Last post for a while -- have some pics

[inverarity]

I'll be in a secluded top secret location over the summer. Okay, not really. But I will be preoccupied with other things, which means no time to play with Poser and Photoshop. (But don't worry, I'll still be writing in my spare time.)

But here are some rough drafts of scenes and characters from AQ3. (Some people doodle on sketchpads; I doodle with pixels.) Enjoy!

(Remember, these are rough drafts -- I've done little or no postwork on them, so yes, they suck. Well, more than my graphic art usually does. :P)

I had to switch to a new Poser model for Alex now that she's 13. I like how this pose came out, except for the too-short tank-top. Ignore the exposed midriff (and the skin poke-throughs); I'll fix that with Photoshop.



For those who thought Alexandra's friends didn't get enough time in AQATLB, you'll be seeing more of them in AQ3 (especially Anna).

Young Anna:



Older Anna:



Of course there will be Ozarkers:





And action!


And that's it for teasers for a while. Have a good summer!

Well, the 'aqatdr' tag has me wondering about the title. Alexandra Quick and the DR? Death Rangers? That was the first thing that came to my head. >.>

Anyway, I'm so glad we get to see more of Anna! :D And I think you've cleared up one mystery-- the Ozarkers are returning! Yay!

Oh geez, I really can't wait!
I hope you have a great summer

Oh, I'm excited for the next one so much! Haha, the Death Rangers, funny name but I hope it's not really called that. I'd say it's Alexandra Quick and the Dark Room. Ok, maybe that's a little boring. So probably not. Good teasers though and can't wait to find out more about Anna. I hope we can find out the title by the end of the summer at least. Have a good one!

Just finished reading AQ2

You are a remarkable writer -- and I say that not to give you a big (ger) head but to state a fact.

I am primarily a Harry Potter fanfic reader and someone I can't remember who recommended your story.

It has quickly become one of my all-time faves. She (Alex) reminds me a lot of Anne of Green Gables + some magic. A very stubborn, independent girl who has a good heart but constantly finds trouble, or it finds her.

I love you character development (the Ozarkers are precious!!). You have just enough darkness in the fic to make it a fingernail biter but not enough to let it get all about death and doers of bad deeds.

Will the next fic start at school or will she have an adventure, or two, over the summer?

You KNOW we are all sitting on the edge of our chairs - checking for updates on your profile (Daily - for me)

So -- -- may your muse run true and may you find the time to entertain us all again.

Take Care & enjoy the warmth of summer and know we are thinking of you as much as you are thinking of Alexandra Quick.

Alexandra Quick and the Dastardly Rules? ;)
