Well, might as well put it here!

It just suddenly hit me hard, just how little I have for my story other than character doodles. So I'll be doing more stuff like this for them. To uh... get ready for comic-ing them or something!

It's a zombie survival story! The dreaded "Class 4" infestation! Everyone's dead (some moreso than others) and the whole island's a wreck. And throw in some fantasy and sci fi or something.

I have a long ways to go, any crit would be helpful (=

Woah, sweet! my buddy :icononmitsu: was writing poems and I asked if he could write one on this pic. YOU ROCK, MAN. I love it!


Truth

We never were home. It only looked that way.
Wood burned black, ashes adorn the ground, hiding it, for fear of shame.
Wooden notches in doorways,
greasy handprints on walls,
may never have been there at all.

We never were safe. It only felt that way.
Rubble and ruin tempts us. Shadows reach out their fingers, offering claustrophobic embraces.
A common niche, shared by friend and foe.
When two species strive for the same space, one must go extinct.
Hunter, and hunted.

We were never friends. It only seemed that way.
Unlike the sun which rests amongst the clouds
We only have each other.
As rodents, we huddle.
An animal need for kinship and warmth,
Nothing but base instinct.

It never would be the same, that town.
Even just passing through, leaving footprints in the ash.
We left, the same as we entered, but,
The town had changed.
A lone moment of truth,
Forever preserved.

Exquisitely well done. I love the colours, the atmosphere, the setting. They say an image is worth a thousand words, well this image is worth a thousand more. Very well done! :D

I just realized I never left a review on this one! O.O

This one has been one of my biggest inspirations when it comes to backgrounds. For one of my classes last term I had to draw out almost the entire game for my final project and almost the entire time I was working on any backgrounds I had this picture in mind. I dunno this one really.. I just love the feel in it!

Sorry I never dropped you a comment here! I never heard from this story ever again..

I think that my favorite part of this picture is how In the picture your people are! they really feel like they're sitting in that world. Especially Ravie!
