| I have written another little short story, "The Good Guest": http://www.fantascienza.net/leonardo/le/the_good_guest.htm
This is only the 4th story I write in English (while I have written many more in my language, but I have stopped writing few years ago, so in the meantime I have lost some of my writing skills). My English is far from perfect, so I appreciate any suggestion or problem you may spot. Goldfur is the inspiration of many of my ideas and literary world still, even after 10 years. And I owe hir a lot. | comments: Leave a comment  |
| Scale has drawn Chakasa Fuocoblu again, this time in a quite different style. Despite this image looking almost ugly compared to most of the last Scale's works, it is meant to look like this. This is his 3rd/4th attempt at drawing an image of Fuocoblu in this flat style (Scale has recently drawn few other imags too in this style). As you may see it's a cross between a reference image, an Egyptian-style painting, and a cubist (multi-perspective) image:

Lot of people have complained that chakasas look ugly, so I've tried to improve their look and remove design bugs at the same time. So I have changed their hands. In the image you can see the new design of the chakasa hands (but the back of chakasa hands is usually furred). They have just one thumb and 5 nails, so they look a lot like human hands. Chakasa nails are dark/black, very strong, they are anchored to the bone of the finger, and if you stress them (like drumming your fingers some days on a hard surface) they grow thicker and thicker (so you can later sharpen them). | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment  |
