Description

Cover for the very first chapter of my upcoming comic "Seeds of Hope". I expect to start uploading the first pages when I come back on holidays, this is sort of a promise that I really intend to do it.

I must say... I hate it, but couldn't do anything better. And at least, lettering by made it look a bit like a real cover and not like the fluffy stupid drawing it is.

Sigh.

Prologue: Surprise The moment Yllwenn saw Zevran running at her from the Keep, she knew everything was going to be all right. Nothing could scare her now that her beloved was with her. She missed him dearly. She showed him just as much at the very same night. And few next. But with Zevran, that goes without saying.

They planned to set on traveling as soon as the Keep was in relatively good shape. Though that seemed to take a while since most of the walls were damaged and courtyard was littered with mostly darkspawn corpses. Velanna's body was never found and Yllwenn had a feeling that the surly Dalish had run away. Justice... Well, Kristoff was cleanly behea <---> Page 1:

I think you give yourself way too little credit. I think it's a nice drawing and a nice cover ^^

SoniaCarreras In reply to ErasedCitizen2 [2011-08-28 20:39:01 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. But this is one of those pieces which doesn't look like I'd like it to look like.

(sorry for the delay - err... holidays...)

Its great.The thing that stuck out to me,was the curled knife.It seems strange. BTW if your wondering why ihavent uploaded anything,its because Icant find the chapter in the group.

SoniaCarreras In reply to BloodyHighClaw [2011-08-28 20:36:25 +0000 UTC]

Thanks!!! Eeer... the curled knife? It has its reasons to be strange, but lets say... I just suck at drawing knifes, anyway. But I didn't find a reference for what I had in mind... In a few pages you'll understand...

As soon as I come back home from my holidays (tomorrow, but today I'm using the hotel WiFi to try to finish answering comments) I'll update the group, I hope I'll answer your doubts there. Anyway, this is a completely different story from the one you're working on

This looks so cool. I'm hoping the cover is just for dramatic effect and that there will be some happy in this story? Especially round the ending part

More than you can imagine... But there would be no story without sad things, would it be?

A-Redheads-Ramblings In reply to SoniaCarreras [2011-08-14 17:25:39 +0000 UTC]

True but some stories seem to like sad for sads sake rather than for story devlopment

Nope it was merely a genralisation about a particular brand of fan fiction that's out there *cough* Twilight *cough* I have high hopes for your story

Well all I can say is that while I an traveling I'm having even more ideas for a sequel, which would explain why the Hero of Ferelden disappeared aftercDA2
