La-Mulana for Wiiware!

I do have some reservations, but overall, I’d say I’m excited.

Okay, so apparently I don’t know how to embed video in my blog.  Good!  I hate it when pages with embedded video load slowly for me.  You can just follow this link instead.

Siiiigh….

I Would Have, But I Was Playing Oblivion

Well, having rediscovered The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion this week, it seems that I forgot to write a post!  I was also distracted by a leak in my living room, coming from the apartment above mine.  One of my window frames suddenly began weeping a yellow liquid that I hope to God was water.

So now, you get a paper I wrote for a senior-year class at Bard.  It’s about language and memories from a freshman-year class (the assignment was to include “memories from schooling,” and although the intention was clearly to have us reach further back than college, I was only too eager to take advantage of the prompt’s ambiguity).  I’m actually glad that I had to go through my old files for today’s content–when else would I ever get a chance to post this?

Comments are always welcome!

Profile Dump

It’s Overload Your RSS Reader day!  Today’s update is a series of five new character profiles related to The Arc of Time; scroll down to see them in separate posts below.  They will also be added to the main cast page, too (the one linked on the sidebar)  I’ll probably have some more of these to add later on, too.

Sorry for the lack of commentary to go with these, but I think they should be allowed to speak for themselves.

Production Art 9/11/09

My, we’ve had an awful lot of text around here lately, haven’t we?  Time for a change of pace.  Here are some images associated with The Arc of Time…line art, larger versions of some small stuff on the cover, and so on.  Click on them to make them bigger.

Clockwise from the first, these images are:

1) The original line art for The Arc of Time’s cover.

2) The guide I used to create the shape and placement of the various “shards” on the cover.

3) Line art for Lyle on the cover, with several practice facial expressions.

4) Line art for Tre on the cover, also with several practice facial expressions (note that I add the “WHS” on his sweater in Photoshop, not by hand).

5) Bigger version of the topmost image on the cover, featuring Jenn, Nick, and a newcomer.

6) Line art and experimentation for the episode six title card image.  If you want to know what that thing is, well, you’ll just have to read the book!
