Finals have concluded, degrees have been acquired, and once again I'm on the hunt for a new job (hopefully a good one). If I had to define last year the first phrase that comes to mind is 'living hell'. Fortunately, all that nastiness is behind me now. I hope.

I know I said it would be soon on my last post, but I got delayed after my surgery. I figured doing editing passes while high on painkillers probably wasn't the best idea. Hope you all like it. Onto the next.

Next chapter is locked in and on its way. Expect to see it arrive around 12pm on Saturday. This one's a doozy, and contains quite a bit of information. Hopefully I didn't go overboard on the exposition. We'll see. See you then!

Right now you're probably thinking WHAT?

Let's just say I've had a lot of time myself since I've been bedridden for the last five days. It's amazing what can be done when classes are over and you can't even sit upright. Chapter 24 will be dropping sometime today after I finish importing it from the google doc and making some last minute edits (there's always at least one).

New chapter inbound.

Almost done. I have a few more elements to add, and some tweaks to make to the environment.

And don't worry, I'm also making progress on the chapter.

Making progress. Still a shitload of work to do. You might recognize this scene if you've been following the story. You might also recognize some serious discrepancies (he isn't wearing a helmet, for example.) You'll notice the lighting is way off too, this is mostly because I wanted to focus on form before lighting. I'll fix it later.

Let it also be known that I suck at backgrounds (Still working on improving).

I decided to start working on another large format image similar to the one I used for the cover for the stars. Here's a WIP.

Since so many people keep asking about the Unicorn ships I started sketching one out in photoshop for you all.
Here's a sketched WIP. I might take this to a full render at a later date (once I fix the glaring inconsistencies in layout and perspective).

Starting Day 1 today. Everyone else is still asleep while I am already feeling the jet lag kick in. 1 cup of coffee down, 50 to go. I'll be wandering around with a group of other people today. I have two panels, one at 3:30 and one at 6:15. At 3:30 I'll be at the community VA panel with Rev897, Meredith Sims, and Wildcard in the Sun room, and at 6:15 I'll be on the SFS main panel in the mane hall. Flag me down if you see me!

So this happened. Clockworkmage (see user page) is going to be at Bronycon this year and has apparently invented a tabletop game based on the Faderverse. Neat. I'm gonna be checking it out while I'm there and if you also want to take a look at it you should totally find him around Quill's and Sofa's, or the tabletop gaming room. What I've heard about it is really exciting so I'm eager to see what it's like. (Although, yes, I suppose I am biased.)

Chapter 21 is out.

Gonna be posting this in the morning (it's a little late right now). I've got the next update for the Stars all finished and ready to go. I'm really surprised I actually finished this one. My workload with school and work has been murder. Expect it to post just after tomorrow's episode around 10-ish PDT. Or later if I don't wake up before then.

Okay, so maybe this isn't quite as weekly as I imagined it. Regardless, I'm on spring break now, and I've been finding a good chunk of time to write in between tasks. That said I have good news for you.

The next chapter is done.

It's been a busy week. The first draft of the next Stars chapter is done, I got dragged off to the Oregon ComicCon over the weekend, I finished up a tutorial on starting VO on the cheap for SFS, burned through an assignment for my CS course, and also worked full-time--Yay me. All the while I managed to get in touch with some old gaming buddies of mine, and showed them some of the music I've been working on.

I realize that my previous post wasn't very informative, so let me expand a bit.

I am not dead, slowly getting there, maybe, but not there yet.

Update is done and posted! Bet ya didn't expect it before the end of the month.

Little thing that I've been working on for a while now. The quality isn't great, but it's part of the process for improvement.
This is Jess from the Stars.

I mentioned emails in chapter 16 and I'd rather not keep you guys too out of the loop when it comes to these things. I've got another supplementary chapter written up for 16.5 which will be dropping in the morning before I head to work.
