Jethro Book 3 No Place Like Home.
I don't have the write up yet, but you can get a lot just from the title. Sorry. I'll work on that when the book is closer to launch.
FAQ:
1: The Asian woman with Black (yes it's black) hair, who is she?
She's someone you've read about in some of the books and short stories...
2: The ghost cat... huh?
That is a young Bastet. (Bast) For more info on her, go read Pirate's Bane.
3: That HUD is cool, is that his suit?
No. That's what Jethro sees with his implants...
4: That thing coming at him... what is it?
That's a smart whip. The tip has a shape metal in it that is responsive to the user's thoughts. It can change into a mace...blade... etc..
5: Where did you make that, did you make it all yourself?
Hardly. I'm getting lazy in my old age. I made the Veraxin and a few minor props. The rest are from Renderosity, ShareCG, Daz3D, and Deviantart. The HUD was made from stamps from um, that Z guy. Z-Design. I almost remade that by hand. Glad I figured out Gimp can import the brushes! :)
And finally,
6: That thing in the left bottom corner... what is it?
That is a drone that squished a Veraxin. The redressed drone is from Daz3D and is someone's version of the drones from the movie Oblivion. The guns and 'face' are facing the left out of view.
For those of you who haven't read the comments, I finished Multiverse 1 and handed it off. I'm catching up on chores and family things... (about to be kidnapped to play Dominant Species again) and then I'm going to spend the next week or so working on the cover to Multiverse 1, dealing with any editing issues that the guys bring up, and deciding on what to write next. I'm debating on Alive, or Bootstrap Colony 2. I'm leaning heavily to Alive since I just did a Bootstrap story for Multiverse 1, along with some Federation shorts...
EDIT: I passed the latest version J3 on to Thomas again (he lost his copy... again) and Jory this morning. We'll see what they say about it. I'd still like to publish NEXT MONTH. :)
Poon and dad talked to me about um... the lady's hair. It is black with red highlights. So, I rendered out another version, (spent all afternoon) and here it is:
Two last things, 1 I'm going insane at Daz with their march madness sale. I've bought most of the cover art material for Multiverse 1, (minus the last piece of the puzzle) as well as material for the covers of my next 6-8 books plus all sorts of other projects. lol Now Renderosity is getting into the act, DinoRaul's dinosaurs have gone on sale again. I'm going to be buying a bunch more for the cover art of Bootstrap Colony 2 Second Chances....
Which leads me to the last thing, since I've been waiting on that last bit to go on sale, I puttered around with editing and then got into writing Bootstrap 2. I'm 76 pages into it, I started Friday the 21st. I was averaging 10 pages a day... but I fell behind today to do edits and the above fix. lol Oh well.
PS:
Little Puff: Maine vrs Firefly: I haven't modeled the Newmann (Maine) Arboth, Nelson, or some of the other classes yet. I'll get to it eventually. lol
