Humanization.com project 17/2/15 update

after a two week hiatus continuing the inking of the pages for my Humanisation.com graphic novel 
Story Synopsis

1000 years ago earth is wiped out by war of neutral bombs. At this time the Internet, as we know it was been updated and had began to think independently. Now 1000 years later the Internet has transformed in to a virtual reality where severs websites and programs of all kinds have become living breathing beings connecting together to from a thriving metropolis. Our two main protagonists CADRA the normal farm girl working in the code fields and Mutt her pet dragon suddenly embark on an epic quest to find the code that could bring down the controlling powers of the big bosses Google Apple and many others but what is this mysterious code you say? :P
This project is a collaboration between me and my father who is writing the script for the whole series.

Issue one is going to be ready by the end of march so you will actually be able to read the story. 

And this page is the introduction of the severs who run the internet examples showing Google Microsoft, Twitter, Facebook, Steam.
Until next deviation LATERS :peace:

 I do not draw anything manga style that often mostly because it seems like everyone does it. But I would like to continue dabbing in the varied styles of the genre and find my own visual interpretation of it maybe not so much the style but context of the illustrations. Manga is one of those areas of art that I have grown fondly of since watching a lot of anime last year.

Trying out different colour experiments based on the types of anime art i have seen online. 


I gave the girl a hammer just so had something a little more visually interesting to work with. And the face in the background was going to another character sketch but I left it in.  

 

  

Other sketches 

Until next post LATERS :)

I occasionally play GTA 5] and every time I go back i find myself intrigue by the aesthetics of the world. How Los Santos differs from the countryside. How L.A landmarks and buildings are recreated to fit in to the city layout. How far you an see from the beach towards the Rockford Hills. the scale and detail is just so impressive :wow:. I have sent more then 2 hours of my game time just wondering around exploring rather then causing any chaos.  :)

Recently I came across an article talking about GTA 6’s possible locations these included Paris, London (which is confirmed by Rockstar that it will not appear in the franchise again), Hong Kong, Cairo and of course Tokyo.

All these places that I mentioned got my imagination stirring. But no surprise Tokyo was the one that gave me the inspiration :meow: and challenge to design a rather sketchy open world map of the said city. I tried to in vision how the in-game world would look like and used this as a starting point for shirking Tokyo to fit in to a sizeable open world space. then I took in to account well known and less known landmarks, parks and the diverse environments you would get in a metropolitan area.

I will point out that I am by no means an expert or know much about Tokyo or Japan :doh: (I want to change that). but after sketching this map I can at least say I feel more educated on how Tokyo functions at the size it is.

My hope is in the future that we will get a game set in a modern day Japanese city not necessary like GTA (Rockstar see it as an American franchise) and not even to the scale my map is. I have faith in developers that there will be more open world games that will be set in places that hardly ever get explored or shown.

Now for Something Completely Different 4/2/15

For the last few days i have had the inspiration to create traditional illustrations that reflect the juxtaposing of two different countries to crate one massive metropolis.

In this case its  the UK and Japan.

I used some obvious tropes to represent both nations examples being the old pub for the UK and the narrow streets for Japan. 

Until next post Laters :)

Don't worry this is not being lazy with inking its supposed to become more faded as you go down the page.

Random character doodles from the last day or so.

I have recently been inspired to try and do more digital painting practising my semi realistic render of animated looking figures. 

when it comes to generic Manga first thing that comes to most minds I imagine is the long haired high Japanese school girl. Its one of the most overdone tropes. But because of the simplicity of the subjects character design (minus the eyes) it works well for experimenting with values.  

Here is the WIP of the attempt 

This was the original I started with but due to so many obvious mistakes and a great deal of derpness in the face I scraped it and started again. 

I like to add random characters in the backdrop for a bit of extra life.
