Ancients' spaceships: Mothergardens v.2

New type of the Ancients' spaceships - Mothergardens! :D

One more thanks to Emma for such cool idea to combine mothership and garden into one whole <3

From these sketches I like 1, 4 and 5, and maybe something about 2. 

Also, as you may already guess, 4 and 5 are inspired a bit by ants (okay, not a bit, because I really love my ants and their bodies). And what are you think about those forms?

Ancients' spaceships v.1

So here is some sketches that I came up with today.

I think my favorite are 1, 2 and 10, also I like something about 5th and an idea of some mother ship like the one shown on an 8th sketch (but bigger and much more attractive than the 8th). 

Need to make more sketches...

Ancients: sketches/illustrations

And finally I woke up after two-day sleeping mode.

Still it's pain to eat something properly, but (at least) I'm alive and can continue to make drawings!

Thanks all for your patience! <3

Today I came up with some open areas and motherships. The last ones still in a stage of research, so stay still, more of them are coming soon~

Some news

Got my brackets just today /hooray/. 

Tomorrow I'll visit my dentist one more time and till summer I'll be free (I hope).

Also more arts coming this week, and next week I'll continue the comic (I know it's been a while, I'm sorry).

Ancients: sketches/illustrations

Not related to the comic's events, but related to the Ancients as race at all.

I was thinking of making worlds alive. I mean, really alive. I have spectacular stories about great wars and battles, about destroyed and risen planets/worlds, about friends and foes, but I almost have no 'simple' characters nor 'minor' deeds. All of them are so grandiose that there is no place for less important things, but those things are foundation for something bigger, and now I need to re-create this base, so ...

Sivalaary: sketches

The comic getting harder to think of, so here is some sketches of sivalaary (in the name of practice!) to relax a bit.

Nonetheless I know what I want to see on the next pages, but now I need to figure it out how to make it properly... /also language barrier still bothers me х_х/

And it's been almost a week... again. Still! Molds are ready and my torturer, I mean, my dentist will equip my teeth with brackets next week! :'D

The last chance: comic (p.17)

Sorry for quite a silence! It's been a busy week, but I have some good news to tell! :D

First: next week I'll go to a dentist to make a mold for future bracket system! Really it was the matter of time to make this decision, but now I'm totally ready to bring my jaw to its proper place. 

Second: from yesterday I have my own hive of ants! For now, there is only 19 units including her royal highness - the Queen. Yet she already laid about 7 new eggs after her tough trip by mail in a ha...

In my head it was much... eh, never mind %)

...and I definitely need to draw more backgrounds because I have a huge gap in that kind of skill x_x

And one more page is finished!

I hope that you like it as far because pre-sketches for the 16th and 17th pages are ready as well! :'D

To be continued~

The last chance: comic (p.14)

One more page is finished!

A lot of text and, probably, mistakes...

View Post

The last chance: comic (p.13)

More pain... but not because of picture, but because of narrative.

P.S.: I was making two pages (13-14) at the same time and I was struggling a lot about its order and a text part...  (RIP my perfect English)

The last chance: comic (p.12)

Most painful page, ever.

Nonetheless the 12th page is ready, and I hope that you like it!

Khaola: concept art

I made it before the 8th page, and it's just about the time when I can show it to you! :D

Also I think that in future I'll make a few more types of her cloth/armor.

And as you may find, Khaola is a part of N'taar's past (not in a romantic sense), and he... nope-nope-nope, I need to stop or I'll spoil everything! x'D 

Sorry!

Nope, I'm not saying anything. 

Psst, just look at those helmets and compare them to...

Finally! The tenth page is ready! :D

The last chance: cover

YAY! I made my first cover!

I'm so excited to continue the story, so I thought that it MUST have the proper cover, and here it is! <3

Hope you enjoy!

Any guesses what are these cargoes?

Spaceship!

I know what I was needed! x'D

Not a 100%, but as reference it will be helpful.

The last chance: comic (p.6)

Experiments, experiments... I believe this is my first page with the dark background ever (hmm, and the first one with open space...?).

Na-na-na... sometimes I think that I'm a crazy one.

P.S.: Don't even ask why, because I don't know, too. Or maybe It's  just night, and I post not good (at my opinion) page.

P.P.S.: What a disappointment...

P.P.P.S.: I need some rest.

The last chance: comic (p.5)

Yep, no more handwritten texts (besides the original frames were too large and just awful at all, soo... x'D).

The last chance: comic (p.4)

Truly I don't know what to type under pages, and foremost because I don't want to spoil anything in some way x')

Still I hope that you find it interesting!

P.S.: more coming soon~

The last chance: comic (p.2)

And here is the second one.

Spaceship interior design still may vary (as any other props)... So this is "sketch" in all meanings.

View Post

The last chance: comic (p.1)

Yes, this is not a "final" page, but a colorized sketch of A6 size. 

Nonetheless I want to show you part of N'taar's story (or, at least, something more-or-less close to that, I hope).

Second page will come soon, and I feel that I really need more practice.

Just, much more.

There is a question...

... who is Idols' Creators?

By story itself they are some mysterious race, that didn't left nothing after themselves, but Idols - almost a god-like synthetic machines.

About sketch - no, I don't think that they are like humanoids. It's more like imagining unknown, - when you heard something, but didn't saw.

And still there is one more race, race of Grirdasses. They are the first born original race of our whole Universe, and, at the same time, the most bigger threat to all li...

Assault Idols (v.1-v.2)

Lately I've been thinking about other types of Idols (idols of support you can find by tag "idol" at the bottom of this post), and I also thought that assault ones is the best choice to begin with. Foremost because they're small and can have different equipment, depending on the combat formation and their role within it.

Also a few weeks ago I have been asked about Idols, and I think that I should show it here as well.

Here it is:
