1W30 …story development

The Story

“… and then a power spell was cast from the mage…” these words are part of my latest sons’ story. His new story involves magic, casting spells and fighting from distance.

Conclusion

There is a certain pattern that I can see in the development of my sons’ stories. From a very close combat stories/fights, he moved to a more “distance” fights. As he crows up he realized the danger of close combat and he seems to understand what the outcome may be out of such a fight. I am certain that the main factor to lead him to this change is his karate lessons. The more he gets into karate the more he realizes the dangers of such a fight. It is not that he afraid, but is more the knowledge he gains from the lessons. He knows that no fight is good, unless you are in a great danger. He learned that even though you may be stronger you better avoid the fight.

1W29 …references

Photos for references

My visit to Greece was a very proactive visit for my project. I had the chance to visit the museum of Acropolis and take some photos of some creature statutes. I will use these photos as animal references, and references to design my “3D animal”.

 

I took also some photos from a weapon seller at Monastiraki. The photos of the melee weapons will give me a better idea of how to design my own 3D models. The details are great and the designs are very good.

 

The Story

It seems that every day my sons’ stories developed into more “magical” ones. He likes to use more of power spells rather than body to body fights. This is something that may lead me to change the final story until the end of this year.
