The Watch is an on-going thesis project, a comic of a NEET called Xian, who finally steps out of his room to work as a Night Guard. But the Building he guards has something more installed for him.
This is going to a super long post of some pre-production concepts and sketches done.
And now, introducing the characters involved:
Xian: The main character, the 25 year old NEET who has a cynic view of the world and life. He is a man who just gives up easily and unsure of what to do with his life, thus seeking comfort/satisfaction in the gaming world (especially MMORPG) in his room. It is until a drastic event overturn his entire world that leads him outside his room to become a Night guard.
Character Turnaround
Xian's Development
Chen: The senior elderly night guard, who becomes Xian's supervisor. Xian does not like the old man the first time he meets him, somehow, the smiles on that elderly man just irritates him. Taking things at his stride, the smiling elderly oversees the security of the entire corporation building by himself for many years. Which to Xian, entirely suspicious.

The Others: The nightly inhabitants that 'haunts' the corporation building Xian is guarding for the first time. At day, they disappear. But at night, by some mysterious force, they materialize to a semi physical body inside the building. Consists of strong fears from the hearts of people, legends and myths (eg boogeymen, 'gods) and the spirits of the land the building is on.
