Comment on Morthor is done, Alice is under construction by Fogmann

Got to love when nobody leaves comments on my site :( Well, here, I’ll leave a comment. Mainly, I just want to add that Alice is now complete, geometry-wise. The UVs are mapped, and I’m about to start building the high-resolution geometry that will be used for normal map. I’ll post another entry when I get some snapshots, so stay tuned, it’s coming!

Comment on Scene with point of no return by Fogmann

Well, just to add some more thoughts on this topic. This scene feels right to me, because our character really got upset with state of affairs in publishing business. However, refusing still to take advantage of Duende, he chooses to sell his soul. And why is that? I originally imagined the character being more or less like Goethe’s enlightenment era hero, who possesses all kinds of knowledge, but longs for something beyond the things he can learn. Similarly, our character accepts deal with the devil, because he is seeking for some extraordinary experience that he can use in his writing. Essentially, he sees this deal with the dark forces as the only way for him in his old age to gain this experience that will help him write truly good fiction, not necessarily children’s books. My guess would be that this way we can use more weirdness and unpredictable little twists, while still maintaining more or less conventional plot development with beginning, middle and end, which will, because of all the weirdness going on, not be as dramatic as originally conceived. I’ll do a new post with the most recent thoughts on the subject. I shall not abandon this thing, hell no! :-]

Oh, I forgot to mention this, but I just watched an episode of X-Files (ah you see how summer can get boring at some point), and it is called “The Musing of Cigarette Smoking Man” - dunno if you ever watched “Exu Firu” ^_^ but don’t really matter. So this Cigarette Smoiking Man is the man from the shadow knows all the secrets and is behing all big conspiracies, and he writes a story about what actually happen, but is so unbelievable that everyone would think it’s a fiction - it’s about killing of an alien that was rescued from the space craft… And so the publisher calls him and tells him that his work will be published in the next issue of the magazine. This excites him so much that he is ready to resign and leave all his previous work and just write for the rest of his life, and he is of course really happy at this point. He gets the magazine and sees that his story is indeed there, but as he reads through he realizes that the ending has been changed. This completely crushes him and he sits down on a bench and sees a homeless guy finding a chocolate box in the trash… and he then has a little soliloquy, in which he compares life with a box of chocolate…

So, anyways, this just reminded me of our character and thought it was inspiring in a way.

Oh wow, that’s great idea: an author gets published because he used Duende! And our character will have to figure it out somehow on his own, because that fact probably won’t be in the news. Anyhow, that’s still a brilliant idea. He hates Duende and believes that such device can’t aid anyone’s creativity and thus should not be used in creative work, aside from being for him almost unacceptable for what its primary use is.

I was thinking a lot as well, and while I was filling out character sheet, I got some of questions that still need answers. For example, we need a good reason for him to be interested in writing children’s prose. Did he have a child who has passed away? Or maybe he wants to somehow get back to his own childhood. I wrote down that his childhood was fairly easy for him and that he has a lot of good memories. I also think it would be good to have an idea of what his writing is about, and to have some controversial issue that might make some conservative parties find in his work something between the lines which they think corrupts the youth. Maybe they see in it a hidden message or something that alludes to sex. And maybe not even our character knows that thing is there and that it could be understood that way. Oh, even better, maybe they used Duende to detect that “corruptive” aspect of his writing, and Duende translated it all wrong!

OK, let me post the synopsis - I didn’t try to make it all neat, because we’ll be surely rewriting it and adding and substracting stuff as we go. But at least we got the basis, which is big step forward, methinks.
