Hey guys!
My name is Bence and I have been writing a story since the start of 2023.
It is currently titled "Ethos", but this is subjected to change!
The goal before summer is to create a sort of "one-shot" of the first 1-2 chapters of the story to measure up the stories reception in hopes of serialization.
-
Setting: Veloria - A city where technology and Essence seamlessly merge. Essence is a mystical power that binds the fabric of reality, accessible to those attuned to its mysteries.
-
World Visual: Envision a vibrant urban fantasy, where sleek tech meets ancient magic. The cityscape is a canvas of neon lights and shadowy enclaves, symbolizing the dual nature of Essence—a force of both creation and destruction.
-
Plot:
- Alex, a local youth, accidentally merges with Mira, a being of powerful essence with a hidden agenda.
- Their fusion sets them against Umbra, an organization exploiting essence for nefarious purposes.
-
Conflict:
- Alex and Mira navigate their fused existence, mastering Essence to challenge Umbra's grip on Veloria.
-
My Contribution:
- Responsible for the complete story creation, including detailed world-building and character development. (Note: I welcome constructive criticism to refine and enrich the narrative.)
- Supporting the artistic vision with storyboarding and initial sketches, despite modest drawing abilities.
- Commitment to providing exhaustive character and setting descriptions, ensuring the artist has a vivid blueprint of Veloria's unique world.
-
The artist's responsibilities:
-
Line Drawing:
- Create clean, precise line art that captures the intricate details of Veloria's urban fantasy setting and its inhabitants.
-
Coloring:
- Apply vibrant colors that reflect the dynamic contrast between Veloria's technological brilliance and the mystical essence that permeates the city.
-
Character Design:
- Collaborate on designing diverse characters, ensuring their visual representations align with detailed descriptions provided, highlighting their unique connections to Essence.
-
World Visualization:
- Bring to life the city of Veloria, from its neon-lit streets to shadowy enclaves, illustrating the blend of modernity and ancient mysticism central to the story.
-
Adaptability:
- Work flexibly from references and maintain consistency across various scenes and characters, adapting the visual style as the narrative evolves.
-
Communication:
- Maintain open lines of communication about project limitations, scheduling, and creative input, ensuring a collaborative and productive environment.
-
Deadline Commitment:
- Demonstrate the ability to work within set deadlines, managing time effectively to meet project milestones. (It is not very strict in the beginning, but this can change depending on reception of the project and maybe upcoming serialization)
-
Required software:
- Main software will be anything that handles PSD files, as I primarily know and work in Photoshop.
- Communication will be done mainly on Discord.
Payment:
One time payment for this project is up for discussion. Since I am only a guy, my budget is not like a big studio, but we can come up with something after discussing the details. After the projects serialization I am planning to switch to a revenue share plan with the artist(s). We'll talk about the details through Discord.
I hope we can talk about the potential of this story and collaborate with wonderful artists.
