M.A.R.D.L. feedback scientist Gabriel has been working with an artist to bring his characters to life, and now the artist (Johan Manandin) has turned his skills toward a depiction of my character, Clifton Storm:

Kind of an anime-flavored influence here. This guy is extremely good. Check out more of his work in these posts on Gabriel’s blog:

Red Phantom rpg art?

NEW SKETCHES!!!

Also, for anyone interested (and I hope SOMEBODY is), I’m still working on the book. I have the last 5 chapters to write now… essentially, the good part of the story. Then there’s the touching up, tweaking, etc. Then the art… still not sure what I’m going to do for the spot illustrations and cover. I don’t think my skills aren’t strong enough to do it on my own… we’ll see. I have a few ideas.

For now, I just want to get this current adventure done. From there, I don’t know what’s next. The first Cipher novel? Maybe. A new Challenger Storm adventure? Could be; it looks more and more appealing for me to stick with Storm and Co. for a while longer. I’m taking this in baby steps.
