Soooo, that meme thing? Yeah, still working on it. But I'm actually going to start posting them now, bit by bit.
So, here's the deal: each day in December was assigned a theme, and we had to do a lil sketch for each day. I believe the idea that we should use our own characters, or our friends, as the subjects.
So, I basically took the webcomic I've been working on, and sprite-ified everyone into a quicker-to-draw form. Hopefully, by the way, that comic will be surfacing soon, once I've finished the meme. Though I ended up liking the style so much I might change it over permanently.
The themes are/were:
1. Secretive
2. Love
3. Light
4. Dark
5. Angry
6. Pirates
7. Heaven
8. Outer Space
9. Sneaky
10. Hell
11. Memory
12. Insanity
13. Misfortune
14. Confusion
15. Silence
16. Swim
17. Adventure
18. Under
19. Castles
20. Music
21. War
22. Mother
23. Death
24. Lurking
25. Christmas
26. Shrapnel
27. Communism
28. Doom
29. Smile
30. Rain
31. New Year
I'll be posting them a few at a time, as I tidy them up.
There are five characters, all anthropomorphic personifications. In these sprite versions, they each have some sort of symbol on their shirts. There's War (sword), his girlfriend Insanity (double exclamation points), Confusion (question mark, of course), Death (Omega), and Doom (storm cloud). Basically, the idea is that they are all students, living on campus and working as their personification. Death and War are traditional Horsemen of the Apocalypse - the other two are floating around somewhere, and might pop up in the actual comic, but they don't appear in the meme.
I know everyone and their mother seems to use Death as a character these days, but it had to be done. I'm hoping I'll succeed in putting my own twist to the idea. Bear with me!
So... enjoy, and please comment!
