ZARIL - THE SPIRITS GATE
Team: Fantasy
So excited to participate in this ART WAR with so many other artists. Thanks Marc for the opportunity!
My name is Peter H. Paul and I am ready to unleash my champion(the main character from my upcoming comic book) ZARIL -the spirits gate.
Backstory:
Zaril is a young magician who's ready to protect the things he believes in with the price of his life. Unfortunately he doesn't have a family of his kind... The humans abandoned him when he was 3 years old, but he was find by something else who embrace the soul of the young boy immediately and help him to live and grow in peace. He was helped by a druid, a majestic creature who has the strongest connection with the nature in all the land. The boy was taken into the hearth of the forest and grow up there along with the most marvelous creatures from all. He learned to fight, to hunt and to always live with the nature in his soul.
Everything was fine until his master(the druid woman who found him) finds his capacity to do magic. The Sanctuary of the druids was put in danger by the magical power of Zaril, because out there deadly creatures, fearless demons, fallen angels and warlocks hunts the druids for centuries, but they never found them because they never had a lead to fallow. Now they have.. The magical energy of the boy was enough. After fights and arguments the druids make a decision: run to another forest and leave the boy there alone. Again Zaril was just about to be abandoned... His master and adoptive mom leaves a gift for him before she leaves. A deck with 30 cards all charged with the spirits of the forest: Heat Bite(the tiger of fire), Leaves Lighter(the fox of thunder), Moon Wish(the wolf from the dark) and many others in order to help him perform him magical potential and to never lose his connection with nature. After he woke up and find himself alone Zaril falls in a depression.. He didn't understand why his family runs out without explain to him anything. Why? Maybe he will never know..
After that Zaril did not start to hate the druids, he learned that hate consume your soul and the nature inside of him was the only thing that remains from his "druid" origins. One day he opened the deck and from every card in it rise a forest spirit, some ancient souls of one of the mightiest and magical creatures ever. Step by step he learned to communicate with them and to use their power in his favor into combats. Now Zaril is on his road to become "The Wizard of nature" but even with the help from his spirits, out there are still more magicians, warriors, knights, necromancers and more who wants to get that title. Zaril must defeat them all and it wont be easy but even with no human friends he still got the nature by his side. And exactly that animals, trees, flowers, mountains and all the nature itself and every soul in it make from this boy The Spirits Gate!
What do you think about the story? I worked very hard on it because the backstory of a character in my opinion is the most important step to a full concept. Hope you will like it!
