Here we go! Post all details about the webcomic here!
Also I really like your idea, it's quite epic and ambitious, and I love your main character so I am all for it. Allow me a moment to mind think things and I shall give some idears.
Full Version: Cookieberry Webcomic
Here's a recap of what I wrote!
Aether, a mysterious substance in the air, is a primal source of the universe – and only when it is condensed, will one be able to see it. The stars in the sky are such an example, as they are purely made of Aether.
Every so often, a shooting star is spotted in the night sky, as it quickly lands onto the surface of the planet. Most of the time, a ball of Aether will be in its place, but rarely, a seemingly mortal-like child will be there - a being made of Aether and flesh...
Floating above the earth, is a large, swirly black mass. From it, monsters called Voidspawn are created, causing terror.
~The main character, Corinne (the girl I've drawn/pixeld) is a star and she must make a great decision near the end of the story...
~I'm not sure how mortals use Aether to use magic, yet.
~The world has no name yet
~I need help ._.
The two characters that MUST be set in stone are:
Corinne Lanik - the star (literally)
William Tallahan. The boy with the green wizard hat and tunic I pixeled in my topic!
Other than that, the whole story is open to be worked on! ^__^

Couple of ideas:
Planet name - maybe something like Aerun? Similar to the mana and such, makes sense to me but I can have other ideas if this one isn't liked.
I think that mortals should require the use of devices to use Aether for magic, they can harness it for energy or for magic, but they do not have the capacity to do it themselves.
I like the concept of the comic being done in pixilated style, you do it really well and it's a unique concept, this is of course it's not too annoying for you to do it.
Oh I also think the comic needs some humor and not just 100% epicness, to draw in a bigger audience.

Aerun is a fantastical name!
I was thinking of them using stones - like condensed Aether spheres or something. XD Aerstones maybe? o.o
A whole pixelated comic? D= I think that would be cool, but very difficult for me. Drawing is easier for me, actually. I just have to learn to ink and color, and I'll be good!
There will be some humor (ESPECIALLY between Corinne and William - Corinne is really bold, William is very shy, etc.). XD
Also, some places:
The Albannia Kingdom
-----------------------------
* The Royal Capital of Freywall
* Aelmourn, the Enchanted Forest
* The Village of Elves, Thornhill

I like those ideas, also you and I are on the same track with the using of stones. I was also thinking, depending on how modernish it is, we could have them use Aether for machines and such too, but that all depends on the settings, give us some more details, papayaberry!
Also: I have no problem helping you write out scenarios and dialogues too, you just need to let me know about character personalities.

I was thinking the story is pure fantasy.
They might have some basic machines, though. Like clockwork/flintlock pistols. They can use fire Aerstones to use them? And maybe water Aerstones to have running water? They don't have any cool modes of transportation like cars or trains, yet though. If you have any idea of technology they might have, then share!
I shall tell you a bit about Corinne and William.
They are quite opposites of the spectrum. Corinne is optimistic, bold, and playful. William is timid, submissive, and a pessimist. XD
Corinne - I think her outfit needs more work. XD
William:

I like the designs! You might add some more detail to the dress itself though, it looks a bit plain but pretty.
I like the concept of stones used for pistols and running water. They could also use Air Aerstones(Heh punny) for ship transportation, like speed increases on the water? Earth could be used for magical construction and such.
I like the personalities too! I can work with those as a writer!

YES! Good idea about using the other elements.
Corinne's dress needs more work. Maybe Cookie can help - if she's onboard - or anyone else. XD I honestly suck at costume design.
William can use Aerstones, but only very very very slightly. His personality is actually just like an older version of Vivi from Final Fantasy IX. Ummmm... If you don't know who that is, then: http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Vivi_Ornitier
I picture Corinne to be a lot like Vanille from Final Fantasy XIII: http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Oerba_Dia_Vanille
I have a document for William my friend gave me (he belongs to him - that's why he's set in stone), if you want to read it and learn more about him.
Also... The only races so far are: Star People (Corinne), Humans (William), Elves (??????), and Voidspawn (demon-like creatures). XD

Actually Vivi and Vanille are two of my favorite FF characters! I'll write up some dialogue samples and see what you think, may take me a bit though I want them to look good.
Haha! How lucky am I that Vivi and Vanille are some of your faves. XD
*waits on sample dialogue*
Also I was thinking of naming the story "Astralborn" after Corinne's origin. ;X
I wanted to mention that for Corinne's design, I had these images in mind:
EDIT:
This too!

Big Image
I... I'm lost. Is this currently a webcomic or a planned one?
::faints from the sheer amount of pure awesome in those images:: Seriously though, they look incredible. I'm always awed by your skill in art.
Anyways, so I've been doing some thinking and I'm going to make up a scenario and have a bit of dialogue between Corinne and William
So yeah, just a sample scenario, you can use it or not or whatever, just kind of how I'd see interaction between the two.

I like that idea/dialogue. It's cute. XD Maybe we can have the characters in a cute-like style too...? I love the relationship between Will and Corinne.
The first pixel/animated image looks amazing by the way, wowow. And the last one is very pretty... I can't see the 2nd one though. ( D: )
For the stones... maybe they're created from the shooting stars? Like where the stars touch/land, the earth gets "contaminated" and turns into aerstone? However, when the concentration of aerstone is high enough, it causes the black swirlies of voids? So aerstone is both a lifesource but a threat.

@amaro a planned webcomic.
@rune that's a really good idea, I don't know if appleberry had a plan for that or not yet, but I like it personally.

Oh, um, hey. I went to bed guise :I I was practically falling off my... bed? Idk, I was sleepy XD
I like the idea! Better than mine orz
Somehow, Corinne kinda reminds me of Cookie xD
I can help with the design, sure. I just don't have any computers now.

Wowzers! How did I miss this!? I'm with a friend now, but it looks good so far!
I did not draw the examples of Corinne's desings, by the way. I wish I did, though. D= By the way *coughcookiecough* Cookie is supposed to be chubby and endowed. Lols. >>;;
So a cute like style? Hmmm... I could see that actually. Maybe like... ?
(I DID NOT DRAW THIS - I WISH I DID)
If by Cookie is supposed to be chubby you mean Corinne is supposed to be chubby then I knew XD I read it somewhere in your art dump~
well I'm chubby too so XDD
sfsfsdfsdfs that example is kyewt >3<
I'll keep drawing nao

lol I have to leave in like 5 minutes XD
I can keep posting from my phone but obviously not drawing.

I like the new example either, also even though you didn't draw those, I'm still in awe of your art!
As far as style goes, I think we should go in comic/manga style, with this epicness it needs to be more then the four panel typical web comic.

I can't believe I missed this post, too! This is a GREAT idea! I just love it.
I am home now, and can't finally work seriously on this baby.
By style, I mean drawing style. Like a specific style. D=
Not just "manga" or something. That's too broad.
Also, what do you think of the title: Astralborn?
Simple lineart, celshading. Any other methods are too complex and time consuming xD yuumei did her comic as a flash, and it was neat.
That's the coloring style. XD
I mean the actual line art style.
Some examples we can take inspiration from! (I did not draw any of below drawings):
I have this for cutesy:
Or we have:
There's this too! :

Definitely the second! But, you need to keep your own style in mind too.
The second is my favorite artist!
The reason I ask is, because I technically don't have a style. D=
I can mimic the second though. I'll see what other people think, too.
I can't seem to design Corinne's main outfit, and I tried again today, but I'm like... stuck. ><

I like the second or the first! But yeah I agree with cookie, keep your own style in mind.
Post what you have of her outfit and maybe we can give some pointers?

I thought about adding a ribbon on her hair, making her sleeves a bit puffier on the bottom and adding a stitched pocket on the right side. Still need some more stuff, tho.
Okies..
This is all I have so far. Thoughts? What should I add? What should I change? Any ideas?
I think I shall mimic Akihiko Yoshida's style then (the second one). I love his style anyway - but they won't be exactly the same, I promise!

Hmmm, what about the puffy sleeves, ribbon, and a like scarf-tie thingy?
Like this?
Except less school-uniformy, and more of just like a scarf/shawl that middle aged women wear if you know what i mean?

I might know what you mean. O_oa
I want her outfit to be very cute and feminine, as that's the way she is~
Like the examples shown earilier. I'll give her short sleeves and make them puffy, though. ^__^

I'd go on MSN, but it doesn't work well on my computer and I have NO idea where the hell my phone ran off to.

I'm glad you like her design though <3

Awesome! It's great to see you getting started on this comic, Strawberry. 
Are you planning on making it a comedy/fantasy? And are you planning on keeping up with it for a long while (like a full set of chapters, etc.)?

It's going to be long. I have already written her enough story to fill 25-30 comics, and that's honestly just getting to know the story XD. I think this is going to last a really long time, especially with Strawberry's dedication to it!
You can't beat this with my writing, Strawberry's art and characters and Cookie doing coloring, backgrounds and touch ups. It's the ultimate collaboration of ultimate destiny....or some such.

It's not just me, Exy! I would have never even started if it wasn't for Shaddow's pushing. And Cookie's special art touch will make it even more worthwhile!
I'm so excited to see the first page when it's done! I won't rush Cookie ever, so I shall wait. I know it will be awesome!
I think we're going to try and go as far as we can with it - which includes arcs/chapters, etc.
It should be mainly fantasy, but there were be all kinds of other genres thrown in there!

Sounds like it'll be a lot of fun and I'll read it as soon as you start posting it up!
Good luck to the team!

Don't put all that 'a day or two' pressure on me, Shaddow 
I've started coloring, but it WILL take a few hours when I get back on the computer, and I'll be out of town sometime to visit my aunt.
Not to mention I'm pretty full of work...
Maybe I should finish my commissions and put my shop on hiatus?
Oh well. This is on the top of my priority list, along with mapping for CT. Just saying it might not be a day or two... Don't expect a lot of miracles from me!

I figured out what's gonna be the biggest problem for this comic's launch:
MY FRIGGIN' COMPUTER. The Earth's greatest jerk.
IDK why, but it REFUSES to work properly! Skype is laggy, SAI is laggy, Firefox is laggy, EVERYTHING is laggy!
I can't even move my mouse properly! >~< I wanna kick it out the window now.
