Alternate project.

So, being not content with only ONE comic project, apparently I have to start up a second. This one is short though! I promise myself... ish.

Anyway, I have no compunction about sharing with this one since the first big twist comes on basically the first page - second page if you want to get technical.

I'm not doing any planning for this one. I know the beginning, middle and end of the story, generally, but I'm writing the dialogue as I draw the pages, and I kind of like it this way - I get to focus more on telling the story with pictures instead of words. It its really quite liberating.



This will also be in full colour, because I'm not sadistic enough. I figure my colouring skills could use some pulling up anyway.

The title of this story is NET - Liam's Arrow, the reason being, the story takes place in a universe I'm pretty sure I'd like to come back to one day. Net has existed in the back of my head for... three, four years now, and I've always kind of wanted to go back for it. I wrote a story back in highschool for a portfolio assignment, where I came up with  the Net universe. That story... will not see the light of day for now. But, this story I came up for the net universe after, and... never did anything with.

Like all good science fiction, my goal is to build a universe, give it very specific rules, and then figure out ways for the characters to break them into pieces, and then use the shattered bits to learn something about people. That sounds pretty vague and a bit over eager I know, but it's the type of story I like to tell best. Plus, this one has a romance element to it, which is a good way for me to shake off my fluffies.

Here's a rough of the first 3 panels. The background is... actually my study notes for mechanics, with the gaps filled in with totally random snipetts of Destrofer lyrics
