Cloud Wake Concept Dump

Description

A couple of days before I'd posted my last sketchdump, I'd revisited a few characters whose faces I hadn't seen in a while, and I was kinda sad, because none of them really had a home. And one of them, Hiken, who some of my older watchers might remember, was among them--I'd always had this really strong love for his story, and I still somehow wanted to tell it, but I really didn't feel like doing another comic.

The morning after I said that I didn't feel like doing another comic, I accidentally started development for one. And it started developing really, really fast. When I say fast, I mean getting enough information together in such a short time that its development level pretty much matched where I'd had Driven at the time (which had been in active development for about six months. This came together in about six days). And it was also a perfect opposite to Driven. I made a list. It's a perfect opposite in every regard.

I'd ended up more or less revamping Hiken entirely--the only thing that really stayed was his first name and his general concept. Face changed, personality changed, plot changed. And I have an awful lot of recycled characters in here, too--most of them never really got light in my gallery. The only one anyone might recognize is Vilem, except here he isn't a fish.

So I've been contemplating whether or not to release this alongside of Driven, as they foil each other so well that it'll have me drawing a huge variety of things at one time that'll let me improve a lot more aspects of my art and keep me interested all the time. I'd planned to do bi-weekly updates for Driven, but then I thought--what if I instead do one page a week for both series? I'm still stuck on whether to do it, but I'm really thinking I might, because I really REALLY love the story and characters, just as much as I love Driven's.

So have a dump of a lot of my concept art for it o / Also, yes, it's called Cloud Wake. Feel free to inquire.
