Dark Child Chronicles - W'I.P
« on: November 13, 2009, 04:37:31 AM »


Hi fellow shipyarders,

For those of you who have already seen the previous Darkchild photonovel, this is where I'll be posting all Work In Progress images for the re-worked 1st chapter, and for any subsequent chapters.

Since starting the novel, my photoshop skills have moved forward, so just for fun I'm going back through the story and updating things a little. It's also a chance for me to re-brand the story as from now on it will only be featured here at IMPERIAL SHIPYARDS and in Video format on YouTube.

I'd also like to invite customisers the opportunity to showcase their work here. I can use images of customs and integrate them into the story, there is no need to send me customs. One thing I must stress, I do require quality images from customisers, so please only apply if you can supply good quality photos.

If you keep an eye on my Avtars, they will be changing each time I have a new teaser image. I don't want to give too much away right now but a small 100 x 100 image should wet your appetite.

I have to thank Jay (Wraith9) who'll be offering me his services as Research Advisor and also contributing to future story direction. I would lastly like to say that this will be  a long term project and ideas, comments or suggestions are most welcome.

I'll shortly be deleating all the Darkchild chapters in preparation for a re-release.

Thanks for checking out my post, and I hope you enjoy this IMPERIAL SHIPYARDS feature presentation.

FYI, I'm using a font called Century Gothic.

I must admit I took the liberty of copying the code. I am gonna see if there is any way we can make this the standard font for the Yards. It looks great.

Just to give you guys an idea of the changes I'm making here is a comparison between a shot from the original release and a new image...

...my photoshop skills have moved forward...


That's quite an understatement  ;). You've fast become a master at it, Jules. Should you wish to use any of my customs, I'd be honoured to provide some quality shots. Ever since I bought my DSLR, photography has really become a serious new hobby of mine.

I like the Century Gothic font. It's easier to read than the current one. Tahoma and Verdana aren't too bad either, though  :)

I wasn't sure if you'd be able to improve upon perfection, but clearly you've done it. Love the new shot, Jules.

Yes, like me, for you, Jules, it's all about the details, isn't it?

Amazing Jules. Though I have great love for the old images at the same time. Can't wait to see the first chapter.
