Description The adventure must start somewhere

I figured I needed a starting point as I started to play with this, which in turn opened a whole bunch of new ideas to play with. I am planning a whole bunch of pics with our new adventurers.

It all starts I guess from waking up from a nap and finding yourself on the middle of a island in the middle of nowhere, with a ship floating in the distance.

Just an update still working the water

flats and pencils: there is still much to do here, shadows and working the ocean a bit more- I like the fact that it starts simple and as the pics progress, it will get more and more detailed.

Heh-heh, global warming? Or... what book was he reading? My own character was just riding off to a horse show and got sucked into another dimension, so a nap might be even more dangerous.

oh no- just woke up to the ocean coming in that's all- high tide i think and one must watch out for the pesky dimension swaps- they can take one on a wild ride

what's the wood thing in the water? Is it the fence in his yard? A few more details and you don't even need dialog, just tell the whole story in pictures.

travisJhanson In reply to raybies [2008-06-23 20:40:49 +0000 UTC]

it's a fence and actually it gets cropped so the bottom is gone on the final piece) I thought about telling the story with pics but i am not sure

Ooh waking up to find myself there would be quite an adventure itself, not to mention what's going to happen next. ^_^ I like how you have the area he's waking up on from his own life in the tropical surroundings. It looks almost as though it could be a dream.
