Phantasm Update:
Previously I mentioned that I had a problem with my hard drive. It ended up being worse than I initially thought. I’ve sent it to get fixed but it’s been over a month now and I’m not sure when I’ll get word on it.
I really wanted to wait until after I got my hard drive back to make a post but I’m not sure how much longer I can put this off.
If I’m not able to salvage anything off my hard drive it will set me back significantly. That doesn’t mean I’ll be abandoning this project though. It just means it’ll take much longer to finish.
If I can say something optimistic about this however, it’s that it’s been somewhat of a blessing in disguise. The story had reached a point where i didn’t really know how to tie all the loose threads of ideas together and it just stagnated.
So as I’ve been rewriting the script, I managed to get a fresh perspective on things and a lot has changed since my my initial conception of the idea. A good chunk of the first act is already done. All of the 8 new endings are all planned out, the backstories of the main four characters are fleshed out and several side characters have been reworked to fit the new mood I’m building. It’s a little darker than the original version, it’s got a bit more depth and explores some personal issues I’ve grappled with through the characters.
But it’s still a good old mystery story at it’s core with a supernatural touch and some new twists and turns.
Here’s some of the new art I've done in the meantime:
