Dreams of the Quill

Well, I do have something for you.

I was supposed to have this out Thursday, and then commence work on Chapter Twelve immediately, aiming for the scheduled release date. Well, that went down the drain, but here we have the finished product!

It’s a family tree (chart?) showing the lines of ancestry from Chaos to his/her/its grandchildren and all the way down to the three main characters of the Crystals of Mana. Each block links to the appropriate character’s page on the wiki, or, in the case of characters whose pages have not yet been made, to a page urging the viewer to create a page for the character.

Hunter Chronicles – Family Tree

I had the idea to do this after Alar showed confusion when I pointed out that Gem (Hunter) is Mana (II)’s cousin, not his brother. He wondered about Kieku calling them brothers- I explained that Kieku was not talking to Gem as the descendant of Gem al’Kondo but as Legend Reborn. Legend and Mana are brothers. :)

Yeah, I lied about having Chapter Twelve this weekend.

More specifically, Huckleberry Finn, a ton of homework, and a day event today screwed me over.

Apologies.

I basically just wrote the longest chapter I’ve ever written. Ever.

» Proceed to release notes…

We have a new version! At this rate, we’ll hit v1 in roughly 7 years.

First off, just brief mention of that concept sketch I drew of Takeshi Mai back in late June. No, I’m not bringing this up because work on Kashibana Joshikou has been recommenced or because Alar has gotten off his bum and done anything, but because with my retrieval of Photoshop I have colored this sketch. It came out better than I’d hoped for and now it sits here in the Colorings section.

More important (and more happy) is that some time yesterday, the first promo vid of Kyoushiro to Towa no Sora was released. I’m not a huge person of keeping up with manga, so I actually have no clue what this show will be about, but I know that I’ll be watching it. It’s from the makers of Kannazuki no Miko (something that… Kagihime… proved to not be assured victory) but it’s not just made by the same people- it looks very “Tsubasa”ish in that several characters from KnM are in it. In particular, Chikane.

Here’s the promo vid on Rapidshare.
