What is Lost Dreams? Lost Dreams is a comic created and drawn by Elaine and written by me. About a half dozen pages were printed in MixxZine (for which we are very grateful). Brief synopsis of the story Lost Dreams' main character is a teenager named Lysithia Aoni. She is attending a special school for students with aptitude in 'magic'. (Those who use it aren't sure exactly what it is, psychic or otherwise, so it's called magic). She is studying what is called 'Dream magic'. The story begins with her having a dream of a mysterious man who is looking for her... Introduction to some of the characters Here is some info about the main characters, which are in this picture.
And who is the fourth guy in the picture? Well, I can't tell you yet. He'll show up here soon enough. Here is some info for the secondary characters, which are in this picture.
The world of Lost Dreams The story takes place in a non-descript average joe city. The campus itself is pictured here. All students attending Atlantis Academy live on school grounds. The dorms are not on the same plot of land as the school, so students must walk between the two. A Quik-E mart is along the way and a favorite hang out spot. Students study traditional subjects along with their magical ones. Exactly what this 'magic' is is still under debate. Some call it a latent psychic ability that some understand enough to learn how to control it. Others proclaim that they truly are practicing a form of magic. Whatever it is, it's a skill that needs to be trained for the safety of the student and the community he lives in. Like all skills, no two people's abilities are exactly alike or of the same strength. Often how much control a person has over their skill is related to how much they practice at it. Here is a brief run down of some of the magics in this series:
Distribution schedule MixxZine will no longer be carrying Lost Dreams (don't email me asking why, I'm rather fuzzy on it myself..). But, that doesn't mean we're without a plan. We've always intended to produce our own book that is a collection of the story. The main hang up at the moment is the fact that Elaine does have other obligations besides this one and can't spend all her time drawing. On this page I'm going to continue to post any character sketches that Elaine does and keep people updated on the story's progress. I do have more sketches sitting here, but they are for the second arc. The publishing rate is at a pace where I don't want to confuse people by posting pictures of characters that they won't get to see for months and months. I have set up a list with OneList for announcements. If you'd like to join it click here. The Goods
Elaine has a wonderful habit of doing additional pictures of characters to help keep my creative juices flowing. This is where I'll share some of them.
