Description Crankrats art, something to wind down on.

Down on the bowels of the city, everything is in ruins. The floor is covered in a dense, dark smog that chokes anyone who decends into it. Those who survive and linger are driven into madness, becoming cannabalistic and downright evil. They are known as the Hazers, and lately they've been more active than usual...

Some Hazers who have a smidge of sanity left know to avoid a Crankrat like the plague when they see one, but most will try for any flesh they can find, and it looks like Jack's walked right into a Hazer's nest...

So a crankrat is a person who hunt the hazers? Nice to get an explenation to the name. But what does crank mean? (English isn't my first language.)

A crankrat is a person who can channel electricity.

And it's a slang way of saying 'turn something up', such as volume or heat, seeing as they have to charge up thier ability, i thought it was a adeqaute name. ^3^

So... is it only crankrats who go down there and chase them or are there others too?

Ah! Now that you say it I know what it is. But taken out of context I didn't get it. I do agree that it's a good name though.

You'll find out! - though i do apologise if I havn't made it easy to follow thus far. You can always note me with questions if anything's not clear or confusing - but if the answer's spoilerific i shall reply with a haughty: and rub my hands together menacingly.

Also I realised tonight (when I was supertired and tried to sleep away my cold though it didn't succeed) that it's crankratS. In plural. So are there more like him? I thought he was the only one. Also I'm very curious as to how he got those powers. But I'm sure we'll get to know that later.

No no, don't worry about it. The story hasn't been going for that far yet. I'm sure everthing will be clear sooner or later.
And like I said, I don't really want to know anything beforehand. But I must be allowed to speculate a bit, right?

Jack looks brilliant in this with all the lighting and shading.

And I'm really loving the way you draw lightning; it looks pretty realistic but it still suits your style.

Thanks Xani, i'm really glad you like it. it's a little simple i think, but then if it was too detailed i think it might take away from the style of the comic?

MythicEl In reply to Sio64 [2011-08-16 00:22:06 +0000 UTC]

Hmm. It might, but since this isn't an actual comic page I don't think some more detail would hurt if you wanted to add it.

It would be interesting to see a realistic drawing of Jack (and Maddie, Ara and Sable ) channelling lightning in the style of [link] (eee, that picture ) as well.

Looks awesum ^^ Could imagine that there would be a "cleaning" group by the goverment(?) or from some private company from time to time in full body armors and some kewl weapons and stuff to keep them Hazers in check.
