Description
"Turn the page I need to see something newFor now my innocence is torn
We cannot linger on this stunted view
Like rabid dogs of war
I will let the memory heal
I will remember you with me on that field."
-- 'War' - Poets of the Fall
This certainly took a lot longer than I thought it would. Not my best, but I like it.
It started rather like Elevate did: "Ooh, I know, I'll draw this little thing, whoo." And before I knew it, I was up until the wee hours of the morning, pouring over the damn thing.
I absolutely love the song that inspired this. Fits these four so well, in my opinion. [link]
Hope you enjoy the hints at their respective pasts there. They're in chronological order. Some of you may recognize the third panel from another Deviation in my gallery.
Maybe, one of these days, I'll post a proper piece of art for RAID that ISN'T horribly depressing.
Expect some more INEVITABLE EDITS in the near future.
Also, clean version.
RAID and characters are Β© me.

Ahhhhhhhhhh, so cool! I really love the way you draw these... what are they? teasers? I think they are, because they just want me to read RAID more and more... I really hope you'll post more, because I'm in love with these characters and the story concept! (Err, what I can glean of it, anyways.)
....plus, I don't mind since I love depressing things, so. C:

Wow, this is just... this is really amazing. The gritiness and darkness from the first part is actually quite beautiful to me - How it tells such a large story with such a small glance. The last panel is really uplifting, especially when you make the connection that they're the same people. As much as I like it, I feel that such a stark contrast throws me off a bit. Maybe it's just me?
Once again, if I saw this as a poster in a movie theater, I'd abandon my original choice and get a ticket for this one.

;U; Thank you very much, Glow.
Yeeaah, I hear you about the stark contrast, though. But then, I kind of did that on purpose to show how much time had changed them; however, I still had the overlay of blue colour, to show that they'd never really get away from what happened to them? Oh well, I cba changing anything now. xD! But thank you!
Youaretoogoodtomeeee.

Wooow. I really, really love this. The contrast between the darker, more grungier colours at the top and the final clearer image at the bottom is really poignant.
Ceeecclliaaaaaaaaa. That top image totally breaks my heart. (They all do, but that one the most)
The saturated colours and the lighting on the bottom panel are all really well done, and all their poses fit well with the lyrics of the song. You really did a fantastic job on this one Para. I hope you do lots more like this. :3

Aaah, thank you, Nai. Glad you like it.
Ceclia. Ateehee.
I'm hoping to start up some more big projects when coursework's out of the way, so... there should be some more stuff coming soon.

Ah, sorryy. *Celcia.
Awesome, glad to hear. :3

Haha, sorry. XD I found that amusing.
Uuhm, by the way... I saw that picture of Garea on your sketchblog. Is there, uhm... Is there a reason why his hand is missing? 8DD;;;;
π: 0 β©: 1
It's OK, it was. xD
Urrrhmmmmm it's Mackenzie? xD And that's because he dies via decapitation. I needed to vent. xD Don't worry, I love Garea too much to hurt him. <3

Nyehe, no no. XD I love him!

Auuuugh this is so fantastic. The first four images are all haunting and make me so very curious. I think the first one is my favorite, it's really quite shocking and pulls you in. The rest are all equally awesome though, and that bottom one with the lighting... I love how each pose subtly shows everyone's relationship and personality, and the coloring is just fantastic. Amazing job!

But why? Pain, death, missery, war. They're all art.

They are indeed. But that quote doesn't relate to these characters at all, I'm afraid. :\
π: 0 β©: 1
I know, but it inspired me to write it. Actually is not a quote...it's a self creation hehehe. I have to thank you for giving me inspiration. Pertinax is the commander of my Word Bearer Chaos Space Marine army from Warhammer 40k. It's a nice phrase to begin the campaing this week end

Oh! Oh right! Haah, sorry, I had no idea what was going on with that quote, so I had to assume... XD; That's cool! Inspiration is a good thing. 8D

I'll be facing two diferent warbosses and I will crush both of them. But the match I can't loose is the match against the emperor's dogs.

oh ho ho, chaos 'umies crushing the might of the green tide? It is to laugh. You'll never even reach the tanky 'umies.

They'll be though matches, but I'll crush the green fungus. They'll fell the wrath of the dark gods.

This green fungus has had foot rashes more wrathful than your precious "dark gods"

I hope it doesn't look too cheesy. OTL I wanted it to at least look hopeful.
