story number one

I promised I would post about the different story ideas I am trying to develop at the moment.  The first is one I have already begun in a way as it has already seen print in Loaf Magazine, issues one and two.  This story is really not a story at all but a set of story ingredients, specifically a community of characters and a location.  I began thinking about it when I wanted to make a starting point for an AD&D style roleplaying game.  The characters were designed to represent different roleplay staples like the cleric, the ranger, the warrior, the wizard and so on whilst being, at the outset of the story, normal folks doing regular jobs in a small community.  The butcher was the warrior, the shepherdess was the ranger and so on...

Here are the drawings I made when I first came up with the notion:

the shepherdess

    Nice!

    Strangely, my sketchpage is full of butchers at the mo too, but maybe we are involved in the same event in October?

    That's it. Not got your notification yet? Gove says that's what we've all got to do.

    I'll explain when I see you...

    I shall look forward to that. I guess we both regularly sharpen things... so that's a start.
