Bane of Heroes

[Zaku]

Fluff is good. Don't wanna get into this thing without a solid background.

I agree. It's why the forum being redone is taking so long.

[Gen Gravy]

That and I assume some computer game is getting in the way.

[Zaku]

Actually no.

[Gen Gravy]

Huh... Well, myth busted.

[Zaku]

I play sparatically. It's called having college classes from 11:30 to 5:00. Thats whats fucking me up.

[Gen Gravy]

That's a lot a college.

I spend most of my high school day sleeping, because my teachers are so inane and inept, that it is a miracle of modern science that they are able to wipe themselves.

[Zaku]

I only have tuesdays and weekends off.

[Gen Gravy]

Weekends are a dissapointment for me.

[Gen Gravy]

I am currently working on a possible cover for the prologue of "Bane of Heroes". I have been working on it the past two days, hopefully, I will have it up here by tomorrow afternoon. It will not be in ink, or have color, but it will not be a simple sketch.

[Gen Gravy]

Remember this image of the characters from October?:



Here is an updated version that I quickly sketched out:



Some noticeable differences are Odamaru's cloak, Leo's tabard, and Aest's physique.

With Odamaru, the cloak seemed half-assed at first. I re-designed the cloak, and stiff felt like something was missing. That was when I realized that the cloak could use some sleeves, and instead by a large overcoat/jacket. Of course, just by looking at the picture, you can tell that Odamaru doesn't even use the sleeves, they just flap around. Odamaru's headband now has a symbol instead of a small ornament. Why? The ornament would have been a nuiscance to draw, so I used the symbol I constantly associate with other characters, such as Scythe and Bane. It is a question mark with no dot, and a slash to its right. I originally created the symbol for Scythe, but I find myself putting it on other characters often.

With Leo, I decided to get rid of the tabard, and gave him a sash and cape instead. Why? I wanted to draw knight armor for Leo. His armor design is similiar to what I did to Bane, but I kept the high metal collar from the previous design.

With Aest, I wanted to make him older, and more masculine. Before, he seemed a little young. I gave him a quite masculine chin and removed two horns. His shoulders are broader, and his arms longer. His feet have been redsigned to look more humanoid, in that the toes are huge and wide apart. He still has an eyepatch over his left eye, but I got rid of the skull buckle on his loincloth. He no longer carries an axe.

[Zaku]

Leo is creepy lanky and aest looks like a bull now.

[Almightynam]

See, for Aest, I always thought he looked like a anthropomorphic dragon, not masculine or young or anything like that. In fact, I don't think words that describe humans would even work in this situation.

And I see zaku back, does that mean you're healed up, or just happening to have access to a compy in the hospital.

[Zaku]

I'm not in the hospital nam.

[Almightynam]

Oh, I thought you were. It sounded serious enough that I just assumed you were in a hospital.

[Zaku]

I was for about 9 hours. But it's not serious anough to warrent a hospital stay. Besides we have no health insurance. So we couldn't stay if we wanted to.
