For the past couple of years I've been wanting to try out a new kind of project concept for my art, a collaboration of sorts. An old friend of mine who I've known on Deviant Art since my high school years has had this character, a half human/half wolf character named Kerii and she didn't really have a story behind her so I kinda wanted to change that.


This is how she was originally drawn in her human form by creator and friend, Kelly.

With the story I provided, Kerii exists among other human/animal hybrids in a populated land called Cyanderhil and she vows to protect a flower called the crystal bud, a special flower that blooms once every few hundred years and grants sage-like power to a person who drinks dew that has fallen inside of its bulb. Kerii being a curious child does so and goes on a pilgrimage to learn the ways of her duty as a sage while she goes on adventures as she slowly grows up.




Concept art provided for the project

By bringing some of my friends together, I thought it would be a neat Idea to have certain chapters of the story done as comic panels with voice acting added in. On a side note, I wanted to give the series the same feel as 2003's Teen Titans cartoon, where some episodes had a lighthearted side to them with humor, and later episodes were more serious including character arcs. I don't know how successful I can make this be, but I've had high interest in making it possible for the amount of time I've put it off. What do you guys think?

I say go for it, dude. It's better to try and have it fail than to not try at all, in my opinion. And I have no reason to believe you'll fail. You seem to have a specific vision you want to pursue with the writing and you definitely have the artistic skill for it. All you need now is the work ethic and commitment..

The women of New Vegas ask me a lot if there's a Mrs. New Vegas. Well, of course there is! You're her. And you're still just as perfect as the day we met.

here's a possible teenage design for kerii, she's converted to a goth lifestyle while having a more carefree personality as she's matured.

What about The Kerry Project

It's basically exactly the same comic idea as yours, but the main character is John Kerry

I mean, yeah. Who wouldn't want to read a comic about themselves?

@echidna: LOL He’ll never live either of those down. I guess he can always say he’s married to the Ketchup Queen so... hey that might make a good comic book fight; John “Lurch” Kerry vs. Ketchup Queen
