So basically, this is a (heavily) rehashed version of an old comic idea I had. The old comic had a really stupid plot and was designed to make fun of all the cliches in 'spirited away' type stories. Especially in manga (ex, Inuyasha, Fushigi Yuugi, Magic Knight Rayearth, etc.). I was so deluded as to the quality of the story and my own ability that I actually submitted it to Tokyopop RSoM3. How embarrassing. *shudder*
More recently, I thought, "What if I took the form of that story, but made it serious?" Not completely lacking in comedy, but took the idea seriously and subverted some of those overdone cliche elements.
This is what I came up with, a story about a young woman who finds herself in another land without any prophecies, epic questing, or world-saving to do.
An old ditty I found in my diary, quite relevant ->
Anyway, it's a girl-is-transp
You know, mix it up, but keep it fantasy-drama. Serious drama, not omg-which-bish
*summer goal -- finish sketching chapter 1* FAIL
*july goal -- get to page 12 done* FAIL
*finish sketching chapter 1 before winter break ends!!*
DESIGN--
More or less caught up for chapter 1 purposes. I *should* finalize things, though. And figure out what sketchbook they're in... >.>
PAGES--
working on chap1, approaching scene 3
pilgrim_art - sketches and artwork!
pilgrim_chap0 - chapter 0 on elftown!
pilgrim_chap1a - chapter 1: first scene!
2008-04-01 [deeterhi]: this looks really interesting. i'm very curious to see how the story plays out and how serious you actually make it.
"I was so deluded as to the quality of the story and my own ability that I actually submitted it to Tokyopop RSoM3. How embarrassing. *shudder*" -eheheh. i know the feeling. i've sumbited work a couple of years ago to Image comics when i was in high school. and i got a very nice rejection letter, too. i'll be sumbitting more work to editors now that i'm almost done with college, and hopefully things will go better for me.
very cool concept, anyways.
2008-04-01 [DarKlawStudios]: The worst part was, I actually thought I would place and be in the book!! xDDD I was so full of myself back then, but I also got a pretty 'thanks for entering' certificate.
I think I've hit on a unique perspective, at the very least. I'm hoping it will be as interesting as I keep telling myself it is. :P
I'll just have to get to chapter 2 as quickly as I can, that's where exciting things start happening.
And I'm sure you'll be able to find something, your pages are wonderful! C:
2008-04-01 [deeterhi]: as long as you enjoy working on the project and you think it's interesting, that's all that matters :)
i like the idea because i keep thinking to myself: well, what is your main character going to do? she's been transported to this other world, but where does she go from there? (i'm not really asking. just thinking this). this mystery is very intriguing and i can't wait to see some pages:)
2008-04-01 [DarKlawStudios]: She may as well have a bulls-eye glued to her back, because she is just a magnet for trouble. >:3
I should have a page (maybe two!) all finished up this weekend. :)
2008-04-02 [deeterhi]: yay:)
2008-04-05 [deeterhi]: ooh first page :) lookin' good :)
2008-04-06 [DarKlawStudios]: Thanks :)
I've just got to add the tones to that one, and it will be done. Then I have another scanned in to be assembled, and two more sketched out to be inked. C:
2008-04-15 [DarKlawStudios]: Progress report!
covers for the first 4 chapters done, 3 comic pages waiting for tones, 2 more sketched, 1 with panels laid out.
chapter 0 (prelude sort of thing) is 8 pages long, I want to finish sketching it before finals, only 3 more to go.
2008-05-03 [Tsome-chan]: Yaaaaay I can't wait!! :3 I have it marked down on my calander so I remember to jump online ^^
2008-05-03 [DarKlawStudios]: I've got several pages ready that just need to be toned.
I'm thinking that I'll start out by updating one page a week until I figure out how much I get done in a week during summer. :)
2008-05-03 [Tsome-chan]: Awesome ^^ lol
2008-05-03 [DarKlawStudios]: I'd love to do a bi-weekly update schedule, but we'll see. =3
2008-05-05 [DarKlawStudios]: There. I've got 4 totally done, and another 3 just need to be lettered. Now I've got to start drawing pages again. :P
2008-05-08 [DarKlawStudios]: sketched 15 panels today, hope to do either a few more large or several small ones. now into chapter 1! :D
2008-07-06 [DarKlawStudios]: Arg, darn crash. >.< Anyway, put pilgrim_update on watch. I'll post there when a new page goes up on the smackjeeves site.
2008-07-06 [Zab]: Why not put that link on this wiki? :P
2008-07-07 [DarKlawStudios]: Because I'm lazy? lol, I'm working on moving all of the art to its own wiki too. :3
2008-07-07 [Zab]: heeh ok
2008-09-02 [DarKlawStudios]: pilgrim_chap1a is up now, 10 pages + cover. :)
2008-09-02 [Zab]: :D
