Hello all!

Bleh, I'm day behind with the rendering, the previous scene took just way too long to pose, I spent two days on a scene that I should be able to do in one day, but it is what it is. Well, technically behind anyway, render count wise I'm "schedule", but it's one of those things, I want X be done by Y date, and it isn't I get grumpy even though it would be beyond my control. But I reckon it will fine in the end.

Same issues is with writing, but you have issues with one task (posing) and it pushes everything back. Luckily, I'm not far off with it and I know what I need to write. And I still have that buffer in hand, don't want to waste those but... eh, anyway.

Some more discussions and waiting... some impatience in the air. It's one of those times that it's... annoying. You know something is going to happen, soon, but you don't know where. And knowing that you need to act because... various reasons, the time spent waiting is difficult, and extremely frustrating. But he'll live, all in good time.

Detective Kendrick: "I was told you could tell me about Alexander Ward?"

Detective Cross: "Yeah, we know about Mr Ward."

Detective Graves: "Anytime his name pops up things get weird and difficult to deal with."

Officer Cooper: "Weird things happen around that guy, ma'am. No matter what you collect about him, it just vanishes into thin air."

Detective Graves: "23rd had a folder regarding the Meadows incident. It had a mention of him, but the folder self-combusted as far as we know."

Detective Kendrick: "Really? Self-combusted?"

Detective Graves: "Yeah. It was in Detective Hurst's hands when it just ignited. Just full-on fire. Poor guy's hands were burned badly. The CCTV footage is still available if you don't believe me."

Detective Cross: "And he swears he saw something red making rude gestures at him just before it ignited. But noting on the CCTV, just out of the view in a blind spot."

Yeah... Something random. There have been questions about detectives Simon Cross and Rebecca Graves. Yes, this is the first time I've told their first names, I believe. Obviously, I can't really tell will we will meet them again as I'm not writing Sorcerer 2 at the moment. But they are sort of involved in the background right this stage. When you create a character there is a lot of information that you need, I have spreadsheets full of things regarding people in my stories. In a world where magic exists, and mythological creatures roams the streets there will always be people who know things, and are put to solve things regarding them. Cross and Graves are those people who get the cases with "unknown" elements, most of them just turn out to be crimes made by normal people, but at times there are more to them than eye can see... And as for Officer Cooper? Well, unfortunately for him, he is just "supernatural magnet", he has seen things that are best left undescribed... And yes, detective Kendrick is a new character. There has been a couple images of her around. But how she is involved will need to wait untill Sorcerer 2...

And with that, you all have a great weekend! I'll do some more stuff before I take a break.
