Description Aiden didn't have a lot of childhood memories. The majority of them consisted of the endless days he spent reading books in his father's office at Ground Zero. He learned to read and write early on, even though he never went to school. His parents were just too afraid of the bad influence the other students might have on him, so they took him to the labs instead and raised him there. It didn't particularly bother Aiden. He was an obedient child and most of all, he didn't know any better.

As the years flew by and Aiden grew older, he started making friends. It started with the scientists that worked with his father. They talked to him and sometimes brought him food and drinks when he was studying. They probably felt somewhat sorry for him, being the only child in the labs, but that pity quickly turned into respect as Aiden became more and more involved with Ground Zero's projects. Aiden was young, but also very intelligent. At the age of eight he effortlessly rewrote documents of senior scientists and made theories on how to improve the powerplant. Theories that were so impressive that they caught the attention of the professors in Yasny --Darkai's leading university-- and they pretty much begged Aiden to study there.
 
His admission to the university was the first time Aiden saw the outside world, and it scared him. There were so many people, and they were all so loud and talked so much. Not to mention all the new things he had to get used to. Textbooks, lectures, professors, and of course there was the media. They never stopped following him.

Aiden never understood the whole fuss. He was in fact quite surprised by the immense respect he received when he graduated on his blueprint for the new Darkai powerplant. Science was something Aiden did when he was bored, and he was bored a lot. He'd been so absorbed in his graduation research that he wasn't aware of how groundbreaking it was, neither did he realize how much he'd grown in the past few years. The new status came with benefits. The first and most obvious one was the money. As the powerplant's designer, Aiden got a small percentage of its profit. That seemed like a small gesture, but in a huge industrial area like Darkai it quickly added up to millions a year. At seventeen Aiden never had to work for money anymore. The second benefit, and perhaps the one that Aiden abused most, was that ever since his graduation nobody saw him as 'that weird kid' anymore. The world, and especially Darkai, considered him to be some kind of hero. He was the genius who single-handedly solved the energy crisis, and people had nothing but praise for a man like him.

Based on Aidens backstory in book 3. I really love writing about this asshole character

Again more experimentation with a more cinematic/emotional type of lighting and colors that I don't usually use. I'm probably gonna continue this whole storytelling/narrative kind of drawing experiment, as I like it a lot more than just drawing plain characters. The original reason that I started drawing was to give a face to my characters and draw scenes from my project/novel. And I feel myself getting excited now that I come closer and closer to my original goal

It's hard to track for me.
I have physical injuries that limit my drawing time a lot, so I usually spread it out over many days/hours instead of doing one long drawing streak

I really like having the bit of story within and along with the drawing.
It helps me understand the characters and become more immersed and more invested in them.
I hope you continue it!

DamaiMikaz In reply to ErlenmeyerKat [2017-03-28 13:38:14 +0000 UTC]

I will
Basically all the stuff I draw is from the novel, so there's lots more story

ErlenmeyerKat In reply to DamaiMikaz [2017-03-28 13:47:56 +0000 UTC]

I'm looking forward to it!
I have favorite characters, probably not the typical, so I'm intrigued to see if what I consider them to be like (from the small bits I've seen so far) match the true story.

Aiden, natch. Masaru and Karim. Though haven't seen much of Karim. His character description has great potential to round out some of the group dynamics, though.

I was basically trying to say that the 'feel' of the drawing is very nice.
