Original Trace and Flora
Added 2024-10-26 21:38:17 +0000 UTCTrace the dragon rider and Kaylia (proto-Flora) the aspiring mage, both original concepts for the character before Twokinds, suggested by Combak! I ultimately didn't have Trace being a dragon rider as an official thing simply because... drawing dragons was too hard lol I did eventually bring it back a few years later with the introduction of Nora and her relationship with Trace.
Comments
anyone else feel like these two could easily be Trace and Flora's kids after a timeskip in the story?

2024-10-30 03:22:02 +0000 UTCPersonally a little sad that this got less votes than the revealing trio, but I guess that's the way the internet is

2024-10-29 02:46:28 +0000 UTCoh so that's why Nora was a good friend of trace

2024-10-28 23:08:30 +0000 UTCCreating characters can be quite a journey. I wrote a pair of Sci-Fi novels (published in 2013) that involved humans and an alien race. The main alien character was from a race of felines who were similar to highly-evolved house cats. She, along with rest of her kind, ended up completely different than when I started the original short story that proceeded to take on a life of its own!

2024-10-27 18:42:48 +0000 UTCThis might be a good story for an alt world or later in the universe.

2024-10-27 16:10:11 +0000 UTCI have always had that feeling about Trace... So delightful to learn that Trace originally was supposed to have connection with dragons, just as I imagine our Trace to develop it in the future.

2024-10-27 04:39:46 +0000 UTCHonestly, it is sometimes fascinating to see how characters started, and where they have ended up

2024-10-27 02:48:11 +0000 UTCI’m not sure Saphira would go for it… she’s strictly a one Rider dragon…

2024-10-27 01:09:49 +0000 UTCHmm.... Eragon would be intrigued by these new riders. Perhaps I should suggest a crossover...

2024-10-27 00:47:14 +0000 UTCKaylia could appear more often.

2024-10-27 00:38:34 +0000 UTCI like how Trace holds onto Nora like Jane holds onto Dragon in "Jane and the Dragon." Horns make great handles.

MR, ABYSS
2024-10-26 23:56:08 +0000 UTCTrace: Is this fun or what? Flora: AAAHHHH!!!

2024-10-26 23:43:49 +0000 UTCAnd then Trace will have to rack his brains to figure out who he wants, Kaylia or Flora.

2024-10-26 23:43:16 +0000 UTCI love looking at concept art. Seeing a concept be in the womb, and all the potential it could have had. Oh a slight difference could mean we would have ended up with an entirely different character. And of course trying to see if you could fit a concept in the modern iteration and make it work.

2024-10-26 23:36:34 +0000 UTCKind of reminds me of the 2020 movie 'Dragon Rider' https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WesternAnimation/DragonRider (which is based on the book of the same name by Cornelia Funke)

2024-10-26 22:34:08 +0000 UTCThe roles seem to be reversed when I look at it. Trace became the mage and Flora’s personality could’ve fit the dragon rider role in some ways.

2024-10-26 22:07:04 +0000 UTCI do enjoy looking at concept art. Always interesting to see what the comic would've been like.
