Previously known as AoiRemArt, we are two girls who just love making comics together.
We decided to change our alias to have a fresh start again, and Four O’Clocks Art is a neat name with many meanings close to our hearts.

Our career as cartoonists started with fancomics. During this time, we became aware of the existence of “Jack Savage“, a secret rabbit agent, who should have been the main character of an old Disney script discarded before it could appear on the big screen. We liked the idea so much that we decided to take inspiration from it and create our own version of this figure, personally defining his appearance, psychology and background, as well as choosing an original name for him (Jack Turner) which could replace the “basic” one at the right moment. At first, we included Jack in our fancomics, along with other “pure” characters (that is, characters who weren’t directly inspired by other concepts), but then we realized that our creations had become too complex and multifaceted to be reduced to figures in comics created to merely satisfy an already existing fanbase; so, we deleted our old works and decided to focus only on original comics, that is, which didn’t contain any reference to the universe we had worked on until that point.

Unfortunately, Jack’s old name still makes us subject to the attention of some readers convinced that our character is the same as the one of the discarded script and, consequently, that all the work we do is, in its entirety, just a fanon extension of that world “Jack Savage” should have been part of; however, it is not. Except for the “Savage” surname, and for a couple of graphic elements resembling those of the base from which we took inspiration, there is absolutely nothing that unites Jack with the figure that inspired his birth: we don’t deny that Jack’s origins are linked to someone else’s idea, but we can’t allow this fact to define him as character forever; Jack is what we made of him, not “what Jack Savage should have been if he made it to the big screen”.

That’s why, even if it hasn’t been confirmed in comics yet, and even if we’re going to still call Jack “Savage” for a while in our works, every reference about Jack’s name will be officially addressed as Jack Turner on this site, for this is his actual name as our own character. The reason why he had to change surname from Turner to Savage will be made clear in the future, and his actual name will be effectively used in the next new comic we’re planning to make. Moreover, those little graphic elements in common with his source (here’s the only existing image about it) will be removed in the most logical possible way.

Hi everyone,
very soon we’ll begin the publication of ☾YMBERLIGHT, our official comic telling the story of Jack Turner and Cynthia Walker, consequently excluding the production of more spinoff comics from now on.

During the making of the pages, we have reached some conclusions, both on a graphic and narrative level, and now we wish to share them with our most affectionate readers so that they don’t get confused while reading our new product for the first time. PLEASE NOTE: most of the changes that have occurred are visual and coincide with the natural growth and evolution of Rem, the designer. The facts regarding the background and development of the characters are not affected by these changes. However, stories that refer to “deprecated” visual details of the characters may present slight inconsistencies. Unfortunately, these stories are unlikely to be edited retroactively.

In short, animals in this comic have been further anthropomorphized compared to our previous works, which means:

• • more human limbs. All the characters will have five fingers, arms and legs will look basically human. From now on, on a narrative level, we’ll refer to them by using the generic terms “hands” and “feet” for every type of animal;
  • animals always wear footwear on their feet, with rare exceptions;
  • animals that are less likely to be anthropomorphized (elephants, hippos, massive animals in general) will be depicted in such a way as to resemble the “massive human” model;
  • females have more or less prominent breasts according to their species, age and personal physical conformation, as it holds true for real women;

These graphic changes affect all our characters, old and new. Furthermore, in the specific case of Jack Turner, the following change will be introduced:

• the striped pattern that characterized Jack since his first appearance, and that caused us a lot of trouble, will be treated as if it had never existed. This means that in Cymberlight, from now on, whenever we narrate episodes from Jack’s past, the mentioned pattern will be replaced with another “original pattern”. Again, this means that, on a graphic level, the old striped pattern will be officially invalidated.

It would be too costly to include this graphic modification in all our old comics and drawings, so no change will be made to what is included in the ☾YMBERLIGHT:PROTOTYPE series. Therefore, we ask you to consider this change as nothing more than a graphic evolution of the designer. In the case of stories that make explicit reference to his striped pattern, they will be modified or removed from the canon timeline. Every other narrative content, both novels and comics, will retain its canonical value, for the pattern on Jack’s face has never influenced the background and development of the characters.

That’s what awaits you. If you don’t like the sound of it, feel free to stop following us, but please refrain from making a fuss under our work.
Anyway, be aware that nothing about the essence of our characters will change. Jack will always be Jack, with or without stripes, with four or five fingers, etcetera. Same goes for every other character, because none of them has never been bound to their appearance.

Hope you’ll understand and be able to enjoy ☾YMBERLIGHT.
