My guild mates and I decided to have a go at playing on an RP-PVP server in World of Warcraft. We rolled characters on Ravenholdt. Since we're avid role players, we like to tell little stories with our characters.

We're trying a small project revolving around our guild Cabal. Using screenshots and something called model-viewer - a program that allows you to view and animate all models of the game against a blue screen - we're going to try making some short story comics to share our adventures and help promote RP on the server.

Doing all the panelling reminded me of how much I missed doing hand-drawn comics. The model-viewer comics were remarkably quick to create, and I like that a lot. When I would draw, ink, and color a page by hand, I would end up spending 3-6 hours on a single page. With the model-viewer warcraft comic, I can now be cheap and simply use pre-made models :-D. These pages clock in at about 20-30 minutes each. They're very fun as a guild side project, and the relatively instant gratification was nice.

But... not my own creation, and not my own art.

I need really need to pick up my personal comic project Butterfly again, get those character sheets nailed out, further refine the outline, and attempt to script out the first couple scenes to get a feel for the dialogue of each character. ...Of course, after I finish reformatting and updating NDA... get my business work finished... get Flight Rising off the ground... and make some new t-shirts for the store...

An icon I made for my wow buddy for his character. Kinda along the same lines as the one I did for Undel a few posts back. He plays an undead warrior. The character model has hair sticking up everywhere, but I was told he was supposed to be "hot for a dead guy"... so I ended up with something that looks like an undead David Bowie...


If you click it you can see the image at the full size of the file I worked on. It lets you see details... like the fact that the eyes are slightly crooked :-/
