Calayne Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) So, I entered the comic contest with this entry. But a foreword: I've actually planned this to be a series, done, perhaps, between my Medieval Warframe series if I ever do start drawing comics. The thing is, though, this was supposed to be much, much, longer. But since the competition was only 3 panels long, I decided that hey, what the heck. May as well start on the project I wanted to do anyways. I may eventually colour these, even if it's simply done. After the lore for the Stalker came out, I began to see him as a very sad figure: Someone who dedicated his entire life, his entire being, to the protection of his people. Like Zod in the Man Of Steel movie (With whom I can relate), Stalker was the epitome of a guardian. So I began to think of a story for him; Though we know the ending, and that it can only end in tragedy, I wanted to flesh him out. I wanted him to be more than a foe who sometimes catches us off guard. I wanted to give him a reason, a real reason, for him to come after us. That the world isn't as black and white as the Lotus put it, and that all of us, in some way, are guilty of something. I wanted a Stalker we could relate to. I wanted to write a story where the Stalker wasn't a vengeful spirit. But simply a broken man. In a sense, this is the ending of that story I wish to write. There's a lot in between which I feel could be said about the man behind the shadowy mask. But I think that unlike the Tenno, the Stalker is unique in that he has emotions and a motivation determined by himself. He is, in fact, the most human of all the characters in Warframe. Oh, and all this is non-canon. Of course. Edited March 15, 2014 by Calayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sol420 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 you should enter this in the comics contest forum. You have a serious shot at winning since very few of the entries go for a serious approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calayne Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 (edited) you should enter this in the comics contest forum. You have a serious shot at winning since very few of the entries go for a serious approach. Actually, I did! In fact, that's the first sentence I wrote, If I'm right. Saw it on the comic thread. Loved it. This serie has potential, can't wait so see more! Thanks, Enip! ^^ But like all projects, I think this one will suffer from my magnificent ability of ridiculous procrastination. School projects and exams tend to eat away time and motivation to do anything else beside sleep and eat. ;x Edit: Does Enip mean "Ninja" in French? ;P Edited March 16, 2014 by Calayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I think everyone experienced this at least one time in his life) Anyways, I'll never miss a comic when it's released! Edit: Does Enip mean "Ninja" in French? ;P Mehehe, nah! But it could. ;p Double ninja in this thread tho'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double ninja is desirable! As much as double rainbows!I guess when you're old enough that responsibilities start piling, you know the time you got mostly ain't gonna be yours. :( Makes me think of the halcyon days of childhood. When you could draw and sleep in class all day and catch up with school work just before exams! Maaaan those were the days. Edit: oh, and thanks for the vote of confidence, Verdict! But I'm not expecting to win, though I'd appreciate the plat if I did. ;) Just thought this is a good time to start this particular thought projct!

IANOBW Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 The art is fantastic and the emotions of stalker portrayed are just what you would expect. It's brilliant. +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nulsu Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 i like how in the last pic hes kinda got a sugar skull jaw and teeth, super cool bro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calayne Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 Thanks! I liked the idea of a hardy Stalker. I actually wanted to make him more beat up, but I thought just having most of his jaw dislocated and parts of his head replaced by technology would make him recognisable enough. I did think I overdid the aesthetics on his prosthetic jaw, though. ;x That sh!t is gonna be so blinged out if it ever gets coloured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themarksman10109 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 DE should just make this the official story of the stalker. Its just that perfect!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaSnail Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I still want to make a stalker story/lore, but I just never got to it xD I have made a few about other Warframes, grineer, or the Corpus, but I only show them to my close friends and family :3 I would post it on the forums but I'm just shy so... WELL BACK TO THE TOPIC! Amazing artwork and I like your choice of words in the comic, only details the important parts to make the reader sympathies with the stalker. I'm looking forward for more, so don't let me down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morec0 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I'm still biased to idea of the Stalker having been a low-ranking Tenno, but either way this is pretty much what I see having happened. Vengeance is still a part of him, in my mind, but knowing that he can never have the Orokin back definitely broke him - I'd say "hence his seeming one-track mind" against the Tenno, but then I remembered Darvo's runin with him and now I don't know.

Darvo is helping the Tenno and even sold all Stalker's gear to them. So, imo, I don't think it's too hard to see why he may want to kill him too...

Somedude1000 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 The skeleton concept goes great with the fact that he wields a scythe and comes from the shadows. Reminds me of the Grim Reaper a lot . :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maladictor0909 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 The art is really nice, although the panoram views could use some more detail. The only thing I really find wrong though is that a character as weak as the stalker does not deserve such great fan art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
