"(CTCS) A Scene from West Street"
|
As part of a planned holiday test activity, I'll be posting a few fragments of the source lineart for what will be one of the illustrations in Challenging the Cold Silence over the next few days, with the complete picture coming out on Christmas Eve. It depicts a scene described (but not directly shown) in Chapter 4 of the book (which has previously appeared as a promotional excerpt), taking place in Asami's office at Project Phoenix Flight's Republic City offices on West Street in the early development phase of the project. Some of you will have seen this already, since the artist (Denise Jones) featured it on her deviantArt page. If you haven't, well, I suppose you can go find it there now if you don't want to wait, but that will make Korra sad, and hasn't she been through enough? Here's piece 1! Get some rest, sweetheart. You've bloody well earned it. Tune in tomorrow for piece 2. --G. -><- Benjamin D.

That'd actually be a fairly good way for Korra to keep everything in order; take all the glue off her Post-It notes and force her to use airbending to keep them in place properly. It'd be a really useful filing system and a way of memorising what's on particular documents; if you have to be constantly aware of several dozen bits of paper floating around you, you're probably going to end up knowing the contents of them. she has superpowers and i am turning them into a filing system fuck me ragged i am such a fucking dork --- "She's old, she's lame, she's barren too, // "She's not worth feed or hay, // "But I'll give her this," - he blew smoke at me - // "She was something in her day." -- Garnet Rogers, Small Victory FiMFiction.net: we might accept blatant porn involving the cast of My Little Pony but as God is my witness we have standards. |

LAST EDITED ON Dec-25-14 AT 12:24 PM (EST) This was one of the earliest images thought of for CTCS, as it sprang from the setup for one of the first scenes written (the one in Asami's office wherein she expects Korra to be asleep and then discovers that she's not). In order to get the staging worked out, I actually made a mockup of the office using one of the downtown apartments in The Sims 3 Late Night.Opinions vary in the EPU studio as to exactly what Asami is thinking in the final illustration, but we've concluded it's probably some proportional combination of the following: - "I suppose I ought to wake her up and send her off to a proper bed. It's obvious dinner isn't happening tonight after all." - "... awwwwwww." - "... huh? Lost my train of thought." and - "Look at that. Boots on the sofa AGAIN. Tch, Water Tribe savage..." (As an aside, I had a tricky time getting the example screenshot taken when the time came. I actually had to disable spontaneous character actions and just use the Korra and Asami Sims as puppets, because if I left them to their own devices - I promise you I am not making this up - not only wouldn't they stay in their assigned places, they couldn't keep their hands off each other. They'd be off to the races almost immediately, and before I could finish hunting for the right camera angle, odds were they'd have left the apartment altogether to go have a quick one in the elevator. That was funny at the time, 14-15 months ago, but it's even funnier now.) --G. -><- Benjamin D.

So, funny story. Not long after completing the lineart for this piece, Denise emailed me to say that someone on her dA page was begging to see a colored version, and did I perchance have one for her to share? The thing is, Phil has a coloring queue a mile and a half high and Scene from West Street was nowhere near arriving at the top yet, and, well, one thing to another, she ended up doing it herself.

LAST EDITED ON Jan-30-15 AT 11:21 PM (EST) Denise does do good work, doesn't she :)(she thinks I'm nuts because I like the way she draws hands) Guys and gals, I am not kidding when I tell you to get a commission from Denise whenever you get a chance. I *think* she is still taking them thru her DA page; she doesn't always. If you're a gamer, pick up the book for Tianxia (Vigilance Press) - she did pretty much all the art in that one too Jeanne

A while back, Phil asked me if I had the original hi-res source files for this pic and Bridging the Worlds. He was going to a con that Janet Varney, Korra's voice actor, would be at, and he said he wanted to print out high-quality copies to give to her if they happened to cross paths. I said that would be cool, dug around on my hard drive, hooked him up, and thought no more about it. This was in the mail earlier this week.
Hee hee! Thanks, Phil! --G. -><- Benjamin D. Hutchins, Co-Founder, Editor-in-Chief, & Forum Mod Eyrie Productions, Unlimited http://www.eyrie-productions.com/ zgryphon at that email service Google has Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam. |
