Atlantis - 003

Foundation

"The Esterina Chronicles" are a series of (rather silly) one-shot pages where some minor characters of the Altarion universe take the lead. Done for laughs, since their only goal is to provide a humorous break between the "serious" stories. That's why I'm not going to remake them, even if some are pretty old and it shows.

Atlantis - 002

Now you can find my comics also on Comic Fury: Altarion Saga - archive
Italian version: atlantis002.jpg

Characters: Helystyal

Drawing by Elena Gentinetta, who's also the character owner.

Full name: Helystyal Elnyara Miirnaju Altan
Nickname: Helyss
Title: Crown Princess of Anthira
Age: 23 standard years
Height: 178 cm
Hair: electric indigo
Eyes: electric indigo
Race: Hybrid Anthiran/Kainal

Daughter of Queen Tyelene of Anthira and prince Shetar of Theitor. Being half-kainal she has the adaptive underwater sight of her father, but lacks the ability to breathe in water. Helyss has an older brother, but was chosen as heir to the throne for a certain reason.
She appears diplomatic, charming and pretty harmless, until one gets to know her. Friendly enough to get along with anyone, but also rather spoiled - you'll never see her wearing the same outfit twice.
Helystyal's also the more classically attractive and romantic of the leading characters.

Atlantis - 001

First page of the prequel, set mostly on Earth. It deals with the setup of the Schwarze Ritter mercenary squad. Atlantis is an underwater city built with Theitian technology.

Encounter - 003

Helystyal's room at the royal palace of Anthira. The outfit she's trying on (and is supposed to wear at her engagement party)  is not an anthiran gala dress. It's an awful, multi-layered mix of anthiran and firennian trends. A gift from her fiancé, probably. Yes, they have literally liquid mirrors on Anthira.
By the way, the two girls here are cousins, since their fathers are twins. Many of the human-like races in the galaxy can cross-breed because they have common ancestors.
(Some drawings have changed from previous version, some will stay the same because I already liked them, but I need to redo all the coloring because the new pages have a higher resolution. Besides, I used way too much dodge effect.)

*Note: Helyss is the main reason why this comic would be hardly printable. Rendering her hair color in CYMK is a nightmare.

Encounter - 002

Here you can see part of the Imperial Palace exterior and its multi-level floating gardens. The ships orbiting Anthalanor belong to Arnamel's royal guard.
