this is my latest work, although I've had this idea around for like, 10 years! It just woundn't go away, so I've kept plugging away at it. I've always wanted to do a sci-fi and I like the drama of the characters in this story. About 5 years ago I did a lot of work and finished about a third of the story as an example to hunt down a publisher. I didn't get anywhere with it. later on I learnt a lot about the importance of the background image in Anime and I felt I didn't do any real 'set design' in my first attempt of this story. I had the idea that I could combine 3d images for backgrounds and I new I had the ability to do it, and I haven't seen many people doing this out there besides -red star. (not that I read much comics compared to a lot of people) This is influenced by the Star Wars Manga a bit but shows a lot of my own tastes over the years and other manga I'd like to aspire to.
I've actually finished all of the inking for the hand-drawn characters but I still have heaps of 3d work to do- so it's probably not a viable way to work with comics- but I'm aiming on seeing it through and hoping to get it published and translated into Japanese one day.

no I just meant the website where I'm displaying the comic online. but I just realised I forgot that I've posted the whole comic here as well (except for the newer last page I haven't put up here yet)
You mean like a tutorial?
hi, I drew the characters trad. and I created the backgrounds in 3d:) I've put the rest up at prodigal.mdhayden.c o m if you're interested in a read. I still havn't finished it. I wish I had some other artists to work with so I should hang out on this website more and see what people need help with
did you do all this on a computor? or traditionally?
