Grüße aus dem Alpenland!
At GDC I’ll attempt to sell the Alpenland preview issue out of my backpack -well, out of a wooden box actually- It’s limited to 100 and there are still 68 left. If you’re going to GDC (and you like reading comics) give me a shout @bushghost. Grab one for 5 dollars. Alpenland is the the story about a little boy getting lost in a strange little valley empire in the european Alps. It’s also the comic sequel to “Where is my Heart?”
Concept work for Alpenland - the comic sequel to Where is my Heart?. The boy passes a venerable mushroom elder who eyes the boy curiously.
Alpenland concept work. The boy flees from the Bat Brigade, a fascistic militia of bats. He jumps over a ravine and ends up in a situation where he is dependent on the help of his pursuers.
rough concept sketches. The bat brigade camps around a fire. The boy hides behind a tree. One of the bat soldiers decides to pee where the boy is hiding. The soldier notices the boy and alarms his comrades. Scared, the boy runs off.
