this is a story about rejection. or if you like the elevator pitch "its romeo and juliet in space"
daedelus after years of upgrades and modifications, a gift from the phoenix empire for his years of dedicated service. but when he sees his old orange baseball hat he begins to remember who he is. drawn 2005 on plywood with sharpie. i used the shadow from a light bulb and the grain in the wood to see the face and thats how i drew the image.
while daedelus slept for 3000 years, the phoenix and the ash made war. one phoenix soldier raids and army of ash awaiting ash soldier. i storyboard this maybe 2004 maybe 2005. just never tried to film it. its the most expensive thing i could imagine with a pen and a storyboard template i made. everything that happens after this point of the story is "PHOENIX: last age of man". you are halfway through the entire story lore now, and you will see the rest of the drama play out against the backdrop of neverending war that accomplishes nothing. One Phoenix soldiers attacks an entire ash army.
eVe. she fights for the ash army underground. most likely born at the same time as max. 5o29+, photo of ash soldier taken 2006 or 2007. i wore it to the rose bowl parade when george lucas was grand marshal of the rose bowl parade. he gave me a wave and a nod. i also won best costume at a halloween party in vegas when nighthawk played at a festival there.
eVe sees Max for the first time when looking through the scope of her anti tank rifle and she cannot pull the trigger because they are in eachother's dreams. drawn around 2006. Max and eVe fall in love after fighting eachother in the bottom of a crater.
ITHYAS. fighting for in the phoenix empire where ancient gods are worshipped once again. the smart liquid gold from the trident engine consumes him. radiation from the planet Jupiter has taken control of it and it takes control of whoever uses it.
Phoenix Empire Priests monitor celestial bodies, tracking planet and star movement
the incubus where fresh soldiers are grown rapidly for war.
the matter manifestation manifold on the moon. drawn 2004 ish before 3d printers, its a plane of energy that can convert nano nickel into any substance except gold. depicted here is a steel i beam ingot coming out of it like a candy bar in a factory. which can be used for structure or stored and melted for other use. phoenix armor is pocketed with microscopic layers, giving the phoenix armor much more durability than anything the ash can make.
a phoenix drop ship unloads 50,000 soldiers on earth.
Max signals to eVe. drawn 2005, who went to the moon to free max after his trials for his betrayal for being with eVe, a sworn enemy of the phoenix and an ash soldier. she was not aware max was already on the earth looking for her. and it was all a big miscommunication. also the ash are not happy with eVe for being with max either. and she has become an outcast. the only way they can be together is if they can end the neverending nightmare war and both empires crumble and the old and new nations and tribes are recognized and reclaim the land again once it is reinhabitable.
eVe rips ithyas in half when she comes out of the ground with a fire sword she found in a temple deep underground
in talks with band for this part.
even with all of his ambition and flaws, and after fighting against Max his whole life, finally grasps a higher understanding and in fact attain enlightenment. instead of dying from the fire sword cut, ithyas uses his new unlimited power to stop the moon from crashing into earth by lifting it up with 1000 arms.
after max and eve destroy the phoenix empire and create a world where they can be together, Daedelus' journey comes to and and and he breaths his last breath looking at the burning surface of the earth where his farm once was. In a death vision he returns back home to the farm, where everything was green, in his time in 2098, back to the way it was except also with the arcologies and megacities and electric cars and stuff. becuase no memories are lost. and the ultimate weapon is forgiveness and compassion.
