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.
Concept for Alpenland. The boy reflects about his predicament. After a while the deer man joins him for company. He invites the boy to peer through his telescope. The boy follows the deer man’s direction and discovers his mother on the balcony of a guesthouse.
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.
