For the joy of it wanted to share some more artwork I finished up a few days ago, def going for the comic book style of drawing. Looking forward to working with a fine gentlemen and crafting some images for his short stories, can’t wait to see what concept we make!
For some context about the image as well.
The male on the left is named Merick (Alt# 207) Him and many other children of his ‘kind’ were forced in to a home either from or from a young age, due to the decree of their newly reformed Aristocracy that dethroned the old king two Generations ago. As the king reigned he has slowly taken advantage of Earth’ technology and and integrated the Human means of communication on their children. Communication such as social media, but controlled social media, television, music, etc. Anything where propaganda can be used to manipulate the people of The Sunlit Enclave.
Consequently this gives the newer generations a perception that Alt’s are unclean, and lower class beings in society. Consequently, many of the new generation wish to have nothing to do with Alt’s and believe the discrimination towards Alt’s is truly justified. When in reality Alt’s were raised to be the champions of their home, due to their ability to manipulate Aether in a means regular magic users could not.
Magic users though rare but more common than Alt’s were individuals who were able to manipulate the Aether strains around them that is generated from a ”Inner space” rich of this source of power. These magic users would be able to draw from that space, and through the right knowledge of how draw from the Inner space, they would create magic. However, the magic they would use is determined by the geography they were born, and how the mother crystal that is the access way to Inner space has influenced the genetic biology that dictates the type of magic they will ultimately use. in short, they’re from a kingdom called the Sunlit Enclave, and this race was known for using light magic, but more importantly how they were able to engineer fake suns that acted as repellent agents to god like monsters coined as giants.
(getting to the point of what an alt is) An alt is someone who is born capable of using the Binary aspect of what Sunelves can do, which is use light magic. a Sunlit Alt uses what is thought to be ‘dark’ magic. The reason these guys are a bit more special, is that only left handed magic users are capable of becoming Alts, their entire cognition is wired differently, additionally, they don’t draw from Aether, rather they are Aether. The significance of their abilities before the creation of fake suns, was that the Sunlit, were of the first to come from hiding when a astral species of monsters called Giants, or worst were roaming their homelands.
This is an example of a “Nightmare” (pink), and a Giant (big boi)
