Glump




I don't feel like doing ANYTHING today, 'either vicious or virtuous,' and that includes creative. Luckily I had done this paltry handful of animations last night. Also, I am plagued with the vague feeling I'm forgetting some birthday or anniversary. Checked my notes, but they are hopelessly out of date.
Anyway, the younger Belmok and Thron, and the older Melniar.

Getting a Move On







I tend to want to animate quieter but more personally revealing moments. I had to explain to the AI that the skeleton was not alive and couldn't react. And it kept wanting to make Raksil more feminine; of course, it is neither male or female. Though there are a lot of 'feminime' markers there.

Searching for the Lost Library


Korm and Gho from Korm and the Lost Library (see elsewhere on this blog).

Museum Piece


Master Belmok and Korm examine an Ogre skeleton. A scene from the short story Korm's Master, published here on NOT.
 

More Ortha Efforts









From Eye of Darkness: the younger Belmok, the younger Thron, Leren the Ivra, and the Quest of the Eye of Darkness; Raksil, the evil incarnate Yorn (that is to say, he is evil and incarnate, but he's not Evil Incarnate). From not only his own short story but from Goldfire: Thron plays a game with Korm. And from the unfinished story Thrand, the older Melniar and Melniar attending Thrand.

Inconceivable Dimensions Not Shown



The Domain of Doors and the Fountain of Forever. See the short story published here, Shutting the Door, for the best explanation. 

How They Met





When he was sixteen, Taryn was a Mad Lad on the streets of Morg City. After he stole Sergeant Roth's supper one day, the Morg swore he would track him down and catch him. He finally cornered him in one of the City's dangerous sewers, and after they escaped, Roth convinced Taryn to join the army. Thus began the illustrious career that would lead him to becoming King Taryn, the first Human ruler of Morg City and overlord of Forlan. Roth looks particularly grim and his beard a little short.
