Artist's Comments
Finally got these four done! 8D Now to try to study for an exam and do the assigned environment at the same time, yay!
So the assignment was to create a character lineup composed of the following roles: Hero, Comic Sidekick, Villain, and Misc (or whatever you want for the fourth, basically). They also need an environment that they would fit in, as well as short character bios and a story to go with them. Here's my story for these four: Paye is a young man who lives in a nomadic herding tribe in Africa, content to do his part as a member of his tribe. His best friend and pet is a perky little cheetah named Karu, raised from cubhood. His people allow this, but are not entirely happy with the arrangement – after all, cheetahs are predators and known to hunt the flocks the tribe survives on. The time comes to move the herds to better grazing ground, but soon afterward, some of the livestock starts disappearing… two or three animals a night. By themselves they aren’t great tragedies, but things like this add up fast and the tribe depends on their herds for survival. It isn’t long before Paye is approached by the chief (Kitok), who tells him the tribe blames Karu for the lost animals and that he’s got to go. Paye refuses, and while Kitok is sympathetic, his hands are tied. The only way Paye can take the blame off his pet is to prove that something else has been killing their herd animals. And thus begins his journey… where he eventually finds that there is in fact a witch at fault. Her name is Imamba and she can summon animal demons, using them to possess predators which she sics on the herd. Paye demands to know why she is attacking his people - she claims this part of the grasslands as her own and is infuriated that the nomadic tribe has brought their herds to graze here. Paye tries to reason with her, saying that the earth belongs to no one person. The argument escalates until Paye loses his cool, threatening Imamba with war, now that he knows where she lives… of course she will have none of this and possesses Karu with a demon. The climax of the story, then, is Paye’s moment of decision – he has to figure out how to avoid getting killed and save his tribe’s livelihood… without having to hurt his beloved friend. |

let burn the flames and through the fire shall souls be cleansed, through suffering we know of joy. for without sadness how can one comprehend happiness? there would be no basis of comaparison and thus all emotions would be the same. a bland existance.
