The Pursuit of Beauty
The Admonishments, Next Act
Sunny Days Teaser
Act 3, "Methods"
Burn-out • Hubris • Cradle • Passion • Calling


And we have now completed Act 2 of the Admonishments, which means it's time for a patron call!

In our next Act, entitled "Methods," many of your questions are answered: What is Shame's staff like? Why is Shame necessary? How are minors Corrected and is Shame ever involved? What's it like to be a fathrikedi? Where's the porn? And most importantly, how was Shame chosen for his job and who is allowed to Correct him? (Okay, so some of you might want to switch the last two around...)

The illustration for this segment is entitled "Sunny Days," and there's a piece of it above. In it, you'll see why I was griping about Ai-Naidari spines. It's also borderline not-work-safe, in that it contains nudity. I didn't do this for ratings, honest!

On a serious note, I really like this act. I think it shows the character as a character, and not necessarily as an omniscient shadow in people's lives. Once we're done with Act 3, we'll be over halfway through the collection; this breath-pause leads us into the last two acts with a better perspective on Shame, Kherishdar and Correction as a whole. I think you're going to enjoy it.










If I get ten donations (amount ≥ $1), I'll upload some extras... in this case, the full sketch for the illustration, which is significantly cropped in the final piece, and the failed version of the composition and my reason for discarding it.

Finally, you can use this post to tell me what other crimes, sins or mistakes you'd like to see handled. Some things already planned include suicide, sociopathy, addiction, another form of child abuse, theft and lying... so anything but those!

Hello... Goodbye! *ring* *ring*
I just watched my daughter roll from lying down to sitting up, all by herself... and then grab her toy cellphone and expertly start flipping it open and closed to make it ring and say, "Hello, Goodbye!" to her.

...

This is my future, isn't it. *chortle*

About LJ
I know I am unusually post-tacular today, but if you're one of the people who wants to do the content strike, you should go read Chipotle's analysis of why your protests are irrelevant; you will be assimilated.

Err, okay, that's not what [info]chipotle said, precisely. But if you really care about this stuff, you need to read it. It's got a graph and everything.
