Duality

Duality is my current story idea. Don't have many drawings worth showing for it yet though, since a lot of them somehow got fucked up in scanning and I have to rescan them.

Duality is my first attempt at real worldbuilding, as most other story ideas I have just take place in some city where crazy shit happens. THIS story takes equal parts in a government coverup-heavy city that covers up anything remotely out of the ordinary and a Touhou-inspired fantasyland sealed off from the rest of the world (depicted in the picture I uploaded previously). This is where my attempt at worldbuilding occurs.


The thing about fantasyland is it was created by a sort of god, which was the embodiment of life. She then populated it with all sorts of crazy crap, and every last character living there is the embodiment of a different thing. Some are humanoid, but just as many of them are just weird creatures; in addition to the ones shown above, the embodiment of earth is a giant catfish that swims through the ground and the embodiment of art is an extremely emotive poorly-drawn notebook doodle. Embodiments of actual elements are very rare, they're mostly embodiments of random concepts. Also, they fight. A lot. Their way of resolving almost any minor conflict or getting to know new people is to just have a brawl with them. Considering that all of them have some sort of superpower related to what they're the embodiment of, this makes living in fantasyland very interesting. Also, general setting-wise, the whole place is sort of like a historic town in that there's no real technology and everyone has to do manual labor for things, and it's vaguely Asian in flavor.
Plotwise, the basic premise is that Abigail (the anglerfish girl) winds up in normal city and is captured, winds up kidnapping a dude named Collin and taking him to fantasyland, and eventually shit gets out of hand and snowballs until there's an all-out war between the two worlds at the end. Fuck I'm tired of writing this.
