General - An Old Webpage Teaser Page from 10 Years Ago...

This is a post that should be filed under wow was I ever wrong, when I used the word "soon"...   

Tonight I was combing through my mounds of "All things Azmathia" and came across an a link to an old web page that I had published nearly 10 years ago.   As mentioned in an earlier post Azmathia is a Sci-Fi Fantasy Saga that has lived in my mind for nearly 30 years in various forms.   The world has grown in scope, since my 11 year old imagination began combining all of my favorite Scifi, Fantasy, Political Observations, and love of cool SF machinery and armor.   Early attempts to create a written world have struggled as I was learning the habit of writing on a daily basis.   In the early years I thought I would be able to learn 3D animation and tell the story in that venue, but in spite of my 3D CAD skills I never found that media completely compelling, and it never developed beyond my acquaintances who had more skills in their discarded finger nails from last century than I could muster in my entire life.   (One example is Ekrat, his early Star Wars models were out of this world!!!  If your in the market for 3D imagery, you should check the gallery over at Colorzync.com )

That make me realize that I would need to find other venues to develop the story and ideas.  There is even a board game version that I built with the intent to play with my nephews.   One of these days I will pull it out and takes some pictures of the progress that, that aborted project.   Then life and my six kids, over ran my time.   I would occasionally sketch or find an story that demanded that it be written, and even recorded audio descriptions of the world and characters, as I was driving from pizza delivery to pizza delivery.  

What follows is the page from a long forgotten webpage that is nearly 10 years old to the day.   I find it interesting that while the story has continued to develop and grow the overall structure is still quite similar to the information from the page.

This is a purely Sci-Fi story that will focus on the origins of the Tlasi built Planetary Research Station (PRS) - PRS-04975 "Azmathia''. (Note: It is now called the 'Azmathian Dawn'). It is at the center of the conflict between four warring factions.  
This is the story of Freedom and the unquenchable flame that burns with in the souls of men.  I will be giving you much more in the coming months.  There is a lot of things that make this story worth telling.  

Until then here are a few concept sketches to fire the synaptic pathways...

Both are rotting them from the inside!

A SPECIAL THANKS to a good friend, Brandon Koller, he has given the Shamari sharp looking face to begin the fleshing out of this ancient and crumbling cast ridden system.   A system that values only the Elites and is crumbling from within.
