New AE art!

Siorus, also known as shadesofsamhain.

He'll get some air time on the community later today, once I've written it.  Stay tuned!

Ser's colorized drawing is complete. It can be seen on her user profile. And yes, that is a baby fox. And no, the baby fox is not exactly a baby fox.

Still have to write something from her perspective. Hrmmmmm.... *takes off artist hat, puts on writer hat*

Today's work in progress:

Character design for Ser.

Today's artwork!



( A different pic of Eckho, and Emilie's Coffees and Cakes complete. )

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!

And, she's finished!






EDITED TO ADD:  I set up the community finally.  I don't have the time to get it fully set up quite yet, but it's aeternal_eckho .  This is where all character posts, art, etc will be consolidated in a somewhat chronological manner.  Membership will be closed to character blogs (and my creator blog) only, but you all are more than welcome to watch the community and interact with the characters.  One thing I'm trying to accomplish with this project is a level of suspended reality within the world of these characters that readers can participate in.
