So for those of you who remember me before I vanished off of the face of the Earth: I didn't die.  I had lost interest in continuing with using Deviant Art.  But something reminded me about all the fun I had with the site in the past.  So I've decided to start over.  I'm more mature (I hope), more experienced, and better equipped for using this site.

I've also decided that in order to start anew, I need to destroy the old.  I've made a new account where I will be posting all of my future works.  If there are people I befriended in the past who want to renew that friendship, follow me to that other site and I'd be more than happy to catch up with you.

Things I plan on posting: Warhammer 40k stories, pictures of my actual 40k (and other wargame) miniatures as I get them, various sprite/pencil/digital arts as I try to get back into practice with them, stories in custom settings (now actually going to post stories in one of them before abandoning it and making another one), and lastly, rules for an RPG I'm currently attempting to make.

Hope to see you again.

Damnit, doing the whole "read this and I tag you" trick.  I thought I was good at hiding.

Here goes:

1-How do you carry character creation?

I take a concept that I think would be pretty cool (or in the case of some of the Warhammer 40k characters I made make a theme and go off of that) and design a character around that.  I make up the name and personality after I get the concept out of the way and the appearance usually follows.  Or vice versa.  The characters tend to evolve from there, so some redesigns are always done.

 

2- If you've written about your characters, or you have done a comic of them, which character was on the first scene?

I didn't get this question, but I assume it means first serious character I ever made.  Looking back my first character was a self modeled character I named AJ.  I am not proud of my early works...  My earliest character I actually claim to be proud of is Sven from the 501st Hammer and Anvil back when I actively contributed to Sinclair's Absolution.

 

3- Who is the last character you've created?

If concepts count, I'm working on an Eldritch Horror whose name is in the works but is mostly gibberish.  If not, then a witch that specializes in manipulating electronics and metal named Beyza.  Expect that story at some point in the future.

 

4 - Do you feel dominated by your creations?

They tend to go off on their own and do their own thing.  I am constantly working on art for them and often burn myself out when it comes to working on them.  So yeah...

 

5 - With what character do you most identify?

Probably Sabine Chevalier.  She has an obsession with her hobby and is rather inept at social interaction that doesn't pertain to said hobby.

6 - Have you killed a character that you liked or loved?

Not yet, but I have planned on killing off a couple of characters that I haven't shown yet.  Wait, now that I think about it, I killed off two in quick succession in an RP I participate in.  Both were revived immediately after, but still.

 

7 - Which of your characters would you sleep with?

Don't normally think about it, but if I were required to pick, I would have to say either Mae or Faydra from the Sinclair group.

 

8- Is there an actor whose personality fits one or any of your characters?

Tom Cruise would be able to pull off a perfect Sven or Sytes.

 

9- Which character do you hate for no reason?

A Homestuck fan character I once made on another account.  Callix Zoigad was his name.  I dunno, I made him to be an antagonist, but I just hate him arbitrarily.

 

10- Do you cry when you write sad scenes?

I would need to make a sad scene to know.  I do however tear up slightly when I read a quote from a character in a PTSD infused voice.  "Sometimes... Time stands still... and all you can do is watch..."

So that might be an indication of things to come.

 

12 - A question of color: Do you have a dark-skinned character?

Yes.  Several characters that are literally black (I.E. Drow, black scales, actually made of shadow, etc.) and a few that are of African descent.

 

13 - And last question: Do you have a gay character?

Several Bisexual characters.  No fully Homosexual characters yet.

As for tags, I'm not pulling your trickery redwolfradolf!

Sooooo, just wanted to say I was not dead.  Now you all might be thinking, "Oh he must have been busy with real life stuff."

Nope.  I've been working on a Forum.  This forum is an OC/RP thing.  I was inspired by and decided to make myself a forum.  In addition to just being a casual RP group, I hope to add an RPG element to a part of it.  I am currently working on making stats, but I will only really start to do that after I pump out all of the lore.

You guys are welcome to take a look at what I have so far.  I apologize for how bad the format looks, but I have no idea how to add skins and the like to it.  Any help in that regard is appreciated.  Here is the Link: s13.zifboards.com/Notchthegrea…

It takes place in the This Hollow World setting I made a while back.  Leave a comment or send me a note if you have any questions.  I am the only Admin so far, but I plan on adding more when it starts to get rolling.

Avoid looking at the early stuff I wrote and submitted into the gallery.  It's physically painful to read and full of promises of finishing projects and failure to do so.  I like to think I deleted the worst of the stuff.

On another note, I found that Gmod comic I made featuring a very many people that I abandoned mid way.  For that, I apologize to all of you I abandoned.

From here on out, I will not post parts of a series, I will write the whole thing and post it in one sitting.  I hate how I keep abandoning projects as I work on them.  For those of you who actually read this, thanks for sitting through my short and pointless rant.

Finally got around to making the group for QUARANTINE.

For those of you who are interested or were following my posting of the setting, you can start making characters and writing stories for it.

I just need to make one more info deviation and then I can make my first story.  I hope you all like the setting.
