Cover:You are here.
Next:

A legend, a curse and a paradise-like place in a hostile desert.

In a world ruled by Gods of the Old World a deal made out of desperation turns the life of an unsuspecting and innocent pup into a living hell.
Cast out of his pack, the only place he can flee to is the desert.
Without a home to return to, he sets out to find a brother he never knew and save not only their lives but also the lives of generations yet to be born.
With the help of a friend, who knows more than he lets on, a guide to lead him whatever path he may choose, he tries to find a way to break the curse and restore faith in the Gods.

Alteiran, youngest offspring and second in line to the throne of El'amir, has to flee after a horrible accident leaves him hated by his family and nearly killed.
Feeling left alone by the Gods he used to pray to, he finds himself stuck in the unforgiving deserts surrounding his former home. Close to death, the young pup is saved by an unlikely ally, a lone experienced wolf who knows more than he lets on, who takes him under his wing. Together they set out to find Alteirans older brother, Red, a brother he never knew, trying to save him from the destructive path he set himself on, as Red prepares to take the valley of El'amir by force, claiming a throne that is rightfully his.
Both brothers loss of faith in the Gods might be their biggest challenge, as both not only have to face each other but also the wrath of Demons and unholy Spirits.

Can they come to an understanding and fight side by side to save the Sacred Valley, or will their hatred and determination lead them right into their own destruction?

My spanish is not good enough and so far I haven't decided to offer any kind of translation of the comic.

Hello. Can I translate your comic books on the Russian language? Your comic I liked, and I would like to translate it, that would show my friends and all the people who don't know English.

GefΓ€llt mir besser als das erste Cover :3. UnabhΓ€ngig vom Schriftzug.
Das erste Cover war zwar auch cool und sehr gut ausgefΓΌhrt, aber das Motiv hier ist irgendwie ungewΓΆhnlicher. Das erste Cover erinnerte vom Prinzip her an Yin und Yang, mit einem guten und einem bΓΆsen Charakter. Das hat man auf seine Art schon oft gesehen.
Das hier ist viel harmonischer und dennoch hat man beide Protagonisten (sollte ich in Red's Fall Antagonist sagen?) drauf, ohne dass es gleich einen Charakter als "evil" abstempelt". Mag ich sehr :3.

Genau. c: Das vorherige Cover hat die beiden Hauptcharaktere einfach nicht genau charakterisiert. Jetzt finde ich es viel besser. Red ist nicht einfach zu charakterisieren.

Yeah, exactly my thoughts. This cover manages to sum up the mood of the story way better than the previous one.

I'll have to see the previous one but that sounds like the story may be intended as a tragedy

I thought so too. Drawing him as the stereotypical bad and grumpy antagonist just didn't sit well with me anymore, because it is not exactly like him.

Because this is the new cover. The original cover I had uploaded month ago was indeed hard to read.

But good to know that the problem is now solved.

I like the story line so far as well, may I ask, is
Sleight of Hand replaced with aKitD? I'm not
trying to rush you guys, just wondering how it's
status is. c:

T0xicEye In reply to porcuMoose [2012-06-15 01:05:42 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. I am happy about how it turned out myself.

I hope I won't dissappoint anyone.

No, absolutely not. AKitD is my personal project and has nothing to do with "Sleight of Hand".
We have resumed work on SoH, but you may have heard that we have switched places. Now I make the concepts for the pages and *Tavaris colors them. But since she hardly every does full detailed digital work it takes her a while to get used to it.
She is already done with inking and flat coloring the chars (she sent me a WIP today) and it looks good so far. Should she have too many problems I will of course help her out in the beginning, after all I have more experience with digital work. I hope we can submit the next pages in a couple of weeks.c:

Yendy, it's you !

The idea isn't new, Ses and I always planned to switch places. Now I hold the reigns when it comes to the layout of the pages. Yet that doesn't mean I won't pass them back to Ses sooner or later.

I'm excited (and scared) to see how I'll manage. But I don't worry too much, after all, I have a great artist by my side <3.

Haha, well I believe you are going to do a great job,
and if it's a little rough in the beginning, making a
comic is a good way to get better and better! c:

But the beginning is quite boring. I really cannot wait to get to the first chapter, but I am not even done with the prologue.

Very cool, I am very much looking forward to reading this. Lol, Red seems to be a popular name for wolves these days. Even one of my comic characters who's a wolf is named Red. When do you think the first page will be out? (I know it says coming soon, and if you don't know that's fine, I'm just curious. c

Yeah, Red is a popular name. A bit clichΓ©ed maybe, but I had to use it.
I actually have all the pages up to page 4 already done and several more sketched but I want to wait at least a week before submitting the next page.

Wolved In reply to T0xicEye [2012-06-10 16:04:33 +0000 UTC]

Sure, but that's ok because it's a cool name. XD As long as you don't go calling your characters... bob or something, it's usually good.
And really? Well, I'm excited to see the result. Oh, and I know you won't disappoint any of us here looking forward to the comic. Also, I think the sort of... "promo"? You did in the artist's comment helped people get excited to. Very well written!
