Its coming along...
The Stanley Cup Final is here though, and my team is in it. For us backwater Canadian folk, the final round of the NHL playoffs is about as big as the World Cup for soccer/football. Our mayor for Edmonton actually gave permission for workers in any job to wear Edmonton Oilers apparel.
Its a big deal up here, I even quit my jobs because they'd conflict with me seeing the games.
Oddly enough I've spent the majority of my time sketching several of the characters in the story. Particularily the original characters, like Fasul before he became an A.I, and even a Half-Breed or two. While I freely admit to being no artist in the drawing sense, they are at least descriptive enough to get across the physical appearence of what the Forerunner's look like.
I've also tried my hand at getting the Reclaimer Battlesuit down on paper, but its a little too complex for my limited skills.
If I can track down a scanner somewhere amongst my circle of friends I'll be able to put these sketches up for you all to see. So you'll hopefully be able to get a better idea about what these characters look like, since visual descriptions are so much more defining than literary ones.
As for the actual chapter, the second installment of the Forerunner Chronicles, I believe I'll be splitting that in half, to make a grand total of 3 chapters dedicated to exploring the history of the Majal/Forerunners/Half-Breeds/Reclaimers. By splitting it in two it should cut down dramatically on the wait inbetween chapters as well, so that's good news I believe.
I have a move coming soon though, and its likely going to be a big one, so I may or may not drop out of contact in a few weeks. Just rest assured that I'm taking enough precautions so even my personal cloud of bad luck will not be able to make any disastors rise up and slay me.
