I saw all of your characters from the ΞLTRΞLINE universe on Art Fight and both they & the premise sounds cool!
Could you share an overall synopsis of the story? Do you plan to write it as a book series like Heart Hollow or something else? Any other fun tidbits about it to share?
hi!! wowie! thank you so much for your interest!!
first, here's the reference sheets for the two main characters, since i don't believe i've posted them here.
ΞLTRΞLINE was originally a universe created by me and one of my buddies from teenagehood. it's a fun project to make characters and worldbuild for. if it were to come into reality, i think it would work best as a slice of life absurdist comedy with larger overarching plot points to drive the narrative. i could see it being a comic, but it would be great as a TV show i think.
the main story follows Josef, a young human adult who recently got a position at an administrative office for ΞLTRΞLINE: the universe's only choice for intergalactic connection! Josef grew up as the only human on the planet Gegoria, a simple farming planet with a heavy emphasis on community. with high hopes to find out more about their race, they take a job off-planet. they lack street smarts, but are beyond eager to learn and understand the greater universe around them.
they are quickly drawn to a being that calls himself Walter. after all, he is the only being at ΞLTRΞLINE that looks humanoid! the two form a strong bond, and as time goes on, Josef learns that Walter was a byproduct of the universe's creation. he's as old as time itself, and has had a very rich past. after many MANY millennia ruling planets, conquering beasts, and rolling in riches, Walter has found himself crunching numbers in a stuffy office building. because of his age and his seer-like visions of the past, present, and future, Josef quickly finds that Walter is the key to find out what happened to the human race.
as for the company ΞLTRΞLINE, they specialize in high speed transit systems around the universe, and are constantly expanding their horizons. they also hold a monopoly in universal telecommunication and internet services. it is an extremely profitable company with ridiculously massive resources, reach, and personnel. i haven't poured much thought into the CEO or board members, but I have a few loose ideas.
also, the story would introduce a lot of new side characters to expand the office and the universe. althouuuugh. the only other character i've drawn in the last, like, decade is Matt... which is why he's the only side character on my ArtFight account right now β οΈ
anywho! i hope this long winded response answered your questions! i really REALLY appreciate the interest. since i haven't talked about ΞLTRΞLINE at all, i don't have many folks interested in it. it's a fun story to play with, but it is one from teenagehood, which is why i hardly work on it anymore unfortunately. maybe one day it'll come to fruition! for now, this is what i got for ya :)))
thank you once again, my friend!!
