Why hello thar,
it's 2 journal entries for the price of also 2.
I wanted to update you guys on some of the stuff I've been working on and honestly it's mostly been on my (hopefully) upcoming comic. I've been collaborating with a fellow deviant of which I forgot the name off because I've been in contact with him mostly through emails.
Anyways on to the comic stuff. The story is about a group of //warriors/adventures/whatever the hell you want to call them// who are hired to retrieve a woman called Mei Ling and it all goes down hill from there. The story takes place in a fictional medievilish world with plenty of different (but familiar) cultures.
My influences thus far have been; Ed, Edd n Eddy, The 100, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Naruto and The Order of the Stick. Which are some pretty dang varried influences if I may so so.
The story is partially planned out with help from the fellow deviant and yours truly will be taking care of the drawing. If you do want to help in any way (Design, story, dialogue, drawing etc.) that would be very appreciated. I want to make this story with people so I'm sure I'd be loads of fun if I got more help.
Concept art:A promotional? image I created. 'The Nine' is the working title of the comic and the guy that's sitting on the E is Arthur. He's one of the main characters and part of the titular 9.
A map I created for the series. This is for myself so I have a sense of scale where all the places are and such.
I = A civilization based on the Japanese and the Huns.
II = A number of different Barbarian tribes based on western Germanics
III = A civilization based on the French and Celtic peoples.
IV = A religious civilization based on Slavic countries and Buddhist and Christian monks.
V = An empire based on medieval Europe and Arabia
VI = A civilization based on the Chinese
VII = A civilization based on Moorish Spain/North Africa, Turkish and Iranian people.
VIII = A number of different tribes based on africans.
IX = A civilization based on the Viking, northern germanics
Very early concept art of the titular 9, I made this a while ago and it's obviously unfinished and crude. Can you recognize some of these when you look down below.
The titular nine and some concept art. Some of this has changed since then even though it is pretty recent.
Concept art of the mooks that will be present during the first and second arc of the comic. I decided to draw up a few possibilities but I liked numbah 1 the most.
A couple of insane Chinese/easterling assasins. The mask is supposed to be based of the appearance of Chinese dragons.
A number of different character that are present in one way or another in the story. I actually liked most of these pretty well and will probably only change this a little bit when they appear.
Allright I have some more stuff, but I'll keep to myself for now.
Hope you liked it
BUH BYE
