Hey all! Sorry it's been so long since my last update. Things have changed quite significantly on my end. I'm back to work, at long last. Though it's not an art job, it seems like it'll be a lot of fun, a real challenge, and I'm really looking forward to learning more there. Also, one of the biggest perks is that it's very flexible, so I'm still able to pursue my true interests. To that end, I've decided to dredge up an old character of mine and breathe some new life into him.
I had this story, years ago, about a caste of demons living in the suburbs of Hell. See, my idea was that the 9 nine circles of Hell we know and love. Think of the circles as the industrial section of Hell, and this story would take place in the residential part of the netherworld. This is Stray. He belongs to a caste of demon who spend their entire existences looking like children. They're viciously carnivorous and frighteningly pretty. The largest population live in the Hell ghetto of Arcade: a vast, bleak warren of twisting alleys and filthy tenements, packed suffocatingly-close together. The entire district is in a constant state of revelry, caught up in endless childrens games that lie uneasily between merriment and warfare. The streets are littered with trampled candy and soiled bandages, and forever patrolled by hungry packs of razor-toothed children, their eyes gleaming with predatory coldness.
I still think this idea's fun. I should try and rework some of the other characters I had from this.
More to follow shortly...
