I'd like to start off by wishing everyone all the best for this year, and to thank anyone who has taken even a passing interest in our progress over the past two years. We're going to get things started with a few updates.
You may notice the title of the blog has changed. Yes, I did start it off under the moniker "offblue harvest", which was a slight nod to Blue Harvest, George Lucas' code name for Star Wars when it was in production. But as time marches on, some adjustments are needed, and a code name is no longer appropriate at this stage.
The title Carthaniss Keep is not the title of our novel, but it does refer to an important location. If you want to take it as a sign of progress, we won't stop you.
Secondly, as far as the progress of the writing goes (Tim's constant challenge), we're about 30-40% complete. However, seeing as how we're still in a position to make creative changes, this number could change as well. As the scribe, Tim has found a more comfortable footing in terms of pacing, scene writing, etc, and as such will make changes to some major segments in parts of the book we had already thought of as complete.
Third and thirdmostly (thanks Bobby Bottleservice) we are less than a month away from obtaining our very own Wacom Cintiq, which will make the creation of the artwork much more fluid for Dave. When we actually do get the Cintiq, we're going to nerd out with D&D-esque board games and lots of mead (pictures will be provided).
As always, here is some sample artwork. What you see below is the actual layout of one of our very first scenes, and I think you'll agree with me that the quality of the artwork we've seen is always increasing.
Feel free to leave comments, and look for more posts! They should be coming more frequently in the days to come.
Cheers.
