Hi, anything relating to Storyshift: Something Alternate will be put on pause or cancelled. This means the comic, and any animations/animatics I was working on.I lack the motivation and energy to continue with it currently, and when I do have energy I’d just rather work on other things.

For those that care, I had a few pages already done and I will post those later, maybe even expose the script and share what plans I had for it. It’ll be back eventually, I just don’t know when

Reference sheet for Chara, It took a couple of days, but I got it done. I also have more pages coming out, but things have been a bit slow since my laptop broke.

Chapter 2 1/?: For the very thing Death could love.

The Tree of Mortality was the most important tree for the real importance of the lower-realm. The importance of life and death to thrive for the existence of mortals. A Heaven and Hell would need to be set in order for the balance of all higher sentience in the lower-realm. In this, two guardians would be born in order to set out the tree’s purpose. Ankou, the Guardian of Death, and Vida the Guardian of Life.  The realm from which these two guardians resided in had happened to be dominantly expressive for Vida; gardens, forests, small animals, larger animals, etc. Ankou found nothing in wanting to express the epitome of his own sorrow by covering the lands in charred ash. Nothing in this realm was immortal besides the two. Everyone there would be in their own heaven or hell and not brought into the same heaven/hell that Ankou and Vida had controlled in the lower realm. This world was an Eden like most of the other Concept Trees. Ankou protected the world and Vida nurtured it. In the midst of the time they had lived there, Vida and Ankou had grown closer and closer among the years. Ankou and Vida would later amongst this time have ten children together. Each one of these children were unique in their own aspect. They were also granted powers of their own that Ankou and Vida would help them control. These powers were extensions of Ankou and Vida’s own. Depending on the child’s divine soul, they’d be granted a power to replicate their parents. For example, a child who cared for the animals rather than attempting to fight them, would have an extension of Vida’s own power. One of these children growing up had been a unique boy named Abimelech. He didn’t pester himself to try and connect with the rest of the children as they never sought him out to go play with anyways. He was always alone in his own room or against a wall reading a book whenever he was brought out forcefully. As he continued to grow up, he knew that he had barely existed to anyone there. It was unfair that he had to live out a life that he had to choose for himself. He knew that even if he was gone, nothing would change for anybody. Though, despite this, he was the most docile of all the children. The one thing that would get him to leave was a crow that always seemed to come to his window sill. This crow, even though he knew it lacked real intelligence, was the only being besides his mother that would actively seek him out to just be around. It could be because he gave it his food sometimes he always thought, but he knew he shouldn’t be thinking about that thought for this crow. He would go outside every now and then and would follow the crow. He learned how simple life truly was and how fragile it could be. He learned that the crow struggled each day to keep itself up yet it still chose to be near him. As he grew older, he would be forced to learn how to fight for himself. Ankou began to assemble all the children together (mainly the boys unless the girls chose to participate), to begin to learn how to use their powers to defend others and themselves. Ankou was among one of the strongest if not THE strongest guardian there had been to exist due to his importance. No other guardian would ever de-test Ankou as they knew his strength. So, you could say that these kids were somewhat blessed to have such a formidable teacher. Abimelech was one of those children who knew that in order to achieve anything he needed, he needed the strength to do it. His problem was that he had no purpose in this strength as he had no sole reason for even being here besides the crow. The crow had taught him everything he knew just by guiding him outside the palace that all the children took their stay in. Ankou had noticed this for a while but never acted on it due to his growing curiosity for his own child. 

One of those days, Abimelech wouldn’t see the crow ever again. It never came back to him to see where he was, to see if he was crying, or to see if he was happy. Abimelech had thought that the crow must’ve passed away that day. He didn’t know how the crow did die too, maybe that was what left the biggest mark on how he thought about his life. Those who cared for him even if they never said it directly would vanish without a trace or true reason that he knew, nothing had been his fault, he never made mistakes, but it always seemed to all lead to him at the end of the day. Ankou noticed Abimelech’s growing depression and would take him personally to visit the lower-realms. Ankou was  unable to express his own emotions as he found it hard, so he stood silent for most of that time that he was with Abimelech. Abimelech never knew of these lower realms, he only knew the forest and the palace he grew up in.  His view of everything changed, he saw everything he knew about life from the crow but infinitely larger. He saw the stars, planets, he saw love, hardship, death, etc. He saw everything. He was jealous but thankful that he wasn’t in the lower realm. He didn’t know what to think of it, he didn’t know why his father would even show him the lower-realm in the first place. Was it to show that one small death shouldn’t change him? Was he supposed to be inspired off of other people's lives? None of that was ever answered to him like most things. Yet, he noticed one thing. That most of all suffering that came to intelligent creatures, was from emotion. War, love, break-ups, fights, etc. They all committed each action based on what they desired or how life shaped them. They were all learning rats in a giant system that no matter how hard they tried to escape, they were always shaped by it one way or another. The clashing forces between good and evil in these worlds were shaped by the past of the people who fought. Abimelech’s father told him one thing though, that everything was shaped by another no matter where you were or who you were, and if you believed that making everything in your own view would change the sorrow in your heart, you’d be wrong, there would be nothing except for you in a world only based by you.

A comic update!

These are the last few pages I drew right before my laptop broke, it should be getting fixed soon, and then I’ll get right back to working on it, along with a prequel and side stories.

[storyshift-somethingalternate]

I drew killershift chara in a christmas sweater for december, it was originally just meant to be a Christmas profile picture for my discord, but I ended up really liking how it turned out.

Comic script is getting rewritten, but I’ll upload the last few pages i’ve done later today or tomorrow.

[storyshift-somethingalternate]

Hey, sorry that I've been a bit behind with the comic, I planned to have alot more of it done by now, but I've been slacking on the script and doing the art for it. The only art I ended up doing was a few KS!Chara drawings that had nothing to do with the comic 😭

I also ended up working on a reference sheet for KS that I was gonna post, but I think it looks horrible now, so I'm gonna remake it. I've also been doing some animation tests and might make some animations for this AU. Anyways I'll have some of the comic out before this week is over with, and I'll try to get more done.

Hi hi, I made a server, it’s totally really cool. Anyway here it is

Nothing special just a server I originally made for my comic, it's also kind of a hub I guess | 12 members

based off this text post lul :]

[storyshift-somethingalternate]

So the first few pages are done, and I'm somewhat proud of it! I've mainly been writing lore bits and the script for the comic and I've been busy with irl stuff, so yeah, really sorry about take forever on these basic few pages. I'll definitely try to have out a lot more this month, along with little extra lore drops, extra art, and a reference sheet for Chara!

[storyshift-somethingalternate]

Here's a drawing I cooked up late at night! More pages for the comic are coming soon, I had to redraw and panel alot of stuff differently so that sucks, but hey it wasn't too bad. I'll probably end up posting alot of drawings in-between comic page releases just to feed whatever little community I have. I'm also cooking up a discord server so look out for that!

[storyshift-somethingalternate]

Finally posting on here! Here’s a W.I.P page one of the comic, it took me awhile to start this but i’m pretty passionate about it and telling my version of this story! Stay tunned for more!
