Dreams of the Quill

Well, I’m here at home on a school day with a pretty bad cold (but not much of a horrible sickness), having slept for fourteen hours and not recovered. No longer sleepy, I’m occupying myself by putting content up.

Over the last two weeks or so, I’ve done several drawings of Mana II, son of Lanto. I guess this is part of the process of “rebuilding” his character- solidifying, reconstructing, cementing, whatever have you. I’m not quite there yet. But at least the art’s getting better. Here are two of the aforementioned sketches that turned out the best.

Mana II – Fire Blade
Mana II – Eyes

Next order of business, I recently signed up for James’s new RPG, Second Exodus. It’s being held on the war3forums, so not everyone here will have an account there, but I think I can still advise my readers to sign up. A lot of you came over from those forums, anyway. My character, a down-on-his-luck writer named Harry Locke, is up in the RPG Character Archive.

Also today I have redone the RPG Character Archive. It no longer uses an ugly pile of links and an iframe, but rather a simple PHP program and a pretty CSS-ified list of names. With pop-up RPG titles!

Finally, I… finally… got around to completing version 0.1.6 of my single-player RPG, Verga Dissonance.

Also, the other features page has been updated.

Apparently since the return to green (or even before that? From when I killed the layout and returned to blue?) comments haven’t been working on Pages. Like, you couldn’t leave comments directly on the HC Chapters. Now that’s all fixed and all.

Comment away!

Alright guys.

» Proceed to release notes…

The site is once more green! The colors and feel of January 2006, and, well, just about every month since then up until late August this year when I killed my layout. I hope those who disliked the past layout (Surreal) are happy with the change back to green.

A brief history of DotQ:

White on blue proboards install -> orange, gray, and white Bravehost site -> Wordpress default HostMatrix site -> blue, white, and black Hostmatrix site (v1, ’service da’) -> green and white HostMatrix site (v2, ‘Last Breath’) -> green and white HostMatrix site (v3, ‘Not Dead Yet’) -> pink and white April Fool’s site -> green and white godaddy site (v4, ‘puppet’) -> blue, white, and black godaddy site (v1r, ’service da’) -> green and white godaddy site (v2r, ‘Last Breath’)

I don’t think that we’re going to complete the circle. Unless I decide to be lame, expect something completely DIFFERENT on January 1st, 2007.
