I finally finished all the character sheets for the main cast. Whew! I suppose I could add sheets for the Brothers in Badness, Gil and Faron Haldor, but let's leave them a surprise for later. Now it's on to much more solid writing, such as true bios, settings and background. I'll also be posting some works done by my good friend, Dr-Ngor dr-ngor.deviantart.com/, who has graciously allowed me to post his work to my page. He's produced a beast design and a map of the continent of il-Satol, or at least the portion of the continent that's been charted. He also has extensive notes for the map which I will be including as well. I'm really impressed with the work he's done and am anxious to get it posted this weekend. Stay tuned!

In other news, my Delvii short story, "It Grows By One," was given an in-depth critique by Acfloriath acfloriath.deviantart.com/ after I submitted it to a literature contest at dA group Sci-Fi-Fantasy-WORLD sci-fi-fantasy-world.deviantar…. Thank you very much, Acfloriath!

I have two new artwork commissions to share in two very different styles. I think they're both very fitting of their respective stories.

The first contains full-frontal nudity, because it's a scene that takes place while Thalia is being aggressively confronted in the public showers. So... fair warning there. This was done by the talented jackcrowder jackcrowder.deviantart.com/. I love his take on pop art. It has a certain near-surreal feel to it that suits the frantic and dark setting of the chapter in which this piece was based on.

If you decide you'd rather not see Thalia naked, do note that my current avatar is from this piece, so at least you get to see part of it. I love Thalia's glowing eyes.

On the complete opposite end of the spectrum is a piece by the lovely moonchildinthesky moonchildinthesky.deviantart.c…. Catching a break from their long travels, Thalia and Suha stop to get a fresh set of clothes, and by some miracle Thalia convinces Suha to partake in some basic hygiene as well. Suha is suitably displeased with this, but at least she's clean now! Moonchildinthesky did a great job adding all the earthy tones to the piece. Not only does it accurately represent their environment, but it adds warmth to the scene.



D'aww! I'm also starting to really love Thalia's hair. It started with Weremole's design (to be posted at a later date), was picked up by Probablee's design, and in both of these commissions retains its long, fluffy, auburn-y goodness.

That's about it for now, folks. Thanks for stopping by, as always, and be on the lookout for more of my never-ending world-building!
