So, I have decided that, even should I return, I am never going to be able to finish Antithesis--my Graphic Novel, and so I am releasing what I did have--not a whole lot of pages--for general consumption.
I'm not, however, going to reveal the plot wholly, because I have other plans for it. But I digress, enjoy:
There were 3 front covers I made throughout the creation process, finally settling on a scene with 3 characters that were integral to the plot.
- The first cover was simple
- The second cover was perhaps too complicated:
- The third one was my favourite, and was going to be the final cover.
As for the novel itself; it underwent many radical and annoyingly intrusive storyline changes during the creation process, and kept making my final page estimate longer and longer. Primarily, though, it kept altering the prologue to the GN. The original prologue was as follows (there are a few pages missing, as I never transferred them from the older, smaller resolution novel) They don't make much sense on their own, but who gives a toss...
Then there was the beginning of the new prologue, of which I only finished one page, and I don't want to post any of the half pages I did. I was rather proud of the prologue I created here, and it probably would have, somehow, merged in with the one above. Please also note in this shot Terracus' perfect arse. =P
All that remains are random pages that I didn't get a chance to reshoot or finish off the scenes properly. In these shots you will see such characters as; PBlade, obviously, Neurosia, who was my Syntax alt, Terracus, again obviously, and the late Traxada. The pages with him in were the scenes I needed to reshoot, as I couldn't finish the novel with his somewhat integral role gone, so I had to change the characters. Traxada's successors were going to be, therefore, Garutachi and Yasamuu, with a sprinkling of other famous Machinists at the beginning.
To my great regret, I never refinished any of the pages that were most important to me--the scenes with Terracus and his mystery lover--so I might post my older, crapper pages in another post. If I can be arsed uploading them all some other time.
But for now, that was the story of 'Antithesis'; the Graphic Novel that never was. Thank you.
