Description
Sup guys! Here's page 2 for Trail of the Dead. This beast took a while to layout and color. I would've had it out sooner, but I also have school as well. I'll start page 3 soon.Hiroko is chasing after an infrared unmanned spy drone that surveys the city. She's hoping that by capturing it, she can find some information about her lost little sister. Hope she doesn't destroy it though after shooting it down.

Your art style is very vivid without being tacky, but having the character openly narrate for us what's going on is kind of cheesy. I think it would get the reader more organically involved in the story if the plot and characters were revealed through action and dialogue.

Thanks a lot dude. Yeah that's just how her character is, she talks to herself a lot even when no one is around.

Narrates what she's doing to herself? That sounds more like paranoid schizophrenia than a character quirk

She is actually pretty insane and unstable at times. Sometimes she talks to herself out loud, or to other 'people' that no one else but her can see.

And sometimes she talks directly to the viewers/readers, as if she can see them in another realm. Other normal characters in the story just be all like and think she is pure insane.

So why don't they lock her up?

Quite terrible actually. Iver the past couple month I've been dealing w/ health issues. In Nov. my esaphigus clogged up causing major breathing problems. Rhen on Christmas morning came down w/ a serious ear infection which resulted in me losing most of my hearing in my left ear (in addition 2 serious ear pains, ringing or palsing in ear, migrains, stiffness in neck, and lack of sleep). Am currently still fighting infection having 2 go 2 hospital twice in one week due 2 unbearable pain and fear of totally losing my hearing (still need 2 go back 4 more check-ups and treatment). Inspite of all of this I'm still trying 2 force myself in the lab 2 keep my latest project moving forward.

>_< Dang that sucks man, I hope you'll start to get better soon! How are all your projects coming along so far?

That's where problem #2 lies. I was in the lab earlier working on my latest one and a girl wanted 2 use the computer w/ scanner, so I went 2 tranfer stations I found out my main psd file was replaced w/ a a blank one. 3rd set-back I've encountered while working on this project. I may give into temptation and just go and post an update. It's by far a killer design though...

>_< Damn. That can happen a lot when you're switching back and forth with files. Now I keep multiple backup files stored in multiple places.

This is a very cool page, your concept and effects on the scenery is visually effective! Great job!

You are welcome! Lol, I looked at the scenes again and the wounded being scene makes me think of those movie effects. The effect is like on the game House of the Living Dead! Well, it proves you are willing to use enough effort to make it all come together. Do what you do and keep moving dude!

How's your story coming along man?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Slowly but surely. Even if I am not working on it I am thinking about it or doing reseach for it. Once my mom finally leavs for Ohio and I have my place to myself finally I shall probally be able to get more stuff done in general as I shall have peace and quiet.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nice. You've been doing more research on the angels, demons, and jjin? Ah, you work best when its quiet?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I had been doing research on Afghan and Pakistani history to better understand the possible context for stuff mentioned here [link] the Karima character always having been based on a prior friend of mines. Beyond that writing about my own memories since the next leg of the story (at least for Timothy is based in memory) [link]
Yeah I do better quiet and some noisy places like restuarants but at home it isn't quiet enough or noisy enough to drown out annoying family members.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nice! I just read the first link you sent. It has powerful imagery and definitely brings out Karima's character and history more. I'll ready the second one next.
O_O Damn. You haven't gotten used to the noise yet?

What I have specifically been trying to figure out I think not so much for the story but for my own sake why the murder of my real world offline friend Karima is based off of didn't just report the murder to the Pakistani police.
My mom finally left today in time for me to study for my midterms on Tuesday. After date I shall hopefully get my production of writing back where I would ideally like. I know when she was away for a month early summer I was very productive.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Whoa, that was based loosely on real events?
O_O You have midterms already? Good luck with both your midterms and writing!

So is what happens to Karima mentally in chapters 1 and 3.
Yep
