Zophia poked me to make a thread. I know this will die off quickly, but I guess I could just show off some work in progress, and what I have managed to do by combining MsPaint and GIMP.

The first one is the outline. It is done in MsPaint, since GIMP was acting up.

The next two is the coloured result, both coloured in GIMP (It was acting okay again)
The difference is the outline. The upper one is with the original outline:

With this one I copied the outline and blured it. So the original outline is on top, the next layer is blured, and then the colour come:

The last one here is what I will think of as the conclusion. A gradient layer from GIMP, smudged out and adjusted, again with the smudge tool. The lazy solution, I know.

Work in progress, right? I do not know if I am going to make it any better.

Sure. If I ever make a book out of the MWT or whatnot, then I'd totally have pages of guest art. What could be better than art from the creator of the concept itself!?

Would be rather nice to collect it all, and make it a real story, but I am not sure how easy that would be with so many main characters (though I tend to see it somewhat as Kai's story). If I ever get myself to it, you will be the first to know.
Would probably not end up popular, though.

That's precisely my main concern with &quotublishing" this. Every character has their own perspective and story, so I'm purely drawing this from Strop's perspective because that's the perspective I know, so is tied in with Story of Strop. Kai's story is rather different and more involved but to write it from Kai's perspective would be to ignore the main action of the whole thing as you're the GM playing Kai...and then what of the other characters!

No matter which way I look at it, I can't see a way to actually make a cogent unified story without writing like 8 different stories.

But it would be totally cool to make a flash series out of it. That would definitely work, though it'd also be like 99x harder. And require voice acting...at least I have Flash now.

Hmm, I have read books with three+ main characters. It is possible, but would need a lot of work.

If we made it a collaborative effort and released separate versions of the same story or intertwined the two, the result could be quite compelling.

That could be really cool! Besides, there is a possiblity of getting some of the others' stories intertwined too. The Lady has this crystal ball, remember? But, yeah... *fantasizes*

It could be fun, but really hard work. Collabs are hard work in the first place, stories with more than one main character is worse, and when that combine... Yeah.

As for the story, perhaps haveing kais story starting first, and then pluging in other charecters as you go?

Let me explain my self. So Kai's story goes firts, while mentioning all of the other charecters. Then from there you tell the storys of the diffrent charecters one by one.

And cen neve rsay it may not be. It was made from a site, and people may find that interestig. It was made by people from acroos the globe, and putting it all into one kick (sorry strop) a ss book might be something supper terrific. And once you through in self made art and things...

Though pubblishing might cost a good bit of money....

It is possible to publish it in a small numbe, only enough to make sure the people wanting the books will get it.

I could try, but for now it is Strop's story, and I am just annoying him by colouring his sketches:P

I like one in suit the best. Stance is all mystical and stuff. Lol.

Seriously though, that sword that is blue is siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick. Dude. If you get those perfected, that would be epic win. Serious. Epic. Win.

I need to get into computer drawing... Or get back into hand drawing. I don't know what I'd draw though....

*plods off to idea-storm*

Oh, I inspire people now? WHAT IS WRONG WITH MEEE...

Hmm, not sure if I will do anything about this, I am just trying to get some kind of idea of what I should let him wear (Because it get pretty boring to draw the same pair of trousers and the same shirt in the same grey colour all the time), especially as I need some experiance with drawing different types of clothes.

Truth is, he hates suits with all his might... Fancy dress time, no thanks > >...

He looks kind if...realistic?

I like it. *stops, realizes what I just said, head desk*

The eyebrow looks a little thick, and it kind of goes over the hair... Akwardish... How'd I do?
