Been a while, sorry! xD
I have something exciting to show you!
It's been too long (like 4 years?!) since I've made a true blue honest attempt at a good looking comic
I'm almost embarrassed to show these xD but man was I ambitious back in the day. I need to pick up this attitude again.
Anyway, all that aside, I decided I wanted a fun challenge.
1. I wanted to expand on Lich/Death Knight Koze who I was inspired by
Nevicar2. I wanted to write again. I like writing. I wish roleplaying didn't feel so awkward to me anymore. But since a lot of furries think roleplay = typefucking or that I wanna be their "mate", I've grown distant of the practice. Someday I hope I can do that again. =)
So in case you haven't noticed, these are my concepts for Koze's death knight form
first attempt. Did this while Joey was playing WoW I think, and I wanted to try something challenging (detailed armor). And I enjoyed painting this too
Did this one on a small (5.5"x8.5") sketchbook, working smaller I hard for me, but always enjoyable.
a WIP of coloring the above mentioned image.
My biggest source of inspiration
Uhhh, so yeah, all those formalities aside, I decided to put writing with art and trying out a transformation sequence. Now don't get me mixed up with the crowd that gets boners to seeing a man turn into a goldfish or something. I just find it absolutely fascinating depicting every step of the way. It's cool!
I spent a lot of today (when I wasn't playing WoW!) writing it out and taking to Kal and Tenza about my script and stuff.

This is mostly disjointed thoughts. A sketch if you will. But hopefully you guys can understand what my vision is about this.
I will update more when I have legible thumbnailed pages and flood you with some more concept art. PLEASE, PLEASE hold me up to this. I want to actually have this finished. I want to combine art, writing and WoW in one whole thing.
To do: (in this order, pref.)
Finish PROPERLY scripting
Design her weapon
Research screenshots of inspired locations (Ice Crown Citadel, Halls of Reflection, Mordor)
Get thumbnailed pages for critique.
As far as the finished image goes, I am not sure how to approach coloring it, and I'm sure I can cross that bridge when I get to it. But I do NOT want to paint this. I will probably do flats and minimal cel shading. With some painting/brushing for special effects. I can tell this is going to kill me xD but it will make me a better artist!
Please, feel free to voice your opinions. This isn't supposed to be completely canon with Koze or the warcraft universe, and in fact, supposed to be heavily inspired by it enough for both WoW fans and non-WoW fans to enjoy the simple/unoriginal story.
I hope to hear from a lot of you! I know my art entries haven't been that popular lately :'(
