Drunna’s Tales - The Old Tower

Welcome to Drunna's Den!
Chapter 14 of the Dark Ascension storyline may take longer than expected as I have introduced some characters and story elements that caused some continuity 
issues with my original outline/plan. As I am currently shooting pictures and rewriting my original plan for Chapter 14’s Dark Ascension, I’ve also decided to create a second blog where I can post things related or not related to the Dark Ascension main storyline. This may include, other non-serialized stories, or just general thoughts. This hopefully will keep things fresh and prevent me from burning out writing the Dark Ascension series. 

 

 Drunna’s Tales - The Old Tower

I mentioned in my Dark Ascension Chapter 1 post, I was inspired by the "Picture Book: The Story Tellers" thread on Loverslab:

Link to “Old” Storytellers Thread

So, I would like to share some of my much earlier story screens. The picture files for “The Old Tower” story were dated September 27, 2015, so it seems it was maybe my first attempt in shooting pics for the purposes of posting on that thread.

 

Unlike my main stories, the pictures for "The Old Tower" will use basic comic panel layouts but not have any dialogue or captions. There is no nudity in this specific story. The screenshots of this story became the story concept for Dark Ascension’s Chapter 5: Secrets Under the Stairs

Oh, a new blog of yours? That one was easy to miss ^_^
Some good shots here ^_^ And recognizable style. Though something is missing... you know ^_^ 
Good work, anyway ^_^

That's a shit tone of rieklings! I assume there is a follow up entry planned? At least it looks like you set up for one ;) 

 

Could I suggest to make the frame black instead of white? I think black works better with the loverslab background and doesn't pull your eye/attention to in the way that white does.

-Yep new blog. I wanted to keep the Dark Ascension blog just for that serialized storyline. I felt if I added other stuff,  It’ll make it confusing to follow the main story posts.

-also, I can post things more often rather than disappear from the blogs for over a month.

Is this blog gonna be more is screenshots or side stories?

More screenshots, self contained stories (non-serialized), sharing or asking for ideas such. I didn’t want those posts to mixup the Dark Ascension story chapters.  If I start off my Star Wars setting story series, I would probably create another blog just for that serialized story.

-I wanted to tryout white borders to see what others think (which is another reason I created a new blog). I was reading several comics and noticed pros and cons regarding white vs black borders. 

 

-the comic “the old tower” were screenshots that took a long time ago. There wasn’t any follow up shots made after those  screens. Those screenshots  became early story ideas which eventually became Chapter 5 of Dark Ascension.  I wanted to share those shots (and a few others in upcoming posts)  to show some of the earlier concepts that eventually became Dark Ascension and my earlier screenshot techniques which hopefully has improved since 2015.

Yeah, it's noticeable that those were shot a long time ago 'cause you didn't actually show the action (strikes, being hit, moving and so on) being done, and so, without text to go with it, the narration (so to speak ^^) is quite choppy. Also reminds us how efficient is the layout you do usually use with Dark Ascension, as the white frames do IMO stick out a bit much on LL's dark background.

That being said, if that was your first attempt it was indeed promising, and for once didn't go were (her death) on could've expected it to (specially compared to chapter 3-4 of DA ^^). The blood effects and lighting were also quite convincing. So a good read overall. ?

 

Didn't know about "Picture book - The story teller" thread. It feels gloriously outdated though, but it's funny to see someone had and idea similar to what Alter and I had. I think Alter's more collaborative concept combined to my library proved more efficient though.

 

Speaking about libraries, you sneakily changed your main blogs' name for Dark ascension, and your new one retrieved the old name (I like your blog's header btw). I think LL autocorrects the links though, so no matter. :classic_biggrin:
