An update?
a year ago
Guess I should post an update.
So I've done another dump of new scans of older Chaos, and Gadget art. I still have a few more pieces I need to scan, and clean up for posting. But I need to stop being lazy.
The latest batch was brought about after attending Convergence 2024 for the 30th anniversary of Gargoyles. Yeah, hard to believe that came out 30 years ago. It makes me feel old; I was all of 16 in 1994. Got to meet some of the old fans I knew from the Gathering of The Gargoyles that I hadn't seen in 15+ years. Plus got to see newer fans as well. It was a fun, but bittersweet con.
Got a few pieces of art while there, and it also kicked my writing muse back into gear. I'm working on two different chapters at the moment. At the same time, it also made me realize things about my characters that I should have realized years ago. I'm going to revisit some of my old pieces, and go do some minor cleaning up. Some ideas will be tweaked slightly to fit their timeline/ relationship better, and the overall flow. Other bits will be dumped since they just don't fit the characters at all. A couple might get stripped down to the basic idea, and rebuilt from the ground up.
Speaking of art, there are a few commissions out there that will be part of the next small batch of art uploads. One of the things I'm hoping to do is more ideas after Chaos goes from being human to gargoyle. Such as him crashing while learning how to land. The instincts to glide in a more or less straight line is there. The practical experience needed to turn, much land is not there (a case of limitations of the spell behind his change). One of many things he has to learn to deal with... including heightened senses.
