Description The Prophets
>A clan of magic users now thought extinct. An obscure branch of the Children of Infinity, they rebelled against the main House and instigated the Wizard's War. Their leader, Manigula, vanished without a trace after the final battle and the Prophets were disbanded when the Mages Council was dissolved. Recently however there as been a resurgence of interest in the Prophets, prompted by the action of a group of vigilante revolutionists of the same name. These are distinguished by their characteristic masks and white robes, and they are the champions of cyborgs and persecuted mages. The Tijanis Law Enforcement considers them a small, if nagging threat. There is no information on their whereabouts, their leader, or their motives.

"Fanart" as it were for my webcomic: The Iron Wizard. I can't really say much about these guys, except that you will be seeing quite a bit of them in volume two, set to be released in late April.

Look forward to it.

Watercolors and pilot pen. Colored to the tunes of The Lord of the Rings.

8 1/2" x 11" glossy print available for $5.00 + shipping and tax (CA only) at the Eltsar Press Prints Gallery.
Enjoy.

I know who they are now! Evil little buggers >.<

Now the question is, why are they wandering around in broad daylight? People aren't supposed to know they exist.

It went like this:

Agent-Elrond: Okay guys, I'm going to paint you now.
Prophet 1: But, it's the middle of the day! We could be seen!
Agent-Elrond: You won't be seen, because I'm lazy and I can't be bothered to paint anyone else.
Prophet 2: But... But!
Agent-Elrond: No buts! I am going to paint you now, because I don't want the hassle of painting night scenes. M'kay?
Prophet 1 (grumbling): Oh fine.

Such bizarre masks.
Although, I suppose acting bizarre is the best way to hide in plain sight.

Well, in the story their base is in a secret alter-reality deep underground, so they're pretty well hidden usually.

Ah. Not rebels by night and common villagers by day then.
You probably don’t have to worry about a secret identity if you live in an alternate reality.

This? It's five bucks, but then there's also tax and shipping, so in the end it'll be more like eight dollars.

Very good...may i ask, was Bleach an influence? The robes and masks are very Bleach-esque

GoldeenHerself In reply to dynastygal [2006-04-05 23:50:36 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much.

As a matter of fact, I have never even read Bleach, so that would be a complete coincidence. I wanted something that was very iconic and spooky — hence the smiling mask with closed eyes. The robes were an afterthought, as each Prophet has their own costume, the only style they share are a few design motifs (the inverted wave is very popular) and a monochromatic pallet.

As to those masks, I did have some inspiration from an outside source. It's a movie currently out in theatres that features a very different character in a smiling white mask.

I'm scared of these scary prophet thingys. They are dressed in scary white!

Do I detect some "V" influence?

Tee hee — it'll be exciting indeed.

Not all of them are what they seem, and even what they seem can be questionable.

Oh wow, this is wicked. I love the background and the characters themselves are so mysterious! I love the masks they are wearing...they look so "empty", if that makes sense!

I must fav!

GoldeenHerself In reply to Yayster [2006-04-01 16:06:02 +0000 UTC]

Yeah.

I wanted something that looked haunting and blank, so you really have no clue who's behind them. They just stand there, and smile.

Thanks so much!
