I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. You didn't think you'd open the page and read it here did you? My friends at DarkMedia.com have posted Genesis' prologue and it's nice to spread the love. So here it is http://www.darkmediaonline.com/genesis-novel-excerpt/ Thanks again DarkMedia.

Just when you thought it couldn't be so long and involved, here's another rundown for the cover. Angela to me: "So now we've gone one step further using the sketches we've made so far. Other things to take note of: The rays of light within the Vulcan around Jak's head are to be needles and diodes and not rays of light at all. Also, on the back cover you might notice rough patches of white floating about. These are meant to be embers from a flame 'off camera' that are floating into the foreground. The distortion of rays radiating from around the Vulcan are meant to have that 'bleeding' effect, which moves into the back cover over Duward some. Sadly, I don't think there's anything we can do about the Vhendo being covered by text on the back aside from having a very short back blurb OR doing an extreme close up of his face and not showing any supporting characters at all. ****This issue has already been fixed**** Otherwise, ...

Wow! That's all I can say about this sketch. Angela to me: "Alright then! Time to see how our luck is doing! (We only had to re-concept one character and that's the evil nasty Duward and Lady Sedi will be facing off against...which, well, I'm going to keep to my self for now. Sorry.)   Here are some preliminary sketches of Jak.  I went with a long-sleeved woven shirt and cloth pants with the only ornate design being his sword/scabbard.  This is without his jacket, since it won't be included in the cover...." ****To learn what the image on the sheath is, you have to read Genesis **** So what do you think. Is he too pretty?  I tried my damnedest to scruff him up with scratches and dirt. (We had a long and successful conversation about characters being too good looking. Too fit. Lets just say Jak doesn't have washboard abs. His muscles are from natural, job-specific labors—which he'd only do till the job was done. He doesn...

Another Art update. It's late. I know. I'm sorry. Angela to me: "Here's another round of rough concept sketches for you!  This time tackling Lady Sedi's basic look. I went with a sort of shawl-style cloak that would still show off the rest of her outfit, which is a dress over trousers.  It's rather simple, since it seemed to me she'd favor a practical look." Now this one is short and sweet given the experience Angela has with drawing women. She nailed it. To see what I'm talking about http://www.angelicshades.com/
