Long week short
Well, you'd have thought I'd been absent from work for a month, not a week, the amount of "stuff" that went on. So my time (and attention) on the book was signficantly less than hoped. Anyway, I did get another "Strange geometry" picture finished.
I've called it thing three. I'm nothing if not consistent. Hopefully I'll get more done this week as I'm really beginning to run out of time), although we're on another week of hols from Friday. That said, I've got more done in a tent than at home.

Strange Geometry
Well I'm back from a week of camping in what I like to think of as the UK equivalent of Lovecraft Country: Norfolk. I've four pictures from the back of the book either done or in progress - I've only taken pictures of three of them, so the fourth I'll post tomorrow.
This last section of the book needs to contain untranslated runes for Cale to decipher and, as with the rest of the book, it needs to be (vaguely) interesting to look at. So a page of the Runic font simply reproduced over and over is no good. I've therefore gone with the strange geometry shapes both from the many and various Lovecraft sources, but most specifically, some of Zorano's Cthulu scrolls.
(And no, I don't know why you can't zoom in on "Thing Two". Sorry)
I wanted something to break up the uniformity of the other two and something directly relevant to the plot of the game. It's the least finished of the four and I'll keep chipping away at it over the course of this week. Although I've not decided if I'm going to keep it or not, yet.
I'm on hols again in a fortnights time, so I want to crack on this week with getting more images in. I really ought to start on the writing, but I'm still unhappy with how the practice stuff is coming out.

| Thing Two |
These first two are pretty much done. I plan to add some annotation from Cale once I'm happy that I've got the style of writing nailed to "Thing One"'s bottom left hand corner. Top right of "Thing Two" has one last circle to go in.
In the end I decided to include random shapes that aren't in the runic font in order to pad and add points of interest. I guess they came out OK - there are already a couple of points that I dont like but I have a deadline to meet, so I can't hold out for perfection.
The last picture is different to the others in that it doesn't has a more "organic" (less straight) feel:
