Hero of Ralier
From Slinkiwiki
Hero of Ralier, also known as "The five year comic project" is a short story that has been expanded, and is planned to play out in the form of a Graphic Novel that follows Celen, a cat-like dragonoid, and his friends over the course of five years. The short story only had 2 pages written, and was canned in favor of the graphic novel. Its story now takes place in Year 4.

The world of Shai
The planet Shai is the second planet in the Neula system, named by the Human scientist who discovered that the planet revoled around its star. Other planets, in order from closest to furthest from the star, include the firey wasteland Selta, the cold desert planet Nia, and the gas giant Julte.
3 billion years ago, Shai was lifeless. Eventually the right conditions were formed for life to exist, and bacteria were born. As time went on, they evolved into fish, which evolved into lizards. As the planet entered a natural Ice Age (per 200 million years), some lizards evolved into mammals. 6 of these creatures evolved into sentient beings, which formed Tribes. Over time, tribes merged together and formed countries. Today, there are 6 countries, one for each race that evolved. Countries are further split up depending on their government.

Differences in each Year
Each year of the comic will be somewhat different, both in mood and art method. All five years follow Celen and his thoughts, but the general tone is set by events around him.
Year one
Generally Lighthearted, introducing the basic plot and characters. The art style is fairly close to Slink's normal art style.
Year two
Somewhat Lighthearted, expanding on the character relationships and backstories. Entails a mock-mission for the young mercenaries. Art style attempts to be smoother.
Year three
Art style attempts to be rougher.
Year four
Art style attempts to be... I'm not sure, yet.
Year five
Art Style attempts to be almost Sketchy, while also being quite detailed.
