Description Concept art for a POSSIBLE... possible... possible... upcoming project that is simply titled "Runne" for the moment.

With Dreigiau going to find a finish with the upcoming NaNo this year, it was suggested that I follow the characters and continue the story into the next world -- the world of Runne.

Now... IF I do get up the inspiration to take on another project (which I probably shouldn't), it won't be another NaNoWriMo novel. I'm taking a break from that after eight years in a row. And it won't be another comic -- Shimmer has proven that that kind of update demand doesn't get met at this point in my life. I'm fooling with a way to make it a blend of both. But I won't say much more than that right now.

So here we have a collage of some of the main faces we'd see on Runne. This doesn't include ALL of the characters. But it sure does note most of the important ones. Some may just be a little familiar...

From right to left:

(top)Zemus, SoYa, FuSoYa
(bottom)AsaHi, KiNaTu (Kip), ShiKon

Thoughts, ideas, etc would be appreciated.

It's blowing my mind, too. I just have to figure out how to make it happen! *laugh*

I've been brainstorming up thoughts on this project, so it's still on the table and rattling around in my head. Not forgotten.

I always loved Zemus' Shimmer-era design, with the sleek glasses and all. And ShiKon, as always, looks fantastic.

Thank you! That was a random comment on an older picture. What brought you there (just curious)?

Cleaning out my inbox, which was well into the quadruple digits. Instead of just wiping the whole thing, I did pull out a few pieces I wanted to comment on along the way. (I'm trying to be a better deviant... one slow step at a time.)

ooooo new art <3 and oooo a possible new project? Luv!

Looks great as always Wren! I hope that eventually this does turn into something, weather it be a novel or something else I'm sure it'll end up awesome no matter what. The picture itself looks like a move poster or something. Which is just plain awesome.

Thanks! That's what I was sort of shooting for with this -- a movie or anime poster.

We'll see what comes of it. I appreciate your encouragement!

Beardless Fu FTW!!!
*kipglomp*
And ShiKon likes daggers? She just scored major points in my book!
(Heh, Kip likes the dangerous women)

Yep. ShiKon is a little thief... much like her future Wayrift self (Fang).

Not sure why, but I have a soft spot for the assassins and thiefs.
. . .
Maybe that's why Mai's my favourite character in Avatar..?

I suppose Kip has a soft spot for them too... considering he started out as one, himself.

I actually almost drew Kip using daggers in this picture, too. Actually, the rough pencils were drawn that way... I couldn't decide if young-young streetrat Kip would use daggers or a staff. Since I couldn't decide, I chose to go with magic instead... since Kip was probably the only chance in the picture to get some magic effects in!

Well, as always, the magic effects look amazing!

Fu with no beard ish love, and I like your concept of Zemus. If I saw your rendition 18 years ago on the SNES, I'm sure I wouldn't of been as scared as I did seeing a scary, purple Lunarian... thing. Hee.

Oh, and the composition of all the characters is awesome. I wish I could do that...

I usually have issues with big group pictures, so I was lucky this came out!

Fu and his father don't exactly have the best working relationship. If the story ever gets off the ground, you'll understand why. It's really pretty sad.

We'll see how it works out. I'm just kicking ideas around at this point... and thought it would be fun to sketch the image that had burned into my head.

I had one of those type ideas a few weeks ago...however it still needs to be digitized.
And it's nowhere near as good as yours.

I'm unfamilliar with you and your work, but this caught my attention and I rally like it. Particularly... *traces name* SoYa? The middle in the background, I like him the best. It was his face that I happened to notice first.

This looks very interesting, in any event! I like the composition.

And the purplllleeeeee >D

Thank you very much! These are all existing characters (have been around for 8+ years), so when I put them together in a collage I said "Shoot! So much purple!"

Ooops?

Sh1n1d4m1 In reply to Aywren [2009-09-24 01:44:34 +0000 UTC]

Purple is the greatest of all colors, so I find absolutely nothing wrong with having a lot of it.

Aywren In reply to Sh1n1d4m1 [2009-09-24 02:00:46 +0000 UTC]

Teals and blues tend to be my favorite colors, but I find a lot of my characters go for a purple color scheme. Purple's a great color, too, so who am I to argue?

Oh, and about the character you noted in your first comment. Yes, you were right, that's SoYa. And I'm glad he stood out so much as he'd honestly be the lead character in the story... at least in the start. Probably why I chose to center him and make him the largest. So I guess that worked!

Thanks again for your comments!
