Dragon Comic Review, look if ya want

Leafstorm · Jan 08, 2009 1:06 PM

This is a comic i decided to make (after playing LoS DotD i pretty much fell in love with the artwork and the mythological stories in the background i seem to always notice...) The comic will be called "Leafstorm" because the two main characters are these two dragons, the main being a rare storm dragon called Chase and his love Buto, a gentle earth dragon. hence, buto being leaf and chase as storm

Plot/story
Chase thinks he's a goofy, runty little gray dragon, but he's actually a rare storm dragon of immense powers that will cause the darkest of creatures to seek and enslave or destroy him. After hibernating for five years when a baby, he wakes up in a torn up world as a cute teen/almost youngish adult dragon. After rescuing his sworn enemies (young dragons from his childhood) he decides he must leave his home for a better place, but not without bumping into his childhood love Buto, though seeing her grown a little more almost made him faint. (picture a dragon with hearts for eyes and you'll get the picture) Returning to his senses, he tells her his plans to leave, and even tries asking her to come with him. She kindly declines (which broke his heart) and then later after getting into a brutal fight witht he other dragons (who despise him and always insult him) she goes with him anyway. Upon stumbling upon a Ratt village at the base of the mountain they tell Chase of Naukell and his daughter Simone (se moan) the only other two storm dragons alive, Naukell who rules the Kingdom of Elvar, which was very far away.
so get to these dragons in a faraway kingdom while avoiding capture and death from thousands of dark creatures greedy for power? sounds easy right?

first image to give you an idea of what they kind of look like, i am still making a looot of changes, so it would be cool if anyone decides to give me ideas.

i am also working on the script. im still on chapter one "Brewing the Storm"

These aren't the final looks for them. I have to find the right wings for Buto, and the right expression for Chase, and do a lot of other edits. I drew another pic this morning (yeah i decided not to sleep tonight and this pic took me nearly 4 hours to make on gimp, so i sit here, laughing to myself at 5 in the morning)

the first pictures will be without colors. I will add colors later.
here is the one i took so long to make. I had a lot of problems getin the hind legs right, and I think the heads may be a bit big, and they don't look as good as the other, they look a little fatter? but hey, i tried to make something nice this morning and make this comic idea work. I wanted to show their expression so you can see the emotion. try guessing who just said what to give such looks

EDIT:::::
ok i didn't have a post for pictures of what i've hand drawn
so i'll just stick 'em right here

thanks for the encouragement!

there are many more characters to be added, but since i have not enough time on my hands to give them a detailed profile (the current ones are for the main characters which will have more things added on later) other characters will simply recieve a picture and their name (colored) i am also working on baby dragon pictures for the comic

those pictures will be going on this post when I make them

RedDragonX · Jan 10, 2009 12:41 AM

Needless to say...you are already a better artist then I ever will be big_smile ...keep up the great work!

Rurikredwolf · Jan 10, 2009 5:40 AM

I second Red. I can't even hold a pencil without feeling the need to throw it or my hand has like a seizure and I can't hold it.

Leafstorm · Jan 10, 2009 9:46 AM

I will get back to character pics later
i will now be starting on the first scene
i will try leaving gimp and going back to using paint, since gimp i use mostly for detailed portraits or something (one day i may reveal more of my masterpieces)
the first scene shall start out wi-

wait i shouldn't be telling you this
you will know soon enough, hopefully i get a chance tomorrow if im not dragged across los angeles to shop (ugh.)

*stares at caffine products*

fbocabral · Jan 10, 2009 6:36 PM

nice work, man ^^ i wanna something like that to read....
anyway, i think u must establish the character's psychological characteristics as well as the physical ones, so it would be easier to imagine their reactions along the storyline.

Swaffy · Jan 10, 2009 10:25 PM

For someone who is 13, you are doing an unbelievably good job at creating
the characters, storyline, and character profiles.

Keep up the good work! : ) This is already turning out to be a good
story / comic.

RedDragonX · Jan 10, 2009 11:09 PM

Yeah..by the age of 13 I knew how to draw a stick figure big_smile haha...that was my greatest accomplishment. Nah I'm jk I'm not really that bad....

Pretty close though...

Leafstorm · Jan 10, 2009 11:29 PM

i am trying to do a lot of work in so little time...
i've done comics before, but never on a computer
one one comic actually made two series, though i didn't make a third because i thought i was ready to do something else
i might see about getting it on computer one day...

i created an opening picture, it may not make sense at first site
the reason i drew a spade and a few rainclouds (and the spade is bleeding?! and it's white inside?!) is to signify that i forgot what i was about to say... im not sure, this was at two am... i forgot what the picture meant, so try your best to understand the picture when it gets posted
i will not release anymore images until i have finished a few scenes, maybe half the chapter. so nothing new is really going to be revealed until the scenes are done

patience friends... they'll come, and i am also working on everyone's personalities and other things that i may have left out, since i am officially starting my work

Rurikredwolf · Jan 10, 2009 11:49 PM

And I'm ending mine...

Spyro Master · Jan 12, 2009 6:54 PM

Rurikredwolf · Jan 12, 2009 11:41 PM

RedDragonX · Jan 13, 2009 12:12 AM

Yeah I know we both suck lol...I just like voicing it apparently...

Rurikredwolf · Jan 13, 2009 12:44 AM

You can hold the *bleep* pencil.

RedDragonX · Jan 13, 2009 3:07 AM

Yeah...I guess I don't have that problem...I use a pen most of the day instead...or just a computer.

fbocabral · Jan 14, 2009 3:05 AM

RedDragonX · Jan 14, 2009 3:26 AM
