Chapter 10 weekly status report (3)
A quick update:
This past week hasn't been the most productive. I took a quick trip to Paris to attend the Tool concert, which was really nice, but that kept me away from the computer. I used this time to keep elaborating on Chapter's 10 plot, mapping out in further detail some scenes and character interactions (how to structure the action and choices, and which themes should be present in dialogues and such). I want to start writing next week, and switch between that and drawing.
I've completed a few more illustrations and the colorist is working on them. I'm pretty happy with how they're turning out, which is consistent with the drawings I've been producing lately. This time I've tackled some of the most visually complex images to date, and you'll see why in due time! Lately I've been taking too much time deciding on which base images to use for the drawings, and that's something I need to speed up, but I'm really trying to use the perfect reference picture for what I have in mind.
Other than that, just a reminder that this next week will be the last one to submit your entries for the 5th anniversary fan-art contest. The winner gets a cameo in ORS, and I will also be opening the tier for some additional cameos soon, so if you're interested in that let me know through PM. I will make a specific post about that soon.
It's back to work now!

I hope you had a wonderful time at the concert. Tool is a perfect band for Ian since he likes prog metal.
Just out of curiosity, how long is the series gonna be?
If I remember correctly, we are about half the way inside the Story, chapter 9 or 10 might be the climax (if following the classic structure of a drama).
"elaborating on Chapter's 10 plot" sounds so easy, but I am glad not to have to deal with it :D . An advance for one or two paths sometimes seems to be a no-brainer, but advancing all paths together in a coherent, yet economic way (not too many split-ups) seems really hard and mind twisting. Second and even more important: There would be nothing to discover or to be surprised of in my own creations - even if(!) I could write as good as Eva. Tool concert - hope you brought Emma, Ian and Perry with you - I heard they also appreciate good music!
Glad to hear you're taking some time to enjoy life outside of your studio, Eva! Very important in keeping yourself healthy and motivated! Looking forward to the next chapter and contest! Cheers.
