Description
The Main Page of PROJECT-REWIND: [link]Page01-Page02: [link]
Page03-Page04: [link]
Rewind is one of my minor projects on the list.
The story is about five students of Evergreen Academia.
The Joker, in the middle, is the offspring of shamans, but being born in the modern world makes him have less interest in spiritual stuffs. He's the narrator of the story.
The other four characters, from left to right, consists of...
- the King of Heart, with his charming and friendly personality, he easily becomes the heartbreaker of the school.
- the Queen of Diamond, coming from one of the most influential and noble family, she is ranked high above all in the social hierarchy. But she is said to be charitable and generous, despite her stoic appearance.
- the Queen of Club, having straight A record for her academic performance, she is one of the most famous students in the school.
- the Kind of Spade, he is the gold-medal swimmer and is the pride of Evergreen's Olympia Project. With the label "hero", his only goal in life is to win.
All of them are followed by "the Shadow" of their own past. Like the concept of Karma, we cannot run away from our shadow, one day we all need to pay back for what we did. No matter how superior you are, you can't escape from it.
The Shadows are represented as children in mask of five different animals, from left to right, the Boa, the Fox, the Doe, the Owl and the Cod.
This project intends to narrate "bullying" from another aspect. The bully, in my opinion, should not be viewed as someone superior or threatening. Pushing others down doesn't show that they're invincible and strong. Instead, they are victims of their own past and their own mind. Their strength and superiority need to be vilified by harming others physically or verbally. They are no-one when they're alone. That's why they are dependent, vulnerable and pitiful.
Under the rule of nature, one day the hunter will be hunted, and the predator will be the prey.

แหะๆ เป็นเกียรติมากเลยครับ
ใช้โฟโต้ช็อปครับผม แต่ว่าไปหาโหลด brush จากเว็บต่างๆ บางทีก็ได้รับส่วนบุญจากคนในนี้แหละครับทำ brush ฟรีให้โหลด
ผมก็จะเลือกใช้ brush ที่เวลาระบายแล้วจะเหมือนสีน้ำแหละครับ ใช้ลูกเล่นนิดหน่อย เช่นการใช้ gradiant tool เพื่อเป็นการไล่สีนะครับ ^^

Bonjour, je voulais juste vous dire que je me suis grandement intéressé aux projets The O et Rewind.
C'est incroyable le changement qu'il y à eut au fil du temps. Mais cette oeuvre me "fascine". En tout cas, je voulais vous poser une question : y à t il d'autre images de dOe qu'ici ?
Et sinon, je vous en supplie continuez, c'est vraiment génial.
Et votre vision sur le "bullyin"... Je m'étonne que peu de personnes n'aient pas encore comprises le mécanisme. Mais bon, vous en faite parti, c'est déjà bien. Enfin je m'égare : si je vais trop loin, ce message deviendra totalement taré...
Donc en résumé :
Y à t il d'autres images de dOe ?
Et continuez comme ça , je suis FAN (avec un grand F s'il vous plaît)

Bonjour!
First of all, I have to say that I only know basic French. HEEHEE
I hope you don't mind that I communicate in English.
Anyway, I use google translate to help me understand some sentences.
If I miss some questions, please tell me what I didn't answer you.
1) Yes, I remove dOe from my project, because I make some changes in the story line.
I find that my plan to include "dOe" won't fit anymore. So, I change dOe to "mOth" instead.
(And, if you notice, 4 animals consist of 1 mammal, 1 fish, 1 bird and 1 reptile. The major character in the end should be quite special, so "an insect" (mOth) might be better than another mammal (dOe). 
2) About bullying, originally, it was basic. People who hurt others need to pay for their actions.
But, my interpretation toward bullying has expanded. I realize that human aggressive and violent nature is more complicated than that. Bullying can come in many forms; some are more subtle than others. And so many times, we know when we are bullied, but we don't really know when we bully others. We might use excuses and reasons to make our wrong doings more acceptable.
I think it's too plain when "bad guys" are harmed because they are "bad". Others expect that they will lose, and deserve punishment or death. What if people who are punished are ourselves and our friends? What if we believe that we do nothing wrong? To me, confusion is scarier and more realistic. And this emphasizes that the bully is the victim, not the hunter.
AND I'm SO SO SO BLISSFUL to know that my project interest you. I will try my best not to disappoint you and other fans. 
Merci beaucoup. Your words really make my day. ^u^

You see, I wrote my comment un french because I have a basic English for talking (or writing) but I un détestant perfectly the english when I read (i hope i'm clear)
And thank you for this explanation about "bullying" who make the things more clear. I think i have understand all (of your vision) and in reallity no, so.. Thank you.

C'est bien.
And please don't worry about your English. Because I don't speak English as the first language as well.
So, ce n'est pas parfait aussi. hahaha
Please feel free to interpret my project. I don't want to limit how others think of it. I want everyone to have his/her own connection with my project. ^u^
Et merci encore pour le watch.

สวยดีคับน่าสนใจดี ชอบครงการออกแบบเงาที่เป็นมอสเตอร์น่ะคับ
แต่ผมว่าถ้าเงามาอยุ่ฝังนี้แล้ว ตัวละครของเราน่าจะมืดอีกสักหน่อยนะคับ

Your concept is absolutely brilliant. This is hands down the most cerebral concept for a manga I've seen on DA. I am hooked! Where do I start reading?

Oh my god~! Thanks a lot for this.
It's so blissful to hear compliment.
Well, I really want to make this comic happen here.
I have all the draft/plot in my head. Just still need time to draw the whole comic down.
As I see that many people seem to interest in it, I'll try my best.
Thanks again.

You're welcome. But I don't understand the animal form aspect to it. You equate the students to the suits of certain cards and that's very interesting. But they also have animal forms?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Firstly, this project contained three "animals" as punishers.
Boa (wide mouth), Fox (large ears) and Owl (big eyes) to represent not to say, not to hear and not to see bad things. But, at some point I feel like "I need to add a fish in it". (I don't know why?) So I just recently put Cod in this project. Doe is the key animal in this project, so I will not describe about it much.
Animals are NOT those characters' another form. Indeed, they are "messengers".
Each card in the suits represent different aspect of superiority in our society; (heart) sex, (diamond) wealth, (club) intelligent/career and (spade) physical ability.
Boa represents vicious side of femininity. Some flowers are beautiful, but how do we know they are not poisoned?
Fox portrays a barbaric but crafty slasher. The one that will sneak into your "warm and secured castle" and get you.
Owl symbolizes a human face. The face that will judge you and keep its eyes on you. Reminding you of every pieces of guilt and shame resting in your heart.
Cod depicts the one from the other dimension. On the ground, we might be strong and fast, but maybe not in the battle field that is called "underwater".
Doe is the observer. That's all I can say.
One of my main goal is to create...mix feeling (?) for readers.
Generally, bullies are on the opposite side of the readers. We end up feel like "YEAH!!! THESE JERKS DESERVE IT!! THEY ALL NEED TO ROT IN HELL!!!"
But what if we are one of the bully without knowing it? what if one of them are our friend? Just want to show another aspect of this topic. I don't want to draw the line between heroes and villains, because in reality everything is grey. Sometimes, we can feel afraid of the right and feel sorry for the wrong. Although we call ourselves "Heroes", we still need to pay for what we have done to others. Entitlement will not change the rule.

Your concept for manga characters having alternate identities reminds me a lot of Persona 3. Have you played that game?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I "watched" Persona 4 on youtube.
(I don't have much time to play the game myself, so...)

The concept is that the characters have powerful alter egos that they can summon forth from themselves. Theyre called 'personas'. This image shows some of the main characters from P4, and their alter egos in the background.

Their personas also represent "dark side/hidden side" of each character, right?
Thanks for the image, anyway. ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
With Personas it's not necessarelly a dark side. More like a powerful, supernatural side. Sort of like a cross between a spirit shaman and a monster you can summon in Final Fantasy 7. The main character is the only one in Persona 3, who can obtain many types of Personas. Some of them are darker than others.
