Sounds good. I'm planning on developing the characters as kinda stylised, cartooney but angled more toward realistic proportions  and I want to throw a bit of time into developing a workflow that's consistent, fast and looks the bollocks.

Was working on the Power armour some more this morning. Tightening up the "engineering" side so it's something that would realistically fit on a human. This is important to me for two reasons. Firstly, I'm a pedantic wanker and even if I could hide the fact that no one could ever wear this stuff, I'd fucking know and fuck that for a laugh. The second reason is logistics. I'm imagining a lot of shots of bodies lying in wreckage with some ripped off, characters getting suited up and whatnot. These shots will be a choice of a couple of hours pissing about or a couple of seconds if all I have to do is cut a crack in the visor and the face is already in place behind it.

So I shot some video which shows the process in case anyone is interested. I now have the suit blocked out and can chuck a ton of hours at detailing it up all cool as fuck.

This is my first serious attempt at modelling something like this so I've been flying far outside my comfort zone. Pretty stoked with progress so far.

Looks great.  Bear in mind that in many frames, the person will have their helmet off.  I like the head you've drawn there, just make sure the armor appearance accounts for someone "speaking to the camera" without their brain bucket on.

Anytime, man. I'll just keep plugging away on content. No rush. We all got other shit to attend to. I'ma have a full read through and see if anything jumps out at me. Plus the armour is coming together but it aint gonny do that on it's own. As soon as you have a first frame in your head call it out and I can fire a concept your way within an hour or two. Anything that looks interesting I can develop and we can dump anything that doesny work.

Might be an idea to come up with a cast list. I can work my way through it.

I think I can have something in the next 2-3 days.  I'm going to go in order at least at first, which should give you an idea of the characters needed.

(Richter's paean will be done in the margins, because it's too good not to use, but would drag in a scene of its own.)

Jerry Pournelle died yesterday.   

Just give me a date by which you want the first story board.

I like it. 

For what it's worth, it was never different.  Not in the last 50 years, anyway.

Why is the question in a statement rectangle? 

I'm down with storyboarding it.

*Bump* Because...

Excellent.

strap cats to myself and hop in the shower.

On the other hand, the pics of her stealing it are among the funniest things ever posted in this sorry excuse for a death cult.

Hey, as death cults go, at least we're still more interesting than The Hand is in the Netflix Marvel series.

I'll take your word for that.  Even though this fucking death cult can't even be arsed to spike the Koolaid.

Better than the handlebar, I'll tell you that.

LMNOW is undoubtably a wonderful woman in every way that matters.

Except in this.  Handlebar mustaches are GLORIOUS.

I have a full beard now.  Guess I'll have to submit my new look to the WOMP Cabal.

How is LMNOW taking this?

We already get a lot of bots.  However someone deletes most of them at the signup stage.

I'd help, but I don't have permission to delete unapproved accounts.

This guy is a real peach.

Yes, I'm sure everyone else here is a shining example of maturity, social acceptance, and emotional stability. Discordianism is a neighborhood of glass houses.

Keep fuckin' that chicken, dude.

Hey, at least I'm putting my dick into something instead of just waving it around in front of everyone.

I gotta ask, because I've always wondered about this when someone kicks the door in trying to play stupid dominance games, "How the fuck are you getting gratification from this?"

Attention, mostly. You guys are constantly desperate for someone to be riled up about.

Okay.

TGRR,
has seen enough.
