Description
Well when you gotta story you want done before 2010; you gotta push onward.We continue where we lastleft off from Pages 3-4. Here's 5-6; and this is where things stop for now. This week I'll be working on pages 7-hopefully a lot.
Well the one thing I detest about this page is the first page; where alister's face is at his worst. The one i nthe first panel particularlly bugs me. Why does he look so fat? That was a mistake.
the second panel below is ok, but the last one his chin kinda appears ot be missing. Let's jsut say I am experimenting. Should I ever decide to dit this, I'll do it at my own pace.
Well Alister is just talking with his friends Kaden, sin, and our nameless lombax girl who will eventually be Kaden's wife. (And subsequently Ratchet's mother.) Note how alister says 'Veldin' is a great place to visit, and his brother took him there. Everyone seems excited to go...except for Sin who just stares into the sky muttering nothing. Gloomy gus. =-p
And now, a new character has been introduced. Walking over the hillgreeting young alister is a tall lombax with a light beard and red marked bangs.
Alister refers to him as Nero. And indeed he is my character creation 'Nero Azimuth.' He is Alister's older brother. although I never drew him until now, I figure a comic is a neat way to introduce a character and see how he is personality wise.
First off (as was mentioned before Ner oarrived) it appears Alister forms a strong bond with his older brother. and when Nero does arrive they greet warmly and Nero invites Alister for some funat Kreel Canyon. Alister is naturally delighted...cause that means 'Hover Boot Time!' OH BOY!!! =-D
asking to bring his friends along, Nero obliges with a thumbs up sign and calls alister 'bro.' Right away we can see the differences. In ACiT; Alister is serious. While young here, Alsiter isn't as serious andm ore fun loving, but I would never picture him using slang. So I have his older brother use it.
BTW: how old are they? Well I've made alister to be pre-teen..along with everyone else here. They're about in their 13s or 15s here. Though the faces do change.
Alister's face in the top right hand corner of Page 6 is exactly how I pictured him when he was young. this is the face I really shoulduse from now on. See, you draw the face enough eventually you get a good idea what it should look like.
Same thing for Sin. His face at the bottom left corner of Page 6 is exactly how he looks younger. Sin BTW doesn't seem intent on joinign the fun. Kaden's future wife asks why not. This is when we are introduced to another character who soon will make his appearance: Barge. Col. Barge. He's Sin's trainer and mentor. And given Sin wants to leave and get back ot his training rather than hover boot with his friends...we can tell Barge is rather strict. (And by friends in that he just hangs out with them.) Even Nero waves Sin off telling him not to work too hard under Barge.
And finally we see Nero gaze at his supposed pass again on his now lonely hill. A brief memory; but they pass in and out of our minds don't they?
Well that's all for now folks. Will be gettign the next pages out sometime this week. I'll be working on them right now.
Alister Azimuth, Kaden and Kaden's wife are (c) to Insomniac Games.
Sin, Nero Azimuth and Barge are (c) to Shinragod.

What's the age difference between Nero and Alister?

In this comic I'd say Alister is around 10-11 and Nero is about 22.
You could say there's almost a ten year difference.

Alister is so cute in this! X3 I really like your design for Ratchet's Mum and how you gave Alister a brother! 8D

Hey! thanks for reading the pages. :-D
Ah Zema; she's funt odesgin. She's kind of how I imagined Ratchet's mother.
And I couldn't resist. I did give Alister a brother; simply cause he needs to be one of the factors that affected his life for years to come.

You're very welcome, its an amazing comic and a joy to read! 8DD
I really do love her design, its perfect for Ratchet's mother! ^-^
I think it was a great idea to give him one, he never mentioned his family in ACIT (not that I can remember of anyway X3) so its nice to see him with a brother ^^

After seeing AVATAR, I have to say this,
Sin reminds me of Corporal Lyle Wainfleet and Tiberus Barge reminds me of Colonel Quaritch.
General Barge: You are not on Fastoon anymore.
Dont belive me?
[link]
He somewhat looks like Colonel Quaritch

And the movie AVATAR it self reminds me of your story, I supose. Ratchet having to choice to either joining his brethrean or defending the galaxy with his friends.
Also I can see Barge acting like Colonel Quaritch during The Great War.

I will definitely judge that for myself when I see it.
As it is..it may not suprise you how my story is inspired from many other movies and animes. I tend to borrow ideas from them. ;-3

Another nicely edited page. Sin is looking better than ever too, it's nice how you incorparated him into the story too though I wasn't surprised at all. Anyways, on to the next page hehe. Really nice work on this one though. ^_^

shinragod In reply to RatchetJak [2009-11-25 16:34:21 +0000 UTC]
Well there Is a reason why Sin is in this story. Writing Alister's back story will help me connect to the events about to happen in Immoral Flame. You'll see as the story progresses.
Yes...onto the next pages indeedy. And thank yous. ^__^

shinragod In reply to discosmackdown [2009-11-23 06:18:28 +0000 UTC]
I LOVe that one too. That's where I thought 'THAT'S it! I finally got young Alister RIGHT!!' XD XD Closeups really help I feel. And thanks. I'm very happy you think Ratchet's mother looks very pretty. =-3 You know, she might've married a stud like Sin instead if Sin didn't have a messed up childhood and was more fun. XD XD
Yeah...eventually Veldin will be intoduced i nthe story. Next up though is Krell Canyon. You can only imagine what scenario will be played out here.

Well barge is indeed ambitious. And sin has a strict up bringign with him.
But sin does what he says cause...Barge is pretty much the closest sin has to an actual father.
