A Broken Winter Colouring Contest

Mon Feb 1, 2010, 1:25 AM
:snowflake: What is A Broken Winter? :snowflake:

A Broken Winter is an online manga-influenced graphic novel. It is written and created by :icondecimalblue: and illustrated by :iconarchie-the-redcat:.

A Broken Winter takes place on a planet outside of our solar system, centuries after Earth has been abandoned. It follows the story of a young boy, Kokkan. As the son of revolutionary parents, Kokkan is branded a political threat. He's captured in a raid meant to target his father, and sentenced to death. His life is spared by a General who sees a similarity between the boy and his deceased son, confining Kokkan to a life of servitude at Irihi - the slaughterhouse.

The illustration used in this contest reflects what Kokkan's life at Irihi is like.

A Broken Winter can be read online for free here: [link]

we live like vampires and we love like killers, we die like infants and we trust like mirrors....
:iconabrokenwinter:
Thank you, I think. :blushes: The plot, at this point, is strongly influenced (in certain respects) by the events of the Holocaust, but it does move away from it as the story progresses.

Don’t try to live so wise.
Don’t cry ‘cause you’re so right.
Don’t dry with fakes or fears,
‘Cause you will hate yourself in the end.

x - - Out of my deep despair,
my lover sang a melody.
He sent a ray of light to me,
and saved me from the darkness.

'cause when I heard his voice,
it sparked a distant memory--
A savior calling out to me
to set me free...
