Description
Illustration for my manga "Chimera Seed";featuring Colin, the protagonist
The creepy mass on the floor is the Chimera-Virus that is infecting him. While it never appears exactly like this in the story, I wanted to depict it as threatening lifeform that can take bizarre shapes. And what looks more threatening than an organic mass with yellow fangs and eyes staring you down into the neverending abyss of your soul
Edit: Now with background.

I like and use of yellow and purple and the eyes as i presume
that they relate to the chimera name as well as been monstrous form
been a trademark to the virus' form

Thank you ^^
The actual form the Chimera-virus takes varies, but it's always based on insects or plants (spider, scorpion, rose, etc.) and always features those eyes and tissue-like structure.

That's cool and interesting, as I figured as most people would mix the chimera name with hybrid animals, although I find it also relates to the that of eye related themes

That's actually what it is in my case, too. I based the name for the virus on the biological/genetical definition of a Chimera - which is an organism that that contains cells from another organism. I.e. hybrids in a genetical sense.
The backstory is that the virus was designed, using DNA from various animals and plants, to combine desirable traits (like durability and regenerative abilities).

I appreciate the support, man
I'm still far away from any sort of international publishing, but I do my best to get something published in Germany and we'll see how it goes from there.
But regardless, I'm sure I'll have more smaller comics to upload in due time, too.

ich mag die komposition immer noch sehr gerne aber muss sagen mit schwarzem hintergrund gefällt es mir doch besser. wirkt einfach düsterer und bedrohlicher ^^

Dankeschön ^^
Ich hab auch überlegt, welche Version ich hochladen will - wenn ich jetzt die Hintergründe vergleiche, fehlt wirklich etwas ohne das schwarz.
Vielleicht werd ich bei der Mappensichtung auch dafür ausgelacht, aber ich will im Moment noch eben nichts so hochladen, wie es in der Bewerbung drin sein wird
