It’s a funny story. We had been attending a convention a few years ago with a friend of ours from University, Michaela, but our costumes we were wearing weren’t particularly matching anything. On the fly, the three of us joked about us being part of a supernatural agency, if anyone asked who we were dressed as. This joke about our cosplay outfits was actually the original spark that inspired Nadia and I to come up with the idea for Pandora. As we fleshed out the story past ‘That outfit belongs to a Miko and that one is an FBI agent’, the two of us enjoyed the idea that much that we decided to join forces to create a little studio together in order to bring Pandora and our many other ideas to life.
We came up with the studio name by combining parts of our
names together, and came up with the original concepts for our logo. While our
logo is different from that original one at this point, we kept the Wolf and
Fox motif that we had originally – our favourite animals together to represent
us, with mine being the fox, and Nadia’s being the Wolf.
While we worked on this, we came up with a few short stories
until we had a good basis on Pandora, with Nadia creating Unbound, and I
created Susanoo, along with merchandise that can be found on our individual DA
accounts (under EternalBlackRose and Chosha-Kurenai respectively). With these,
we attended a convention and sold quite a few of them. Glad that our art was so
liked, it inspired us further to create the story we really wanted to work
with.
So, for the past year, now that we’ve had planning time to
come up with a comic script and the time to get extra people to help us out in
creating a new improved logo, to help us to create music for a trailer and
more, Nadia started to work on the first volume, with the hopes that we will
switch who is drawing at the end of each volume. Meanwhile, I began another
story I had come up with a little earlier than Pandora, which was Dreamwalkers.
Which brings us to where we are now, with a website on the
way, a Pandora trailer to be created very soon and two comics that will be
ready for May, we’re all hoping to let everyone really enjoy our work!
Starting from next post, Myself and Nadia will be keeping
you all up to date on what we’ve been up to, what’s been produced and how you
all can come to see it.
If you have any questions for either of us, don’t hesitate
to contact us on tanrastudios@yahoo.co.uk and we’ll be sure to answer.
We hope that you will join us on our journey to creating our
comics and that you will enjoy the ride as much as we will.
Until then!
