Description The Hummingbird and the Empress. A set with the Shepherd and the Hunter ( [link] ).










The mountain land, once thriving, is slowly dying away. From a tiny village at the furthest reaches of the kingdom, a girl named Hummingbird begins a journey to the Empress's city, determined to find out why.

I'm... actually really excited about this comic-idea, guys....

I'm a filmmaker- there are soo many screenplays you can write off this one picture, as well as parallels to warrior and Shepard!!!

Yutaan In reply to Drey777 [2012-06-27 21:13:07 +0000 UTC]

Yup, they're from the same story as the Shepherd and the Hunter, and hopefully I can get started on the comic fairly soon.

I plan to make it into a comic! I've finished the rough outline, so hopefully I can start scripting and thumbnailing pretty soon.

Ooh... nice and imposing design for the Empress there! There's a lot of suggestion of mystery in the way that hair falls forward, it's awesome!

When are you going to start making this comic-idea ;3;

Is it soon? I hope it's soon!

Yutaan In reply to Varethane [2012-05-22 21:14:31 +0000 UTC]

I... am not sure yet. I hope to get started relatively soon, like over the summer - but I want to get everything properly scripted first, or at least have a very solid plan for the story, if not a finalized script.

I might actually fling some ideas at you...? Because you're my Comics Lady of Light...? And the story is turning out to be largely allegorical, so I need to know if it makes sense......? If that's okay...........? iloveyouaugh

I would read that comic even if the story was bad, just for the art. Not that the story sounds bad.

O.K., please to be sharing the link to this marvelous comic so I can read it and ogle the pretty art and then make fan art of the comic, because these designs are pretty ace. /IGNORES THE -IDEA PART BD

I like that Hummingbird has a teensy halo. It adds to her overall cuteness somehow, haha.

Hummingbird is fun to draw, though I haven't quite gotten comfortable drawing her moving about yet (it's her round rock-cloak, I can't figure out what sorts of shapes it wants to settle into, mrghsmph). But I'm glad you think she's cute!

cerine In reply to Yutaan [2012-05-30 05:59:13 +0000 UTC]

BUH, I keep meaning to reply to this but I just giggle and then get distracted by things like ink. I'm rubbish with commenting on time. You should really draw Hummingbird more, though, and shows us the lovely results (so I might then take idle time to draw the cute dear)!

A rock cloak? Like, for camouflage? That's such an interesting idea. o:

Yutaan In reply to cerine [2012-05-30 15:25:03 +0000 UTC]

I've got a larger piece with her and Empress in my lineup, so hopefully that'll get posted soon!

And yup, the gray cloak can be used for camouflage. She uses it to hide from the Hunter.

Oh, awesome! I can't wait to see it when you finish and post.

My brain keeps making questions, so I can only give you really big, bright eyes in hopes you find the time to make a comic or some type of illustrated story with this. ; w;

I'm hoping to get it scripted soon, and maybe start sometime in the summer...? I'll have to see how things go, time-wise, though. But I'm very much looking forward to drawing it.

Do those two have the same symbol behind their heads? Except Hummingbird's is really tiny? :3

Yutaan In reply to AmuletStar [2012-05-20 22:30:33 +0000 UTC]

I-I'm glad you're excited! We'll have to see if this idea even gets off the ground, but for now, I'm having fun working out what the story could be. (The Hunter is turning out to be a surprising dude.)

They do have the same design behind them! I might redesign it, or give them different ones, or give EVERYBODY different ones - not quite sure, yet. We'll see.

AmuletStar In reply to Yutaan [2012-05-20 22:47:41 +0000 UTC]

^__^ Ahhh, I really hope it does!! It'll just be so beautiful to see all of these characters in action. There's just something about seeing still designs start to move in a manga comic...obvious not as much as they'd move if they were animated, but it's still amazing how much life that pours into them.

Yay, I noticed a detail! ^^ Sounds interesting~ Is there a particular significance behind them? (:

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Yutaan In reply to AmuletStar [2012-05-21 00:22:31 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I do love comics. They're such a wonderful marriage of literary storytelling and pure visual art.

About the halo-designs I'm not sure yet! I wasn't planning on creating a story around the characters while I was designing them, so the halo-things didn't really have any special significance to them. As I refine/finalize the designs, stuff gets tweaked, so the halos might stay in or out, or the patterns might change, etc, depending on how the story shapes up.

Ahh, I'm not sure that was clear....

AmuletStar In reply to Yutaan [2012-05-24 20:28:56 +0000 UTC]

They really are. I'm finally going to try and work on my own now. XD

Ahhh, I understand. I wondered if there was some deep significance behind them or not...They're wonderful without the significance anyway, but it would be awesome if they did. XD Not even necessarily a really plot-centric significance, just a cool little detail. (: Either way, the designs are completely awesome~ ^^

it was very clear, thank you. XD *unless I just completely misunderstood everything you said* XD
