New Character Portrait: Drakken (Almost There!)

The newest character portrait in the series, Drakken.

This was meant to be done some time ago, I know, but it turns out I didn't have the right skin colour. So I had to order a new marker. Not that it was perfect either but it was better. And the hair is supposed to be black. @.@

Anyway, Drakken is the main character of the story, besides Blade, and is usually the one whose insight we see most often. Drakken is a captain in the Warchief's army, a strong yet kind warrior.

Almost there now! Only one more character portrait for the main  group! I may or may not do some of the others but we'll see.

New Character Portrait: Kar'zhel

The newest character portrait in the series, Kar'zhel. 

This friendly troll is a member of Drakken's group of companions and accompanies everyone on their adventures. An enhancement shaman, he is friendly and laid back.

Keep an eye open because some time over this next week I will be posting the portrait for Drakken. Only two more to go!

New Character Portrait - Blood-Eye Blade

New character portrait for The Legend of Blood-Eye Blade Fanfic. 

Setheren Lightbearer/Blood-Eye Blade

Do ignore the extra red lines on the left and the rather extreme yellowness of his hair. It has recently come to my attention I need new pale yellow markers but I have not yet gotten around to doing this.

 'Til next time!

So Close...

Yay! So much yay! 

After a year of on and off (mostly off) work I have almost finished the Chapter by Chapter Summary. 

Well, I call it that but with each summary being more detailed than a "summary" and being on average about 1, 500 words (some less, some a lot more), I figure it's more of a first draft.

Anyway, today I finished the 3, 300 word summary for Chapter 19 and all that's left is the Epilogue summary. Yay!

After I write up that last chapter summary then I have to have it looked over for consistency, etcetera, but still it's more than a little gratifying to finally have something tangible to show for my hours and hours of effort. 

And I'm also very proud (and very scared) as this summary is, in total, almost as long as the longest chaptered story I've every written (which was about 30,000 words). So I estimate the finished product will be a minimum of 80, 000 words. Most likely though it will be closer to 100,000. Which for me, personally, is huge!

It's both exciting and daunting at the same time. Now I'll be able to focus more on the actual story.

 Edit: As of now I have completely finished the chapter by chapter summary/first draft. Yay!

Character Sprites Part 1

Hey all!

Ugh, I am exhausted. Been so busy these past few days. In fact I just got back from seeing the new movie The World's End. It was awesome and I seriously recommend it.

Anyway today I'm posting the basic sprites of the main character group in The Legend of Blood-Eye Blade RPG (jeez that's a mouthful). Of course there's a lot more than just these basic everyday sprites but I don't want to be posting every single costume and condition. It'd be just to much to give away in one sitting after all.

Bjarnn; the Nomad monk.

Kar'zhel; the Engiko shaman.

Gavin; the Human rogue.

Melaine; the Elf mage.

Drakken; the Human soldier.

And of course the series' namesake:

Blood-Eye Blade; the Elf assassin.

The images are blown up some of course, so you can actually see them. See how considerate I am?

RPG Face Sets Part 2

Ugh what a day! I hate early mornings. Any time before 8.30am should not exist. Like the world should just pop back into existence once we reach that time. 

Anyway... Yesterday I gave you music, today I will give you more pretty face sets for The Legend of Blood-Eye Blade RPG.

Now they're not exactly new, just the cloaked and disguised versions of the characters we introduced in Part 1 of this post but still. 

Bjarnn - Cloak

Kar'zhel - Cloak

Melaine - Cloak

Melaine - Nun Disguise

Now I bet you're wondering exactly why the nun disuise is needed aren't you? Well you'll see. You will see...

Fanfiction Soundtrack

Today's post (and while I'm writing a new post every day at the moment, don't expect it to last), is about music. Specifically the "soundtrack" of The Legend o Blood-Eye Blade fanfiction story.

I don't know how many of you are aware of this, but when I write long stories I like to have a sountrack that matches the feel of a chapter. I also like to include the lyrics to that song at the end of each chapter so other people may enjoy it too.

So, coming up are the twenty songs I've chosen for this piece of writing, in no particular order. 

This should be completely obvious but just in case I'll say it...I do not hold any rights to these songs or their lyrics. Same goes for when they appear in the story.

1. Johnny Blade - Black Sabbath

2. Lucifer's Angel - The Rasmus

3. Be My Escape - Relient K

4. Hero - Skillet

5. Silence - Vanilla Ninja

6. My Name (Wearing Me Out) - Shinedown

7. Amaryllis - Shinedown

8. The Coldest Night - Vanilla Ninja

9. In My Defense (Freddy Mervury Cover) - Avantasia

10. We All Fall Down - Darius Rucker

11. Battle Scars - Guy Sebastian

12. I'm Still Here - John Rzeznik

13. Any Means Necessary - Hammerfall

14. Take It Back - Miracle of Sound

15. Heart of Steel - Manowar

16. Sword & Shield - Sister Hazel

17. Dying For An Angel - Avantasia

18. Shine - Mr Big

19. It's My Life - Bon Jovi

20. Beautiful Disaster - Kelly Clarkson

Well that's it for now. Happy listening!
