No, I'm not dead. · 5:27am Sep 15th, 2017
Fate threw me for a loop this past August. First, my condo's air conditioner broke down and had to be replaced, then so did my Windows desktop of 12 years. I'm currently working from my new MacBook Pro, which I got so I can keep using my Adobe Photoshop CS5. Unfortunately, the Lexmark all-in-one I've been using as my scanner is incompatible with Mac OS Sierra. With all the expenses I've incurred, it'll be a while before I get me a new scanner.
Thus, I'm unable to scan my latest drawings for the time being, so I've shifted gears back to writing. To answer the question that is no doubt on everybody's mind...yes, I am working on new Equestria Girls belly dance story - this one focusing on Principal Celestia.
Even as I was writing Parting the Veil, I'd also considered bringing one of the Sirens in on the fun - specifically Aria, since she seems the least likely to take up such a pursuit. I personally see her taking up the "Tribal Fusion Style" practiced by Rachel Brice (look up the dancer's name and you'll see what I mean). However, this scenario has yet to "reveal itself" to me.
Of course, part of me still wants to do an Equestria Girls horror/mystery in the vein of the classic giallo. Giallo is the Italian predecessor to the modern slasher film - an often schlocky murder mystery with gruesome, over-the-top kills committed by an unknown killer. To give a small taste, here's the trailer for one of my favorite giallo films, Deep Red (1975):
Feature Film in less than a month. Equestria L.A. in two. Here's looking forward to both!
Well it's good to hear from you again
