Update: while the comic is guaranteed to never be finished, I added another art piece. I apologize for how wonky the code makes it to view. Actually, I apologize for how oddly this project works in general. How rushed does the piece look? ㅠ.ㅠ I want a messier colouring/rendering style but I KNOW I'm too much of a perfectionist. This is the best I can do. Space to see the magazine cover again, 1 to hide it. Use full screen for a better experience. Should I win morute, Mary shall become her name, and I'm thinking of 'morute' becoming the name of a magazine whatever thing. Te comic is NOT finished, so I wrote like 1000 words for you to read. The second page is uncoloured and I haven't had time for a third. The comic is about how that picture of Mary came to be (however it was reused for this magazine). I HAVE WRITTEN A FULL BACKSTORY FOR MORUTE↓ Man I should explain Kiro lore and stuff.. there's ★ s o m u c h ★ But I don't wanna make a whole scratch project when no one's probably gonna care lol. Should I make one? Here's a brief summary of my world, Hypothesis (yes, I understand what 'hypothesis' means. I made the name when I was eight and I thought it was cool ㅠ.ㅠ it's too late now. I've been calling it 'hypothesis' for years): ★Hypothesis★ In the year 2018, a scientific accident led to the creation of the first kirovorgun (kiro); creatures that often resemble mythical beings. Kept secret for 26 years, their creation was welcome and development was continued, with scientists creating nearly five thousand kiro by 2044. These beings were often designed to reflect mythical figures based on the majority of the ethnicities of the labs where they were created. However, in 2051 the most powerful kiro created broke free, beginning a 4-day genocide that led to the extinction of humankind. Earth was renamed Hypothesis by the new kiro ruler, as a way to mock humans by using an english word while suggesting a hopeful future for kiro. As Hypothesis was derived from Earth, the land is similar but many changes could have occurred due to scientists also mutating plants to create different species, testing on different pieces of land, and the kiros’ existence, creating their own habitats. Continents are renamed– such as Europe becoming Silix, the most populated place in Hypothesis and home of the new emperor and his empire, Ariskis. After the extinction of humankind, kirovorgun rapidly multiplied and magic became one of the norms. Gems were found to contain energy that would give power, and when scientists used them in the creation of kiro they would gain magical abilities. These gems could also be fashioned into charms that would give the wearer the same (if not a little weaker) abilities. Depending on the continent, some kiro were raised in a “kill or be killed” environment and a brutal order was established everywhere, though it can be considered more tame in places. This is what has become of Earth. ★ That's Hypothesis. The main story follows an OC I have named Ace, who lives in a small city encased by a protective barrier. When his forest home burns down and he escapes, meeting civilization (at this time, the idea of 'kill or be killed' has weakened) makes Ace realize that he is very odd. He knows a human dialect rather than kiriya, the kirovorgun language, and has to be taught the ways of the world ETC ETC I think you get the gist of it. NOW, FOR MARY.. hehhehehehehhehe Mary was one of the first kiro to be created by scientists. The very first that they used a gem in while creating. Red amethyst, to be exact. This, combined with the usage of genetic splicing techniques of your average maine coon's DNA, gave her the pink fur of a cat and ruby-coloured eyes. Her power? Unknown. Only the scientists would've known what the red amethyst would have done, as that specific type of amethyst is quite unpredictable. And those scientists are long dead. The first kiro to break free (named A) was from a nearby facility to Mary's, thus making her one of the first liberated. Because of this, Mary quickly became A's right-hand man. Or, what others would say, 'puppy', despite physically being a cat. Mary is played. She does the majority of A's dirty work for those four days of genocide. Rather than from love, it's from 'finding a new master.' Whatever those scientists did, Mary was some sort of slave within the lab, always willing to do what is ordered of her. What is Mary doing now, hundreds of years later? Has she snapped to her senses? Nah. She's gone mad. 68 kiro killed within 6 hours. What is Mary planning? HAHA FREE TRIAL IS OVER. IF YOU WANT MORE I NEED MARY MWAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAHAHAHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAA (unless you didn't like it.. ... ... .... ... ... ... why woulc you read this far if you didnt likei t...
