Since I've been updating at least once a week lately (and it's now been well over a week since I last posted), I thought I better at least poke my head in and let you know that I haven't dropped off the face of the earth or anything. Of course, once the story starts I won't be updating weekly. Most likely I won't be on any set schedule at all—I'll just be updating when each chapter is done. Will that be weekly, bi-weekly, monthly? I don't know. I guess the best answer I've come up with is: it will be done when it's done. I thought about trying to adhere to a schedule, but then what if I'm then unable to maintain it? You'd be disappointed and I'd be annoyed with myself for failing to meet a deadline. And that just starts a cycle of suckiness.
Teaser 03
April 22nd, 2006
Ugh! I had a hard time with this one. You know how it is: you keep trying to make something work but it doesn't quite "click." Well, that's what happened this time around. I went through five other backgrounds for this teaser but none of them looked quite right. Finally, I created the background you see in the picture above. I'm still not entirely pleased with the results, but I'm sick of tinkering with it plus I have other things I need to work on. At this point, it's a relief just to get it on the site!
Anyway, it's Jason's turn to tease you now.
Teaser 02
April 13th, 2006
Another teaser! I had a lot of fun with this one. Anyway, it's the same guy as before but his face isn't as obscured plus I've introduced a new character. Don't worry…you'll be able to see their full faces soon.
Actually…
Would you like to see them now?
I had considered not showing you the full characters until the story started. I was afraid it would spoil something. But, we see movie characters all the time in trailers long before we ever see the actual movie. Right? And, possibly seeing the full characters will get you even more interested in their story (e.g. "Who is he/she? What is their relationship with each other?"). (You are getting a small glimpse into how my mind works things through…scary, isn't it?) So then, what am I waiting for? Why don't I take you behind the scenes of this photo shoot and show you some pictures that didn't get used. Just turn the page and let's get started.
Or, if you would rather wait until the story starts to meet the characters…then stop reading here (you're a masochist…aren't you?).
Teaser 01
March 27th, 2006
I was fooling around with a "screen test" shot I had taken of one of the characters from "Worlds Apart" this weekend and ended up creating a teaser/promo picture for you:
So, yes, the current plan is for the story to start appearing sometime this spring although I'm hoping it will be ready to appear rather sooner than later. Until then—and to build up the anticipation—perhaps I'll release some other teasers. Is that evil? mwahahaha
