Exposition on Ch. 1: Zidane is Sore
That's about as creative a title as you are going to get. I just couldn't think of anything for tonight. XP
My computer is showing signs of acting up again, so let's make this quick. Midgar=new background. If you've ever seen "Jackie Chan Adventures", you can sorta see where I'm getting the background from.
Zidane looks more like Zidane in today's installment, and the curse cloud is back, heh! I also like how Cloud's cape turned out.
Don't forget--we had 11 different authors for this project. If one day's narrative style sounds different from another's, that's probably because it is.

Exposition on Ch. 1: Teaming Up
Man oh man, where do I start?
I guess an apology is good. I apologize for not announcing an official holiday sabbatical. After all, what do you do when your computer dies completely? Apparentally, my scanner got mad when I got it under control, so it conspired with my computer, and I lost everything.
Fortunately, everything FF: Survivor related survived, which is a HUGE relief on my part. (To say nothing of my original art folders--I would have been very upset, had I lost those.)
My sabbatical was only supposed to last as long as the end of the holiday season or as long as it took to fix my computer, whichever came last. Unforunately, complete wipe-age of the computer means all loss of passwords, so I was unable to upload for the past few days. My fault. ^^;
Oh, right, the exposition!
So here we finally have the breakdown of the teams. Cloud is the captain of the Avalanche team, while Zidane commands the Tantalus crew. As hinted at before, the breakdown could be seen as early as the Chapter Image--with Avalanche's people bearing blue dropshadows, and Tantalus' red.
There was an incredible amount of text, which I really didn't want to squeeze into the image, being that it was mostly explanation of the challenge. So I cut it short, and prayed that you would read the text. If you don't, you won't miss too much, but try and see if you can guess where the three clues lead.
Today's image might seem kind of weird, because I had scanned it in at full color versus b/w, to capture Arpix's coloring (more on Arpix in a sec). Cloud and Zidane look especially greenish.
Now for the copyright parts. Both the image of the Highwind and Midgar come straight from the FFVii Player's Guide. Arpix is a character that appeared recently in "Chasing the Sunset", and if you want to see why Arpix is playing a cameo in FF:S, then run over to here. Thanks to Mithandar and Alien for letting me borrow the creature. ^_^
Till next time--which I hope will be Friday, but I've learned not to make promises anymore. Not till I get a better computer. ^_~
