I hadn’t mentioned it here yet, but I’m an artist on the in-progress Marathon scenario, Marathon Chronicles, being written and developed by The Man/CassandraLeo. The Pfhorums topic can be found at http://pfhorums.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=53553 (plain text link to avoid post-squashing); be wary of spoilers.
The very, very short version is that it’s a sequel to both Eternal and Rubicon’s Salinger Plank, meant to wrap up the former’s unresolved plotlines and the latter’s un-fired Chekhov’s Guns. Alpha builds are posted throughout the topic.
Condensed notes on each pic here are as follows:
* Early idea for Carroll Street Station (aka Purgatory), as well as the first Chronicles-related pic I drew of Marcus and Hathor together. Everyone else at the station is a ghost, but Marcus isn’t sure about Hathor...
* Marcus Jones, with and without helmet. It’s been a while in-between the Salinger incident and now, so he got a new set of armour. (Note: Aaron isn’t planning on directly showing Marcus’s face; my leaving his helmet off in most pics is just for ease of conveying emotion.)
* My first drawings of Platina, one of the main characters. They’re in a pretty bad state emotionally and eager to prove themself, and oh yeah--looks nearly identical to Durandal, who was sadly lost early in the second Pfhor-human conflict. Marcus is very interested in figuring out why this is. (Note: Platina being non-binary was a possibility Aaron mentioned recently, so discussion of their character prior to page 10 uses he/him)
* Ideas for Leela’s appearance (note: we’ll probably go with blue; green was included because that’s her colour in M1 and Eternal).
* Two environment pics for Antichthon, the Jjaro homeworld; first is the main council/courtroom of Parliament, second is part of the city outskirts.
* Some drawings of Yrro and Pharos. In this timeline, Pharos succeeded in grabbing a lot of power on Antichthon, albeit under circumstances that still haunt him (let’s just say that things weren’t as uneventful there as in Inmortalitas).
* Sketches of Marcus and Platina interacting.
* Marcus tries to take Pharos down early. There are problems.
