Basically, there are some things I think
I'd like you as my reader to be aware of while reading my comics...so
here we go!
Why are you putting up sketches?
Why don't you finish your comics?
Well, comics take time to do. Any decent artist will tell you that.
When I was in High School I churned these out nearly every week but
as you can see, most of them are merely sketched on paper (sometimes
even on scratch paper). Instead of taking time on one specific series,
I chose to hop, skip and jump to the next idea that popped into my
head--resulting in a wide range of ideas, parallel universes and interesting
situations. Go ahead, call me lazy. I had my hands full balancing
my studies. I guess my point is that I wanted to share so many stories
with my classmates and friends. There was simply no way I could spend
so much time grounded to one project at a time. It's a shame to let
most of these 'doodled masterpieces' of mine crumble to dust in their
compartments so I chose to put them up here and share them with you
guys. All I want is to spread a little cheer in people's lives.
What are Cepheres, Elysia and Daguerreo?
ELYSIA is the human world/dimension. This is the world you and I live
in. It is a world of science, some paranormal and supernatural activity
but mostly devoid of magic and high levels of power. The people who
reside here are unaware of darker forces that have a say in the way
the universe operates. In a sense this is the newest frontier, having
only been born for a few milleniums. A similar concept is YuYuHakusho's
Ningenkai. The word "ningen" meaning people and "kai"
world. This is a highly secured dimension by the D.S.W.I.I. (Department
of Sorcery, Witchcraft and Interdimensional Investigations). Only
a select few can come to and from here and stealth/discreteness is
highly enforced among them.
DAGGUERREO is the one of the oldest of the charted dimensions. Think
of it as the Dungeons and Dragons dimension. It is a dimension parallel
to our own. This means it exists at the same time as we do. Kings,
castles, dragons, and epic battles all still go on in a world perhaps
thrice as chaotic as Elysia's. The levels of magic here are at their
strongest. Raw power emanates through the surface and the air itself
seems tinged with it at all times. There are several ways to get to
Dagguerreo and consequently, many paths to leave it as well. D.S.W.I.I.
try to monitor significant wars and events that go on here to make
sure that the security of other dimensions are not threatened. The
lands are populated by species like elves, dwarves, trolls and the
like. Since magic is at its rawest here the appearance of monsters
is not out of the ordinary.
CEPHERES is a quiet dimension that exists somehow intermeshed into
Elysia's outer rims. It is a relatively peaceful world where some
magic-using communities have learned to co-exist with several other
interdimensional species. This is where the Institute of Magic was
established and is also where D.S.W.I.I. is based. A council of gods
lay down laws to govern the civilized dimensions which are then enforced
by the DSWII officers. From this dimension, they can monitor all the
chartered dimensions and dispatch officers to the field if necessary.
Why do you like using the same characters over and over again?
(Shuuichi, Ferio, Teppei etc.)
Since I have grown quite fond of these characters, they have developed
their own unique personalities that are quite deviant from their true
character personalities. It is these personas that I've become comfortable
drawing over and over again.
DISCLAIMER: Some of the characters that
appear in my comics are copyrighted and belong to their respective
owners. I don't claim them as my own and I try to state that as often
as possible.
