Details.... I guess, that's what makes or breaks some.... uh, stuff??

I've been kinda tidying up loose ends, again. Ummm.... well, I guess it makes sense, since it's like spring cleaning, in some way.... uhhahha.... I think, overall, the side-stories have been receiving some useful extra details.

- I finally managed to finish off a handful of battle samples that have been stuck at the break-down stage for.... um, has it really been a year? Oops....
- I'm not entirely sure what I was thinking at the time.... but I now have a page of portrait sketches for most of the major STK cast.
- Created a page for all the cover thumb-nails I have so far, just to keep a better record of that area.
- Finalised a few more chapter titles for the STK set. There's also an idea for a Kiva cross-over, which I'll most likely start working on after at least ten years time.
- Made a few more last-minute tweaks to the Vulcan. I hope I'm not slowly becoming more and more like Goji....
- Put in a few development touches to the Velos/Kikouchi plot, especially the ending: "Souka..." *BOOM!!*
- Added one more character to the list of S.I.C.-styled designs, the always well-adjusted and gentle Satsui. Ohh yeah.... I forgot to mention in my last update, about S.I.C. Ray. ....Umm, I think I made Kazuki angry again....
- On the subject of people who are clearly in their right mind, there's going to be a cross-referencing between two side-stories of "strict discipline" during childhood. I really don't know who's the bigger lunatic, Ryo or Eri....

Discount shopping sprees and gossiping grannies? AbsoW00tely!!

Um, I guess the title for this report, might look a bit.... odd?

Well, it's because I've kinda been doing some clean-up of the story and dialogue notes I have scattered around, both text files and old fashioned scribblings on scraps of paper. It's actually taking a bit longer to write them up properly than I thought it would....

I've also started putting some of the details onto the STK site. I'm thinking, of cropping out portraits from my older images for the GDR cast, I think that should look ok.

Although Mk.01 is finished, I don't want to leave too big a gap before Mk.02. So.... I guess, it's a good idea to start work on later parts first and release them in batches?

Oh yeah.... one last thing to remind myself of: I need to focus more on STK's current progress. I've been spending more time than I should playing around with those SIC sketches in photoshop.

It's a bit of a weird update this time. I guess, things have just been a bit strangely, lately.
