RE: Hearts of Darkness - Plague of the Void Seeds / VoidArt COMPETITION 2
Wow! This is going to be challenging. An architecture student is likely to have a huge advantage. Still fun fun fun. I'll see what I can do...btw what's a Ziff?
(Kidding) I'm starting through the series, unlike the last time I was reading just the challenge description isolated from the story.
Lol! Hope it helps ;))
Boy you weren't kidding. I read through the story highlighting physical descriptions.
What do you think of this as a base design for a Ziff:
I thought they might have robes that let the feather knives hang out free.
I really like it! Are the 2nd pair of compound eyes at the top of his head? I had imagined the ziff as being closer to lizard than bird but I like where you are going with him! He reminds me of the Skexis from the Dark Crystal, some of my favourite characters ever. Perhaps ziff forms change depending on their predominant function in Ziff society? A robed ziff with more bird-like features is a priest or scholar, whereas a warrior is more lizard-like and attired for maximum speed?
Yeah, it gives them some eyes behind Thier head. I'm going to change somethings still. Bigger eye mass for one.
Just a thought, more of a suggestion really, have you considered publishing a omnibus of the previous work. I struggled reading the whole thing off my phone primarily because it took forever to find my way to the next chapter. Causing a break in a flow of the story. (or course they were written with that break in mind) On my laptop I have collected all the work so I can read it in one go, which got me thinking I cannot be the only one that might need to catch up....well, just an idea.
I do have more questions but I shall suspend them for now trusting that you have already answered them in your writing.
Have a great day...
It's a great suggestion. My only concern would be the length of the post causing any unnecessary overhead on the network. But perhaps I could create a catchup post linking to all the previous posts.
I really hope my future posts answer all your questions. However, as none of it is yet written, I'm happy to elaborate on something or answer questions where I can. It is a distinct possibility I could accidentally overlook something you see....I'm afraid we're all in this together.m! ;))
