Description
I finally got this done. It would have been done sooner, but my Dad went on vacation for two weeks this past Monday. So I've been darting back and forth between from my apartment in the east side of the city to his place in the south side of the city to feed his pets. If I leave around noon I don't get back until around 4 to 5:00 in the afternoon with the traffic on transit.Elly's imagination can get away from her sometimes. Fortunately, Ana's taste in... "food" is more in line to Hugin's.
If you follow sigeel or nebezial , you'll know what I'm talking about.

I nearly thought that was Bernie from Death Vigil for a moment!

There's a scary thought for Ana. Don't rightly know what Bernie would do to one of the living dead, even if Ana is benign.

Truth is stranger than fiction. And Elly's hyper-active imagination can get pretty strange.

All that is missing now is a pin up version

There are a few ways for me to do that. Some of them would be... different than what you might want.

I would be more worried of what Sigeel wants than me XD I mean, I could be all down for it, but she is not my character...

lol you shouldn't be worried about what i want XDD i tell my own story and i write what i want by doing just that.Β and if someone wants to make a spin off picture that is completely fine by me XD its their own imagination they wanted to put on paper, and if my character is in it i feel more than honored to be included in it. to me that means that i wrote a good character and is the highest praise i can get^^

Even if Elly's throat got ripped out? Not that I would do that, I like Elly too much. But Ana's face in the middle panel is a hint of how much she can transform (Despite being Elly's imagination, it's pretty damn close to reality). With chompers like those, the damage could be great.
That being an extreme example, of course. It could wind up looking something that belongs in Sunstone if I went the other way. Of course, there is always the middle ground.

lol that is a little extreme, yeah.
but what i meant to say is that i cant control what people do with my characters (nor should i). hell if a person drew her tied up on ally bed, i cat really go and point-- that is incredibly inaccurate! delete it NOW XDΒ
in the end the only canon version of elly is the one i write. everything else is fanart and fanfiction. and either way i enjoy seeing those^^
same is with your character, if i drew your character in a pink fluffy dress it does not make it cannon, your character is a vampire and is canon the way you originally imaginedΒ and planned it.
if she cant stand the sight of elly or gets her bloodlust and rips her throat it still shouldn't bother me (tho it would disturb me a bit, i wont lie XD), because while in your universe that might happen, in my universe that never happens.
i agree on the middle ground tho. sometimes its better to take a step back and instead of an initial instinct to take a deep breath and think if the character might grow better if they tried something different from what was originally planned.
i actually used a lot of that in my comic.
imagine if elly was constantly scared of everything XD that would get boring really fast and would lose its credibility and instead make her look just like an anime character instead of a real person, so on the contrary i decided she will try and adapt, no matter how hard things might get at times.

Actually, Ana would look surprisingly fetching in a pink dress. Β She might even consider it a fun to relive her human days as a member of the Russian aristocracy before THE THING happened. And she would never go bloodthirsty like an animal, let alone to Elly. She's more of a... demonitarian.
Good advice. I've got a basic plot written out, so I have an idea on how to present things when I feel comfortable with making a webcomic. But as I've discovered making this comic and the one I'm working on at the moment, I write dialogue much better when I'm putting it together with a picture. It does wind up different than what I had in my head.
Ana's brother Lex is going through such a character arc in the design stages. He's a recluse and stay away from human civilization because they keep treating him like a child since he was turned when he was 14. But because of REASONS, he starts to grow and realize he's still being a bit of a child himself.

heh yeah i jumped to conclusions, but you got what i meant 
on the second part: oh yes! that happens to me too. i have a certain plan in my head but then when i actually go down to writing a strip it turns out differently. not because i wanted it differently, but because characters decided to take a detour, or perhaps one of the characters decidedΒ he or she wants to say something that then completely turns the situation around. well it sometimes completely ruins the punchline i was going for but eh..its for the better anyway XD
the main plot is still there but the execution tends to be much different than what i imagined a times.
sometimes i imagine to put so many things in one strip and then i realize, i have to choose because one action led to a situation that completly nullifies the chances of another situation that i had in mind.
sometimes you just gotta choose or if you are lucky you get to save it for later if it manages to fit anywhere. XD wost thing that can happen is to force cram a situation if it no longer fits.
lol in my original planning chapter three would have already been on a half of the story (given that i had planned only 7 chapters previously), but somehow it expandedΒ (its counting at least 10 chapters now) because i felt the need i need to make a proper introduction and these first days will be very important contrast in character development later on.
sthe strip we are on now, was supposed to be originally at the very beginning of 2nd chapter XD
the Lex thing is a very good thing you have there. having characters stop for a moment to take a look at their own actions is brilliant and shows how much the character has grown.

Draw Ana in pink dress. Draw her in a green dress. Any dress. She'd treat it like she's a fashion model. She's over 110 years old but with the body of a 19 year old. She loves being able to flaunt it every once in awhile. That's why she stays active in cities. She can wear anything and blend in anywhere. The fact that she can speak any language with any accent helps with it too.
I know the feeling. When I started planning everything years ago, I was going off the rush from the Lord of the Rings and Matrix trilogies being fresh in pop culture. Now it's this epic that spans millennia and I have to keep it balanced. Some parts got cut and some were changed to make it work. Now that I have an idea on how to present it, I have to practice making comics before I even start to actually write it.
I wrote the Lex thing because of something weird. When I first came up with the basics for his character in college, the first question anybody asked was "How does he have sex?". I was... taken aback to say the least. Lex may be about 105 years old in mentality, but he still has the body of a 14 year old. I was, and still am, uncomfortable writing a romance for him. So I made him celibate because of it.Β
This further fleshed out his character in the end. Most humans see him as a child and treat him as such, which infuriates him. On the other hand, there are those who want to treat him like "an adult" and he is creeped out by THAT. Word of advice, don't try to molest the century old "werewolf". You'd get the same result by trying to get fresh with a badger.
If you want to know why Ana is a "vampire" and Lex is a "werewolf", that's something I'd rather discuss in a message or over Skype. Not comfortable just putting it out there.
