Curse

Riplox · May 15, 2006, 10:34 PM // 22:34

I am no longer accepting any new character submissions. I have enough, thank you.

I'm working on my first web comic and I'm in need of characters to populate the story. It's based loosely on the GW Prophecies world, is in anime/manga style (since it's quickest for me to do), and will be mostly black and white. I need you to submit your best characters. They need to have these things to qualify for being in it:

Name: Nothing like X Killa War X, Chaos Zealot, or Derek Deathblade, but something more normal for a name. For example, my own three characters I'm using are Kessa Valarion (Main Character

), Serra Amastacia, and Eva Delecroix.

Age & Height: -

Armor: You favorite set of armor for your character (This WILL be changed some from the original)

Temperment and Attitude: Self explanatory

Quick History: Along with where and how the person grew up, I need something to explain why the person is the way they are, expanding on the Temperment and Attitude portion.

Portrait Screenshot: I need a large bust shot of your character (face and shoulders similar to my avatar). DO NOT just take a close-up screen from in game and post it. I dont want large images on this thread. Crop it with paint if you have to, but don't post full screens.

Thank you all in advance. I will pick the ones I find best suits my comic and I should PM you if I have chosen yours.

I'll give it a go..

Name: Ashton Evelgest

Age & Height: 27, 6" 1'

Armor: 15k Ascalon Helm (Dyed White), 15k Gladiator's (Dyed Blue, Boots <-White)

Temperment and Attitude: a calm, chill yet somewhat stern character who can't stand the incompetence of other party members. He tries to set a good example for younger warriors.

Quick History: Born into the prestigious Evelgest family, Ashton was carefree, energetic, and lively as a child yet when his father, the ruler of the state, was murdered by a distant relative and the throne usurped, Ashton and his siblings (Alana, Rina, Reno) were exiled from their homeland. The four struggled to survive until they met Sensei Noriyasu, a traveling monk, who understood their situation and their desire to seek revenge. Ashton learned the ways of the warrior from the monk, and the group journeyed to Ascalon, where they began to seek the aid of others. Before the group could leave, they were caught under the fire of the Charr invasion. Displaying his ability as a leader, Ashton led his forces to victory after victory until the nefarious Charr sieged and destroyed Ascalon. Separated from the rest of the group during the searing, Ashton constantly battles in hopes of one day finding his family…

Quick History: Urth grew up in Shing Jea Monastary after being abandoned by his parents. He studied heavily in the area of divine prayers amongst that of healing and protection to enhance their potential. Urth grew curious of the outside world wondering around the lands of Cantha for weeks at a time without word to th monastary. Always returning to the place he called home. Of course Master Togo would some times be disgruntled by this behaviour. More because Urth never told anyone where he wondered to. However, he grew more empathetic and confident in his decisions as he grew into a young man. Urth later traveled to Tyria to see his old friend Mhenlo at Serenity Temple but also to fulfill his unsatisfiable hunger for exploration of different places.

Oh wow. Thank you all for the responses. I wan't looking for too many people, so I think I need to ask that nobody else post. I think this is enough. Thank you all and from what I've read, everything is great, including your names.

It may be a while before I get to putting you in the story. I have to figure out where you'll fall in the whole scheme of things, but you will be in it. I'll be starting work soon and I have other obligations, but I'll try to work on the comic as much as possible. I'll post when I get the first few pages up.

IceWarrior98 · May 21, 2006, 11:04 PM // 23:04

Your welcome, I cant wait till your first issue. Good luck with it and try not to make us wait to long

Riplox · May 28, 2006, 04:50 PM // 16:50

Ok, I have most of the cover worked out in pencil and ink and I should have it scanned and completed in b&w by Monday. Just so you all know, as I stated before, I will be changing the look of the armor and weapon(s) your characters use. Some may be minor changes, and some, like the secondary character on my cover, may be totally revamped. Don't worry though, I won't make your character look bad. One reason im doing this is because of the ease of drawing issue. If your character is complex to draw, he/she won't be drawn as much as I'll be dreading all the detail, although I did get kind of over-zealous with secondary characters armor. (It's not difficult to draw, thank god

)

Also, I don't like to skimp on quality. If I don't like the way something looks, I change it or scrap it and start over. So some pages may take longer than others.

He's not taking anymore.

Riplox · May 29, 2006, 02:28 AM // 02:28

The cover is complete, well, sort of. It's only in b&w right now but I thought everyone ought to see it anyway. I didn't include either of the two character's shields cause it would have crowded the pic. Each character was drawn separately and merged using photoshop. I don't have a tablet, so I'll be doing all the coloring and shading with a mouse (as with all further pages). Enjoy!

Hidden in the Mist · May 29, 2006, 06:12 AM // 06:12

I just realized both, My warrior and your's are the same in apperance besides height so you might want to add some differences between the two.

The cover page looks pretty good so far.

anubis_master · May 29, 2006, 05:31 PM // 17:31

looks good so far rip

Selerious · May 30, 2006, 01:33 AM // 01:33

looks great. the others will look as good, I'm sure.

anubis_master · May 30, 2006, 09:01 PM // 21:01

so what characters are you going to use in comic?
Edit: you should make your own website for these. then ask for donations (people do donate lots)

Shadowfox1125 · May 30, 2006, 09:52 PM // 21:52

Riplox told me that everyone who posted before the cutoff will be at one point included in the comic. But it depends if Riplox can integrate the characters into the plotline.. <--which is pretty good, I might add.

Riplox · May 30, 2006, 10:15 PM // 22:15

I'll have my own web site once I get a few pages out. I have to figure out a good way for it to start still o_O

Yes, all the characters before the "cutoff" as it's now called will be implemented in some way. I'll try to give each of you some decent page time.

Also, thanks so much for the compliments and interest in this project. I'm really looking forward to this whole deal.
