An untitled Skyworld fancomic (by me)
Dec. 16th, 2012 12:55 amSkyworld is a Filipino comic in English, about what might have happened if monsters took over the Philippine islands.
The second half is pretty post-apocalyptic, sci-fi fantasy.
The setting is a refugee camp, a walled citadel, where magical creatures and humans hide from the aswang (the monsters), their enemy.
The idea is this: the camp is full of people who are working hard to survive, and to live as well as they can while outside the walls of their citadel, evil creatures crave their flesh.
The character is a girl in love with a Tikbalang, a horse-headed creature with a tall, strong man's body, who protects them from the aswang.
This was something I did as therapy, to relax when I was feeling down and out, and I think it turned out pretty good.
Five pages out of ten, sketch only, no text.
The basic rundown of this part is that the character, Rose, trains herself to kill aswang in an attempt to be more useful. On one of the sweeps outside the citadel, the tikbalang Makabo (with a machine gun arm, yes, he exists in the original comicbook) and his partner are able to rescue a few survivors outside the camp.



Also, flashback--why Rose cares about Makabo.


End flashback.
I dunno why I'm posting this. Show and tell? :)
