Broken Silence - by Elobo

I am an Omega Borg, one of the greatest warriors of the invading forces. I was designed only for destruction, to strategize and react with deadly precisions. It's been countless years since I was abandoned on this savaged mountaintop. I was content to wait with stoic complacency, but nature now creeps back up the lonesome peak, strangling it with new life. How strange it is that the trilling of these tiny birds might warm a heart that isn't there. I was built to destroy, but where would the honour be in killing this fragile creature? Perhaps I should rethink my ethos of existence. This simple song has done away with so much of the bleak ennui of this mountain. Perhaps... this is real power?

Elobo	Sunshine In the Forest Cover	SunshineForest - #01 Hey folks, welcome to this little project. I don't normally talk about thought processes and inspirations in the comments box, but I think it's a worthwhile endeavor here. Think of it as an audio commentary, except with text.	7/16/09
Elobo	Sunshine In the Forest Page 2	SunshineForest - #03 I chose Bushie as the main character for this particular book. It's a choice I made because he is the friendliest enemy encounter in the Sunshine Forest and I felt people who have not played the series could easily identify with him.	7/16/09
Elobo	Sunshine In the Forest Page 3	SunshineForest - #04 With the other characters here I should talk about the artstyle. This was chosen as a combination of factors. I found it appealing, and I also figured it would set it apart stylistically from a lot of the other offerings. You'll notice that only the main characters or those that interact with Bushie are coloured in. This is a focal conceit.	7/16/09
Elobo	Sunshine In the Forest Page 4	SunshineForest - #05 The Ramblin' Mushroom here does not factor into the story, so he has not been brought to full attention. This technique also lets me populate the Forest with other creatures without stuffing them down someone's throat. It shows that other stories are unfolding all around this one, and a kid can extrapolate the stories themselves. I think this benefits a story that otherwise directs you from beginning to end.	7/16/09
Elobo	Sunshine In the Forest Page 5	SunshineForest - #06 Uh oh, what's all this then? There are a few hooks like this that will have later consequences. Though there is an overarching plot there are a few lessons along the way.	7/16/09
