Exclamation Planetside 2 Graphic Novel


In a thread a few days ago I posted up a sketch titled Calm Before the Storm, depicting some Terran Republic soldiers preparing for battle. Zekeen asked why I hadn't started making a graphic novel yet, and other members of the community such as Tcakes, headcrab13, Cosmical, Kipper, Graywolves, and Raka Maru shared his sentiments. Having never attempted a graphic novel before, I decided to give one page a shot just to see how it goes.

The story is not written by me, and is taken directly from the lore stories posted at Planetside2.com. Some of the content seems outdated now, such as Bolt Drivers being a New Conglomerate specific weapon. Anyway I hope you like this first attempt. As I get used to the workflow and format the quality should improve as well. Thanks and enjoy!

NICE work man, this looks great! I really like the idea of structuring your artwork around community-favorite stories that have already been written. That's not to say that you can't add your own story elements, but I'm sure doing it your way will save some time.

Any word from SOE on permissions for doing a fan-supported version?

Regardless, you have incredible talent and should continue developing this when you have time. Awesome!

Very nice. I would most certainly read this if it were a full novel. Great work.

Nice drawings, the story/text itself however lacks a pun or something to make it interesting.

Very nice, would be cool if after the game is out you made a series with an original story (I say after so you would be able to get info on weapons lore that would be accurate) very great work!

This is the original Backstory of Planetside 2. There is no room for fun!

Also, this is a GN, not a comic...
