighting scenes are exciting, and leaves you wanting more. The whole story just makes you wonder what will happen next! And of course your art tops it all off. The comic is very professional^^ As always, take your time with the next batch, we'll all be here waiting~ <3

@Mr Hentai:

ok then,for now I will read this every time you release new pages!

@afikri10:

there will be a hunter with a longsword but wont show up till volume 2 (long long way from now)

awesome art,awesome everything!
but why is there nobody using the longsword?(sorry,i just read until page 28)
i prefer the longsword...
AWESOME!!

Must....have....more....

@The Echo Effect:

thank you you are very sweet
although it may seem like im dead with no updates and all
i assure you i dont plan on giving up on this project

i will work on it till i finish at least 2 volumes(guaranteed)
if im healthy and can draw, you can count on new pages

@cwg246:
thank you
im glad you r liking it

@twilight samurai:
thank you

@Make It Shine:
haha
well hopefully it was worth the wait

@SharinByaku8:
thanks

Dawner is being the awesomest, hottest thing right now, no joke. You made me so happy with these updates, I was worried we wouldn't get anymore. Seriously though, I don't think I could ever forget about this, I was just thinking about it yesterday! So if waiting for a bunch of updates at one time is what you want, I'll wait forever ~<3

Neeeeedd Moooaarrrr o:

Amazing series, amazing art, amazing detail

Keep it up!

I can wait. I'll let the others know as well. :)

@EVERYONE:hey would you guys like me to upload new pages as i finish them or would you guys rather wait till i finish the whole chapter
there 25 pages for chapter 4
so you guys wouldnt be seeing new pages for like 2 months
if i upload them as i finish them youd guys would be seeing a page around every 2 days
i personally would rather wait for the whole chapter but seeing as how it will take so long, im scared you guys would have forgotten by then
but what do you guys want?

thanks guys again for all the comments

@Grifzor: wow that awesome! i dont think i can publish this since i dont own capcom, theyd probably sue me lol
but your welcome to read here for free

and btw your the best, thanks for spreading the word

@The Echo Effect and wingedshadowwolf: hehe im glad you girls liked it

@wingedshadowwolf:

Really? ....So, can we fangirl together now? :D

Dude you rock! I love this. If you ever decide to publish this into a book let me know, cause I'd re read it over and over :D

I've been spreading the word to my Monster Hunting friends and they can't get enough!

Oh geez, I had to stop myself from squealing like a fangirl when I saw this. I'm really looking forward to chapter four right now, my expression is matching your avatar's, and what can I say? Dawner is looking fine, very fine indeed. Thank you so much for the lovely picture :D

@wingedshadowwolf:

thank you :)

@The Echo Effect:

thank you so much for your comment
im unbelievably honored to hear that you bought the game because of this comic

hehe yeah that games can be quite a bit difficult at the beginning but once you get the hang of it
it so much fun, well at least thats what i think :)

im thinking about getting a wii just for Monster Hunter Tri
man id give anything to play with other people

btw i have a feeling your going to like Chapter 04 :D

Aw man, you left us at a cliff hanger, quite literally! Anyways, I'm completely loving this, and as I said before, the art, characters and story are amazing. Is this little situation perhaps going to lead to some sort of character arc for Bruce? Oh, and I thought you should know, because of you I went out and bought Monster Hunter Tri! I'm quite extremely bad at it, but I'm going to get better! So thank you for taking the time to share this comic with us, I honestly love it, and look forward to the next update.

This is absolutely amazing, the artwork is on par if not better than some of the professional manga artists. Just picked up monster hunter again and it is so much fun to read a story about it like this. Great job.

Seriously epic artwork. I love it. ;D

@everyone

thank you guys for the comments
i dont wanna comment them all cus i dont wanna spam this comment box with just my replies
but i do want you guys to know that i do read them all
and they motivate me so much to want to continue this project
without ur guys comments id probably would have dropped this project a while ago
thanks a lot
and look forward to the next upload (will also probably be a 10 page bundle)

@The Echo Effect:

wow thank you
you have no idea how happy i am to find out theres still people on here that r still reading this

i thought that with the lack of new updates that people would lose interest
but im glad thats not the case

ive sketched out the new pages and r looking pretty good
i can't wait to upload them i see what you guys think of them
the hunt is just about to begin and i dont think it will disappoint :)

Wow...go Lance! I think Dawner is still my favorite, though.
And once again, the art is wonderful. The characters are awesome, and the story is exciting. I was so happy when I saw it updated, and then I saw all those pages and it was, like, heavenly ~<3 I'm really, really enjoying this comic.

hi, i play monster hunter alot. ^^ (maybe too much) my chracters name is zelda. (monster hunter tri, for the wii)

really cool comic :3

@Ninucha:

@Kaagemusha:

@Kaagemusha:

its dust :)

@15385bic:

thanks for commenting :)
im glad u r liking it
and to answer ur question, about 5 hours per page
depending on whether theres a lot of ditail or several characters

lol -only just discovered this manga ;P
but hey - it looks great - has humour and i love the poses and expressions - wow - how long do u spend on each page?

@Moofins:

:) thank you
its really cool to hear that

@Kaagemusha:
"lmao" stands for = Laughing My Ass Off :)

@Moofins:

thank you it means a lot
and its always nice to meet other fans of the game :)

@Kaagemusha:

lmao it is isnt it
u just reminded me that Joe was making fun of his name :)
nice one

@The Echo Effect:

:) first of all thank you for taking the time to comment
it really means a lot

and to answer ur question, well
i personally believe this is the best game i have ever played
so yeah a lot of inspiration comes from the love for the game

its sad but yeah
not many people know about these games here in the US
but its a huge hit in japan
i like to think it is slowly getting noticed here though :)

What I would give to be able to draw like you....
I'm loving the story so far, as well as the characters and their designs. I'm curious as to how much your inspired by the game? And I admit, even though I'd never heard of Monster Hunter before, I'm tempted to buy it because of you....<3

@Ninucha:

wow thank you :)
yeah i draw everything

though i cant take too much credit
since i do use references for the armors and weapons

@kalek09:

thanks man for sharing ur thoughts on this
its means a lot :)

the story gets better too

graphically this is better than som mangas I read xDDD

wow! this is awsome man! it feels like im really reading from a book! hehe

@soul artist:

well thank you :)
means so much to have another fellow artist write that

i like to think it gets better though hehe

man this is one of the best ones I have seen on here. your really good.

@wingedshadowwolf:

yeah thats an actual monster from the game
just about everything is. armor and the weapons
i wanted fans of the game to relate

all i own are the characters and the story

nice cover for chapter 2!! i can't wait.
did you make up the monster or did you redraw it from the game??

@angelsu:

:) well thanks
yeah me too lol
free is always good

the downside to this being free is that...
well it takes me about a week to get some pages up :(

but you get my word that whenever i get some free time ill be working on new pages :)

@angelsu:

wow
you have no idea how happy it makes me to read ur comment :)
it really means a lot

@twilight samurai:

and will fight like brothers too ;)

@om nom nom:
thank you i really appreciate you commenting :)

@seed23:

i havent even finished this one lol
so yeah i doubt ill b making a monster hunter 3 comic
but they r pretty much the same thing except for the new monsters :)

to be honest i dont even think ill be getting the game either
cus i dont have a wii
ill buy it if it ever comes out for the ps3

I luv the comic bcuz the game is so amazing!!!! You planning on making a Monster Hunter Tri comic?

@:

thanks
im glad you like one of the characters :)
and thanks for commenting
i love comments

@gaidek:

lol
thank you very much :)

@HuskyYueAyase:

:)
thanks for commenting
its always nice to find another fan of the game

i have heard of that website
been to it a few times
but i dont have an account but maybe ill make one :)

i dont have a xbox 360 either lol
only a ps3
it sucks because MH3 was orginally intended to come out for ps3 but it was going to be to expensive so they went with the wii :(

im too poor to buy other systems lol
i dont even have internet anymore
i have to use the library's

@Mr Hentai:

it's ok! take ur time!! no need to rush things. ^_^

@oturan ikamuzu:

lol
its cool
u dont have to get it if u dont want to or cant :)

but in my opinion i think its the best game i have ever played
especially the newest one for psp cus u get ur own cat comrade that helps u fight monsters :)
but yeah thats my opnion

oh and sorry for not uploading a new page
im still working on it :)

@Mr Hentai:

CHRISTMAS?? THAT'S TOO LONG!! >_<

I can't wait that long. lol!!

but we'll see wat i can do. I'm not too much into games, but if it's good and exciting and stuff, yeah...I'M GAME!!

@oturan ikamuzu:

hehe i understand
im poor too lol

but theres always christmas lol

@Mr Hentai:

who knows. I never played the wii before in my life!
So we'll see how things go!!

ebay u say?? i'm broke. lol!! maybe i'll ask one of my friends.

@oturan ikamuzu:

awww man!
ill do my best with the comic so it wont feel like ur missing out on the game :)
u might b able to find monster hunter for ps2 on ebay though

yeah
i dont think Monster Hunter for Wii will b motion sensitive(by this i mean i dont think ull be able to swing ur weapon my swinging the controller)
i think ull need a normal control
though i could be wrong

@:

thank you
but im afraid i cant take that much credit since all the armors and weapons r from the video game Monster Hunter :)
i looked at them for reference

all i can really claim is the story lol
but thank u :)

@Mr Hentai:

DAMN!! >_< I guess it is going to be hard to find. I don't have a psp either!

*sigh*
they're making one for the wii?? i wonder how that will be....kinda interesting!!

@entropy0013:

hey thanks for ur thoughts
greatly appreciated :)

I like your manga. The introductions are being done in a normal manner with the new guy fishing for names. Keep the good work you be gaining in popularity.

@DerKek:

aww yeahhh!
i knew i would find some Hunters on this website :)
i mean for crying out loud!
this is like the best game ever!

and thanx
im glad u r liking it so far
and dont worry im already working on the nest page

@oturan ikamuzu:

thanks
and yeah there r some old version(the first ones actually) for the PS2
but they might be hard to find

right now the newst ones r for PSP
Monster Hunter Freedom Unite :)

but theres a newer one coming out for the Wii
its sad though cus i dont have a wii :(

@Mr Hentai:

it's a good manga! u should read it one day!! ^_^ i really recommend it!

Wow!! wat game console is it for?? (ps2/3, x-box, etc)
i only have a ps2!!

@oturan ikamuzu:

yeah ive heard about Monster Hunter Orage but ive never read it
and yes it is based off of Monster Hunter games

yeah the game is very underrated here in the US
but in japan its a huge hit
but word about this game is getting spread and more people are getting exposed to its awesomeness lol

u should definitely try it
its a bit complicated at first
but before u know it, ull b addicted like the rest of us lol

@Yaone:

thank you :)
thank you for sharing ur thoughts on this

@Mr Hentai:

oooh! i haven't played the game but there's a manga that's called monster hunter orage by hiro mashima that i read, and i think it's also based off from the game too. *not sure*

yeah, i wouldn't understand, but i'm starting to understand some of it from reading your manga. it seems like monster hunter is a really popular game. maybe i should play it too. lol!!

@oturan ikamuzu:

thank you
i wasnt expecting people to like this since its based of a game and u kinda need to be familiar with it in order to understand most of the stuff
but apperantly people do like it

thank you for continuing to read
and commenting :)

@Gus likes pie:

@kiota37:

u probably read a lot of manga or comics so u probably know more than me at this
u think maybe u could explain to me so i can work on improving it :)

wow, you are a great artist you should be very proud of ur work, lol na i enjoyed it abit weird with wording but still a good read

@HuskyYueAyase:

oh damn really?! :)
about time! i mean i was beginning to wonder where all the monster hunter fans were on this website
i mean this like the best game ever for crying out loud! lol

hey you should still make ur comic, dont get discouraged by my crappy artwork, we got to spread the word about monster hunter to all the otakus on here :)

oh and bad news
i dont own a wii :(
so it looks like ill b missing out on MH3
i do have a ps3 where i play MHFU online though
(hopefully one day MH3 comes out on the ps3) hehe

@kuro95:

@ABitOfEvrythin:
gee thanx and also thanx for the subscribe it means a lot, it really does

@twilight samurai:
it helps to roughly sketch out the entire body without going to much into detail
i also did take a figure drawing class at my university
it helps a lot with proportions

@twilight samurai:

thank you :)
this will actually be based on the video game
which is where i got the logo from (i wish i had made it lol)

and i hope you like the comic
