So I worked some time (because I stopped and started over a few times) on drawing the coffee shop in
Aeternal Eckhoes yesterday. I think I'm finally satisfied with how it looks. Working on the colorization. I haven't quite settled on a color scheme for it.
It'll be the illustration for the intro page of the community.
( Yep, that's the line drawing below the cut. )I swear, drawing all these straight lines is a PAIN.
And yes, the coffee shop will play a large part in the story. It's there for a reason.
Meh. I was rather hoping to have the community profile up and going yesterday, with synopsis and illustration. The synopsis is NOT wanting to come. I can't get past, "Welcome to
Aeternal Eckhoes."
Also, REALLY not satisfied with my drawing of Eckho. Will have to hit the drawing board again for that one. I may eschew the sketch pad and just draw it in Gimp. Cuts out the middle man... or, well, the middle... scanner?
I'm focusing a bit on the art side of this for now, so I can get the visuals up and ready, and then I'll do some writing. Had a good brainstorming session the other day, and I think I've got a clearer idea of some of the story elements and background.
I know. I've been neglecting fannish stuff! Sorry, fannish friends list. I know you all probably aren't all that interested in my ramblings on this project! LJ has always been something of a sounding board for me, something to ramble and brainstorm on.
All right, guys, I've got work to do. See ya!
