CAPTOR [24]

I wanted these few pictures to have their own blog entry because it's something I'm actually kind of proud of for once. During the recent hurricane and nor'easter, and being out of power for fourteen days, I decided over that time, I would try to catch up a bit and concept more new characters or add onto plot of some of the comics I'm working on. Although, I didn't really have to do that with Captor, I did end up filling in a pot hole in part of the unexplained story and made it kind of make sense. The above image is a bit more morbid looking than his usual self, but this is a character who goes by the name Circus. He'll be seen in Captor in later chapters, but just as a hint as to what he is... well, it involves something which is known as a tulpa, or thought form.

It's a little complex to explain, but once it's shown more throughout the comic one will understand better.

Asides from adding onto story and plot, I also did a few "comic practice" things, or really, just parts of the story I wanted to really draw out ASAP and see how they looked on paper. I want to do them more often, and it'll be worth it to look back at what it was previously to what it made in the final cut. Some of them might not even make it, but that's the only sad part. So here are the two I did thus far.

This one shows the first interaction between Rob and Zane. It kind of opens up a bit on Rob's past, which is basically shadowed throughout the entire comic and you don't hear much about it.

This one, however, cracks open more of the theme of tulpas and mental disease I'm toying with in the comic. There is German in the comic, and I'll post up a sheet that I wrote with the majority of translations. Not many are hard, like FICK means FUCK. Others are a bit trickier, like SCHEIBE [which I spelt wrong on the paper] means SHIT, SIE means HE, and then there's other terms that no one who doesn't speak the language could guess, like WEGGEHEN means GO AWAY. A few other German curses will be tossed around A LOT within the comic. So even if it's not entertaining to you, you get to learn a few new terms.
