Ok, I have a couple of things to tell you about today.
First, I don't want to give too much away since I plan for a lot of the story to be about surprise, but I'm thinking about calling the chapters of Tyrian—instead of "Chapter X:"—"Truism X:", and having a weird little Artifex truism as their title (e.g.: "guns create people!", except I'm most likely not going to use that one specifically since I didn't come up with it myself).
And then there would probably be an intro sequence with either an Artifex trying to explain the argument in a TEDTalks-like format or just a random anecdote happening at one of the Artifex places but still involving the weird idea in the chapter title.
My idea is that I'll get started on these "truisms" some time in the not-too-distant future before I try to do the actual story, probably at random times while I'm taking breaks from working on Stablehand/Tenkai. It may mean some or all need to be redrawn if my skills improve by the time I do the actual thing, but I've discovered that it tends to make me more willing to actually get something done if I just get SOMETHING done right now, no matter how utterly crappy it is. And oddly enough, half the time when I "just draw garbage" it actually comes out okay anyway, if not exactly wonderful.
Second, I'm currently working on separating all the Tyrian pages out into their own hub kind of like the Stablehand pages. I don't know when that will be done though.
