Very very gradually, I'm trying to actually get up the damn site. I made an enter page and even constructed a sort of eerie remix background music from the original Crystal Palace mp3. ( It can be viewed here: http://www.freewebs.com/torturedfruit/CPenter.htm )

As for the site content, I basically just really need to rethink the summary for the story and profiles. I'm not going to include any past drawings. A lot of things have changed and I want the site, even if it's not going to have the writing, to at least really introduce what it's about and give off the right impression.

I'm also going to try to figure out how to explain Akira's origin in a shorter less tiring way. My first thought was that I would draw out my dream in a graphic-novel sort of way, like one of the illustrations I did of Akira running away from me on my DA. I think that style really fits. I may possibly have the enter page lead to a page that either lets you go through the pages or skip the introduction if you have already seen it. But I'm not sure yet. I'm not sure if it's paramount for people to know the dream. It's just.. my gut tells me it is.

Anyway, none of the content can happen until I have a reputable layout, which I imagined would be dark of course, a few structural and small details I don't feel the need to mention publicly, and a banner which is a compilation of instances done a bit like movie stills. Until now, I haven't been in any artistic condition to figure out how to make into pixels these sort of... "grand" visions I have. But a friend sent me a site with amazing 3D models, in different positions as well as angles, even that you can drag, and they are all you could ask for in a reference.

So, yeah. I'm happy with the enter page, though. So far, so good. Creepy. :) Photobucket
