I plan to get my webcomic hosted here eventually. I'm shooting for summer of this year, since I won't be able to get much work done on it during schooltime. :/ Anyways, its called
Tainted Eden. Without spoiling too much, its about a young woman, Lotos, who seeks a dryad rumored to live in the woods amongst her small mountain village of St. Aine.
Her best friend and her search the woods one day and stumble upon the dryad, only to have it turn feral on them and attack Lotos, injecting a mysterious seed into her hand. The seed is impossible to remove without killing the host, so Lotos is forced to live with it. Many events unfold shortly after, all of which are huge spoiler material...So, let's just say Lotos eventually realizes what the seed can do and how it can help her achieve a goal she's intent on completing.
My main focuses in the story will be setting a dense atmosphere with a great sense of place and world-building and the characters; their inner thoughts, dreams, goals, demons, etc. I already have planned out atleast 5 major arcs, though the story won't be overly long.
I get inspired by other comics, music, nature, and video games that focus on atmosphere and have interesting art styles (Zelda, Silent Hill, Super Mario Bros., and the older Resident Evils are primarily my vg influences).
I want to create and maintain something memorable and unique with lots of great moments, characters, and locations.
I believe scripting and having a good idea of what you want to draw several pages in advance is a great thing. I try to be flexible, though, and am constantly editing dialogue and making pages work better with a draft or two. I do thumbnails, but find doing a page once through roughly or semi-roughly can help me wrap my head around what I want to do with the page.
