Digital Reader – fantasy houses and a star in space
In this starting, very first version. There are two stories. Now about the artistic part. Digital Reader is both software and reading. That is, reading short stories. With a picture. The title page of the story is the picture and the title. And the stylization with the color scheme. The story's letters and the background.
It's also reading stories. Picture and color scheme. Two stories. One about fantasy and adventure. The second is science fiction and space exploration. Adventure and the sea. On one hand. And the depths of space. And a bright star on the other. Two stories. On different topics. One thing in common – they are short stories.
The first story. Adventurers. It tells of adventurers walking along the pavement. In the city. To the port. There are already sailing ships. And a blue sky with clouds. They are walking. And preparing for a new journey. It's like fantasy. Like anime. Like the YS video games where the hero sails on a ship. Then there's a shipwreck. And he's off on a new adventure. Or like anime about fantasy adventurers, or Dungeons & Dragons.
Only here there are heroes, a whole party, a bunch of heroes, a group. A mage, a warrior. Different classes. A healer. There's an elf. Literally four heroes. They're heading to the ships in the port. Their vacation is over. And they're ready for new adventures. Summer. A fresh sea breeze blows. The heroes are walking. And they say goodbye to the city. They won't see it again for a while.
You—you ended up in this world, you don't remember how. Like in Final Fantasy 10. You just ended up in this world. And you became an adventurer. Here the crew is heading to the ship. To sail again. To the island. To explore it. I'm already remembering episodes from previous dungeon crawls. I myself used to be a fan of watching anime. Slayers. Slayers. That's what it was called. About the sorceress Lina Inverse. And her friends. This is also a good memory. To begin the story.
Look at the picture I drew. This bright sky. Clouds. Such beautiful houses. And a stone pavement. And you're walking among these houses. Just like the island in Might and Magic 6, 7, 8. There are often islands there. I love that series of games – Might and Magic 6, 7, 8 in particular. This blue sky. This green grass. And such houses. One-story houses. I remember them very well. Here's the illustration.
Color scheme. Light. Bright. White background. Everything is so light and relaxed. Like a seagull in the sky. The sea. The ocean. And the sky. Pleasant weather.
The second story. A Star Explosion. It's written in a different style. Science fiction. Science. And space exploration. You're aboard an exploratory starship. Such a noticeable size. Like the Enterprise from Star Trek. And you look through the central screen. The front screen. At a huge star. Scientists have already figured out what will happen next in this star's life. And here's an observation. And a reflection. Calm. About space. Cosmic forces, the elements. About the future.
A reflection on how even your research spacecraft might visit this place again. And see a new cycle in the star's life. Similar research topics were in Star Trek: Voyager, The Next Generations. Probably my favorite TV series. I was studying to be an engineer and watched them with pleasure. Motivation to finish my studies. To reach the end. Half reality. Half dream. Such a leisurely story.
Done in black. Space is black. Majestic and calm black. And an image of a sphere. Just a circle. A huge yellow circle. It's a star. And black space. Something to think about. About life and about yourself. To think about space, stars, an engineer. A writer.
