Sadame

"My magical epic fantasy side"

My first ever webcomic (unfinished) is entitled Apocalypse.

Unfinished because I had to do many revisions in character design and plot. Plus, I became quite busy that time and until now. -_-

Anyway, I would like to share how I come up with stories to write and mangas to draw.

I usually get it from music. Very good music.

X TV is one of the best fantasy animes I ever watched. From character design, plot, action sequence and background music, everything was well engineered.

One of its OST music is entitled Sadame (destiny). This one made a very huge impact in my head.

The soundtrack was so epic and dramatic that there was this scene that started playing in my head which until now, I cannot forget.

Okay, here's the point where you have to start tuning up your imagination engines.

Under a flaring bloody sky, the whole city was in chaos. Bolts of fire were thrown down from heaven. Buildings were falling down. The people were panicking.

Amidst the celestial war, I saw the Tokyo Tower firmly standing from afar. A teenage girl was held captive by two demons.

One angel came, whose hair was in shining yellow. He was wearing a golden armor. His wings were wide spread, displaying a glow of pure white. He carried with him a magnificent sword made of refined silver ore. On the blade, angelic alphabets were encrypted.

Black wings started appearing from the demons. With rage and fury, they flew towards the angel. The celestial battle began.

Without the demons knowing, a girl with long black hair sneaked inside the tower. She went up until she reached the captivated girl. She released her from her bondage. By the time they were about to go down, one demon spotted them. The demon flew towards them quickly. The angel tried to go after the devil but the other one was holding him down.

The girls went down as quickly as they could. But the captivated girl was pushed by the rushing demon. The poor girl being pulled down by gravity accepted her fate and closed her eyes. The angel, after beating down the other demon, rushed to save her. But he was too late. Her body broke the moment she hit the ground.

In his anger, the angel held his sword high and stabbed the demon that pushed her down. The demon's body exploded the moment the he pulled out his sword. He shouted loudly until the heavens opened up. A ray of light descended from the heavens. The loud noise created by the chaos piped down.

Thus the idea of Apocalypse was born. Until now, the elements of this vision are unclear. I am still working on how these characters would fit a good fantasy story. This vision is my ideal ending for the story.

Everytime I hear Sadame, it starts playing this "mind movie." The hairs from my body would stand. My heart jumps in excitement.

It might be long before I finish the comics. But I plan this scene to be my demo reel once I finish my 3D animation class. And I want the viewers to feel the same way I did when it was still just a concept.
