Xade on Aug. 19, 2007

Here we get to know what Alex's magical talent is. Yes, he literally stopped the speeder by his hair, they were stopping anyway, Alex just helped them out :P See background info for further details.

I'm also trying for a simpler style, which is why the minor details like the gauges behind the steering wheel are missing. As you can see I did some minor shading here and there, the stopped car has some in order to add detail without black lines all over the place. When I had my Nissan I didnt think to get a full side view, as such that is a 2002 front of a Nissan Altima. To see what happened to my Nissan visit my concept art comic. As usual, I ensure the over text, in this case the radio, is clearly visible by changing the color to a contrasting color of the main comic. Yet because it is simply text and and jingle there is no curve to it. ^.^

+++++Background Info

A little background about the magic talents of Xade. Everyone has some form of a talent, classified into types and degrees. The lower the degree the more powerful it is. The classes are another word for categories. As such Alex's full talent title is hair control of the first degree, meaning he can do whatever he wants with his hair, make it grow, make it invulnerable, ect and has control over it as if it is a third arm. There is only one degree available at a time, Alex is the only one currently on Xade who has that particular degree of hair control. Once he dies, then the talent is open to any newborn baby. Second control is just like Alex's but it cannot change its nature, example, become invulnerable. There are countless variations of each talent but there are only 10 classes that are officially noted in the Ruby Palace records. Class 10 is simply growth and color change, from then on it is just hair control, minor degree.

If you're still reading this then I should mention that my friend, Blkknight and I are planning something. I wont say much but you should go catch up on his comic, Attatch This to save time later. There will be another update this week so stay tunned.
