For once, the enemies share in the same fear, as everything begins to fall apart. The only hope now is within the mind.

As of 3 years ago today, the first 4 page of Portals: The Arrival were released. To celebrate this day and to end this string of posts, I am sharing 3 character sheets made from 2020-2022, 2 of which never being previously seen.
#portalscomic #portalsthearrival #characterart

The first page of the short lived comic, originally releasing on New Year's Eve of 2019, the very end of it to be exact, I remember I was in a rush posting it. It's pretty similar to the first page of the 2021 comic, although this one is closer in tone to the current one whereas the 2021 version was way goofier as a correction for me finding this iteration and probably the 2018 sequel I did too serious. Funny now in hindsight, but I understand where the concern came from. Fun fact: one of my old 2018 OCs named H.S.L.R-P appears as a plush doll here in the first panel.

The second, April Fools page of the comic. As you can probably tell there was a bit of gap between pages, and so I decided to make a new page as a joke on the subject, not knowing it would actually be the last, but I don't mind since I vastly prefer what I have now. For the joke I decided to have myself come into the story and talk about minuit life stuff. It's a bit awkward now as this was my early 2020 self and I was weirder and younger, but aside from that it's kind of funny, so it's not all bad I suppose. It's also the only "modern" Portals project to directly reference copyrighted material in substantial ways, because I didn't care about continuity in a joke page. This is also extremely dated, more than the current comic that explicitly exists in 2016 even though everything here is several years ahead in 2020. That's not bad, just funny. Like the first page, this one also features some of my OCs, my Five Nights at Freddy's OCs, Stanley and Guardlock.

Continuing the celebration of Portals: The Arrival's 3rd anniversary, I'll now be showing something much older than it, the short lived 2019 comic. It only received 2 pages and one of them is from April Fools, but it led to the current comic so it's worth something. More info in ALTs

The first of the two promotional artworks, originally released alongside a character sheet at the very end of 2020. It depicts a close up shot of the Portals logo out in a grassy field, focusing in on the "P" and "O", whilst also showing "The Arrival" subtitle beneath it as the point of the promo image was to reveal the full title of the comic. Since then, it has been used as the default Portals social media banner for the past several years.

The second of the two promotional artworks, made just before the current cover artwork for the comic. Originally it was supposed to tease the comic, but it didn't get properly used likely due to the several inconsistencies with the artwork. Notably, it refers to Portals: The Arrival as "Portals 1: The Arrival", and the designs for Bob, Larry and the portal are slightly different than how they're depicted in the actual comic.

As of yesterday, Portals: The Arrival's first page turned 3 years old. To celebrate, I will be sharing several pieces of Portals history, starting with the promo art. The art for the cancelled 2021 comic, and an unused artwork for the 2022 comic we currently have.

Portals: The Arrival (Chapter 1, Pages 116-118) The power of a Silver should never be underestimated, especially that of a leader.

Portals: The Arrival (Chapter 1, Pages 113-115) Perhaps this opponent is more powerful than Larry gave her credit for.

Portals: The Arrival (Chapter 1, Pages 103-105) Bob makes a narrow escape, although it isn't long before Piker once again catches up to him. However, maybe Bob no longer has to worry about an imminent death.

When things are getting tense, it is good to take a step away and focus on other things to calm down until you're ready to confront it, such as more intensity.

ESS69

Ghoul

With last month having a ton of new pages, it's unlikely there will be any new ones this month. However in the meantime, I can make some new character renders, with me going back and doing artworks of ESS69, and a Ghoul a couple days ago

Portals: The Arrival (Chapter 1, Pages 84-87) Back with the other brother, things don't seem to be going so well for him as the Silvers grow more persistent. However, maybe Larry has a way to stop them, for good?

Portals: The Arrival is my most ambitious project, with many hours put into the pages and writing. However, it wasn't always the way it is now.
Here's all of the pages to the failed 2021 version, of which would be adapted into what we have now.

As the fight goes on, things become increasingly more intense. Luckily for Bob however, none of the warriors seem to notice him, and so he is left out of it... Or is he?
