Some Art and Updates


Rheeven's path is now at 95175 words! It will be roughly on target for the word limit but I might have to cut a few thousand if it goes much over 110000. It’s been very action heavy because it’s the peak and naturally humour has taken a sideline. I'm now at the point where I need to start thinking about the twists in D'rosk's story. He can't ride on the back of Laythan's and Rheeven's. Though the stories intertwine, I want them all to have their own plot to keep things exciting. Instead of figuring it all out, I've been doing some artwork instead so allow me to introduce my next character design.

Count Oren Avio

Count Oren Avio For The Hadron Gateway


Avio is a colourful and mischievous smooth talker who delights in winding others up. He makes sure his contacts spread far and rise high, giving him the edge. Despite his constant attempts at grinding Rheeven's gears, he’s a good and fair person plus a loyal friend. I tried to capture his nature in his face and I think I got it spot on. I gave him a good sturdy build because he needs to look like a dependable friend and I kept his colours calming. I had always pictured him to have black hair until I came to colour him. I decided it was best to have Rheeven as the only black haired character in the group to keep him standing out.
So what are your thoughts?

I did some more sketches to help visualise the story and if more people would like to see then I'll upload some sketches before I get them coloured. Let me know!
