Night Time: The Lone Survivor

Share

Im just posting this drawing that I already posted on DA because I really enjoyed working on this drawing and I want to share it with all of you (even if you have already seen it on DA)


Before I could tell this story, allow me to explain on how Night Time was originally created back in 2017. The Night before 7/30/2017 

I was just wondering on what to draw related to this one screenshot from the anime "Tokyo Ghoul" which was a screenshot of the main character holding the body of his best friend in the snow or something. I wasn't sure on what to draw, until I eventually just gave up and went to sleep, and when I went to sleep, I had a dream related to me and my older sister Hailey.


I dont remember much about this dream, but what I mostly remember was in the dream, I was slowly waking up in a room with gun, and a lantern. The moment that I woke up in the dream, my sister walked into the room asking if I managed to survive the night, I answer her yes and then she told me to get my things as we had all day to go.

and so me and my sister then went off to walk around during the day trying to find a new place to go, and then the dream ended just like that.

Once I woke up from that dream, I instantly knew what I wanted to draw as I decided to take that dream and turn it into a story like thing, tried working on some logic based around the dream that I had and so thats how I came up with Night Time and the 1st 2 drawings that I did for this was these drawings iu_979515_10067648.webpiu_979516_10067648.webp

these drawings were made back in a pretty old drawing program which was either MS Paint or some program called "GIMP" or something like that.


So the series was about me and my sister being the last human beings alive, trying to find a new home and trying to survive every night from whatever horror lies within the darkness. They will face struggles, they lose many people who we hold dear, but we keep going as we are the only family that we have left.

Sooooooooooo yeah that was like the main focus of the story of Night Time, both Skyler and Hailey also encountered some new allies but these new allies... are not alive in a way. Their zombies but they still have humanity to them (in other words their like the ghouls from the Fallout series. The talking ghouls, not the ghoul enemies) 

These allies are a wolf named "Spirit", a girl named Carrie, and 2 guys named Danny who use to be a professional boxer, and Michael who used to be an ex solider in the gulf war. (There are other allies but its mostly just these 4 most of the time lol)


So whats "Night Time: The Lone Survivor"?

well The Lone Survivor is the first entry to a Night TIme anthology series where every entry follows the footsteps of a different characters


This story "The Lone Survivor" takes place during the events of the "Night Terrors" (The Night Terrors is the Night Time's version of a zombie outbreak but instead of just zombies, there is also monsters of all kinds that comes out during the night, and this event pretty much wiped out nearly the whole human population within a matter of a few weeks) The story also takes place in San Francisco


The story centers around a man named "Francis" who is the ONLY survivor from a failed evacuation train route that had crashed due to unknown reasons. His goals is somewhat clear, now armed with only a torch (aka a flashlight or a lantern or something) Francis must find his own way out of San Francisco in order to find salvation, he may have to take a few detours here and there to achieve his goal to make it out alive, and if he's not careful, he might end up being somethings "dinner"


The other thing that I can say about "The Lone Survivor" is that its also a Virtual Reality Survival Horror game (I like making some video game ideas)

I would explain more about it but it would make the description too long, so Im just gonna give ya the link to the DA version of the drawing that has the whole description that explains about the game

my view when i look at the cover of this is like Silent Hill play style but first person, but i still like that it's a zombie game survival

about the flashlight, can we look for like a harness that can attach it on your upper right chest instead of holding it?

SkylerToons responds:

I'm glad u like the drawing ^^
yeah Silent Hill is a pretty good form of inspiration ^^


well since this game is a VR game, the flashlight will automatically fly right back onto you if you drop it or throw it away, so a harness isn't fully necessary but I do see what your saying

I never read any of your Night Time stories, and in just one of your drawings, it appears that you're deceased on one of the chapters.

I seem to like the story here and also the gameplay seems like a good idea that it's an inspiration to the Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners. :]

SkylerToons responds:

yeah, I wanted this game to have a lil mix of that game in it ^^

SWS: SOMEONE SAY GIMP!?
