"Roan, Jacob and Celest"
There is a project that I have been working on off and on for over a year now. It started with a few character sketches... a necromancer's daughter, a giant dwarf, a clumsy witch, a mapmaker with no pants... and from there morphed into a series of unrelated tales, each more fantastic than the last. Over time I realized that the handful of stories I had produced were all taking place in the same basic world, so why not make it official?
So my Wuldi was born.
A land inundated with magic and filled to the brim with heores and monsters and with as much comedy as tragedy and downright silliness. A place that is full of pieces of me and everything I love about storytelling.
Elves, dwarves, trolls and humans. Dragons of course, but only four. Wizards and Witches, a thieves guild, gypsies and pious zombies. Im really very tickled by my bible thumping undead. Of course their bible is a slightly revised necromantic tome of magic they still call the "Necronomnom", but what other type of holy book would a legion of undead have?
And the story... at times I think I should write it into a novel rather than illustrate it as a comic. But then I remember its roots, a few simple character drawings in the margin of a page, and I remember who I am, an artist before everything else, and the thoughts of having more text than pictures flees from my mind.
So in coming days as I polish up the plot and script and finalize character designs in anticipation of actually having some real time to dedicate to it (Yay end of school!) I will be keeping my juices flowing by posting here.
