| My friend, Justin and I are planning this. We both did our fair share of artwork pertaining to this. Brief storyline: The year is 2252. WItches, werewolves, vampires and humans all live under the same sky. Though they fight for equality, the other non-human races are being persecuted and treated like animals by the now corrupt Government. Performing bizarre breeding experiments on the other races, the Government hopes to attain the most powerful form of all three inhuman races, and, eventually create their ultimate goal: the Chimera, a being with the genetic makeup of Humans, Werewolves, Vampires and Witches. With their most powerful creation realized, no force on earth would dare oppose the government. However, the 369, an organization of the 4 races banded together, think to change the Government's plans right quick.
The main focus is the battling taking place between the 369 and the Governemt, and a few other entanglements, mainly resulting in alliegance with the 369. The following pieces are conceptual drawings for our Internet webcomic (it will become a graphic novel if it takes off and becomes popular). I will state who they are, and with whom they are aligned with. Xeios Ballain. Vampire. Head of the Aren Vampire House; becomes aligned with the 369 after a fight. My concept Justin's concept Chaos. Vampire. Insane member of the Aren Vampire House. Split personally, and utterly and completely insane. My concept Justin's Concepts Justin's concept Dasso. Vampire. Genetically altered Vampire; incredibly strong and fast, and has the ability to consume souls. Justin's concept Lucretia LaMorte. Vampire. Lustful vampire who is the leader of the LaMorte Vampire Foundation. Despises the Arens for being weak and relying on the 369 for assistance. Justin's Concept Keira Faris. Witch. The head of the 369, and the elemental witch of the wind. Hides her emotions and is not very emotional at all. Cold and not very personable. Still, quite beautiful. My concept Justin's Concept Kevin "Wild Cat" Katsuyori. Human. Member of 369; all around good guy hero type. Gets engaged to Francine. Very friendly, but can be overbearing sometimes. My concept Justin's Concept Francine Ullric. Werewolf. Member of 369. Attacks and kills the corrupt leaader of her old pack, The Ullric Clan, and becomes the new alpha dog, so to speak. Tom-boyish, and strong, she loves Kevin very much. My concept Justin's concept Morrighan Delareese. Witch. Member of the 369. Escaped from the government, but not before her breeding experiment went underway. Because of it, she birthed a son, Dalit, who is, due to the genetics engineering, is the most powerful witch in the world, and he's only 5. She's rather pretty, and very Irish. Witch of Electricity. My concept Justin's concept Jack Eldridge. Witch, Member of 369. Elemental witch of Fire. Very kind, and the martyr of the team. He comes damn close to dying quite a bit. My concept Justin's concept Wes Kaltho. Werewolf. Last surviving member of the Kaltho Pack, he now works at the 369. Relies on guns to solve his problems, rather than transformation. Justin's Concept Christine Murdock. Human. Works for the 369. Partially insane when she gets a gun in her hands. Loves to blow stuff up. A lot. My concept My second concept Justin's concept Deux. Witch. Works for the 369 as a barrierist (makes barriers. duh). Not an incredibly major character, and she generally stays out of most fights. My concept with my stupid note for Xeogaming Forums attached; my scanner didn't pick up her tanned tones, so it didn't matter anyways. Justin's concept James Katsuyori. Kevin's father. Presumed dead, Kevin and his father reunited in a fire fight between the Government and the 369. Justin's concept I'll update this as more pictures get cranked out. ...I was actually debating with myself whether or not to show this off here, especially seeing all the art bashing lately  |

My mind. It is blown. Seriously, you two are really talented artists, and the finished product of all of this should be nothing short of amazing. I'll be eagerly awaiting this one  |

| Nice, all the art is good, but Justin's concept of francine.. well, you might want to darken the lines for her shorts and re-scan her. I did a double-take at that. | |||

Cruel Justice I have better things to do. Since: 11-18-05 From: At my house! Last post: 6313 days Last view: 6313 days |

| Honestly, I've seen better. As a reminder, don't leave the hashy lines in there. Another thing, a few characters are anatomically incorrect/uninteresting. Kevin for example, has a narrow torso; thus remains very unfitting for a brawny character. Speaking of these characters, there isn't any distinction between them. I cannot tell who's the main hero, villain, etc. Although, I could understand it a bit clearer if they were meant to be arbitrary and nameless. Your friend looks like he's putting a great deal of effort in quantity as they all appear simple and rushed. But still, at least your efforts are persistent and the progress from your teamwork is remarkable.
Bottom Line: Try to make the characters more different in appearence. Give them individual personalities, significantly different wardrobes, weapons, etc. Creativity: 4/10 Below Marginal Effort: 8/10 Great Economy: 10/10 Excellent Linework: 5/10 Average Verdict: 6.5/10 Needs work.

| Yea I kinda agree with Cruel Justice here. And Xeios looks too much like Millions Knives and a lot of the old dudes look like they're modeled after that one geezer chimera from FMA. | |||

| I don't really see Knives in there at all. Also, I don't really know who you mean by "old geezer chimera". Do you mean that guy with the upside-down head?
In a board filled with artists like Tarale, it's hard realizing that not all people draw anime. It seems to me that you were expecting an anime/manga art style, and seenig it as one. Justin's doing all the work, and he admittedly says that he doesn't do manga work at all. In fact, he prefers the American styling of animation, just to clear a few t hings up hopefully. Granted, the Ed rip-off (Christie) was cheap and not my intention at all. I will admit whole heartedly that the character designs are unimaginative. After coming up with about 20 characters, you start running low on ideas. I'll edit this later EDIT: I was running late for 5th period which is why I cut this post short. Anyways... I wouldn't mind hearing some of your suggestions. I am always open to new ideas, and I think your input would be much appreciated! (edited by Generic Holiday Username on 12-20-05 03:37 PM) |

| New concepts. Please comment, I like constructive criticism. Actually, this is my friend's work, but I can assure you, I'll forward your comments to him.
A new and improved Jack since people kinda complained a little about him. I edited the nose myself with a pencil, since the original nose was too wide. Kevin was also revamped, as I thought he looked too annoying and seemed like a lout in the previous concept Justin made. Xeios and Chaos have a new light as well. Xeios looks talller, and Chaos just looks bad-ass in my opinion. Francine is also looking more serious, as would fit her nature. Kevin's Mech has become a reality. We are going to incorporate it after all. |

| Not Xeios. I meant Chaos.
But after the revamps, there's no real problem there. It looks much better now. More individual characters who seem more fleshed out just by the drawings. Cool. I don't really like the mech, though. Looks like you ripped off macross destroids. If you wanna see all these awesome mecha from different anime,(especially gundam) go to MAHQ. I've been visiting that site for years. It's great to see other mecha designs before making your own. |

| I've never seen Macross I've never been really interested. Honestly, though; it's so had to make a compact mech that looks halfway original, it's getting really quite hard to make an original mech without it looking impractical. |
