Good morning/afternoon sir
forrestjones2010
hey man
i am writing on the story
cagedmind0531
Cool beans
forrestjones2010
i have Tearan and Corrin making a stretcher to take Grave to Iboga, the medicine man near the fringe of the village
cagedmind0531
Stretcher huh...need to write that's he's too dizzy to walk or something then
Then again he does keep passing out
forrestjones2010
got it covered
cagedmind0531
Cool
forrestjones2010
After this near collapse into the river Taeran calls back to the other men for help to carry Graven to Iboga, the medicine man, of the village. It is night and the medicine man resides just outside the perimeter of the village where he plies his wares as magician and judge to the tribe. Corrin take Mach and get a stretcher and supplies for the trek to Iboga's; and Corrin, he pauses for a moment, get my bow. Taeran, what do you need the bow for? There is no time to explain just grab the bow.
A stretcher is made from the discarded limbs of the forest strong and secure to carry Graven from the center of the village to the medicine man's domain in the event that he is unconsious the whole way. Twenty minutes go by and the crew is now ready to depart for the journey.
cagedmind0531
Cool. So far I like
forrestjones2010

i just started so thats all i gots
cagedmind0531
Do you remember how I described runic beings/plants?
forrestjones2010
be thinking about what Graven wants...his deep motivations and desires
refresh me if you have time
cagedmind0531
Basically they have tough skin and are covered with veins of like a red lava. They die when their purpose fades. THey could have 3 fingers
Not sure about that though
forrestjones2010
btw all the new names i make up are jus place holders
cagedmind0531
Oh they seem good so far.
forrestjones2010
k
something strange
ch 2 of the chrome the main character has his eyes burned out and gets enhanced vision...
no joke...
cagedmind0531
ha, that's crazy
I read that by the way but I didn't quite follow it all.
forrestjones2010
i go into 3 paragraphs or so how an operation has to be performed
cagedmind0531
Yeah I remember that
forrestjones2010
you read that? where i havent posted chapter 2 yet
cagedmind0531
Oh I meant chapter 1. There was something about chrome being poored over someone
I figured that was what you meant.
forrestjones2010
no bother i thought that was just wicked strange
cagedmind0531
Isn't chrome poored onto someone in chapter 1? or did I totally misread that
forrestjones2010
i would have to reread to say for sure...its kind of a long ch
cagedmind0531
oh well if even you don't know then I don't feel so bad lol
Did you get a study of Order drawn?
forrestjones2010
the med. man can be used to explain how his body works
cagedmind0531
oooh good call
forrestjones2010
i posted a few sketches of various things
cagedmind0531
Maybe they think his purpose is fading...but in reality he is being swarmed with it
forrestjones2010
none of them have soul so i am still searching
i love the word swarm
cagedmind0531
Down the line the 'ether' that is his blood turns blue instead of red.
forrestjones2010
and the others stay red?
cagedmind0531
yes for now
forrestjones2010
k
cagedmind0531
It goes from red to purple to blue
forrestjones2010
does it change color as they loose their purpose?
cagedmind0531
No. It just starts to fade
forrestjones2010
k
cagedmind0531
Maybe they see blue flecs in it when they examine him
I'm not sure what level of tech they should have, I haven't thought about it.
forrestjones2010
i am thinking amazonian shaman plants for medicines sticks bows axes
no guns
cagedmind0531
Maybe describing some makeshift microscope would be ok...not sure
I have some ideas for order btw. Working on a sketch in my spare time while beth is here.
forrestjones2010
sweet...dont let me keep you
i have to step out for a bit...be back on later
additions made...light edit complete on shard 2...
cagedmind0531
shard 2?
forrestjones2010
The Fracture Shard 2
cagedmind0531
You mean chapter 2? or you mean too as in 'also'
forrestjones2010
the title of the post is The Fracture Shard 2
cagedmind0531
oh ok
It's going really well so far. I really like it. What's the bow for?
forrestjones2010
just in case Graven goes mad and gets violent...self protection or perhaps forshadowin to some jealousy of his power
cagedmind0531
Interesting
forrestjones2010
its just a what if to get the reader to think...and we may or may not use it
cagedmind0531
Good idea. I like it
forrestjones2010
so this achieves a tangible direction?
cagedmind0531
I think so. It certainly seems ALOT more accessible then before.
What's your opinion?
forrestjones2010
i am rolling with it
alot can come out from the wise medicine man perspective and it can still be a bit cyptic
cagedmind0531
Yeah I for sure think that's a good idea.
I think I have Order mask down pat
forrestjones2010
nice...did you post it?
cagedmind0531
No I just have it visualized and I'm working on it now
forrestjones2010
cool
cagedmind0531
Lots of geometry
forrestjones2010
you are good at that..
question
cagedmind0531
shoot
forrestjones2010
what chapter does "fracture shard 2" go in?
cagedmind0531
1
forrestjones2010
is it the opening?
cagedmind0531
We may do a prologue
But yes basically
forrestjones2010
k...just wanted to make sure
cagedmind0531
The medicine man examining him is a good point to have a picture drawn of ether being biology
forrestjones2010
dig
did you see my crow?
cagedmind0531
Let me go check it out
I saw it. It's hella cute
Why does it have a chain? The crow doesn't have a chain
forrestjones2010
hella cute huh?
it was a study
cagedmind0531
The face looks good but I think the body feels a bit small
forrestjones2010
like a 2 minute drawing
k
i wasnt happy with it
there will be more birds im my future
cagedmind0531
I think it would look good in charcoal honestly because it's a 'crow of shadows'
forrestjones2010
i can do charcoal
cagedmind0531
You do charcoal very well
forrestjones2010
black paint and white paint on top
thanks
that would work too
cagedmind0531
Do you think it should be a crow or a raven?
forrestjones2010
either works...raven alludes to poe and i love poe
cagedmind0531
This mask is looking too much like voltron!
lol
or a transformer
forrestjones2010
i created a MASTER copy on the temp blog to work from so we dont get all scattered with where everything is...does that work for you?
cagedmind0531
whatever helps you is fine. What are you up to right now anyway?
forrestjones2010
hangin with Tish
cagedmind0531
This mask stuff is alot more work then I thought it would be. You set the bar really high
forrestjones2010
dont worry about that first mask...just do your thing...we will work it all in
cagedmind0531
I have a couple or rough sketches let me send them
forrestjones2010
k
cagedmind0531
brb gotta scan
It scanned kinda small but it's posted
Our scanner sucks
Not to mention I don't really know how to work it
forrestjones2010
gotcha...i cant see it well but what i do see is looking good
cagedmind0531
I reposted it bigger
forrestjones2010
rock
cagedmind0531
I don't like the face texture but using the sun in the center looks good.
Maybe you can incorporate that somehow. If not no biggie. I'll work on it too
forrestjones2010
indeed
we are going to step out for a bit...catch ya later
cagedmind0531
ok man, laters
