Liane pre and post war.
I wanted Liane to feel a bit more androgynous during the war, specially since it's nearly a 10 year difference.
Portrait drawing of my Comic Character Liane Gott when she was in the great war, dressed on her military uniform. Short black Hair and brown eyes, mildly injured and bleeding on the face. Portrait of Liane in her late 20s well after the war, dressed in her black turtleneck, long black hair and an eyepatch on her right eye.

The last character in the original idea that hadn't had a proper newer piece of concept art. I added the text just as a lil flare.

The Passenger is the enigmatic figure you meet at the beginning of the game and kinda guides your first actions on it.

#art
illustration of a lanky large humanoid man, face covered in shadows, with red eyes looking at the viewer sitting at the top of a cement chair on the metro station. Yellow light bathing the area from a hole in the ceiling. Text says "Why me? I'm a passenger, just like you..."

So fetishistic how sexual, oh the humanity.

You wouldn't know a fetish if it hit you in the face.

The scene hasn't existed for 2 years, it's not in the game, it was, they thought it was the issue and they inmidiatly changed it understanding that it was too far. Mind you Steam never told them it was that, because they didn't said what it was at all. I mean ffs look how the scene looks now.

A big shift in the artstyle happens after chapter 5 because I feel that the limited shading wasn't working with me so I came up with a spoiler specific excuse for the artstyle to change so radically.

And these are 2 pages from chapter 5 and 6 where I am right now.
Comic page from Crow of Prey chapter 5 First panel shows the police car being hit in a silhouette flying on a red background. The Second panel shows the car turned to it's side and crashing on a lamp post, some people looking out. Several people say "Wh-what was that?! Did someone crash?! I don't know I was already fast asleep. Great fire! What was that noise?! Is that a cop car?! Someone call emergency!" Comic page from Crow of prey chapter 5 First panel shows Liane rather angry and dejected. Second panel shows Lorenz looking at her worried. He says "Sorry... I got... carried away, forget I said anything." Third panel shows Liane looking back to him. She says "Just, get to what you want me to hear." Fourth panel shows Lorenz tilt his head to signal to the back window of the cop car. He says "I need you to open the back window." Fifth panel shows Liane opening the hatch of the window. Lorenz says "Can't take my eyes off the road." Sixth panel shows a man with rather empty eyes looking up. Lorenz Says "HEY! I need you to repeat what you told me." Comic page from Crow of Prey chapter 6 First panel shows a dirt road with truck marks, a soldier with a bag on their hand and an officer ridding a drake. Someone is monologuing "Or so I told myself, the naive fool. I wasn't prepared, the years to come would carve the hell that was war into my soul." The second panel shows the soldier walking through the ruins of a town. The monologue continues "Millions would die, all for the bruised egos of nobility and the greed of warmongers. Under the banner of some fictitious honor and glory in battle." The third panel shows a row of dead people covered in fabric next to some damaged buildings. "There was little honor in all the devastation, the dead and the mourning." Comic page from Crow of Prey chapter 6 It shows a series of 5 panels on the same long angle shot from a dirt road looking towards a ruined town. First there is nothing, then a truck comes into view, stops at the edge of the panel, a soldiers comes out and the trucks goes away then lastly a drakes steps into the panel. A monologue goes "I should had known better. But, did I even have a choice at the time? My so called family had crossed the line. Even for them kidnapping my love and sending him to the war was too far. I was no longer going to be their caged cub. I would be dead to them one way or another another anyway."

The first chapters have the biggest difference since I made chapter on around 2022 before I took 2023 to work on A memory from Rotfront a Signalis fan comic.

2 Pages from chapter 3 and 4
Comic page for the comic Crow of Prey chapter 3 The first panel shows a forensic photographer. He says "At least it's not another dried up corpse." Second panel shows the photographer kneeling to take a photo from the crime scene, we can see the evidence markings and a body being covered. He says "Doesn't make it any less of a problem thought." Panel 3 shows a cathedral with fire motifs in it's glass window. The Photographer continues saying "A member of the Clergy, murdered. We are lucky the murdered wasn't an Elf." Panel 4 shows a lead pipe, the murder weapon. The photographer continues "There would be riots by the morning otherwise." Fifth panel shows a tanned skinned brown haired man in a police uniform, Lorenz Holst. He says "Tensions on the country are rising friends. Our city is a powderkeg, and there are too many sparks. The dried up corpses, black market guns, racial conflicts... Fire's sake." Comic page from Crow of Prey chapter 3 Page spread showing the character Regis Kurst, the wolf detective. Resting his back on a lamp post is a black man with thick dreads, sideburns that go low to the jawline a beard and yellow eyes with narrow pupils. Dressed in a brown long coat, he is taking his hat as he is talking. He says "Just as the league of nation's visit draws near. To me this doesn't feel like a coincidence. Mark my words." Comic page from crow of prey chapter 4 The first panel shows Lorenz getting out of his car in front of a stablishment guarded by two men in suits, one is a white man with his face obscured by his hat and the other an older black man with a white beard. Lorenz says "Hey, evening. Need to go in for a minute to get Liane." The black man says "Sure thing Mr.Holst." Second panel shows the door opening from above where we see the bell clinging and the top of Lorenz's head. Lorenz says "Glad that I was right to look for your here Liane." Third panel shows Liane look awful. Liane says "Hey... Lorenz." Lorenz says "Damn, Alexia what did you give to her?" Fourth panel shows an eagle eye view from the bar. Lorenz is walking in, Alexia a blonde haired woman in a suit with a blue tie has her arms crossed. A man is sitting a seat away from Liane looking down with a cigarette. And Liane is turning to look at Lorenz. Alexia says "Shut up Lorenz." Liane says "Why are you looking for me?" Lorenz says "I need the help of our best detective." Liane says "You do know I'm benched right?" Comic page from Crow of prey chapter 4 Page spread that show the city of Vermund at night. Lorenz monologues to himself "Was that priest part of the murders? It sounds outlandish but, his description... the case hasn't been leaked as far as we know. Dammit I need more information. I'll need to find that dog first thing in the morning."

So I went and studied a bit of coding with a crash course thingy and then I went on tutorials to create a third person controller for the game in godot.... I'm not like there yet but it's actually taking form, finally.
Screenshot from Godot showing the scripting for the camera controls. Screenshot from testing the camera in godot, shows my character in a black space with a grey wall in front of her.

The girl on the right has paler skin, black short hair, a dark red dress and a leather jacket. Behind them a third girl with long dark hair appears in the shadows. Drawing of a girl looking at herself in the mirror, she is in a hospital room, heavily injured with some blood transfusions. She is has a teal patient gown, covered in bandages and long messy black hair. Character design of a pale skinned girl with black hair, it's shown as long and messy and a more stylized shorter cut.

A casual long sleeves cream colored sweater and dark grey pants. A lavender long sleeves shirt and black skirt. A red dress with leggings, boots and a leather jacket. The same outfit as before but without the jacket. In the accessories it shows a smartphone and a pendant.

I'm also working on my own proper comic Crow of Prey, not published yet but I'm planning of starting a 2 page weekly publishing at the start of next year.

It's a secret world kind of narrative set in the interwar period following a detective that is a Veteran of the version of this setting's WWI.
Color illustration of Liane, early on in the war standing on the ruins of a town with her gear and bags on her looking towards the viewer. She has short black hair that is mostly hidden under her helmet, a long olive military coat, a gas mask on her chest, a rifle on her back, beige pants, black boots. White pale skin and dark brown eyes. The background are ruins but a church can be seen. The text on the side says - "The Great War It had been a scarce few months since the war started when I joined the army, not out of some patriotic desire to defend the fatherland, but to leave behind my family and find my partner that they had sent to the front lines using their influence. I changed my name,went as Liane Gott, while falsifying documents that would say I was at least a quarter elf, my goal was to enter into the 40th recon company, the company I knew he was. I felt as if a huge weight was lifted out of my shoulders when I discarded my old identity, I no longer would be tied to that family, but what a price I would pay for it. Everyone hoped the conflict would just be over by the winter of the next year at most. How naive we had been." Comic page preview Panel 1 Shows Liane leaning on the car window. Panel 2 Lorenz with a apologetic expression says "Sorry... I got... Carried away, forget I said anything" Panel 3 Liane closeup she says "Just get to what you want me to hear." Panel 4 Lorenz tilts his head towards the car's passenger screen in the police car. "I need you to open the back window" Panel 5 Liane's hand clicks the safe to open the window "Can't take my eyes off the road." Panel 6 Closeup to the suspect in the back of the patrol. "Hey! I need you to repeat what you told me."
