Update plan for near future

Posted 6 years, 2 days ago by Ledokol

          Now that I've mostly done with filling the blank history section of several warship android OCs in the AE verse, it's time for me to pay more attention at OCs from other plots. So far I feel the plot that I've neglected the longest is my APH-themed city OCs. Aside from recently uploaded the personification of Singburi (whom I consider 'finished' by now as I have no intention to bring the myth-filled history of the province into his profile), I didn't touch the other three for months.

          Partially, that's because I feel the profile layout I first chose for those three is kind of difficult to work with, with loads of information this type of OCs often has. Hence I refrain from uploading any new city OCs for a long time because some of them have even more information than those three (like Belgrade or Zadar whose history started far back even before Roman Empire fully conquered the Balkan Peninsula, putting it over 2000+ years). Now though, I think I found a new layout that may work better (more organized?) but the history of city section might still be a pain to read because it'll be a really long scroll.   

          Here's a preview of what I'm working on with transferring Valentin's profile.

          Zinaida and Hrvoje should get their profiles transferred to this layout as well once I'm done with Valentin. If all goes well, after this I may submit more city OCs using this same profile layout. (me and my weird obsession with wanting OCs of a same(?), certain type to share one 'standard' layout.. Orz)


          As for the Artificial Existence plot, I may slow down on submitting more OCs for a while. A news in RL hit me a week ago that the RL counterpart of Podolsk and Garya are retiring at last. With my concept of plot progressing that OCs will cease their active roles in the plot when the RL counterpart isn't on active duty in RL anymore, this puts the plot in the first major turning point. To mark this change, I'll need to write a fiction about the change within the Pacific Fleet's submarine division as both Garya and Podolsk hold rather a prominent role each (Garya as the 'savior' mentor to Nevskiy and Monomakh while Podolsk being the 'delegate' commander of the base).

For the moment, my list of plans looks like this::

          - Transferring Valentin, Zinaida and Hrvoje's profiles to new layout.

          - Write a fiction about the turning point in the PF

          - Add more OCs into the Slavic Mythology plot (aka 'stop slacking and finish Veles' art, will you?') and transfer Jarilo's profile to a new layout like Morena's

          - May work on more OC or two for the 'Misc. Real World' folder (for sure, that Polish contemporary ballet dancer I planned since last year)

          - ***More female OCs PLEASE (I got a new tablet now...what isn't ready is my female drawing skill though =__=);;; )

same as sardine, very impressed with the realism and the research you invest in your characters!

          Thank you. :) There are times when I feel I have spent too much time doing research for my real world setting OCs that I have no idea how to work with fantasy OCs anymore. :'D When I wrote a short fiction about my Slavic deity OCs last month, my subconsciousness kept telling me to explain how their magic works. I was in a small dilemma like 'does magic really need an explanation'?   

I'm definitely in the same camp, where I like to explain the "science" behind my magic because I enjoy it more that way :P although it's true that magic that doesn't have explanations/make sense can be appealing too!

Love how much research you put into your characters, man @@ Also, I'm looking forwards to more Slavic mythology characters!!

          Thank you! :) I like doing research but sometimes constant researching also means constant editing and never actually 'finish' an OC because there's always something new to add.   I've started working on Veles' profile a bit, if I can manage to finish his art soon then I can submit him next month.

Haha, I know exactly what you mean! I take ages to write ANYTHING because even if it's fantasy, I end up researching so much and often getting kind of lost in that, hah. I'll be excited to see him though :) Have a nice day!
