Script Bits #2 - First Meetings

Of when Steban and Martin met for the first time. Adorable.

I use Scrivener to write my scripts, if anyone's wondering! It's an awesome program.

The King and the Cub

This is Kalf, a young coyote who follows the Bull King around with burning enthusiasm! 

Kalf's personality is very contradicting to the King, who's very closed, private and even borderline insane. 

The cub lost both his parents, and adopted the King as a kind of father figure without his knowledge. Haha

He's No North's newest addition, and probably the first in quite a long time!

I woke up one morning with the name "Kalf" stuck in my head, and decided it was perfect...

Steban's always ruining Martin's carefully thought out plans in the most absurd manners.

Script Bits #1 - Consequences

Hey guys! 

I figured it would be cool to post little bits of No North's script for you! No spoilers, of course, only slightly haha.

Let me know what you think of them, I've never actually shown the writing to anyone besides my brother.

Updates!

Hey guys, how are you doing? =D 

I'd just like to keep you updated on a few things, and make a little announcement.

About Up and Ahead

 As some of you might already know, after not getting accepted by 5 publishing houses last year, I decided to go on my own way and become an independent artist/publisher, and try my luck by opening my own tiny publishing house, Editora Aventura, with only me working on it. All the paperwork is nearly done and I'm almost re...

No Coward

"But not being a coward doesn't make me brave, either"

The pup lowers his head, ashamed. 

"You don't have to be brave. You see, you can just pretend you are, and other dogs could never tell the difference. That's what I do."

Steban takes a piece of cloth and ties it up around Danny's neck, just like his own bandana. 

"Whenever you wear this bandana, you just pretend you're the hero, and do what you'd admire to see being done. It's easy like...

Cryboy

Testing out some expressions I'll be needing in the story, hehe. 

It's funny to draw Steban like that. I don't usually draw crying doggos, so I decided to give it a try and see how far I can push the emotion. Let me know what you think! <3

Knitting

 

Billy boy’s sensitive side, you guys! 

He does his best to hide his hobbies, but with sneaky-nosey Steban around, you can’t have much success. 

After some awesome comments from one of my patrons, Doggokittty, on some Billy drawings I posted, I thought it would be cool to share a little bit more about him and his life/past. 

His parents, small farmers, separated when he was only a small pup. He stayed with his mother, who couldn’t stand weakness of ...

Nakou

New character you guys haven't met yet! 

This is Nakou, a grey wolf. 

Now, a huge disclaimer. 

You'll notice he has a strong tribal design, but I'm staying as far away as possible from any Native American elements. This goes because the last thing I intend to do is offend anyone with my art (and if I did, it was because I thought, ignorantly, that I was praising a culture). 

So now the wolves in the world of No North are mostly influenced by South American...

Cangaceiro

Hey guys!!

I decided to draw my maned wolf Raoni again, you remember him? https://i.imgur.com/yCHyiEG.jpg

He’s dressed as a cangaceiro, as a little tribute to one of my all time favourite historical events: a movement called Cangaço, which happened in the northeast of Brazil during the 1840-1940’s. 

Cangaceiros were a group of “social bandits” who fought against the government. Both men ...

The Old Ghost of the Woods

"They say he dances with the gone when the fog rises high. At this point, no one knows if he's one of them himself."

"Careful not to choke on all that fear, Billy" Steban giggled at the shaking hound.

"That's not funny, you bone sack! That hermit is a damned spirit stuck between worlds, probably looking for more souls to feed his lantern. I'm telling you, we shouldn't be here!"
