WARNING: OLD ART!! The art and comments in this Deviation may no longer represent the artist's current views or interests.

1st page of a comic I never did finish, but I thought I'd leave the sketches up here. The story it was based on can be read here, for those curious:

Best Enemies
Best Enemies
    ~A Ryzom Story

It was a quiet day, and none of the Argo Navis had expected to see much action. It had rained earlier that morning, a fine drizzle wetting the parched earth, drawing forth a fine mist from the very Roots themselves to grace the woods of Matia. Dew clung to the grass and shimmered on the great tree houses of Yrkanis, glimmering like gems in the early light. On such a morning only Nuvad could have ridden off on patrol; even when the land lay as still and as calm as a glassy lake, the guild’s ever so vigilant leader had insisted on taking his mektoub out along his usual route to check for the presence of bandits, or worse: Kamists.
The rest of them had remained inside the Guild Hall: an elaborate Matisian building, complete with varnished walls and floor, covered in a natural carpet of moss. Luminous magic shimmered in their sconces alongside painted drapes and glittering insect wings, casting blue highlights across the Homin

Ah, I would but I'm still in high school and struggling to survive 12th grade in the IB (a mean b**ch of a study program ... ), and the Ryzom comics are really just a fantribute to a great game. I'm not sure the copyrights would agree with me if I went to some company and handed them in.

'Sides, they aint done yet!

oh trust me.. as long as you're only using it as portfolio pieces to be seen and critique'd and NOT sold.. it's perfectly ok.

That's why you cna use scripts and X-men or superman, Spiderman as art samples to show on art interviews.. it's ok to use them for the purpose of educational , and or review.. but if you intend on selling the art then thats a diffrent reason.
I just think you'd get some great feedback for showing your work around and they'll be able to give you an idea of your skill level for comics.

good luck with everything and keep 'em coming ! your art is great !

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind for the future, I guess, maybe when they're outlining and colored all purtylike.

Heheheh, thanks! I probably got EVERYTHING off in the first panel, but then I wanted to cram it all in for the sake of establishing the place, and those houses (not the hometrees, the other ones) are Matisian without a doubt sooooo ...

I can't remember? It won't install properly and even when it does, the site isn't allowing me to create an account. I remember you telling me you had to have your dad create a "Ryzom 2 " to get yours to work.

I'll make a journal on it when Ryzom comes back. Maybe they got rid of that funny bug, maybe not. In any case, the more players the better, so I'll put the how-to in a journal.

Wow.

That's f'in' sweet.

You know, if Ryzom DOES come back, you might have a spot on the website for Ryzom chronicles or something... This is definately worth buying in a comic format; IF you finish

You could also get someone else to colour it, if you feel like your over abundance of skill is not sufficient enough to apply colours to this magnifigant piece of art...

Lemme know when Ryzom's back - I might join you for a bit.

quartervirus-archive In reply to kiljax [2008-07-05 13:28:38 +0000 UTC]

Heheh, and so you should! Ryzom is worth tribute art, stories, and comics ... and most of my sleep. @_@ You wont regret it, in my opinion, but then I'm probably very biased, heheheh.

Thanks, and glad you like it!

Biased, you? No.

But I tell you one thing; you wouldn't like my characters.

quartervirus-archive In reply to kiljax [2008-07-08 07:50:50 +0000 UTC]

Why's that? I find that a lot of people have character concepts for Ryzom that they planned to stick out like a sore thumb, but once they start playing the look, history, ambience, and the community change all that. Take my sister: she wanted to play a bitch of a Zoraï but a few minutes in-game changed that.

kiljax In reply to quartervirus-archive [2008-07-08 13:03:20 +0000 UTC]

Oh no. Trust me. You'd hate anyone I made safe for a select few. I have a way with characters.

Either way, moot point until Ryzom is back...

And honestly, I hope it doesn't come back until you finish this comic!
