One way to add excitement to your story is by adding lots of bad-guys, also known as EXTERNAL Conflict. Another way is by adding INTERNAL Conflict, more commonly known as Angst.
I'm sure most of you have noticed by now that most movie characters, and far too many book characters, are One-Dimensional.

I'm probably about half way through with respect to laying the paint down but I've a lot of blending and touching up in front of me. I can't seem to get enough of Sephiroth.

Now I've returned to working on my own visual novel - doing backgrounds plus finishing off the writing.
Not much else has changed - my life is pretty boring.
