Hi Guys! So this is the first main project I've ever focused on
in terms of visual development. It's still a work in progress. This
is a story that started off as a fanfiction from four of my favorite animated
movies. (We'll see if you can figure them out on your own.)
This story is basically about four teenagers who struggle to survive the zombie apocalypse that seemingly began overnight. Will they be able to get through it together? Will they have to leave behind their loved ones? Will they be able to find a cure?
Well, you'll find out soon enough. I'll leave a link below if your interested to find out.
Alrighty!
Lets
get down to the intro of my main male protagonist first- Keith!
Pretty cool, huh?
Keith is one of those characters who has had a very traumatizing childhood. Ever since 'the incident' that happened to him all those years ago, he's been a little wayward. He's a loner, meaning he doesn't have a lot of friends and only associates himself with adults. He's also had a abnormal obsession with weapons. Anyone willing enough to teach him how to use one, he's gonna take it. He's also a 'shoot first, ask questions later' kind o' guy. He's pretty street smart and can handle himself in any situation pretty well. And he'll do anything to protect what few friends he'll make during the zombie apocalypse.

That's it for Keith (for now.)
Next up! Catherine!
She's the second female protagonist of my concept. She comes
from a rich family of doctors and aspires to be a doctor herself one day. She's
very polite and kind. She's also extremely shy. She's a pretty popular girl in
school and her friendly demeanor usually helps her attract people's
attention. She's very chirpy and optimistic too but sometimes, panic or anxiety
will get the better of her. So when she starts swinging around a weapon, you better get out of her
way.
Alright, our next main character is- Maria!
Maria is a transfer student who arrived in the small town of Pennsylvania with her two older brothers. She's a total bad-ass and she is as brave as she is true. She loves sports but her favorite is the crossbow. She practices everyday and because of that she's a very sharp shooter so don't make her mad. She has a fiery personality and is very short tempered. Her rebelliousness knows no bounds and she's an adventurer. An alien invitation you say? A man eating zombie apocalypse? She's game for it. Prepared even.

And this is a few of her expressions.

And now, for our forth and last protagonist- Sam and Kibble!
This is Sam and his ever faithful companion Kibble. Sam has no parents and lives in an orphanage across town. He's very bright and an encyclopedia of weirdness. He has absolutely no clue how to handle any form of weaponry. He couldn't swing a knife to save his life. But lucky for him, he doesn't have to. His best friend Kibble takes care of the scary baddies for him. Dogs aren't allowed inside the building so Kibble lives in the dumpster behind the orphanage where Sam sneaks him food now and then.

You wont be safe hiding under your blanket from these two. Rowena is a very powerful witch who has lived in this town for a very very long time. She's supposed to have died in an accident eight years before the zombie apocalypse. Could she be the one behind this tragedy? Beside her is her ever loyal partner. While Rowena may be the mastermind, Victor is no less of a criminal. He's out for blood and his main goal in life is to corrupt the town in any way he can. Rowena brews the potions and spells while Victor does the leg work for her. They are truly a duo to be dealt with.

These are the main characters of JADIZ. There's still a lot more
to come. There's still a lot of work to be done but I'll be updating the
blog/concept as regularly as I can. Hope you liked what you saw so far! Feel
free to leave me a comment if you liked it. I'd love some feedback!
Thank you!
