About Me... and What I'm About to Bring to The Table.
Hi guys :) My names Elianna, or Ellie for short. This is my art account, and for now I'll be promoting my current project: To The Ends of The Earth: Prologue. Which will be about a 16-page comic serving as a prologue to a much bigger series in collaboration with @ammstify !
I'm 22 and I use she/they pronouns. I'm a big video game and comic fan!
WHAT IS "TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH?" The general story is a travel and eldritch horror, which represents themes of ostracization and the struggle of self-expression (especially when queer and/or neurodivergent), codependency, forging your own destiny, and emotional maturity.
This story takes place in 2002, America, and follows two protagonists:
Morgan (27, he/they): A mellow optimist who lives life on the road with his old cat, Belladonna (named after a pornstar, not the poison).
Though once confident about his independence and queer identity, Morgan meets a new "friend" that takes away what makes him *him*.
He dies alone from a copperhead bite but is brought back to life hours later by an organic, eldritch parasite who creates a manipulative and codependent relationship with Morgan to keep them both alive. Though he's no longer dead, Morgan starts to struggle with what was once his greatest strength.
Dominic (25, he/him): A closed-off, forlorn ex-mechanic, who lives by himself far from family, stuck in a depressing hustle and bustle city life. He's soft-spoken, a bit pessimistic but thinks he's a realist, and is well-meaning but loves to cover it up with a tough act.
His life turns on its head after encountering Morgan late one night in the streets of Boston, Massachusetts, giving him a much needed change. Dominic holds a major key in the hidden plots surrounding their meeting, quite literally inside him. Unbeknownst to the both of them, their meeting was, indeed, not on accident.
He joins Morgan on his journey, and throughout it, relearns what it means to live, to be confident in himself, and to open up.
This prologue only stars Morgan as the protagonist and his origin with the main antagonist: Bel, an eldritch parasite. While on a road trip in the middle-of-nowhere Washington, Morgan gets bit by a copperhead snake and dies in a grimy bathroom by himself. Hours later, he wakes up thinking he just passed out. But later that night while camping in the forest, they're greeted by hallucinations of the thing that saved him.
WHAT YOU'LL SEE FROM ME!
I'll be posting updates on my progress for the completion of this prologue! That includes what the characters look like, some of the pages in progress, and more. By the time I finish it, you guys will be able to view it on itch.io!
I'll probably make a secondary art account for fun. And there you will see me talk about my favorite stuff outside of my personal stuff. Such as.... Trigun, allll of Red Dead Redemption, FNAF, Resident Evil, and more!
