EC: Character practice 3: [link]

I may or may not move this to scraps.

Nothing too special. Just a series of inked character sketches for an Eternal Champions comic series that I wanna do in the future called "How to be a 17th Century Douchebag (Starring Xavier Pendragon)". I wanted to get more familiar with drawing the characters in the style I wanna illustrate the comic in so I did these.

I thought Slash was gonna be a total pain in the ass to draw but he ended up being one of the most fun (I loved giving him a somewhat sophisticated look). The title of biggest bitch to draw on this page goes to the Eternal Champion as dumb as that may sound. =~= My fav. sketches on this page have to be Slash, Trident, and RAX.

The Blade sketch actually has a funny story attached to it. While drawing and inking him, I was listening to "Poker Face" by Lady Gaga. Now I can't unsee Blade figure skating like Johnny Weir (The mental image is funny as hell to me. XD).

Well anyway, that's all for the main cast of the comic. However I DO plan on including the rest of the EC characters (Riptide, Dawson, Ramses III, Blast, Thanatos, etc.) in there as random cameos. I'll draw them out too, but I really wanna get started on the actual comic now. X,D

Blade, Slash, Trident, RAX, the Eternal Champion, and Raven are (c) SEGA of America

NOTE: If you wanna know what Trident's description is saying it's "Fish man who hates the Latin language." It's probably alittle broken since I'm nowhere near fluent in Latin. (Took me hours of research to figure out how to properly conjugate) XP

Oh now I PLAN to make a colored version of the entire cast once I finish drawing everyone.

I loved that little detail in the game books stating how Xavier gets a rise out of Trident by bellowing latin into his ear/fin/thingy. Shame we never saw him actually doing that (Or playing practical jokes like his bio stated he did). That's actually one of the many reasons I started this comic up! XD

Yeah, I love those gamebooks - the writer was nearly spot-on on how I thought the characters would be like. Pity there wasn't one about the CD version... Now that would be a whole level of awesome!!

Oh man THAT would have been interesting. I'd read that!

If I had the time (or the writing skill XP) I would love to rewrite those gamebooks as, like, a fanfic or something...Though i'd exclude the "supreme champion" or retool the self insert into a more believable character or something. XD I swear some of the insert's achievements were kinda...ridiculous. For instance, like how in the end of the second book (SPOILERS OH NOES), the Eternal champion wanted him/her to take its place after it retired? Excuse me but...WHAAAAAT? Why would he need to retire? HE'S THE ETERNAL CHAMPION!

...And now I suddenly have the mental image of Xavier and MidKnight debating over this issue like nerds. X,DDD

Solution: Visual Novel format. Make Your Own For Free. With Ren'Py. [link]

I'm using Ren'Py at the moment to create a VN for my Major Project - I've got a screencap of my WIP here: [link] If you've got a simple grasp of coding (they have a built-in Tutorial in the program and a whole directory of stuff for beginners) and make some character/bg art/illos (and get music from somewhere) then an Eternal Champions VN should be a blast to make!

Thought I'd throw that in; VNs were the first thing I thought of ages ago when I first read the gamebooks - thought they'd look awesome with a fresh coat of paint.

Yes, Raven. X3

Despite that CFtDS seriously hints that she and EC are soul mates (in a way), I haven't seen much fanart of that (actually none at all!) so I wanna exploit the pairing in my comic. XD

Seriously. The thought of the Eternal champion having a girlfriend makes me giggle uncontrollably!
