In the spirit of fantasy classics like the original Clash of the Titans I am going to introduce a new character to my novel during the rewrite. N0-R4 (Nory for short).
 |
Nory is a unique automaton created by Estro Salius. His main function is to serve as a long range scanner. He is an invaluable asset in the search for ancient ruins. Unlike other automatons, which have mostly been discovered and re-purposed, Nory has been completely designed from scratch by Estro. He will go on to become a major character of the novel, albeit one without a single line of dialogue.
As of this writing I was considering giving Nory a matte black paint job with small hints of gold color, but he's a technically a robot and Estro's constructs are capable of re-configuring themselves on the fly (pun intended). So I'm giving adaptive color. This will make him almost invisible against the sky. That just makes sense to me. |
Before viewing the spreads below I urge you to visit the page of Aristotle's Voice. Like his page and please like his songs, especially A Journey Home. The track was inspired by these paintings and together they will immerse you into the world of Giaos.

| Spread #1; pages 1 and 2. Nory patrols the vast wilds around Estro's research station. |
 |
| Spread #2; ages 3 and 4. Nory is almost home. |
 |
| Spread #3; pages 5 and 6. Nory approaches the research station. |
 |
| Spread #4; pages 7 and 8. Nory lands and we get the first clear look at him. |
