You get a Web of Souls!Katinkahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09290730075619094424noreply@blogger.comBlogger13125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2816460864676431386.post-639020300567375192011-09-03T22:13:00.000-05:002011-09-03T22:13:19.606-05:00news, news, what's the news?Well the good news is that volume five is now finished and work has begun on volume six. Concept art is a still a bit slow but it seems there will be a long process of recovery going on for me (the author) as I climb over my writer's block and conquer it with a hammer and chisel to write a proclamation of victory. I'm still having a tough time of it but I'm working through a lot personally right Katinkahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09290730075619094424noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2816460864676431386.post-37728286520898792282011-08-16T18:04:00.000-05:002011-08-16T18:04:14.371-05:00working hard or hardly workinglong time no update. I need to fix that don't I? On the work front things are slow and grinding at best. I'm likely to take a break for a bit when I have a chance though no promises on anything pretty and shiny. Something awfully amazing that has been keeping my hopes of working up has been reading myths a friend of mine has been writing. I find a measure of consolation in using cliches and Katinkahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09290730075619094424noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2816460864676431386.post-52465447353375317302011-07-28T11:07:00.000-05:002011-07-28T11:07:18.146-05:00Anything new?Well, I had been hoping I'd feel well enough today to scoop back up the outlines for Web of Souls but it would seem that certain household noise makers had other plans than letting me sleep. I have found something of use however. If anyone has noticed the the banner with the sweet redhead on our page that's a banner for Ka-blam where I'm looking around to gauge the costs of printing and Katinkahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09290730075619094424noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2816460864676431386.post-14177571556013258542011-07-18T17:28:00.000-05:002011-07-18T17:28:23.263-05:00concepts concepts..While obviously we can't share ALL the concepts here for the fact of spoilers and such there's no need to worry as we do still have some progress updates. I'll be first to admit I need to get back into the swing of things after vanishing for a three day convention but it has left me rather inspired to continue my work and get better at what I do. In the meantime my mind must recover from being Katinkahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09290730075619094424noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2816460864676431386.post-25961061943555449832011-07-11T16:34:00.000-05:002011-07-11T16:34:06.200-05:00A volume of volumesSo it would seem I've been hard at work and finishing the volume outlines. I've roughly been doing one a day if not half a volume's outline per day. More concept art can be expected between breaks and for anyone who follows my personal blog they can probably expect more comic and free writing updates there. I'm likely to begin updating the cast page with more characters as they introduced into Katinkahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09290730075619094424noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2816460864676431386.post-27650063423030656652011-07-08T11:21:00.000-05:002011-07-08T11:21:52.705-05:00well that's faerie nuff I guessI 'm beginning to think my titles alone will become a challenge for everyone to figure out what I'm referencing from time to time but when it comes to puns I just can't help myself. If there's such a thing as a good pun I've yet to find it but it's not like I'm bothered by bad puns. In fact I quite adore puns and for that we can probably turn a cynical eye to me having grown up reading Peirs Katinkahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09290730075619094424noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2816460864676431386.post-53310546561148110422011-07-07T16:03:00.000-05:002011-07-07T16:03:54.510-05:00Hello everyone!Dimmi here, with another update for Web of Souls! A reminder that I am the concept artist for backgrounds and locations within the Web of Souls.
Below is a rough draft concept image for Infurnace. The castle is based upon a few temples and monasteries located in Tsuen Wan. However, after a discussion over it with Katinka, the buildings will become smaller to scale.

Story time.Anyone who follows my art accounts on some sites might have previously seen the story titled Grudge Knots. If not allow me to post it here for your literary pleasure. Consider it a teaser to keep everyone guessing, enjoy!

I'll be encouraging the dear Eric to start a bit of posting here as well even if it is just silly filler like this entry. Before I go to laugh at myself some more I'd also like to thank each and everyKatinkahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09290730075619094424noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2816460864676431386.post-81965241934817664912011-07-03T19:20:00.001-05:002011-07-05T00:41:48.000-05:00Shatter Heart!Not a whole lot to report except that things are getting underway with volume one's outline and story structure beginning to be put in place for the rough draft. Revision will become an objective only after I have the entire series outlined and roughed. Polishing will happen after full revision is made.
In other news I've been practicing with my new pens and I've decided that redoing Octavia's Katinkahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09290730075619094424noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2816460864676431386.post-61182987673055633912011-07-01T16:06:00.001-05:002011-07-01T16:26:51.917-05:00I flakked your blit in Westfall..Anyone who knows where the title is from I salute you for youtube crawling and WoWing. Now about that update! (no blits were harmed in the flakking of this update)
Well, Tomorrow I'll most likely be off for a while down at the lake for some quiet R&R but you can expect me to begin the outlines for the first volume of Web of Souls aside from the usual conceptualization sketches if the trip Katinkahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09290730075619094424noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2816460864676431386.post-46231530249556054802011-06-27T21:42:00.002-05:002011-06-28T03:20:23.256-05:00Lali ho!So as I said yesterday I was working on Sihle's design next and indeed I wasn't lying! So why isn't the precious thing showing off and strutting her stuff with the other four? She's getting her own separate post is why!
I don't know why I have such a love of giving characters parts of themselves to hate and despise but I do kinda think everyone has one thing about themselves that they dislike or Katinkahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09290730075619094424noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2816460864676431386.post-2736442651408757892011-06-27T00:27:00.002-05:002011-06-27T13:47:38.179-05:00CHILL OUT!Or not.. I suppose a welcome is in order as we kick things off with a grand hello and opening of this blog! I, Katinka, will be the first to admit that not quite everything is set up but that IS the point of this blog isn't it? This will serve as an archive and as a bit of a behind the scenes or 'making of' for the project Web of Souls.
I may not have much to post just now but I do enjoy sharingKatinkahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09290730075619094424noreply@blogger.com0
