Turnabout?


I was talking with Graves and the impetus to do this suddenly hit me.

Yay for my color hermitdom!

The Esoteric

I felt the need to make a Strong Independent Male Figure in response to this nonsense: http://jubellation.tumblr.com/post/46513271513/sourcedumal-eschergirls-sulphuris

So well name this game “Emerald Cup” and the game will be full of strong masculine personalities who defend the world, and all the stats will list cock sizes and and what kind of body oil they use to slick themselves up for that visible youthful SHINE.

This guy would be the “Healer” type. He uses Respected Eastern medicine to treat his friends - but wary be his foes when he turns the needles upon THEM! As you can see he’s entirely dignified and practical. (I blame everyone, but especially CuriouslyHigh and Dark Proton. They wanted this to happen. In their subconscious they wanted it)

Optimistic Voices













You're out of the woods
You're out of the dark
You're out of the night
Step into the sun
Step into the light

Keep straight ahead for the most glorious place
On the face of the earth or the sky
Hold onto your breath
Hold onto your heart
Hold onto your hope
March up to the gate and bid it open


(PS - Doesn't look like Lion needs courage today. Amiright? Can I get an Amen?)

An Artist has passed away...

Calvin "Cman" Washington was struck by a drunken motorist while riding home from the local library in November and he left this world in early December.

You can find proof of that here among a few other places that list the accident.

Cman, Calvin, was a quite prolific and talented African American artist. He did buoyant, lively, and masculine erotic work. In many ways he was fearless. He ran a few blogs dedicated to his work and was the official artist for the Woofytales books.

You can find his DA account here: http://cmanart1.deviantart.com/

One of his blogs is here: http://cmanart.blogspot.com/

I just found this out this morning and sadly I never would have known. Calvin is someone I befriended online. He was warm and affable and so free with himself and his creative vision that I was always inspired by him. He is the second person I've known to have been murdered by a drunk driver (the first was my beloved cousin). I don't know how to feel about this. I never would have known he'd died because of how the internet keeps us all apart. In fact, I'd been thinking about him the other day and wondering why he hadn't posted anything lately. My heart breaks over his loss. We needed people like him in the wold, and now he's gone.

Rest easy, Mr. Washington. You will be missed dearly.

Game Cast-Line up





The main characters in the game have all of their bust/portraits done.

From Left to Right: Bella, Cratchit, Ebenezer, Fred, Havisham, Lady Dilber

Right now I'm working on their face sets for the status/main menu screen and then I'll be doing their fighting face sets.

Thus far...I love the way it looks.

More Sketches for the game

More game sketches

More game sketches.

This time showing two more allies and one…enemy, I guess.

Lady Dilber is NOT the villain or an enemy and you won’t be fighting her so…yeah. She’s just a different kind of woman. She’s more like Ebenezer in terms of world view - just as Bella is more like Fred in HER world view. Fan, of course, is Ebenezer’s sister and one of the few people who genuinely cares about. Don’t worry - she will NOT be playing the Damsel in Distress (even though she is lost in the castle with the rest of your allies.)

Havisham was Ebenezer’s governess and first lover. Without explanation, and a long absense, Ebenezer finds her in the castle aged FAR beyond what she should be. What happened to her? True, she betrayed him and joined the rebels but…this?

I’m sketching out the most important characters FIRST so I can feel my way through things. I’m taking a different tact this time than what I’ve done before. Big broad steps and then I run in and do detailing detailing detailing on that SECTION. That CHUNK. So that I don’t get overwhelmed or lose focus like I have many times before.

The mapping is done. The music has been chosen. There’s a general outline to what occurs.
I’m further along NOW than I have EVER been in a game project. I’ve been playing close attention to my intuition (and trusted friends) for guidance here. It’s exciting!
