Some of you guys have been asking lately of what's going on with the dio and well, since I started playing FFXI Online, I haven't been doing much with it. A few shots here and there but honestly, I'm rethinking this big gun battle scene which means I need to build another set or 2. You can see that I've been sneaking in the current set(s) in 1-shots as of late so you have an idea what's going on. I DO have a making-of but that will be aired after Chapter4 on the DarkSonneilon site.
Between drooling over Lady Gaga and playing FFXI AND finishing up the quarter at school, I finally sat down to work on the dio (in terms of the computer side of things). I talked to DeathAtMidnite tonite to keep my remotely focused but I think I sent him more pics of Maryse and other chicks while working on the two art programs.
As I told him tonite, there was a reason I was procrastinating. I had to do a little info searching (ala google, wikipedia, etc) and had to concentrate on some fotoshopping stuff which I just wasn't mentally ready to do. Some of the stuff I did with the NeoVipers, I wanted to do for sometime now, but it just never worked out.
The real kicker is that I have plans for the next story (after DoomsDay Machine). This will... Well, old readers of my stories know what my stuff is like. You don't think I'd actually stray from my usual course, right? Maverick will be showing up in that (y'know, that figure I reviewed and showed off the other day...). Also...
While I'll be doing a recap of events at the beginning of my dio, Chapter4 is a departure from the main story BUT it WILL tie in eventually. It might happen as soon as Chapter5 and as late as Chapter6. It'll make sense in the end. I'm just teasing you guys with the NeoViper thing and anybody reading the next chapter will be like, "uh, I thought Cobra Commander was blowing up cities and blah blah blah". Well, he IS. But there's more than meets the eye (and this has NOTHING to do with Transformers!)!!!
Please be patient. It's being worked on. Just get me off FFXI and talk to me online and I'll be a tad more focused on the dio!

(Incidentally, I had another cover planned in my usual vein but forgot it and shot a new one...)
