1996 NOW IN COLOR - Third version
The first time i applied colors to my pages.
I decided to create this version, just as another test. If i ever wanted to do this story as i imagined it, i needed to learn how to use color to achieve the results i had inside my imagination.
At that time i was experimenting with color pencils and so i decided to try and create a full color version, but with drawings based on the last black & white version of 92 because i didn´t wanted to create another version from scratch.
It was by that time that i noticed the colors i choosed for my Prince Ziph character were exactely the colors from the Portuguese flag. Nice coincidence, but totaly non planned, altough it works great because i´m Portuguese, despite not having a single nationalistic or patriotic bone in me.
I also had the idea of trying to divide the whole 50 pages story into several publishable episodes and this was an atempt to see how and if this would work.
Meanwhile a new comics competition appeared in Portugal. I sent this version to apply, but the competition closed for unexpected reasons and the organizers stole my originals (it´s a long story).
It was the first and the last time i ever sent originals anywhere.
Specialy to Portuguese organized things like this.
