White Rose:White Rose is my entry in SMALL PRESS IDOL 2009! It's a fantasy series/graphic novel project that I've been plotting, scripting and doodling in my spare time since 2004. I did some preview pages, and launched this Comicspace in '07. But it really got serious this year when I entered Idol on impulse in March. If you like the project (check it out in the galleries), you can vote for it by buying Issue #0 BEFORE 8/31!Click the banner below to purchase either the PDF version or printed version:  Also check out The White Rose Facebook Group! And my blog at: http://stormborn.com/whiterose/More on The White RoseThe character was inspired in part by two quotes: "In the driest whitest stretch of pain’s infinite desert, I lost my sanity and found this rose." ~Rumi and... "What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other word would smell as sweet." ~ Shakespeare -- From Romeo and Juliet (II, ii, 1-2) Story Premise: In our world, we think of a person as composed of three things - Body, Mind and Soul In the world of the White Rose, there is a fourth thing: the Name. To Name a person is to have power over them. To steal their Name is to gain that power. Memory is linked to the Name. But it’s not the ordinary memory inside one person’s mind. It’s the Memory of the Name itself, of everything that person ever did, and everyone they ever met - to steal a person’s name is to effectively wipe them out of collective Memory - it’s as if they never existed… This belief in the power of Names is widespread, but the dark rituals allowing Names to be stolen are the stuff of myth and legend. Just as every child learns to fear the bogeyman, name thieves are the inhabitants of their bedtime stories. The truth behind these tales has been lost to time… until now. After surviving a horrific attack on her village, a young woman wakes with no memory of her Name; in fact no one else in the village can remember it either. It seems she is the victim of a forgotten magic… somehow, during the attack, someone has stolen her Name. They call her the White Rose, but she is determined to get her true Name back, and she’s not going to let anyone stop her...

I really like your "emotions in ink exercise." Would like to see it extended into a wordless sequence of perhaps 8 pages.  1 Reply [ Latest posted on August 10th, 2009 9:36 AM ]

Thanks! MA still the same, weather unpredictable as always, and yes Newbury Comics still alive and well, although they don't sell many actual comics anymore... |
