Voltie — she/her Posted 4 years ago ( 2020/05/15 21:19:42 )


This is a lil thread to show off a miniature project I'm doing for one of my classes.
Being that it was assigned this monday and is due this coming monday, it really is just a gross summarization of a story. When viewing the comic, view it solely in the perspective of a movie trailer where it doesn't really explain itself beyond the basic plot. While showing a bit of action and characters and drama lol BUT this is even shorter than a typical trailer because of time contraints!

That said, here's what this is all about:

I had to write a story about the Immune System. Sounds silly, just think Osmosis Jones or that one anime that I think does this for the... cardio system? I can't remember.

There are virus characters designed like this protag here. This is the very first concept of her, I don't know if I'll make the pupils like that in the end.. I was trying to make them look like virus shapes lol


In my next post I'll put spoiler for the other creatures to be explained~

The beasts~


Enzymes are bird things, dont ask questions


Then there are phagocytes.
The first one is a neutrophil, they destruct after eating invaders and turn into what we know as pus. I make a small point of this in the comic but it is not explained, since this is just a bunch of snippets anyway. I plan to explain the ideas in presentation because I suck at fitting it all into 5 comic pages ;A;


Then we have monocytes.
I designed a "fixed type". These do not move and simply catch invaders that pass by.
I did make the mistake of not adding tentacles to the design because of how my textbook describes the manner which monocytes grab onto things. But I'm not gonna fuss and redo it


Then natural killer cells



Ah I do worry that I might've taken too much freedom when designing all of this and that my instructor might hate it and I'll get all embarrassed... but the assignment's example talked about dwarves and shit that didn't even resemble the immune system, so I didn't have a lot to go off of

At last, here is the first page complete! This is where the virus is entering the body. Enzymes attempt to stop her but fail, and so the infection continues.
The atmosphere is dark and red, because I wanted to imply that the body is ALREADY infected by this virus (like, there are multiple characters of this same virus type that arrived before her) so the body/aka the land is going through a major heat wave and fires (inflammation and fever)



*edit*
I'll place the rest of the comics in this post, as suggested! <3

Annnnd page 3. Two more left xAx
I still have so much other homework to finish too, hope I can find time to tune these up and make them look a little better before monday evening

Also noting that Faerus' name is a play on word pronunciations
for the arabic word for virus. Random language choice cause I've been chatting with a friend from algeria for a few days now lmao little nod to them

Hey now. I love the simple art style you're using! It looks absolutely awesome.

Also: Looking forward to seeing the rest of this~<3

Oh, and it may be worthwhile to post 'em all in one post for easy finding later? Just in case this thread gets busy?

@kitalpha hart:
late response but I'm not sure yet! It'd be nice to take this up and turn it into a real comic or something
But I need to open up more free time for myself before I take a project like that on. maybe after I finish with my classes in a couple months c: that'll be like 20 hours of additional free time every week lol
