The Thirteenth Hour Podcast #572: Thirteenth Hour Sequel Update 21 - Logan and Aurora's House Illustrations

This week, wanted to talk about Logan and Aurora's house for The Thirteenth Hour sequel. I recently finished a painting of an illustration I started a few months ago. I'm talking about the outside as well as the inside, especially all the personal touches they put in to add some element of convenience to their little sanctuary - a stone hearth, a shower area, a root cellar, and their tatami-like sleeping area. This is a picture did a few years ago:

And here is the outside in the picture that I just finished. My son thought it looked like a Hobbit house - I guess it does, since it's partially in the ground (I imagined that Logan and Aurora would have carved out a part of a hill), but probably not quite as cozy or finished since Logan and Aurora would have had to do this all by hand with only a few borrowed or bought things (like their window, the lock on the their door, and so forth).

I really think I should try to make a blueprint of the floor plan, so to speak, to see how it would all be laid out, and maybe a model of the house, maybe out of clay, since it would be fun to see it in 3 dimensions.

More next week!

Once Upon a Dream, the second Thirteenth Hour soundtrack, is now out in digital form!

It is out on most major streaming services such as Bandcamp, Spotify, and YouTube Music. (If you have no preference, I recommend Bandcamp since there is a bonus track there and you will eventually be able to find tapes, CDs, and special editions of the album there as well.)
