Description
And the reign of Xiro poured down upon them, torrented by the enmity and apathy that turn the world....------
Finally after a LONG time of working on this pic... IT IS FINISHED!
So yeah, these are the characters for the manga I plan to produce, "The Xiro Myth" I so needed to finish this pic so that I could move on the other works.
The character's names again, if you didnt know already:
Hiro
Epoch
Tank
Eli
Chowli
Naya
Pedo (the owlcat)
Kilara
Drejrael / Drej
Kestrel
CJ
James
Ps: I would love to have some info on manga making... cause I am not extreemly good at it... and usually if I am not good at something, I tent to try over again... and drawing this manga several times I dun wanna try... _-_,
The Xiro Myth and it's characters are Β© Me, Kilara.

I am a manga writer and could give you tips on it if you would like. I don't post much on deviant art since I recently learned about it but love to see new and old artists get their hands on fun topics.
Your art is a little more towards the comic side but there is a lot that you do that can easily be transferred to manga.
If you have any questions just ask and I will see what I can do to help.
I will be looking to see your book in stores.

While I greatly appreciate your offer of help, you might have noticed that the image is from 2004 (about 9 years ago)
I have moved on from the idea of turning it into a Manga, which I did try for a bit in 2005 [link]
Since then I have re-thought and reworked pretty much everything about the comic. From what characters are main, [link] to the format I plan to present it in.
[link] (most recent post there)
Again thank you for offering. ^^

no problem and while I am commenting I am realizing that more and more graphic novels are dying down as the shorter colored comics are becoming popular again. At least that is how it is in my area that i am currently stationed.
Its interesting to see how much changes over time.

Oh, I definitely am not making mine short, I'm working towards posting it like a web-comic, but with a more serious tone, and lengthy storyline.

As a reader I am definitely ecstatic to see what your imagination comes up with that mine can't do because I am not you.
In other words I will be waiting to read it in the very near future.
Work hard on that story.

Wow! This is beauiful! So many characters in one place; I can never pull that off, but you have very nicely. They look to be very intriguing people, too.
Wow... just... *wow*

Well done, it's absolutely beautiful. Great shading and wonderful characters, and it's great to see a piece come together like this one did.
Great expressions and poses for all the characters, plus cool names (especially James lol).
It's really interesting to see the way you don't use linework to represent all of the character's features, and that most of the features come through the way you shade the faces.
Very professional looking. I'd say all your hard work definitely paid off with this one, it's totally worth a +fav.
Well done!

It's truly wonderful, I love the lighting and color selection on this piece, and all the characters are awesome. I especially like that horned character, the skin painting is really neat :3

Beautiful!!! Great work really!
About the manga thing, you may want to buy the 'How to draw manga' books, there are several which actually explain about story-boarding, panelling, etc... You may find tutorials on the Net too ^^

great...can't wait to read it....I myself have no clue how to make a manga, but one of my friends made one and it was quite good, even though she ended it in the middle...though her computer refuses to let her on deviantart...
if you want, you can contact her at cheetah_cub487@yahoo.ca
and the manga is at [link] shounen-ai though)
hope that helps somewhat...

Mrew! Need more pictures of Kestrel. XD!! I found that highly amusing. As I was waiting for the image to load, I was looking at the names... and it turned out that the one I liked the most in the image had the same name as a character that *I* have... Kestrel... gotta love that name.
Anyway... I look forward to hearing/reading more about "The Xiro Myth". Looks rather interesting.... Mmm..
