Life Abounds in a Desert of Death - by Elobo

Even the heat-scorched sands of a Desert known as Death can harbour a thriving cradle of life. Sand Lizards and Arrow Lizards skitter up to their rocky outcrop, littered with burrows. Weary from their thirsty daily existence, they seek to retreat into their network of homes before the shattering cold of night. They are together now, secure before they challenge the overwhelming presence of the blistering sun once more in the morrow.

Elobo	Sunshine In the Forest Page 2	SunshineForest - #03 I chose Bushie as the main character for this particular book. It's a choice I made because he is the friendliest enemy encounter in the Sunshine Forest and I felt people who have not played the series could easily identify with him.	7/16/09
Elobo	Sunshine In the Forest Page 3	SunshineForest - #04 With the other characters here I should talk about the artstyle. This was chosen as a combination of factors. I found it appealing, and I also figured it would set it apart stylistically from a lot of the other offerings. You'll notice that only the main characters or those that interact with Bushie are coloured in. This is a focal conceit.	7/16/09
Elobo	Sunshine In the Forest Page 4	SunshineForest - #05 The Ramblin' Mushroom here does not factor into the story, so he has not been brought to full attention. This technique also lets me populate the Forest with other creatures without stuffing them down someone's throat. It shows that other stories are unfolding all around this one, and a kid can extrapolate the stories themselves. I think this benefits a story that otherwise directs you from beginning to end.	7/16/09
Elobo	Sunshine In the Forest Page 5	SunshineForest - #06 Uh oh, what's all this then? There are a few hooks like this that will have later consequences. Though there is an overarching plot there are a few lessons along the way.	7/16/09
Elobo	Galvanized Insanity	In the strange string of spacetime known as Moonside, both abstract notion and mundane normality are twisted together and made one. The creativity of its people bleed into the world and become tangible and terrible. Dali's Clock is no exception. The nature of Moonside is always in sway, and the Clock can ebb with its tide better than most. Time is easy to master where it is not so absolute.	4/29/09
