I really like the expression on that dude’s face in the fore…

The “underdeveloped” reptilian lifeforms turned out to be pretty hostile. They succeded in killing 2 careless members of SU17 - Walter S. Rydberg & Robert Coleman - while the other 6 were still exploring the caverns.
They only found out 2 hours later via video playback of a scoutdrone that witnessed the cruel massacre.
To the regret of all present, a decent burial was impossible, as no remains of the 2 victims could be found.
Downhearted by this incident but nevertheless careful, the rest of SU17 made their way back to the ship unharmed, and soon they were back in space heading towards communication range to report back to meritrean HQ.

2 Years later…

The Meritreans claimed the planet - now named “Goldrift” - for themselves. The population already counts over 2 million settlers, most of them working in the new mines.
Also the reptilian problem has been solved, as meritrean “Beastmasters” control most of the creatures with the help of special brain-wave-manipulating gear, that makes the reptiles calm and easy to handle. Now they are used for transport - be it human riders or heavyweight resources.
Mukra-chrystals are sold all over the galaxy and the prosperous meritrean trade draws more and more settlers to Goldrift…

Advanced space civilization and pre-historic life forms, thats a great concept. Will be checking back on how this will develop :thumbsup:

Some time later a strangely shaped alien structure crashed on Goldrift. How or when exactly it entered the goldrift atmosphere could not be cleared as the “ship” used some kind cloaking technology unknown to the meritreans. Within minutes hundreds of little scoutbots spread out of the alien structure killing every living thing on first contact.
Altough the meritreans are a peaceful nation, their defensive weapon technology is superior to many others and within 6 hours they managed to eliminate the alien threat and isolate the ship for further research.
With help of meritrean HQ - wich now stood in direct communication with the planet - they found out, that the shiplike structure belongs to a yet pretty unknown alien race called " Nissen" .

HI!

A nevedből ítélva magyar vagy. Tetszenek a skiccek, sok sikert!

#21

Very interesting, i like the approach of the ship going towards the planet :smiley:

#22

Hi Frenkie

Igen …de nem tudok rendesen irni…német be születtem es ot nyötem föl … a pici magyart amit en tudok nagyanjam tol tanultam :wise:

So my hungarian is not so good :smiley:

#23

The next story-piece will be delayed a bit as ive got much other work :S …
But i hope i can post something before the next weekend … im eager to finish this so i can finally focus on sketching my final pic :smiley:

I also hope some of u like the story so far… its pretty simple but i want to keep it that way :slight_smile:

My Idea is to get the storyboard as simple and self explaining as possible, so that u would not need any text info to understand whats going on ( roughly ) … as my good ol friend Hitchcock told me to do :smiley:

( I didnt say i succeeded in that point :stuck_out_tongue: )

#24

i like it, is the last concept a snow/ice planet? looks good

#25

Not many people can say an alien race has been called after them :smiley:

#26

Unfortunately i cant go on here :frowning: :frowning: :frowning:

Good Luck to everyone … :thumbsup:
