Update, and a Renewed Outcy

The book, such as it is, stands at 23,232 words and eight chapters. I will be wrapping the first "act" in the next two chapters and, if all goes well, I will have the rough draft done by mid-April.

That's when things will get interesting. I want to publish it, because damn it I've invested too much time to only have a handful of people read it, but I would rather not go the conventional route. To that end I have created a Kickstarter account for the Chorus.

I'm not asking you to contribute to it, just to take a look, maybe tell some folks, help me spread the word. I don't know what I need, or whether I deserve to get it, but I would appreciate anything really. Even if that is just someone telling me that I'm full of crap and should probably stop wasting my time.

So I thought I should include some of my ceramic art, (now on display at Wilson Library at the U of M) (!), to give some context to my architectural explorations... These pots are actually from the very beginning of last semester, so it's been a while...

The Engine Man Cometh

So, I hate small towns. May they all die the same death as this one...

Jillian Again

More senior project stuff. Jillian doesn't actually have that color hair, but that's her image color for the project so I guess it sort of makes sense? This is a weird drawing because it's sort of related to the actual project, but more is just me being bored, and scanning something that wasn't inked. Thus the funny lines. Colored and toned. Herpderp. Maybe it should look a little more like...this?
Yeah something like that is a bit more accurate. Though, after discussion with my SP class, Nicholas' color is going to be a bit darker. Jillian and Nicholas apparently suck at finding their way around places. Also, just look at that map, no wonder they're confused!

Redgirl Model

Edit: Here's my current revisions

Um, not sure if titties are allowed on blogger and was too lazy to check, soooo, yah. Anyway, I've been working on this model for over a month, and I need to rig it before Tuesday. So crit ASAP pleaaaaase. It's the same woman that I put concept images up of. I just haven't made her hair or clothes yet. I specifically am having trouble with her shoulder blades and neck. Thoughts?

The Book

So, instead of working on my novel like I should be doing I wrote this little... thing. Allow me to present whatever it is courtesy of Phillip K. Dick and Jorge Luis Borges.

Quick and dirty workup of an image I've had sitting around. Colors are really hard for me without a source I can steal them from.

Expressions

and by expression I mean maniacal laughing.
