渡鸦之翼

Wings of The Ravens

    Okay, I finally decide to introduce my project "渡鸦之翼" here on Tumblr as well. If you have talked to/discussed with me about it or if you've seen my works on other platforms, you probably know some info already. I also include some simple info of "how I think/work" when working on the project in this blog. 

     And I am sorry for the grammar mistakes and sorts of problems here! 😂

     渡鸦之翼, the current English translation to it is Wings of The Ravens (WOTR for short). It's not really the name of the AU, instead, it's the title of the graphic novel / project. But regarding the title as the name of the AU is more convenient for me to mention and talk about it. 

     It's inspired by TUE, but definitely NOT about TUE. DP is a PG-13(FV) show, and what I'm writing is a graphic novel (probably PG-13 or PG-14), so there're lots of differences between the AU and the origin in many aspects. I am doing my best to make the AU reasonable, with a set of rules that make sense (hopefully😂) in some ways. In addition, I don't follow every rule and don't use many of the concepts from DP. I tend to make WOTR feels more… original, but still recognizable, which really requires a lot of effort and devotion. 😂

     Apart from expressing my love towards DP, I also want to learn and take a deeper look at drawing, fiction writing (story telling), translation, as well as practising the skills related. I will convey my opinions on many things, discuss problems/ topics about life, nature and so on. And this is a good chance for me to communicate with various people… Another important thing is that working on WOTR helps me learn how to work on my completely original projects. 

Basic Info of The AU Where WOTR Takes Place: 

     It's kind of peaceful, compared to the original. People live normal/regular lives and nobody is too powerful. Anything like the damages to the worlds showed in TUE (or things like that) aren't possible to happen. 

     No Reign Storm. 

     Characters wouldn't be completely good/ evil. Villains are called villains usually because there are conflicts of interests between them and the main characters. 

     Danny is separated into two, and the  situation is similar to that in TUE. But the "human" lives, he's one of the narrators. I call him Daniel in order to differ him from the halfa Danny and the ghost "created" by Danny and Vlad… 

     Most canon characters are OOC, compared to their origins. It's an AU and I don't bother making characters act exactly like the original. 

     Ghost Zone is a world, and a "transfer station" (similar to some concepts from my other projects). It's not regarded as a dimension and is not as chaotic as the original. 

     Ghosts aren't one "species". They don't follow one set of rules particularly despite of the basic rules of the world (they're from/in). Like, Walker's rules don't work for everyone. And he only takes care of the special ones who're in his range of power, and doesn't look for others' troubles. 

     Are ghosts dead people's souls here? I don't really care. They are more like creatures/ aliens here, and sometimes, can even be machines and a freaking island/ mountain. "Ghost" is just a name anyway… (But the so-called living ones can be the ones who are actually, dead. ☺)

     "Ghosts are evil" is nonsense! ?😒

     Creatures/ objects from the Earth are aliens (or probably "ghosts") to GZ, and earth creatures can be very dangerous to ghosts sometimes. 

     There're other "worlds" as well. And there are other fantasy creatures. 

Time for the more detailed info about WOTR! 

     The most important rule of fiction writing doesn't allow me to talk much about characters (not to mention the plots!), so there's only some pretty simple (shallow) stuff here. 

     I often redesign the canon characters. The redesigns for many of the canon characters is basically changing their outfits and only a bit of their physical appearances, since I want them to be pretty recognizable. Some important characters are reset in some ways. For some characters who aren't really noticeable in DP, they might be changed a lot or even be completely reset. 

     There are more than one narrator, which is really hard to handle. But it provides reliable views to readers to know/ understand situations, considering that some narrators aren't being honest all the time, or sometimes being too subjective and emotional. Though I don't switch the narrators all the time of course! 

     The major stories are about Danny's (and his "counterpart"'s) freaking (daily?) life(s).  

（↑Sketchy stuff🙄）

    Daniel represents Danny's "human half". In early concepts, I said that "He's a human!", but now, I have to correct that. He REPRESENTS the human half, (and he is regarded as the human) which means he doesn't have to be an actual one. He looks basically the same to Danny, except for some little details. There's another design for Daniel, which is an symbolic image. The obvious difference is that he now has a pair of "wings", which are technically NOT wings, and I call them 类翼体 ("Wing-like things" is the closest translation I can think of). The wing-like things serve as a symbol/ symbols, meaning that they don't have to be sth "real". Though I still designed a functional structure for them. When Daniel's winged, he acts a bit… different. So it's okay if you say he's another (another?) counterpart of Danny.

【One of the most important thing is that he is fun to draw. Pretty much explains why there's sth so weird here】

     Jazz, Sam and Tucker are alive and well. (I don't see why they should be dead…) Their characters in the show are sometimes… weird… I want them to have some better reasons for most of their actions and have some actual developments. And the designs… Sam's outfit just can't look that similar to that of Danny! And, there's Valerie! There's got to be Valerie! Another kiddo who is really fun to draw—— the ghost "created" by Danny and Vlad. Let's just call him Dan. This wonderful child is absolutely OOC (but I have no regret and I can explain anyway). The original design (and concepts/ settings) is awesome, but it isn't suitable for WOTR.

(I haven't really posted drawings of all the characters who are mentioned here🙄)

The Art and Story Telling

     WOTR is a graphic novel, so I use storyboads to show events and scenes. I try to use the ways of fiction writing (literary novels and sorts) to tell stories and I also learn and use methods of story telling from movies/films, TV series, news, comics, illustration books and many other forms of stories. Of course I read graphic novels, and they are really inspiring! 

     As for the drawings, I always try my best to make okay/fine stuff. My basic is not good. But I am learning and working to get better!

Art style isn't one of the most important things when actually drawing, so I usually don't bother to worry about it. Although, in my opinion, art styles can be really helpful to story telling. So I will switch the style obviously if the plot needs (or when I want to). But anyway, my art will still be my art, the same goes to my writing.

     I don't usually stick to DP style completely. When I imitate sth that's because I think that sth looks nice and it can be handled. In addition, the ways I design characters (including OCs) might look a bit similar to DP's… 

     The main stories are always digital art. 

     Dialogues are particularly difficult to write. They play an really important role… The good thing is that I don't have to tell everything (not literally) through dialogues like the original show (and most movies/ TV series), so in this case, it will be more like literary fictions, which means it has the advantage of letting readers to discover/ think more by themselves. 

     Less dialogues (telling) is difficult for me to write and organise the storyboads, but it reduce the pressure of translation, which is a big problem I have to face.

Languages and Translation

     For most phans who writes fics and/ or makes comics, translation isn't even sth they would need to consider. However, it is a real thing here.

     WOTR(the main stories!) will originally be in Chinese (Mandarin), and now I'm certain that I will make (at least) TWO language versions for WOTR (the main stories), one in Chinese and another one in English. You know, sometimes I have to make THREE versions (usually the conceptual contents and stuff aside from the main stories…) (okay, I now sometimes prefer to write in Cantonese… But it's so hard to translate… ). 

     I will try my best to translate contents into English when some certain part is finished writing. And I need actual help indeed. 

     Not all dialogues will be translated. 

😐

     I think the concept of ghost speak is interesting. It would be fun if there were ghost speak in WOTR, but that would take too much time for me to figure it out (I'm not too interested in it anyway). So there isn't ghost speak. Still, I want to use sth that has a similar effect. You see, I prefer not to write/ draw some pretty but meaningless/random scribbles, so I will use actual language(s) (or to be exact, actual writing systems and fonts). Honestly, I can just use my native language as well as using some strange fonts. The words look just like little drawings/ scribbles. And there're codes! The simple ones of course! And don't worry, the dialogues that won't be translated shouldn't be a big problem while reading! Because they only take up a very small part of the textual contents and aren't very very important info… (They are usually spoken by my OCs… Besides, using codes is fun…)

     Alright, this is basically some simple info about WOTR. 

———————————————————————

     I want to post WOTR to Deviant Art once I have finished the pages of first two or three chapters. I haven't finished writing (/drawing) WOTR, and I find that I cannot access DA without a VPN now! Don't understand why it is also blocked, which really bothers me.

     There's another platform called Lofter, to which I will certainly post WOTR. On Lof, DP isn't as well-known as it is here, but at least the situation isn't that bad. But I think the platform isn't friendly to browsers who don't use its APP. 

     I will try to post more info and concepts about WOTR as well as my other projects and stuff. If possible, I might post the graphic novel here, too. I really would love to share my works and be more active here, but it really really depends. 

     I've heard that the fire wall will update soon, and when it's done, most VPNs won't work anymore, which means it will be extremely difficult for me to access many international media platforms/ websites like Tumblr and Instagram (and please not DA! ). I don't know when will that happen…  But you can still find me on other platforms anyway… 

     Oh, and if you'd like to see/ know more about my works (like freaking concept art of WOTR), you can find me on Deviant Art, Art Station, Lofter, Weibo, and Instagram! Links provided in my profile!

↑I actually drew a freaking scene! And my drawing really looks so much better! The style inspired by Jay P. Fosgitt's art (his designs for characters in mlp comic are amazing).

Some requests! I took quite some in Spring this year (2019). 😜 All requested by users on Lofter.

😁😁😁

↑They wanted me to draw sth nice(?) and a bit angsty(?) as well, with two Danny(s) in it… I wasn't quite sure what that means😂 so I had to imagine the whole scene myself and considered quite some options, and originally I was going to draw sth horrifying, but then I remembered that the content should be PG-13. After carefully considering, I drew this, and I think it looks pretty fine. 😂

↑They just wanted to see them eating ice cream together. I even practised a bit of drawing ice cream for this… 😂

↑I really like Lena! The show is freaking amazing! Sadly I don't have the chance to watch even the last part of season one! Not to mention the following seasons! 😂😭😭冇得仁兄搬运… 个个都去译迪士尼其它啲节目…😂哪怕有生肉都好啊… 唉

This looks like a quick sketch. (I think I drew a bit too fast back then😂)

You know, I'm actually pretty proud of all the Ducktales contents this time… I It was my first time to draw DT… Ah, Scrooge is a freaking awesome character! He's one of my favourite characters.

↓Okay, the last one.

I am proud of this.

(The one who requested this is on tumblr as well but I don't know her username. )

I know this could look better. I mean it.

But hey, FIRST TIME ACTUALLY DRAWING HIM is something to me! 😂

(And this is basically how I draw stuff🙄)

This bad boy is a bit harder to draw, compared to other characters here. But… but this is one of my FAVOURITE villains, and it was really interesting to draw him.

And I know I do draw a lot of Dan, but

Little Dan doesn't count! I mean the one I always draw is from my freaking AU, and everything is different, okay? 😂😂😂

Oh, and the sketch before I make the final drawing… I practised a bit… But didn't take it too seriously, and I KNOW the obvious problems… I could draw better, but I didn't anyway.🙄 I wanted to focus on gesture lines so I switched to a more cartoonic style…

(And I do need to learn and practise more🙄)

The 17th original post of C. Leung! 😏 I want to post more…

PRACTICE.

Some quick sketches. (notice the dates on the pics…) I used characoal pencil.

EntiQuest AU!

😉2019.03.25.

This is the FIRST script(/draft) of the beginning of chapter one from my (graphic novel) Wings of The Ravens.

I didn't even give the novel an actual name (there was only the number of the AU) when I made this, and you see this "comic" is kind of old… Just look at the dates on the pictures.

The Ghost Portal model I made earlier was originally made for this, but it was still pretty hard to draw BG even with its "help" at that time. 😂

I thought I could start making pages, but the reality was that I wasn't ready. Things weren't clear at all, and I was busy and my skills of drawing/writing/story telling weren't good enough. So I stopped to learn and prepare.

Anyway, now I think it's just the first script(draft), which means it could be considered as early concept art, and sharing it really seems fine. ——————2019.03.17.

↓The model I made… 😂

Super excited when I saw this! 😁

Thank you Sputniik!

He looks like a badass… (which is GOOD)

😏And he actually will be a pretty bad kiddo in the novel… There will be violent and bloody/gore stuff… 😂😂😂

"I actually look cute?" (translation of what he says)

😂😂😂

Practice: Background drawing(mainly). Character design.

It was freaking hard to design a proper dress for him! 😂😂😭 The colors you know…

Sth is wrong with the shadows of the objects in the bg but whatever.

😕Is it a good idea to post my comic(s) here? It feels that my stuff might not be really welcome or sth… I suppose the language would be a problem for many people here to read some of my works… Or is it because of sth else(aside from my drawing/writing skills)?? 😂

——————2019.03.

I love these two kiddos. And I realise that the art actually looks fine, so I force myself to post these little comics here as well. 😂

And yes, AU concepts. That AU of mine, 渡鸦之翼(though this is more like a title…).

Dialogues are in Cantonese.

Warning, characters being ooc. Because it's an AU…🙄 My practice. 😂My major purpose was to practis

Daniel.

Vulnerable Phantom. (Phanfic written by Deedy, I help with the illustratiing and sorts of things)

A scene from chapter one.

Spoiler? Nope.

Luckily you cannot really know what's going on in the comic if you haven't read the story, and anyway I didn't make the complete plot into graphics. 🙄

I changed and fixed some of the things (the dialogues are the most obvious), so it has some differences compared to the original description. But it doesn't really matter.

I know that when turning textual contents into visual stuff (I mean like pictures, animations, films and so on), lots of things from the original will be missing. And all I could do was to do my best to retell it...

Fortunately it looks fine and I really like the result. I lover how I captured every character's features and expressions...

I didn't use uppercase letters for every word. Does this matter? 😐

It took me almost a month to complete the page (it wasn't like I can work on this every day), but it's worthwhile. I think it was the preparation that took the most of the time. 😐

Many of the things needed me to imagine, like the characters' position, their gestures and expressions, and… They aren't mentioned in the fic since it isn't necessary but the situation is totally different in drawings. 😂(I didn't discuss any of these things with the author, though we did talk about writing blocks)

And as a result, I had made a few sketches of storyboads which showed different perspectives (or sth like that). And I tried and changed them in order to find a nice way to tell the event,😂 and finally there's one fine version.

And there're only 6 panels left. I wanted to put more into one page but failed. There were supposed to be 3 more panels but in this case, it was too hard for me to organise the last 4 or 5 panels, so I just quit drawing those three.

Also, I don't usually draw Jack or Maddie, so I rewatched some scenes from the show and did some study (kind of). And I personally think they look okay here. 😝

More info about drawing it: on lofter and DA, but I am too lazy to give the links to DA.

(Remember that this is an AU! 渡鸦之翼!!! )

Quick drawing. 😏

I finally drew little Dan in his "original clothes" for the first time.

THAT SUIT! FOR THE FIRST TIME.

I don't like to draw that hazmat suit. I think it doesn't suit little Dan… 😂And it reminds me that in TUE, Danny Phantom is supposed to become a terrifying "murderer", which is really creepy. I still prefer casual clothes… But I have to draw, and I will have to draw more of this image, because this is sth that will appear in my novel. And it's probably a good chance for me to do some "character design".

Another reason that I didn't draw this image before, is that I thought I couldn't handle it, so I waited for a "perfect" moment to try. (Also, I was avoiding…)

Personally think the drawing came out pretty fine, better than I thought. I suppose I actually have some improvements.

Conceptual things😂…

His ghostly energy (special effect🙄) could be pink(from dear uncle Vlad☺). Or sometimes it would be mixed with a few colours. I think it could be(I want it to be) sth pretty and cute/gentle, not that creepy or "deadly". 😊

His "parents" are irresponsible(at first?…at some points??). But they think they are at least doing something. They(usually, only one of them) look for little Dan and try to obligate him. Though they prefer to avoid mentioning or meeting Dan. ☺They really don't want anything bad happen, so maybe they could only do things in the most effective way(s) they know…

Do you think I always draw characters with "not so happy" faces? （If you've seen some of my works on other platforms）

It's a fact that many characters are often seem to be unhappy in my drawings. It just feels more realistic to me. I like to do that, and it has sth to do with myself… I am often like😂😂😂 or 😐😕😠😒😞😢. (The novel doesn't focus on "really happy" stories anyway)

Also, in some ways, everyone in this AU is weaker than the original… I weaken them so that conflicts might be easier to handle. 🙄 (Am I the only one who doesn't really like seeing Danny to be too powerful? )

Godzilla AU concept art. 😜

For @lightphantomnecrozma (creator of the AU)

It was fun to draw and think of those interesting things.

The 2nd original post——————C. Leung

新春快乐啊! 😉

Happy Spring Festival, everyone!

I wish you a happy new year and a prosperous year of the pig. 😁😁😁 It seems to me that portals in GZ could lead to some really strange places. And stepping into a random portal is not always the best idea. You have no idea who/what is waiting for you there. 😂

The creature Danny meets, is often called "醒狮" in my place, but media seldom use the name and it's not on wiki😒😒😒. Dance lions are costumes for dancers, but I think it would be more interesting to describe/show them as actual living creatures. They are unicorns with the name of "lion".😂

My headcanons… Well, "lions" would be considered as earth creatures or (not spooks). They have the abilities to scare ghosts/ evil spirits( sometimes the words might be translated to "demons", 🙄), or even hurt (if they want) ghosts. Ghosts can't do whatever they want to the "lions" and that's pretty bothering/creepy to some ghostly creatures… However, the "lions" are not really offensive or that dangerous. They often eat vegetables and mushrooms (totally different from lions), and they are nice to average/common ghosts. Common ghosts are like common (human or else)people to them. 😊

Though, someone like Danny, is… strange. He's the very powerful kind of (half)ghost, with unknown purpose… Which really confuses the lion. 😂And poor Danny thinks he's facing some sort of fierce monsters… 😂😂😂

😏

I did some researches and studies to design 醒狮, this one looks fine to me. 😁It was hard you know…

The colours of the 醒狮 was inspired by a kind of sea creature. BG was inspired by old houses in 佛山, their walls are made of 青砖 and 麻石, but it's not obvious in this pic… 😂
