Character Design: Lydram

A sketch of Lydram, looking rather surprised here..

Here's the colored sketch (he looks even more surprised here~); shorter, brown hair, hazel eyes (or my attempt at hazel eyes), and floating lenses (my fault, of course, I always forget to draw the rest of them...).

Divergence

This post marks the hour we decided to go our separate ways with this project.

Our physical and mental separations have long made work on Creeping Shadow sluggish, when it happened at all, and we have finally come to the conclusion that our visions of this story are too different for any comfortable compromise. While we regret no longer working together, we will still be working, each of us on separate incarnations of CS, and we hope you enjoy whatever we come up with.

We will continue to post our individual progresses here.

Thank you for your support so far, and please support us each in future.

Creeping Shadow Forum

Good news: Alyssa, being the awesome person that she is, has made a Creeping Shadow forum!

Bad news: It isn't open for the public yet.

We'll let you see it soon(ish), though (probably)! Promise (maybe)!

New teaser!

And you thought we weren't doing anything!


Creeping Shadow is a developing webcomic following the relationships and politics of the royal family of Cylevia. The story begins with the arrival of a naïve princess, the fiancé of the Cylevian king. Yet as the family’s mysteries slowly unfold to her, she finds that she has tied herself to a darker fate than she expected.


How's that for something?

Some Sort of Progress.

Yes, yes. There has been some progress. No, there's no product, still, but changes are being made so that we can start working on the comic itself by the summer.... The plot has been changed a bit, not much, but certain aspects have been added, and taken away. Names have been changed... magic has been discussed. Now we need to work on the plot from head to toe. I've got the whole team, Stephi and Alyssa to help with that as well. Insight from other people is always good. And its great to have plenty of opinions going, more than two at least. Thing is, Alyssa and Stephi are here at SVA with me. I see them every day. I see Alyssa when I wake up in the morning. (she made dinner for the two of us tonight, it was great.) Nora is at Wells. And Wells is far from SVA.

We do not get to see each other much face to face, which means a bit of a lack of communication. But she's been online lately, which is good. Hopefully it stays that way... because as one can see, progress is being made because of it.... that is, when she responds to me. But yes. Hu-rah.

It's been a while since I last posted any artwork, so I will.

Logo!

Okay so I changed a few colors on this blog. Needed a bit of freshness. Well, not really.

The homework for my Visual Computing class was to design a logo. After a whole week of thinking of what to do, it dawned on me that Creeping Shadow could have a logo of sorts. So the heading of this blog was my homework. *shrug* I was having a bit of a problem with putting it up here, so in a last attempt, I had to change the background of the page to white. I think it looks nice. I also changed the font to match.

On the status of the comic itself, its still in hiatus, serious changes are being made for the better. We're back in the thought and planning stage, and it will probably be a few more months before there is solid script writing or comic drawing again.

Yay, logo~! We're all fancy-shmancy now. All we need now is, y'know, a product. Heh.

But yeah, Allegra basically said it all. The opening scene is in its third total re-write, and chances are the "thinking and drafting" stage won't turn into anything material until Allegra and I both have an excess of free time to spend on it. That is to say, this summer. So... four months to go! Look forward to it.

Time..

Creeping Shadow is on hiatus, if the fact is not apparent enough with the 3 months of inactivity. But there is planning going on in my head... a lot of issues need to be worked out. Conflicts... Communication... Hopefully things will be back on track soon. I can't say when, of course, but soon.

待ってくれ!
