Dystopia Chapter 2, Page 15

Midwife, aborted Page 15


From the continuing webcomic series Dystopia: Chapter 2 - Midwife, aborted Page 15. Angie and 8244, midwives dressed in light blue body suits and bright white battle masks have fought their way to the "Ophan". In an expansive chamber with vaulted ceilings, the Ophan dominates the space… A towering, cylindrical machine lined with three rows of pods that line the exterior circumference of the cylinder. Encased within each pod of the mechanical structure is a human figure restrained and physically connected to the machine. Angie approaches one of the "supplicants" secured upright to machine, metal restraints around his wrists. His body is thin and veiny, and we can see energy streaming from their eyes. The supplicant screams in a combination of rage, confusion, and pain as energy continues to emit from their glowing red eyes. As Angie approaches the Ophan, their vision is increasingly obscured by digital distortion and a nefeshim comes into the picture. The flying sprite-like creature turns to face Angie revealing a thin, boney body and a head with one large green eye.

Chapter 02: Midwife, aborted – Page 15

Page Notes: This time around we offer up some interesting reveals. Angie gets up close and personal with one of the supplicants that are secured to the Ophan. After several pages of magical energy trails and colorful wings, there's a closer look at the flying sprite-like Nefeshim. Offscreen, 8244 engages with the Ophan Guard, and the action ramps up over the next handful of pages. I'm excited for you to read them.

Creative Notes: I'm working on the final details for two remaining pages of Midwife, aborted and will begin working on the page layouts for Chapter 3 in the coming week. Jackwraith continues to conjure new characters and themes and I can share that the third chapter will be (surprise!) a unique experience. I've walked through the script three times to get a feel for the characters and settings before starting the conceptual art. Meanwhile, Jackwraith has been busy working on script for Chapter 4. Collectively, we're finding a good flow to the creative process that is enjoyable as well as productive - See you in a week.
