Windchaser

Just a quick and dirty little mockup in Paint, to see if it looks how I want before I commit to recreating it in real life. (I'm going to stitch it, I think.) It's only the background of a larger picture, although I quite like the look of it anyway and might end up using it "as is" as well. (The little white dots are just where the "holes" were on my template. They won't be on the finished thing.)

In other news, I have been inspired by the project muffins_of_god is participating in, and wondered if writing some shorter things might kick my writing brain back into gear.

This "mandala" was going to be part of some art associated with one of the stories. It's quite an old idea, although I don't know if I ever posted anything about it publically (I think I came up with it back in Uni, which was before I had an LJ) - a kidnapped kiravai child (who grows up to become one of my old semi-regular characters) is helped to safety by a creature from their mythology.

Edit: For goodness sake, LJ. Why is it SO HARD to post pictures (in a way that is not distorted or too small to see) from the scrapbook now? The old scrapbook was so much more user friendly. >:(

New project: ( researching myocarditis for #14, ''Darkling'' )

...I think I need to get some at-least-half-assed character profiles done. :P Particularly if I'm wanting to update my site and get it into some semblance of order. I mean, Iios isn't really acting much like himself - probably purely because most of what I'm writing involves him and Eri, and the way he acts towards ERI doesn't really reflect his opinion of EVERYONE ELSE. Rurr. :P

Gotta go mop the kitchen now. Grah.

Edit: These are some old notes I decided to move into "public", as I highly doubt anything will come of them now - they're not the sort of thing that's easily "recycled". But anyway. They WERE on my private board on my forum, but now they're in the "public" area (although you still need a (free) user name to read them.)
Psychiatry
Kiravai "vampires"? And nanobots. Yay microcellular machines.
"Lii" is another of my exiled Kiravai - he's going to show up in one of my later stories, provided I ever get there, and eventually pairs up with Azure. At this point in time, he was affiliated with Asri, a friend's character, which might be why it doesn't make a lot of sense.
