I haven't been on Deviant for a while, but I was still creating. I just went through a lazy phase with uploading and neglecting my networking sites for a good while. I've upgraded a bunch of my computer equipment, but my current bedroom leaves me little room to fully utilize my large printer and scanner combo.

I've finally decided to add as much as I can today, continuing on tomorrow. I still have some more monster drawings to add, some creative challenges I have done, and some future work that comes my way.

I am currently working with my team to submit a game idea to Tabletop Deathmatch that is coming up soon. We have just about everything ready, just waiting on one of our partners to finish the character sheet and we can submit to it.

I've made my return to Drink and Draws, then stopped for a couple weeks from fatigue at work. Will return again this week.

Aside from that, Look for more uploads and await any further announcements. I want to maintain a rhythm before I start doing commission work.

*SITE UPDATES* : 7/4/13

My updates have been shite, but I have time off and I plan to post today.

- I am starting up an online store with Zazzle, to print original content that I use my existing works with new graphic designs. I plan to announce the site once I have enough pieces to showcase. This is a new venture I feel the need to pursue after seeing a lot of stalling on collaborative efforts and feeling the need to branch out on my own in my projects. Also if anyone is interested in suggesting what design I will make for a t-shirt, print or case, feel free to message me your ideas.

- I didn't win the Project Rooftop: Emerald Ensemble contest, but I was realistically hoping to get Honorable Mention. I'll still submit as they have an open submission on their site and hey, free publicity.

The Mystical Kingdom of Monsters kickstarter's creator, Kevin Glusing, sent me an early gift, by e-mailing me the monster I helped to design for the game to play in my Fourth Edition Dungeons & Dragons adventures. U look forward to playing it when I game this week.

*GAME DEVELOPMENT NEWS*
-  *Dungeoncraft*: I have designed all the monsters for the Game Manual. Currently doing research and concept designs for the Character Classes for the Game.

- *Thy Dungeon Quest*: Still awaiting news on this project. I actually sent an email to my partners of a tabletop gaming contest, only to meet with delays and when reminded, only got the run-around in regards to a direction. Hence my development of a new online store and perhaps, a return to comic art.

*MEDIA NEWS*
- I plan to set-up a day to do a green screen test as audio tests were completed and I plan to push for production on the series as we have WAY too much delays coming up and a need to focus is what I am pushing for progress on these endeavors.

I will be posting up a new creature soon, inspired by Lovecraft's Dunwich Horror. Mainly my weeks have been spent brainstorming ideas for the online store and gathering resources through the awesome resource site, Brusheezy. Aside from that, expect

As time goes by, I upload a bunch of images and make posts about them. Here are the updates of everything I am working on.

GAME DEVELOPMENT NEWS
- Dungeoncraft: I am focusing on developing Creature and Character Classes to accompany the DungeonCraft Game Manual.

- Thy Dungeon Quest: The Game is set, still awaiting a video and a Kickstarter plan to manifest. I did the art, I'm waiting on my two partners to deliver on their end.

MEDIA NEWS
- Night of the Lepus Review:We did a cold reading of the script as well as a Lighting Test. Audio Testing has been stalled due to scheduling conflicts. This will be resolved this week.

- The Garbage Pail Kids Review: Slow due to writing. I am writing as much material as possible, can't say the same on other fronts.

- Screening of Liquid Sky is the next film that is up for screening. This is dependent on when we shoot the Night of the Lepus video and fine-tune the Garbage Pail Kids script.

NEW IMAGES
Dungeoncraft Series: I will be spending time designing monsters and character classes for an in-development traditional game; Dungeoncraft.

Project Rooftop Green Lantern:Emerald Ensemble Contest Entry: Finally submitted an entry to Project Rooftop; a website that promotes superhero redesign.


Mystical Kingdom of Monsters Kickstarter Submission: I backed this project on Kickstarter and when it got funding; I backed for the opportunity to design a monstorin (Since apparently Wizards of the Coast owns the term "Monster"). I modified my Cuco design and gave it an evolutionary ladder while giving it the backstory of it being construct creatures designed to project magic users with their ability to copy and use magic. All were accepted and will be put into the first edition of the game manual.

Other Pieces

- Nylarus: Final Cthulhu Homage piece

Outside of art, my workload has been in a stable at my day job, but I will have to seek additional means of income by either  accepting commissions or opening up an online store. Since I have a wealth of work, but I never bothered to seek out a profit with it, save for the odd freelance job here or there, and they are not coming my way any time soon. On the plus side, I got my sister a job at my workplace and she is happy to be finally making money.

Sadly, I do not have any funny jokes or pranks to share, thought the web more that compensates for it with the joke post of Peter Dinklage being replaced by Warwick Davis for Game of Thrones and George Takei being in the Next Star Wars. Also, when my sister comes home from class, she wants to watch the Soul Eater episodes with the most famously infamously ridiculously awesome weapon character; The Legendary sword, EXCALIBUR!

Also, after a ridiculously lengthy hiatus from being a Dungeon Master for Dungeons & Dragons, I have returned to the DM screen... and nearly killed my entire party with a pack of Worgs. And this is only Encounter One! I planned it out in hopes to wrap up my epic story and it may actually take a little while longer if I continue to endanger my players this way, but I have it set, so let's see how they handle themselves next time. On the plus side, I believe my perverted Elven Cleric will soon be Level Nine and I guarantee that the rest of the party will be leveling up quickly as well with my encounters. Plus, I retooled my own enemy creations and have a huge Cemetery and Temple scenarios for the players to undertake. So, yeah, battles upon battles are in their future.

Two weeks ago, I think, I and a few of my collaborators did a successful playtest of the upcoming Dungeoncraft game to test out the new rules for the game. The new rules allowed for further growth within the game, allowing us to add a Mission Tier structure for a game that allows players to draw the map while fighting monsters, collecting items and crafting items.

Last week, me and the same friends/collaborators started the first step in our video series by watching our first bad movie; Night of the Lepus. I am writing my rough draft for the script and gathering clips and audio to add to the review experience. So far, I have most of the Cold Open, a beginning leading up to the middle and a great deal of gags and observations.

Tomorrow, I should be able to view a rough cut of the Kickstarter video for the other game I did artwork for, Thy Dunjon Quest. I am still hesitant regarding the goals and perks, but my collaborators seem set on their goal and I will just wait and see how that works for us.

Now for latest artwork,

From Last week
- Cephalostacean
- Skelesentry
- Octopodis
- Fiery Seraph
- Nylarthoptherex

This weeks additions

- Playtest for the upcoming _Dungeoncraft_ Game went super well that former ideas that were dropped are soon to be implemented for further testing. For those not in the know; Dungeoncraft is a game where the game map is drawn by dice, as well as determining items and monsters. We have added a more developed crafting mechanic and a Mission Tier structure.

- We should be doing our first viewing this week for me and my group's upcoming internet series. We had a couple of pre-production meetings and brainstorming sessions to compile gimmicks, bits, and other services. The first film we will watch is *Night of the Lepiris* about giant killer rabbits. Yup, its gonna be that kind of show.
