Makes me wish I still had all my old sketch pads from years gone by...

Here's a work in progress with a new change in direction I'm trying..

Adding in real backgrounds, but altering them just a bit and then I'll take the left over drawing part, and try to realistically render it to match..Wish me luck.

Slight update..Anyone know how to render hair?

Wow! That is some fantastic work! What do you mean by "render hair"? Are you refering to rendering in Photoshop?

Yeah, photoshop and a mouse.

What exactly are you trying to do?

Make it looks like hair..With strands, highlights and shadows, etc..make it look real.

Well, looking back a page at the girl standing on the dock, I'd say you've got a pretty good handle on making hair look natural with Photoshop. I wouldn't change a thing.

Just was playing around with layers and what not, it's..uhm, I guess, kinda interesting seeing the different segments from what was to what is now etc..

This is kinda the general storyline of it..

Characters:
Main-Grae ( no other name )
Sara Lord
Sara's Dad, Justin Lord
Sara's Friend Officer Alexander Cullens
Xander Cullen's Sister/Sara's Friend Kate Cullens

4 years after Sara's Mom died, her father and she continue on their tradition of going to Mountain Meadows, to their lake cabin each summer but it's now a much darker time for them. A place that once held numerous happy memories with friends and family is now run down, lonesome, darker.

Her relationship with her father is strained, he's now distant, and cold. He's damaged. Yet still they come. Trying to continue on together and finding a way to piece the fractured aspect of their lives back together again and form it into something new. A chance to be happy again.

Sara has a few friends there still, local brother and sister Alexander and Kate Cullens.

This year, the 4th anniversary of losing her Mom, Sara notices for the first time, that across the lake the old abandoned cottage is actually being lived in.

Xander, now a local sheriff, tells her one night about the house, and it's occupant. Grae. That while she is quiet, causes no problems, there has been a few issues of vandals and harrassment from other locals at the cottage.

This Grae is the town freak--a witch to some, a monster, vampire etc..The town knows about her, but no one knows her, so they make up stories based on random sightings and gossip.

Sara happens to meet Grae one night, and finds out there isn't anything really abnormal about her,

but she is in fact forced into the life of solitude she now lives in because of a very rare medical condition called Congenital Erythropoietic Porphyria (CEP) Where as in direct sun light can cause massive amounts of skin damage and even bodily disfigurement. Skin photosensitivity may be extreme and lead to blistering, severe scarring and rashes. Bacteria may infect the damaged skin. Facial features and fingers may be lost through phototoxic damage as well as infection. Red blood cells have a shortened life-span, and anemia often results. Thus making Grae live the seclusive night life she has now, staying out of sun light, not going out much at all, keeping away from people in general embarrassed of her scarring etc.

Sara and Grae eventually come to a friendship, Sara helps her through some of her more severe outbreaks and then gets involved as some of the locals continue to harass the "freak" and things spiral out of control quickly as pranks and annoyances become dangerous and threatening.

It'll all be very WBish once --if ever-- it's completed.

So, there you go. Nothing to actioning or WOW aspect..More of a story piece. Stuff like that.
