Watching Twitter's Funeral Pyre 🍿 Watching Twitter burn has been both sad and entertaining for a great number of reasons. Entertaining: the jokes and memes that are being born, plus watching all the weird nerds get super defensive—like they're in a dick-riding contest but only now just realized it. At the rate Twitter is going, I'm surprised that I haven't seen any Fail Whale memes yet—anyone remember the fail whale? Anyone? Anyway, there's a strong part of me that hopes that one certain billionaire baby devalues Twitter so much that a company like Automattic (makers/maintainers of WordPress) snatches Twitter up. I mean, Automattic bought Tumblr after Verizon fucked up the platform, and now it's doing fine. Whether or not Tumblr went back to pre-Verizon days with allowing adult content is sort of up in the air, though. Side-note to that, Apple is technically at fault for the adult content ban due to their own anti-pornography policies. So people blaming Verizon or Automattic need to

Silent Shadow News So yes, I went silent again (well, considering what I've been working on, no pun intended.) Since my last post I've been vigorously working on various short stories for Silent Shadow—mostly prequel stuff. I'm writing the prequels to get a handle on the character personalities, but the sad part is I may not release the prequels because the content contains adult situations and stuff some people may find triggering. That last post I had back in September mentioned a character lineup. I have it—sort of. It's not going in my regular gallery, but I'll post it here so everyone knows that I'm working hard(-ish). From left to right: Kestrel, Toma, Michael, Syleth, and Rowan Not an official height chart (yet). This may undergo some changes. I made Syleth a little shorter (5'7) from her original 5'9 during the 2005-2010 run of the web-comic. Kestrel is listed as 5'11 but I'm debating on whether or not to bring her height down as well. The guys are going to stay the same.

The first part of new Silent Shadow content is an updated character lineup coming before the end of next month. There will probably be two: one for Hawk & Wolf, and another for Firestorm. I'm pretty confident on the progress I've made with Firestorm. However, the only thing that would slow up a release is the rewrite of Hawk & Wolf. Long story short, I need to finish up outlining Firestorm (plus writing the important scenes), and come back to Hawk & Wolf. I should mention that Hawk & Wolf, Firestorm, and The God Complex (which is still in my head) are all going to be released as short-stories, or something that falls between short-story and novel. Which leads us to: Why is there no Silent Shadow webcomic? A lot of the delay was deciding whether or not to stick with Poser (mentioned my conflicting reasons here (which was almost a year ago—wow), but basically, the biggest part of wanting to moving on from the Aiko/Hiro3 models is that they are so limited in their geometry.
