Warning: This is gonna be a long ass artist description! And if you want the image to make some sort of 'sense' I'm sorry to say that you'll have to read :pat:

I seriously have nothing against pixel users... You guys just make the best enemy in this case :la:

---

This project has been going on for months now and I don't really see an end to it cuz it's too much fun. I've been working on this piece for a while now. I needed to create the characters one by one first, and then come up with a frame that would be able to contain twelve characters... which is really hard btw :noes: BUT YAY it's done!

So there's the characters that form a team of fighters to try and drive the virus that has tainted the world of Vectoria out of there. The castle at the top would be "Vectoria's Hard drive" since it's a computer, but we want it to look pretty instead of a simple box containing information. So a castle it is! Right now it's invaded by the pixel monsters though....

The characters are actual people here on deivantart! They are amazing people and do great art, so go check them out! :la:

Here's a bit about Vectoria: Vectoria is a virtual world inside of a computer.

Getting dragged into Vectoria meant that if you fiddled around enough with your vector program, you'd unlock the code and literally get coded into the program. Mind blowing thing about it, the program being a world with actual civilization in it.

So many different minds of people, different imaginations had used the tool to create vector, it got enough fuel to be standing on it's own two feet. All those pieces of surreal put into those endless amount of drawings created with the program, created a mind of it's own; Vectoria.

Vectoria has the power to select the people it wants inside of it, inside the world of Vectoria. If one mind is curious enough, determined enough, talented enough, they would be worthy of exploring the country of the virtual vector and become part of it, live in it and create in it.

Those who lost interest, were decoded and forgot about Vectoria.

Once upon a time pixel users who had interest in vector, had been able to be part of Vectoria. It is how the virus came to be. One individual who believed Pixelators were the one and only true form of virtual art, set foot into the territory of Vectoria and planted the virus into the hard drive, intending to rasterize the heart of this world, making vector disappear.

Now this doesn't mean all people who use pixels are evil... It just means there's always one tyrant available anywhere. I'm sure we have our own batch of crazy individuals in Vectoria, planning to invade the world of pixels and plant it's own vector virus there. But this story is about the Pixel Tyrant. Not the Vector Tyrant.

Anyway. Thus the need for heroes to safe Vectoria's ass.


The drawings in the computer screens:

A lot of stock reference since I needed pose references for the characters, here we go:
[link] , [link] , [link] , [link] , [link] , [link] , [link] , [link] , [link] , [link] , [link] , [link] , [link]

I used reference for the castle, which the stock photos I found on: stock xchng - [link] Same goes for the baroque pattern behind the characters.

For more info on the characters individually, you can check out these links:
Ash and Domi: [link] , Dr Pacman: [link] , Vash, Lilly and Jules: [link] , Pica and Kubus: [link] , Pathonia and Nasra: [link] , Ikue and Dan: [link]

Man that is a bunch of links :faint:

Made in illustrator! Otherwise It'd be treason..........
Lineart of this (without characters):


And now I'm making this description even longer so I can thank `pica-ae and ^ChewedKandi for the Daily Deviation!!!!!!!! :squee: THANK YOU, YOU LOVELY GIRLS!

Daily Deviation

Given 2011-08-07
On deviantART's birthday I'd like us to also celebrate the vector community we have. Today's feature is a piece showing how creativity has been fuelled by a love of a medium and friendships gained through our community, perfect to illustrate why many of us call dA our 2nd home. Vectoria by =ssst ( Suggested by ^pica-ae and Featured by `ChewedKandi )

Pretty rad. If it's ever made into a full on story I would love to read.


By the by, this kind of reminds me of Homestuck :meow:

Homestuck is an epic story/game/flash thng on mspaintadventures.com. It gets you all pumped up, then confused. Hella confused. And then it manages to do some crazy motherfucking double reach around shit that makes you understand everything that happens. I don't really know how I can explain this... But ti is the most epic of epic adventures.

IMO I don't quite like the semi-realistic style or coloring here, but I do like the expressions and details! My favorite part would have to be the setup of the picture <3 the background (the roses and frame) is amazing. Great work :) Congrats on the DD.
