Description So, upon redrawing my Alien Siren Fish Things in the painting on TS - page 42 (which, btw, that is one of the 4 for the Spoiler attempt thing. MEGA HINT!) the thought came to mind "Hey, what ever happened to that story I had in plan using these guys?" This lead me to searching in my folders to find these.

Tillanix Sea (abbreviated TSea to avoid confusion with TS) was a short comic I had planned but dropped very quickly when I realized the plot had too many holes and lacked any real entertainment value. It was going to be another story that branched off from Calestine Princess, which particularly revolved around another important race of my stories - Tillanix. Which, for some odd reason, I never draw. :0 Which is funny considering they are a much more intriguing race to me than Ambivians or Lanians.

Image 1 is the basic environment of the Tillanix's planet XanΓ©tean. It doesn't have the best weather and the sun hardly shows itself. Oceans take up a high majority of the surface, the land consisting of not-so-much continents as peninsulas and islands. XanΓ©tean makes most of their export profits from their huge fishing industry. The oceans are treacherous, though, and non-natives risk their lives even attempting to go out into it.

Image 2 is actually a panel taken from the draft of page 1. The oceans, though scary on the outside, can have their own beauty underneath the surface. However the danger factor is still there. If the waves and storms don't kill you, the sea fauna surely will.

TSea is not and will not be a comic series. If anything, the story might be written. Probably more as a practice story than anything to work with grammar and stylistic choices and what not for my writing. I probably won't post it here unless the demand is high for some reason. It probably will never be a story I will take too seriously.


I didn't mean to put so many copyrights on this, lol. I didn't see one of them and accidentally put two on one image. I doubt anyone would want to steal these. Oh well. Haha!

Indeed. xD This world should be intriguing to figure how how its tides are effected/effect the other worlds~

"...how how..."? What does that mean? -.-

I would surely love to figure that out, but I still don't know where the suns are.
Tides are one thing, but what about currents?
Currents are very important you know; for example: Pokemon 2000 (I know it's a horrible example but bear with me), the collector/bad guy captured Moltres, disrupting the balance of forces keeping the underwater currents in check, which caused some pretty bad weather and, if not stopped, armageddon soon after. Prof. Oak explains this occurrance during the movie, which in those days, I didn't have a clue of what was going on. xD
Earth also has underwater currents, which you have probably seen in the movie Finding Nemo.
Where they are and how they got there, I don't know yet, but I will soon enough!

Looks really good! I like the way you've done the waves. One thing I might mention is that it seems like the symbol on top of the building in the background of the upper part seems a little too in focus compared with the other buildings. Maybe just me.

Great work!

hey! comic question:

you sketch your pages out first?(i do) and was wondering,

when you draw it, do you know colors your going to use? or do you just play around with it?

(like backgrounds)

also, do you script first?

thx, Lorelai

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

AlfaFilly In reply to gummywhales [2010-06-23 19:48:30 +0000 UTC]

Yes, I script before I do anything. Then I draw a little thumbnail image of the page on the back of the paper to get the overall layout of the page. Then I flip it over and sketch the page.

It depends on the background. I experiment with colors when the scene is first shown but then any pages after that where the characters are in the same scene I just use the same colors. Because, obviously, if colors change it would be silly. xD

Hmm, interesting stuff! I like the name Tillanix! You should cameo them in TS sometime. I've been trying to develop the watery parts of my world too, but there's nothing really sentient in Rimer's oceans.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

AlfaFilly In reply to Falcolf [2010-06-07 01:52:00 +0000 UTC]

I hope to include Tillanix in TS a good deal once the characters start going out into the public more. There are Tillanix immigrants all over the place on Ambivia. Plus, TS actually has a character who is one so I'm excited for that

The waters are certainly more difficult to develop for some reason. I wonder why? Some of Earth's most intriguing (and alien) looking life is in the oceans. Lots of inspiration there at least. Does Rimer have any significant bodies of water?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Falcolf In reply to AlfaFilly [2010-06-07 02:24:33 +0000 UTC]

Oooo I'm really excited now! I can't wait until they come in!! It'll be neat to see the mosaic of TS get even more varied

I think it's because we don't live in the ocean ourselves, so it's harder for us to imagine the oceanic world. Unless you're like a diver, or somebody who works with marine stuff, it's hard to really know and understand what's under the waves. The fact is, most humans never see that stuff except on TV. Until diving equipment was invented it was a complete mystery to most. Rimer does actually have about the same amount of ocean as Earth, but until this year it's really only ever had one significant animal - the tigra, which is a shark-like predator distantly related to dragons. These weren't even very well developed until this year, but now they are. I've been slowly thinking up a lot of creatures. There's more types of sea dragons now and a giant creepy worm thing that just swallows everything in its path like a giant horrific evil sea cucumber. (I currently call it a 'blob monster' lol. For lack of a better term.) It's a big wide ocean, but I've hardly scratched the surface of it. For instance; some falcolfs make their territories in the sea instead of on land. This is another thing; I need to design more types of falcolf. It doesn't make sense to me why there aren't any more species. I mean, like wolves once lived on every single continent except Antarctica, so falcolfs make sense that way, but there should at least be a few more variations in subspecies. What if there's a short haired kind? One that has more webbing in its paws? The seas of Rimer are a wide open area that needs to be explored.

AlfaFilly In reply to Falcolf [2010-06-07 04:00:39 +0000 UTC]

I'll see if I can doodle up some of my Tillanix characters and post them up!

I think that's quite true. Which is a shame since the oceans have some of the most beautiful, exotic, and, well, alien creatures around! Especially down there in the deeps where man can hardly go. They are quite inspirational. And colorful, in some cases! xD

Haha, blob monster! Yeah, that sounds intriguing getting more in depth with falcolf subspecies. It's really quite an interesting thing to play with your single species and make others off of it. I used to have so much fun doing that with one of my first original creations. I started with one and now I have around 10 subspecies! I'm currently doing something similar with Ambivians.

I think it'd be interesting seeing what kinds of variations you could come up with for them. Maybe even other species too? C:

Falcolf In reply to AlfaFilly [2010-06-07 05:47:23 +0000 UTC]

Ooo please do! I want to see them!

I've sort of had a few little subspecies for a while, but there's not enough genetic variation in them for the fact that they're different to really be noticeable. (Like certain colourations are only naturally found in certain geographical areas and some are bigger or smaller, but of course falcolfs are a well traveled lot, even more so than human so there's quite a bit of mixing around with the main species.) Haha, I've actually got a new idea for a species thanks to this conversation actually. I have no idea what to call it though; it would be a sort of sealish or ottery thing with very short legs with webbed paws and a long flat tail with short fur, but wings like a water bird. I'm also going to draw a concept for a short haired falcolf I think. That would be an odd creature to see.

Seems like a very murky, gloomy planet. Is that a Creator lighthouse?

I'm surprised that you don't do more Tillanix stuff, too. I'd like to see more of that race.

AlfaFilly In reply to ReverendAspen [2010-06-07 01:31:09 +0000 UTC]

Nope, just a church with a steeple. Though a lighthouse would be totally awesome... *doodles*

Culturally they are very intriguing to me. I guess, if I had to be honest, the main reason I never really draw them as much is because I fear people will see them and think "lol Xenomorph Alien !" because Tillanix are dark-colored reptilians with head crests and their tails look similar. Plus the weird connection with the letter "x". It's all completely coincidental, though. Tillanix were based on dinosaurs just like Lanians were lol Maybe I'm just paranoid but I think that's mainly the reason. Have you seen a Tillanix, btw?
