Unbound Boxes Limping Gods: Disconnected Stories. Issue # 73: Toreth Rek-cho Part 3
Thanks for more good stories. Great images.
Thanks again for reading, Wally, I’m glad you’re enjoying this series.
I like how you insert the relationships and individual feelings of each character, Cheryl. It’s a nice way of getting to know the characters better. Great job, as always!
Thanks, Mark, I’m itching to write more about them. 😀 This writing style is much closer to how it is in the manuscript, (still with the editor.. and when it’s finished it’ll be sent to a billion publishers) so I’m glad it works! I’m all about character relationships 🙂 How is your art coming along btw? Have you completed any more. I’d love to see them.
Oh that is fantastic news Cheryl! I really hope that you get published! I want my name on the list for an autographed copy when they go on sale! PLEASE!?
I’m am just about to finish another Fantasy Art piece and should have it posted by the weekend. Another Frank Frazetta tribute.
Have a great day!
I’ll look forward to seeing the completed work! (Oh I dream of getting published ) got to get there first O, ) thanks Mark, that means a lot.
Cheryl..you can’t conclude this!!!! Not unless you swear to start another
😀 that’s another challenge, Shehanne, which I may take you up on! (Once I’ve had a rest for a few weeks) There are some disconnected stories (which kind of connect to others) lined up until April, but I’m planning another longer series for the future. Okay I swear I will!
Wow! As a concept, I have never seen someone doing such rigorous for their blog posts. Really admirable! I’m hooked!
Thank you so much! I’m glad you like it 😀
Love the amount of detail you put into each post!
Thank you 😀
You have an amazing talent! beautiful drawings – so detailed! Just brilliant!
Thank you, that means a lot to me. 🙂
Fascinating work. I suspect you’ve been asked this before, but what comes first to you, the images that become illustrations, or the scenes you write? Or can you separate the processes?
Hi Jeffrey, that’s a good question and I’ve only been asked that once before a long time ago. The writing always comes first, but I’ve always got images in my head as to the kind of mood and scene I’d like to draw, when a drawing’s appropriate. I like to leave some things to the reader’s imagination though, so definitely the writing is my main love.
It reminds me a bit of screenplay storyboarding, which is something I often wish I had the artistic chops to do. There are sequences where I’m happy to let the reader fill in things…and sequences where I want to (gently!) hold their gaze on a particular object, person, action.
It’s something one can do more easily in a graphic novel, I expect…but I’ve never been about easy. 🙂
Anyway, I have some catching up to do here. Thanks for swinging by my blog, by the way!
You’re welcome and thank you too!
What a completely awesome blog.. Do you do those drawings? They are spectacular..x
Thank you, I’m glad you like it! Yes the drawings are mine 🙂
They are beautiful. You are very talented.
You’ve made me feel happy, thank you 😀
Amazing in detail and content! I feel like a microorganism to your Mozart. You will get published, I have no doubt. Thanks for following me at the Kraken’s Wake.
Hi Len, I don’t get to speak with other writer/illustrators often, good luck with publishing Delphia, I’m enjoying reading your stories and character profiles, you are no microorganism and I’m certainly not the other word beginning with ‘m’, but thank you, *blushes* that means a lot. Good to meet you, Cheryl 🙂
Thank you, Cheryl. Glad you enjoyed the stories. It’s means a lot coming from a talent like yourself.
*Blushes* I’m no Anesidor Sumian! (I’m surrounded by cats, they spend most of the time using me as a human butler service)
This is such an enormous project Cheryl, I’m curious: did you write the story then illustrate it? Or did you do both at once (sounds impossible!)?
Hi Birdie, I wrote the story first and then illustrated it. My brain can’t cope with building a story around an illustration for some reason.
What an amazing tapestry of characters and stories you are creating! I have only checked out a few random posts so far, and I can already feel myself being drawn into the world. Congrats! I look forward to delving deeper.
And by the way, thank you so much for following my blog! Your talent is inspiring me to step up my game.
Good to meet you, Dan, thank you so much, I appreciate you taking time to visit, and you’re very welcome, glad you like it. I’ve followed you on twitter 🙂 Cheryl
Brilliant! What a great way to delay the decision – by adding more depth. I’m beginning to really love your characters, Cheryl. This is such a great scene. And beautifully drawn – the range and depth of emotions is thrilling.
Thank you Richard, I’m glad I’ve done them justice. There’s so much I can’t write about here on this blog, in fear of spoiling what’s in the books, but I just couldn’t resist sharing this story.
To say I’m looking forward to reading the books is an understatement 🙂
😀
Wanted to say hello and thank you for becoming a follower and I too will look forward to your books. Writing is a wonderful gift.
Hi Susannah, good to meet you too, I’m enjoying reading The Camille Chronicles, and thank you for stopping by, I appreciate it! Cheryl
Camille is very popular. She turns up now and then. You might like the Notes From The Carlye series. She makes a cameo in February. Your writing is very impressive. Let’s hear it for being prolific, something that’s not celebrated often enough. Thanks Chery.
Hi Susannah, please let me know when you’ve posted her cameo and I’ll read it. Thanks again, Cheryl
There is a piece today, Friday. Thanks.
The drawings blend so well with the words. Engrossing work.
Thanks Lee 🙂
So incredible! Your fiction & artwork just go hand in hand! 🙂 http://sophiebowns.wordpress.com/2013/02/22/planchette-part-55/

Your genius continues to grow…flourish…no publisher could possibly resist…
Hi John, thank you! The manuscript’s with an editor at the moment, and I should be ready to start submitting in June/July, so wish me luck. It helps a lot to have so much support. I appreciate it. Cheryl

Wow….this is amazing. So original and detailed, like a complex tapestry. I’m hooked, but it’s all over….how did that happen! What a great double talent, to write and draw…..I’m in awe 🙂
