[starwarsboy90]

Here is one of the first character art for the Guadian Apprentice Glossary; Shadow Wraith. Shadow Wraith appear in the series as powerful beings who serve Lucifer in the Army of Darkness.

[starwarsboy90]

Here is an updated version of the Shadow Wraith.

Here is another character art for the Glossary; Shi'ado Guardsmen(Draconian). Shi'ado Guardsmen appear in the series as Warriors for the Empire of Draconia; The Draconian Empire.

hmm it looks interesting

and I hope what I'm about to say won't discouage you guys... I like your sketches and all..but the way you color them is really strange... it looks very rushed, and unclean..

Is there a way that you can clean up your colors and color them in another program? It looks like your artist just used the "fill" option in MSpaint to color and thats...not exactly a good idea all the time...

Sorry if I offended you, but your idea sounds nifty, but it would be even better with cleaner artwork...

[starwarsboy90]

well that it would. We don't have very many artists for this project; so if you would like to help clear the artwork up; it's highly appreciated. This series has alot of artists from various fields. This series is for teenagers; partially by teenagers. Some of the artists are really good, our current graphic artist is a beginner.

Here is some more Character Art from Guardian Apprentice. This character art is the official character art for Sarah Y'vansia; the Vampire from Guardian Apprentice. This artwork is by CAA's reknown artist Aalenfae; who's very good.

Here's a new Idea for an Anime or Anime Short Story Series that Gabriel McKnight Productions will probably be working on in 2006/2007. If anyone would like to help with Production/Publishing, that would be most appreciative.

The average Anime studio employs several dozen artists, animators, writers, voice actors, and technicians, producing a single 22 minute episode at thousands of dollars, and a number sponsors to make it to commercial television. Googling Gabriel McKnight Productions invariably leads to a freeware forum with five members and nearly a few more posts. Your rudimentary plot reads as fairly contrived and heavy handed (theological implications shelved for now), official art is all across the board and inconsistent, and you have neither an animation nor a technical staff.

Gauging your current rate of production, the first episode will premier late October 2071. I'll be sure to catch it on TiVo.

[starwarsboy90]

It's not an Anime, it's a short story series with anime-ish artwork and a Manga is also being concieved. Actually we have alot of staff that are not registered on our website as well, various authors, artists, music composers; who haven't registered. We also do various cgi-short films, etc; although most everything not relating to the series has been canceled or handed off to other affiliated Producers to produce. It's none-profit, since we believe in ministering for free, not profit unlike various Christian Authors and groups.

[Fish and Chips]

Non-profit organizations still rely on sufficient funding for basic costs and production values. It takes a lot of money to not make money. Even if your allegedly branching staff is volunteer, you'll need to cover publishing and distribution, particularly with a cover price of $0.00.

[starwarsboy90]

well what comes out of our pockets pays for the basic necessities, especially since most of the crew are college students.

[Tsukuyomi]

So, is this a college project? Or an actual anime-ish project? How will you guys get this "out there"?

[starwarsboy90]

It's an an actual anime-ish project. It will be hosted online and downloadable. It's a Massive Multimedia Project (MMP), using various multimedia platforms to tell various in-Universe stories relating to the series.

[starwarsboy90]

Japanese will be spoken in the episodes, so will English and Aldean. English will be the primary language of the series though. There will be translations that will go along with each episode in each volume.

[starwarsboy90]

Guardian Apprentice: The Comings and Goings of Toudai Student Kal Duran is currently in the works. It will be an open blog, detailing Kal's day to day and weekly adventures in-between the episodes of Guardian Apprentice. A link will be available on the official Guardian Apprentice website when Guardian Apprentice is published this coming summer.

[starwarsboy90]

A new Graphic Artist has just been hired to clean out the majority of the graphic art from our previous graphic artist.

[starwarsboy90]

Update: A lot of writing, editing and artwork has been done in the past month or so. You should expect the series released in mid July.

[starwarsboy90]

The Character Art for Characters Demon Eater and Ari has been much improved by our Graphic Artist.

An co-author is needed for the Guardian Apprentice: The Comings and Goings of Toudai Student Kal Duran(Character Blog). If you are interested, please PM me.

[starwarsboy90]

Guardian Apprentice: Volume 1 is now officially published. Final Editing, writing and artwork has just been finished. You can find the link to it on our website.

[starwarsboy90]

Preliminary Writing has started on Guardian Apprentice Volume 2 (Episodes 6-10). Episode Outlines are available on the Gabriel McKnight Productions/Publishing Website in the Plot Room section only for the Co-Authors. Alot more Co-Authors are needed for this volume. If you are an Author and are interested, please PM me. Thanks.

I'll keep this thread updated as Publication progresses, including on the Manga which won't be started until Volume IV of Guardian Apprentice is published.

Here is Preliminary Artwork for Volume II of Guardian Apprentice. Writing has started on Volume II.

[starwarsboy90]

With Guardian Apprentice being a part of Far Star Chronicles, there have been alot of new works of art being intermixed between the series. Far Star Chronicles: Creed is the first story in the FSC series. The stories take place in multiple universes with various characters from different series. The protagonist in Creed is Eric Ryuse(Ari). Anyways, here is some preview art.



The artwork is of Ari standing infront of Yasada Auditorium on the Hongo Campus of Tokyo University in the Spirit Realm( The realm of Angels, Demons and spirits dwell). The character art used in this piece is by artist Aalanfae who is an really good artist working on Guardian Apprentice.

So does Ari ever not just stand there coolly withdrawn in a perpetual boyscout salute?

[starwarsboy90]

lol, character wise he's withdrawn most of the time and it's not a boy scout salute, it's a martial arts stance(for those who don't know much of martial arts, do research). Anyways a game creator that recently joined the staff is creating an RPG based on Guardian Apprentice.

[starwarsboy90]

Hi everyone, it's been a long time. Anyways, work has started on Guardian Apprentice: Volume II; which takes place a couple of months after Volume I. The events that happen in Volume II happen in concert with the events in Far Star Chronicles.
