Wilson's Entertainment Story
Just flushed out my story earlier today. In an actual story format! :D
ACT I:
Awaken the Being to a World Long Lost,
What he holds his own, only his body and soul,
With naught but this Tale in mind,
He sets afoot to find his story in time.
Along his travels he did cross,
Many strange lands and species that were.
Others join him in his journey,
Eager to have their share in his story.
A Feline most curious (and mischevious no less),
A Maid with the wrench of her father,
And one other Being, much like himself.
Together they traverse a Great Forest,
And across a Grassy Canyon expanse,
'Til they reached the edge at the Sea of Sand.
ACT II:
Across the Desert our Heroes crossed,
'Til the Desert Heat they could bear no more.
At the edge where the Fiery Sands began,
Our Heroes beheld in awe,
An Ancient Pirate's joy, his love, his Valor!
Fueled by the Desert Fire,
The Pirate's joy did soar,
Til it could go no more past the Burning Mountain.
ACT III:
Within its Depths,
The Giant holds a Secret very dear.
At the foot of the Mountain's Graceful Fall,
The Heroes will find the Door,
To the World, Lost and Hidden beneath,
Where our Heroes find a Familiar Face.
First one, then three, then as many as an entire Race!
Together our Heroes discover its secret Treasure,
And thwart the plot of an Evil Lot.

Anti-hero
instead of a b-boy's common association with spinning and flipping, i decided to use the symboll and overall concept of "infinity"... um,i know we need two pages per character, one having our ideas and rough concepts, and the other having a single large drawing plus swatches of influences... but were we supposed to do final "sillouettes" for the second, or more detailed renderings?
