Ummm.... that's quite a bit, for one week....

I managed to come up with a lot of stuff just before Christmas.... I'm not sure why, maybe it's something I'll look back on, one day, and it might make more sense, ....kinda?

Well, it's a bit skewed, really. I had quite a few ideas one week and was running a bit thin the week after. I guess, I could break it down to give an overview of each week's progress.

This what I came up with from the 15th to the 21st:
  • [FLR] Another Shi-quote I completely forgot about, sorry it's a bit late....
"How.... do I.... stop speed????"
  • [FLR] Putting contacts in wrong. Despite all of her stupidities, at least she's honest.
"Well, I guess I am a bit short-sighted...."
  • [KIVA/FLR] Ok, I haven't thought this through yet, but I need to put this line in, somehow....
"Stop that, it's disgusting"
  • [FLR] An Important Company Espionage Tip: Always listen to Eri's advice.
  • [Misc/STK] "Secret admirer's day"? Ummm, I really need to stop coming up with these random un-stories....
  • [FLR] "There.... I'm not always as dumb as I look!!!!" Miko proudly proclaims, as she triumphantly leans against a door.... "Uhhh-haaa????"
  • [STK] I think, these bad puns are getting out of hand: "I'll be quick."
  • [FLR] More Fun, Free-for-all, Factory Frolicking.
  1. The Ritsuki method of heavy-duty, metal-bashing.
  2. No comment. "Oh-hey! Looks like somone wants to get frisky with some big honkin' machinery!!"
  • [FLR] You're not old, just early. "..."
  • [FLR] "Lots of catching up to do...." Don't worry, Su-chan.... I know it's an aerosol can, but it's not what it looks like.... ....honest?

By contrast, the 22nd to 28th period was kinda slow....
  • [FLR/SR3?] Su-chan.... did a funny????
"I would never go that far to hide what I'm doing."
"Oh please, you even considered duct taping the indicators on your car."
"Well, that does, sound kinda like something you'd do...."
  • [FLR] "Ahhh! Ahhh! Citrus Attack!!!!"
  • [FLR] Managed to decrease my backlog of ideas sketches, slightly....

Ummm.... oh yeah, I also made this quick sketch for a piece of Decade art, that I hope to finish, someday....

Shi-chan, no offense, but your Christmas present sucks.

(I know, I didn't place or proportion Swift very well. I guess, I didn't really care, because she kinda sucks....)

It's the final coun-- wait... is it????

Ok.... this update looks kinda short. Well, most of the time was spent putting in details for a big chunk of the later section of STK and it basically, covers everything from the later half of Part III, to most of Part IV. No major changes were really made, I re-did some of the fight scenes; added a few more explanations for why certain stuff happened; and put a couple of extra hints to foreshadow future events, since, I have kinda already finished them too....
  • [STK] Worked through a handful of scenes for the fourties region in more detail, with some dialogue added.
  • [STK] You don't have your mother's eyes, but you look just like her... What!?
  • [FLR] Edge Vs Streak!! This time, it's for real! Well, kinda...
  • [SPIN/CHI] I'm sure I mentioned that Gyo has a "counter-part" unlike my other projects. Well, I also have a cross-over in mind, for these two....
  • [***/CHI] "On the other hand, I have no idea HOW this could have happened!"
  • [STK] I'm thinking about making another pre-release image, with a semi-reveal....

Right, well.... I guess that's it, this time. I've kinda compacted most of what I've been working on as "late-to-tail-end STK ", because I really don't want to give everything away. I have some other ideas in mind as well, which I'll start working on for next time. As well as portioning time away to play on Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon. I play other games too, but always kinda forget to mention them, or it's too irrelevant to what I'm doing on this blog....

A Start.... no Middle.... and an End.... Did I, do something wrong????

I think, I might be giving too much away, by saying this....

Well, the news/rumours about Kamen Rider Decade got me thinking about something I had been planning, and in the end, I got round to sketching out a "reveal" scene, of sorts. I think my mind must have just drifted around from there, but I ended up sorting out some of the ideas I had in mind for the ending to Project Blaze.

Afterwards, I kinda noticed a pattern.... I seem to have set out the beginning and end for all my projects so far, including STK, Chain, Tamashii, Blaze and SPIN(I don't even know what I'm doing with SR3, at the moment). I guess, it might be a good thing, that I know where I'm heading.... but it also feels like, that now, I just need to put enough filler in to pad it out?

  • [FLR] Never get into a mushroom-related argument with Shimi....
  • [STK/Misc] Made a few sketches for a poll I'm thinking of puting up.
  • [STK] Played around with the portraits for some the charcters, with.... interesting results....
  • [Misc] Visualised a few details in the Satsu story.
  • [SR3] Finished up the storyboard for a BIG SWORD scene.
  • [STK/FLR] Sketched a few ideas for avatar images.
  • [SPIN] Drew up some initial idea sketches for the Tech Rider. I don't quite know why, but I made him a card user as well. At least, it sorta makes sense....
  • [STK] A slight re-do of the scene introducing Double form.
  • [STK] Made a story-board for the epilogue part 1 ending that I had in mind, and how I should present it....
  • [FLR] Planned and drawn out ideas for how most of the ending story happens. Goji sucks.
  • [Misc] Su-chan addresses the problems of long-running sequels. Goji's doesn't care because he gets a new bike.
  • [FLR] A bit of based-on-real-life, back-story for Shi-chan.
"Maybe, I ran out of worry-juice????"
  • [SHF] Worked out a more detailed plot of the opening story. This is something I really should have done a long time before now....

There's one other thing I need to mention, it's definitely Rider-related, so it's important:

I'm not quite sure what happened, but I managed to snap-off S.I.C. X-Rider's right leg, when I tried to move it.... either I ended up with a duff figure, I did something stupid again or maybe.... both. Well, I guess it's not too bad, I can easily get a second one from HLJ for half-price. They're only 3000 yen right now, so I'd better hurry.... (Minor edit: Stupid credit crunch, the exchange rates are kinda working against me.)
