Vorred Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) Welcome, readers, to the land of Balfe Nui! Follow the amazing journey of a Toa team... but not an ordinary type of team you know. The Toa look like the Toa Nuva - except for their colors, which are all swapped. They have next to no memory of their past when they first awake at a strange, new land... This comic was made in 2012 and the dialogues/text boxes were rewritten in 2014. Is is the first installment in a comic trilogy, which follows the character's development in both skill, mind and their armor styles. Just click on the links below to read each page! Prolog: Awakening Chapter 1: Evidence Chapter 2: Nightfall Chapter 3: Formation Chapter 4: Conquest Chapter 5: Discovery Chapter 6: Destiny (Part 1) Chapter 6: Destiny (Part 2) Epilog: Departure I hope you enjoy! Made using: Sanyo Xacti S4 (camera), Comic Life 2, Gimp 2.8 and iPhoto Edited August 3, 2014 by Vorred 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boxorak the Azure Noob Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 (edited) Interesting. I'll have to keep my eye on this comic. Out of curiosity, did you cut up an Ignika to make that mask, or did you re-cast it or something?

Out of curiosity, did you cut up an Ignika to make that mask, or did you re-cast it or something? Great to have yet another follower! The custom mask is a cut and modded Ignika, that's right. It was one of those pieces I made many years ago which were still laying around, and even though it's not the best custom, I thought I could still give it some use.

-Windrider- Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I really like what you're doing with this. Comics have been called the invisible art because the story is told mostly through the space between the panels - and not through the panels themselves! Consciously or not, you have given each of these transitions just the right amount of "space" both to show what is happening, and to let the reader figure out the in-between. In other words, you've balanced the discrete and the continuous aspects of comic-making very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the things you mentioned were some I haven't heard from anybody before yet! It's great you took notice of that Good to have you along as one of my readers!

Boxorak the Azure Noob Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) ...yikes. Considering what just happened in the comic, does that mean that the story will be ending soon?

The next part will be the Epilog to this comic, yes. But there's much more to come. Uprising is only the first installment in the comic trilogy!

Vorred Posted August 3, 2014 Author Share Posted August 3, 2014 The final chapter, the epilog, has been released! Please tell me what you think This isn't the end of the comic. As I made the second installment a year ago, I just need to do a few adjustments for it to be ready to be posted here. Stay tuned! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
