A couple of notes about this page.  Admittingly this is not one of my best pages.  I was in a rush to get this done by today and I phoned in a lot of parts.  The biggest law defying part of nature [from aside of the typos and unreadable font] is definitely Gillian’s right boob, which I apologize for haha.  I had only noticed how off it looked as I begun shading and I admittingly said ‘fck that’ and kept it because I was on a deadline.  I’ve been mismanaging my time lately, what with getting accustomed to school and such [my senior design class is killin’ me].  However I’m currently more focused on quantity of quality at the moment because I’m training myself continuously to have a mindset of not letting things go under the rug.  I’m hoping it’ll teach me to manage my time better and the like.

All that being said, that concludes the prologue to the Black Carnival! Next week we’ll start the real show [or at least the cover page to the real show haha.]

At some point, I may transition from Photoshop to Manga Studio for my comic making.  I’m getting bogged down quite a bit with formatting and the like and I’ve heard Manga Studio can rapidly optimize what I’m aiming for.  Of course I have to learn Manga Studio, so it’ll take some time first to do so.  I’m telling you this because [while I hope it doesn’t happen] there might be a break sooner or later where I test do a page in Manga Studio.  Anywho, just some general news.

Thanks for reading everyone, feel free to point out all the continuity mistakes and typos below!  Or if you have any real questions or concerns, feel free to throw those in as well!

Of all the supports in the game, Lulu is by far my favorite.  She’s the second support I picked up, second to Nami, and I have since then preferred to play Lulu over just about anyone else when I get thrown into bottom lane.  The range of utility in her kit + the greatest skin ever created [because poro] has resulted in enough passion to draw this piece of fan art!

Cassidy

2013-12-30 15:27

Cassidy is a character from the Black Carnival series.

Cassidy is a mechanic and ride designer.  She is a part time head of Atlasland, the amusement park in the Black Carnival.   Atlasland is divided into two sections, rides and games.  Cassidy is in charge of the rides section, while her twin sister Cameron is in charge of the games section.  The two have an ‘unrivaled rivalry’ that nearly tore down Atlasland as a whole.  On the dying wish of Atlasland’s previous head, Atlas, he wished the two sisters could get along and make Atlasland the section with the most traffic.  The two sisters compromised and now take turns each year being a singular head throughout the year.  Their rivalry has forced them to create a better amusement park and has only done Atlasland good.  Cassidy has always had the engineering mind, able to bring Cameron’s wondrous and creative ideas to life.

Though the two loathe the other, they both realize how much they need each other in memoriam of their former boss Atlas.

The Black Carnival Page 1: The Devil’s Breath

I’ve come a long way from art profiles, and seeing something I’m very passionate come to life like this is fairly incredible.  The start has been bumpy and I know the art isn’t as driving as some of my previous stuff but as I keep doing these, I know I’m getting faster and more efficient.  Being faster and efficient means there is time to try different techniques to improve quality.

In terms of writing and progress, I’m hoping to maintain the weekly schedule.  I aleady have rough sketches of the next two pages, and I have to ink, color, shade, and add text to them.  I’ve also  got at least the next 12 or so pages somewhat scripted out.  In terms of the big story, I have most of that on paper at least, so I’m in no shortage of material, but time constraints may occur.  Please bear with me if hiatuses occur, I’ll do my best to share my story.

Anyways, enjoy the story!

Black Carnival: Cover

black carnival page cover

This panel marks the beginning of an ongoing comic series that centers around that original series I keep barking mad about.  This post also marks the opening of the Black Carnival Page located at the top of this blog.  This page will be your home center for all things Black Carnival, including character summaries, panels, concept art, and more.  In addition to the concept art I’ve been releasing over the past week or so, I’m hoping this comic is a weekly series, which will release one page a week of the story I have lined up.  Of course, this an experimental process, and I can’t promise things when school begins to get out of hand [which I know it will].  Below is a broad summary of the series.

Gillian Akers lived an average and normal life as a security guard for an office.  When the mysterious death of her mother triggers a binding will to visit the place where her mother was raised, Gillian takes an adventure to the Black Carnival.  This carnival is a place of strange creatures only thought to be fictional, but she finds quickly that the dangers are surely real.  Gillian finds herself in between years of conflict, racism, and dirty ambition as she unravels the mysteries of the Black Carnival and her mother’s death.

Monsieur Von’Bruelstik

VonBruelstik

Monsieur Von’Bruelstik is a character from the Black Carnival series.

Monsieur Von’Bruelstik is a necromancer.  He is the head of the The Styx, an undead playground dedicated to exploiting the needs of thrill seekers and horror enthusiasts.  Normally with a smile on his face, he runs his section of the carnival with an easygoing, but commanding attitude.  His responsibilities include maintaining control of some of the more ‘darker’ aspects of his workers and is most knowledgeable in dark magics and spell-theory, assisting in manners that concern those sorts of things.  Most of his power comes from the gem in his staff, of which only he and his wife Nava, know how to operate.  Together they watch over the Styx from their base, ‘The Yard’, the largest graveyard in the carnival.

Monsieur Von’Bruelstik’s loose attitude make him friendly to get to know and converse with.  That being said, he has more than earned the respect of his peers out of fear of what he can become and what he can do when he is crossed.

valora3

Mistress Valora is a character from the Black Carnival series.

Valora is half Harpy-half Siren.  The Siren half of her makes her gorgeous and elegant, while the Harpy half of her makes her vicious and unforgiving.  She is the Head of Customer Services and Satisfaction of the Black Carnival, which includes the Carnival entrance.  Her responsibilities include keeping the customers happy and ensuring they’re properly acclimated for the sights they are soon to see.  In the darker shade of her job, she is in charge of ‘correction’ and ‘rehabilitation’ of rowdy customers and disturbers of the peace.  Valora runs majority of her operations from the Carnival brothel that she owns, The Howling Siren.  From there she commands a lethal flock of Harpies, Sirens, and Succubi.  She runs the brothel with her reanimated deceased sister, Delilah, and her head of security, Marraine.

Valora will go to great lengths to find the people who cross her.  She is a mother eagle, who watches her nest with lethal intention.

If you’ve been visiting the blog lately, I’ve posted a number of pictures I’ve drawn all relating to original characters I created for a series I’ve titled The Black Carnival.  The Black Carnival is a series I’ve created and is a story about a carnival whose employees, acts, and managers are mythical creatures and beings, masquerading to blend in society.  I’ve created some character concepts of the main characters.  The descriptions I’ve included in the times I’ve posted these images have been vague, because I’ve recently been trying to get the outline and manuscript in order.

Above we have the lead of our story, Gillian Eliza Reily Akers.  Gillian, pronounced Gilly-an, is a timid and educated girl, who excelled at combative sports and fencing.  Gillian grew up a normal life  with her overprotective and conservative father and her wild and spontaneous mother.  She’s a spitting image of her father in both personality and appearance and often questions if she inherited anything from her extraverted and perplexing mother.  When tragedy strikes Gillian, she learns more about secrets her mother hid from her, which leads Gillian on an adventure to the Black Carnival where her mother’s mysterious legacy changes her life forever.

It’s at the Black Carnival where she meets a number of new friends and enemies, some of which I’ve listed below!
