Description The Emptiness Project

After trying to do a few sketches based on the new Alesana CD, I realized it would be in my best interest to fully design out my own style/version of the characters. So here they are, the preliminary stand-stills for The Artist, Murderer, Lover and Thespian.

The designs are hugely based on the characters presented in the official music video: [link] . And from here, I'm likely to tweak them out a little bit (I want to make Annabel's cape longer, some of the blacks on Thespian might get altered, blahblah) but these are essentially how I'll present them.

A bit of an explanation concerning the Murderer. He's not an official character from what I can tell from the written short from the CD, but he's a huge aspect of the story. He's essentially the Artist-gone-mad. This is as opposed to the Thespian who is merely a creation of the Artist's mind. There are tracks on the CD denoting four "THE" characters, of which the Murderer is one, and thus, I choose to use him as a separate visual entity. You don't care, I know.

The Emptiness, characters, images, story and concept all (c) Alesana, S. Milke, D. Lee and Fearless Records.

Oh, thank you! Though I'm sure a lot of people have their own renditions of the characters~ They're just too much fun really!

that is so fuqqin awesome...yet weird. lawl. About 30 minutes before i saw this i posted in my journal that i was going to do the exact same thing!!! i had the idea on the bus ride home when i was listening to the artist...but in my story the artist will be a girl, the murderer a man, the lover a man, and the thespians gender will be unknown. Annabel will be the heirarchy character sorta (like the character who is not the main one, but has power over all of them. sort of like a deity)

hehe. thank you. the artist is supposed to be this shy (but psychotic) girl whose left hand had been replaced with a fake one with pen tips for fingers (shich each have a dif color ink) and she has to have angel wings. shes afraid to walk on the ground because...ikd (i got that from the verse "As the ground vanishes i wonder, will the sky be the next for fail me?") i dont know how it will all end or come together though
