But now, I have lots of stuff to actually show you all, rather than a measly 1 or 2 drawings of chicken scratch.
I did quite a bit of "Blue Fire" idea sketches. Feeling pretty proud of myself.
Now if I can get to getting the plot/chapter breakdown, then I can actually start.
Now first off, some Eruti doodles. Again, it seems I'm trying to experiment with drawing styles. At the same time, I ended up making another unnecessary element to Asmod's demonic voice. Why would people freak out if his hair is unbound? Because he'd be known as the "Hell Star", and there's a demonic eye of the demon Asmodeus in the center of the back of his head. Which is why he needs to keep his hair bound in a ponytail. I had some fun with imagining his transition and loss of control over the demon.
And now some Blue Fire doodles. I was trying to get a feel for the phantom character (still no name), especially with him using fire or his club. I did some research on the mythological creatures for Korea. So far, not much. Just a lot of DoeKaeBi, Gwishin (ghosts/spirits), Gumihos (9-tailed fox), Spirits, and Shins (Gods). I have NOT found any "phantoms". The only close translation for phantom is...well...phantom ghost YuRyoung 유령. Oh and Fairies. I'm clearly making waaay too much backstory for this character.
Oh and there are dragons too. Dragons are a thing in almost any eastern culture. For this case, this giant snake is an Imugi, a proto-dragon. They're practically giant serpents that have yet to achieve the power and status of Dragons. They can become dragons by either 2 ways:
1) Survive a 1000 years
2) Attain a dragon's Yeouiju (an orb that contains the dragon's source of power).
Decided to find some way of making this phantom's BangMangYi (DoeKaeBi/demon club) extra cool. And yeah, it talks.
And this moleskin spread was an idea I had that I wanted to get out. Don't know if I'll use this. I know some people would scream Stockholm Syndrome, which is a really a mysteriously dangerous concept. Does YeoungHy enjoy being "married"? Probably not to this guy, who is almost an insensitive jerk most of the time. But I still want to make this a believable relationship, where they'd still care for each other. The phantom here is definitely in a vulnerable state while sleeping. It's one of those rare cases where she'd see him cry or show other expressions that are NOT apathetic or angry.
Some drawings I did at the Wolf Mountain Winery. This ugly prismacolor pencil drawing was done outside in front the vineyards. I wanted so badly to capture its beauty. But weather and heat didn't agree. Also, I'm quite horrendous with color. And sorry for the horrible cameraphone photo.
A half-finished drawing in brush pen that I couldn't finish. I didn't have the chance to use my grey brush pens. And that's what the the right page was for. I hope to get better with using those brush pens.
