Description
Cover - [link]Page 2 - [link]
After almost three years I've finally started to work on my project again! This is a comic I'm creating that is a re-telling of the story of the huskies that were left behind during a Japanese expedition to Antarctica in 1958. Many people may already know this story because of the Disney movie "8 Below"... My goal is to retell the story without the happy, Disney flare and to try to stay a bit more accurate to the true story.
I will be trying to keep my descriptions to a minimum, as I'm hoping the story will be fairly self explanatory, however, feel free to ask any questions and I'll be more than happy to answer them.
I actually have the first 3 pages to the comic done, but I'll be uploading the other pages between 10 - 14 days, this way I can hopefully be consistent on page release dates.
Please do not take these pages without my permission.
As you can see, all the characters have new looks... I hope to post up character sheets of them all in the near future.

I am so glad I am not the only person who does things like this. Right now I myself am working on a comic for Tilikum the whale.

Have you seen the original movie? It's way more accurate than Eight below and 100000 times better!

Yes! A long time ago when I was twelve. I remember crying so hard through the whole movie. I wish I could find it again. They have the end on Youtube where taro and jiro are running across the arctic. thats the most I can find.

I'm all for that! I like Disney, really, but sometimes the Disney style doesn't mix well with certain things. Great job so far!

Yeah honestly I'm surprised Disney even did this story because its not really a happy one :\

Well, a lot of the original princess stories ended sadly. I guess they wanted to put a positive spin on it.

It's very nice; I hate to be a pain in the ass, but the dogs aren't hooked up to a sleigh like that.

Usually there's on line and the dogs are paired to the line.

Dogs can actually be hooked up like this - it's called a fan hitch. You'll see this hitch used more for arctic exploration and also natives tend to use this hitch because they don't run the dogs on trails, rather they are running them across the arctic.
You'll see the dogs hooked up to a single gang line most of the time though. That sort of hitching makes it much easier to traverse through thin trails in the woods.

There's a link and you can also just search "dog mushing fan hitch" and some stuff comes up. Again, it's definitely not the most popular hook up.
I actually used to dog much so I could never imagine actually using a fan hitch 
I will admit that I did screw up the harnesses though. I should have researched what the H-Back harness looks like instead of trying to go off of memory...

No, no, no, it's fine, I'd just never seen anything like that before. I'd never consider it as an option cause it gives the dogs so much leeway to pull in different directions
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah I totally agree! It has to be total chaos. Oh, and I think another reason they use a fan is that way when they are running over the ice and a dog falls through the entire team doesn't fall through. At least that makes sense to me. lol

That's true, and it totally makes me think of Balto for some reason >>

Good. Really good to hear you'll be doing this without the disney flare.

Thanks! Yeah the story is actually really interesting and they built a statue of one of the surviving dogs in Japan. I won't mention which ones actually survive, in case you're not familiar with the story and want it left as a surprise
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I;ve heard the story just not all the details. It's also been awhile since I last saw the movie. I'll go look into it, thanks!

No problem.

Cause people are dorks and dun like doing their history homework. Oh well, we'll just make the most of it, won't we?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sure will! At least I can't have people coming back at me and going "well actually, the way history has it written this and this happened" lol.

Sounds like a plan...for those that want to be slapped in the face for being so dense. Strange, how things work out, isn't it?

Thanks! I'd like to think so, lol. And I'm hoping as the comic goes on it will only improve more.
