I've always had TONS of story ideas over the years. Many original ideas. Some fanfiction ideas.
Whoo boy. Little update here.
I've been working hard on trying to promote my character art on Deviantart and Instagram and a little bit on X, and more recently ArtStation and Furaffinity. By doing so, I'm hoping to get more people interested in my book.
It's also a way to promote my art as well. ^^
After some talks with my editor it looks like the story is going to get one heck of an overhaul. I'm hoping it doesn't affect the character designs too much...because I was happy with how the designs turned out.
I'm also debating on whether I want the villain to full on attempt to eradicate all the cats on Ark'eth, or introduce the "metal morph" which is my answer to Robotization. The metal morph works similarly to Robotization in that it turns living things into mindless robots, but the differences are that it doesn't require a machine to do so. Metal Morph utilizes an injection of nanites that transform cells to metal at the molecular level. That said, perhaps magic could be used for that purpose as well.
I do have some cute concept sketches of two of the characters though.
But as stated above, designs are subject to change. Fair warning.
I hope to have more concept art to enjoy soon. Stay tuned!
Starting out we have Ravine, the main protagonist of the story. She was trained in the art of swordsmanship from a young age. She later discovers who and what she is and must go on a journey to rescue her people from a mad dictator named Ishkar, who is hellbent on destroying the cats.
Set in a world of magic and mysterious lore, journeying from a country with medieval level technology to a world of highly advanced futuristic tech along with technology that taps into magic power, Ravine's quest will take her to lands unknown to her as she undergoes her rite of passage and discovers her purpose. But will she succeed in defeating the one who wishes her and her people to become extinct?
Here's Ravine's love interest, Hurricane. He's a former pirate turned mercenary in the rough draft. My editor wants me to change this...and I don't. lol. Let's see if we can come up with a reasonable compromise.
And here's an image of Ravine and Hurricane together in a nice romantic image:
