Shea the Wolf

Sept 1956

This is the unfinished image of Jennifer's wolf totem. (I need to still do the background and coloring.) She will be referenced starting early in the story.

Here are the various stages for finishing it.

The trees are supposed to be Larix gmelinii.

I do like the shading here.

The background of this one was done on the computer instead of by hand. I will probably redo it at some point, and am still trying to fix the background, but it does show what the coloring will be like.

Test Layout

Jan 1957, Siberian Node
Dream/Vision (Dec 1963)


Jennifer looks in the mirror, confused and uncertain about who she is supposed to be.

Despite the fact that she has this dream after having been in the past for a few months, the last thing Jen remembers before "waking up" in the dream was falling asleep the night before she ends up in the past. This means that she doesn't know that she is in the past before being told by Sergey, and also that she doesn't know who Sergey is.

Intro - Maintenance

I am in the progress of putting this together, so this is currently set to private. I am still looking for co-authors for the story, as well as working on research. If anyone who is given access knows someone who would also like access, you can tell me, and I will add their name to the list. Keep in mind, however, that I will make it public when I am no longer in the initial development stages and no longer expect that everyone who is viewing this may be willing to help me put this together or at least knows that it is not in a viewable state.

Constructive criticism is appreciated, especially where you can actually help put this together. The following aspects can use assistance or are in progress:
  1. Website Design - Right now, I still need to figure out how to get blogger to do what I want. Then, making sure everything is functional/easy to navigate will be useful. I have no desire to make it overly complex, however.
  2. Naming - I still need a title for the story, and am currently using a working title. Naming chapters is also useful, but they do have names. Naming characters is also helpful if it uses the correct naming standard.
  3. Writing - What is useful here is to either to help me find a co-author, or you can look at the outlines and comment on them. You will have to ask me for the outlines.
  4. Drawings - finding good reference images
  5. Research - If you can help me find the information I am looking for, that would be helpful. I will explain in more detail what I am looking for elsewhere, or you can ask me for the detailed document or talk to me.
  6. References - I will try to put up the lists of all the people who helped me, the sources I used, and some of the fiction which I considered influenced this, including what the influence was. This is barely started, and will probably still have a lot of issues even when I am ready to make this public. If you have helped, and want to put your name up, put what you want to say somewhere (email or comment?), and I will put it up when I get that part of the website up. You can help site any of the other references as well.
