SPINE

After illustrating the Spine and Xeidj by a lake, I started thinking about making a comic book based in Warcraft Universe. The idea sounded fun at first. I would get to include my internet friends as comic book characters, and write about our adventures. I decided to start the story with this page of Spine skydiving out of her helicopter to fish in a lake. As you can tell, skydiving became the right way to introduce Spine. That’s what she does. She jumps out of airplanes, helicopters, pulls the chute and action starts.

I abandoned the idea of making a wow comic because it would end up being more like a documentary. It would also lack the idea of Spine in Stop The Rain. A flooded world was necessary for the story. Also, another idea I had was telling Spine’s origin story that begins in Turkey. Which wouldn’t work AT ALL with the WoW Spine. However, I still do like the idea of taking my wow friend’s names and putting them as characters. So, my goal was clear: I have to create a brand new world for Spine. A flooded world where she could exist in ancient Turkey, and sky dive off of an airplane and not worry about it. Blindknot became the answer. Here’s the first unfinished page of the WoW Spine:

PS: Tom was visiting Z and I from Colorado today, so I couldn’t draw. But I’m off tomorrow as well, so I’ll do the new page tomorrow.
