Description Next:



It begins... The nuzlocke adventure...

After quite a while of working; first page = done...

I'm so satisfied.

My Oath to You is a comic dedicated to the Soulsilver Nuzlocke run I've completed. If you don't know what a nuzlocke is, FEAR NOT! I'll have rules out soon, as well as a cover page! ^^

If you can't wait that long, however, here's a link for more information:
www.nuzlocke.com/challenge.php

*Edit*.
Because so many people like it, I'm gonna skip the time it'd take to make a ruleset and just post them here.
Here's the rules:
1: If it faints, it's perma-dead and will be boxed.
2: First Pokemon on every route must be caught (Dupes clause in effect. If I encountered a Pokemon I've caught before, I can skip over it once. But I must catch the next one I see.)
3: All Pokemon must be nicknamed.
4: Starter dies: game over.
5: White out: game over.

I'm attempting this challenge for the sole purpose of improving my storytelling and artistic abilities, as well as (hopefully) to entertain anybody that finds it so along the way. And I hope to have a great journey doing it.

Textures in the backgrounds were provided by:

Special thanks to
DrawWithJazza

for FANTASTIC art tutorials.

And quite a few Nuzlockers whose comics I adore for inspiration. I'll post that later.

Enjoy!

*edit*
Rose, the Cyndaquil, is female.
Judith, the Chikorita, is female.
Baldur, the Totodile, is male.
Alvis, the Treecko, is male.
Hope that helps. :3

Wait....If their different pokemon then how are they siblings? And why do they already have names? No offense. just wondering.

Rasarak In reply to Mewisadorable [2016-06-24 23:57:20 +0000 UTC]

1: Because family can be more than by blood.
2: It can be assumed that those who run the Starter Program already gave them names. But I haven't gone into that yet.

No. I totally get it. Snivy has that stereotype.
He was called Smugleaf at one point. xP

enjoy the tone and unique set up. the use of font coloring to distinguish the speaker allows for a lot more bubble location freedom too. some of your texture uses feel a bit out of place in the style, but for the most part they really add to the scene and have nice edits to keep them from standing out too much or being too complex. the grass texture in particular is well utilized. your shades really add a lot to the scenes and help show off your variation of panel perspectives nicely.

Rasarak In reply to OddPenguin [2015-02-24 23:30:23 +0000 UTC]

Thanks a lot! I really appreciate the in-depth criticism!

I look back on the overuse of textures here with a little cringe. But it's a learning process, so eh.

no problem, glad to hear.


oh yeah, happens with every artists earlier work, key to not go back and nit pick or redo it though lest you get stuck in a circle of earlier page redos as opposed to progression. not being satisfied with it shows improvement and that's great

I'm gonna guess that you chose Cyndaquil (it was a girlwhen you picked her) and your rival stole Totodile (since the rivals pokemon is always male)

Anyway, this is very well done! (Makes me wish I could draw comics without getting pissed and throwing things after two pages) xD

This.... was beautiful. A beautiful start. This unique family bond relationship between these starters has pulled me into your story immediately. I enjoyed figuring out the unique characters and quirks of these three guys and their relationships with each other... and that oath towards the end was one poignant moment that left me wondering a bunch bout what the future has in store for them. Will they manage to overcome all difficulty and strengthen this bond? Will the unspeakable happen and someone ends up hurting someone else? Knowing this is a Nuzlocke, this could even.... ohhhh boy, this is exciting! w @

Aheheh... it's strange, I seem to get this a lot from people every time I find something I really really like. =β€’wβ€’=Β 
Finding things I really really like makes me want to comment a lot more than the usual quota of commenting I do, idunnoΒ  Β 

And welp, don't expect this to change much either if you'll keep on posting art like this, let alone do this artistic growth and improval thing that artists tend to do....
...oh yes.... there will be comments.Β  Β
