Nice to meet you @Brumoss Elwood looks awesome, he a super badass hunk
his confident mischievous smile and your mix of squared and round organic shapes are awesome. The use of earthy tones browns, yellows and greens give me a post apocalyptical industrial feel. Pretty cool that playing games influenced and helped shape your OC.
yep all my projects started as videogame ideas, studied game design also so that helped me sharpen my skills too. It's only recently made the decision to make comics because it became easier to handle on my own.
The current comic I'M ̶n̶o̶t̶ A SICK BOY!
started as a game concept for an action- horror where the Player has an unusual condition that causes him to infect and mutate npcs that come within a certain range to him (think social distancing). Those infected instantly mutate into feral creatures and will try to eat the player. The infected also stack in multiples of five (think the creature in The Thing movie). Combined creatures increase in size, strength and game difficulty
Another symptom the player develops is the ability to control states of matter (liquid, solid, gas) something he'll learn to master overtime. The gameplay becomes a balancing act where the player has to avoid infecting too many npcs at once when trying to get between point A and B, rescue survivors without infecting them and stop intelligent enemies who share your abilities but instead enjoy spreading infection like a wild fire.
The narrative became one where a handful of people display unusual abilities after a strange Hum is heard one night. The story follows two brothers and a former assassin who unwillingly infect their town, and take responsibility to rescue any survivors. Their true enemy isn't the monsters but others with their abilities dubbed 'Sick Boys' who spun the situation into a grisly battle royale: kill and infect everything.
out of this the three MCs were spawned based on the states of matter concept:
Evan Moriarity - a boy who makes melee weapons from his saliva, he spits a lugie onto his hand
XD He is a homage to the RPG classes light swordsman and rogue.
Owen Moriarty - a boy who transforms into gas and can travel through porous surfaces to unlock locations assist with puzzles. He also acts like a Materia ((ff7) and can merge onto his allies and grant them other status/ augmented abilities, and he can teleport between his friends it they were in different locations. His powers are a homage to superheroes and status effect items.
and Xun- he can transform fully and partially into liquid, he can swat, smash and drown enemies. He also combines that with his martial arts. He can travel through some porous surfaces in liquid form, but Owen has greater reach as liquid has greater influence to gravity. He is a homage to fighting games
