A1 V1 C6 - The Temple of the King

Dimd! Damd! Dumd! Thus tolls the great black bell behind the distant sun. All look upon the one who was chosen, born under the rising sun, gifted with strength and a twinkle in his eyes. He sought the answer far and wide to the question he knew would be asked before the gates. Trembling and twisting, the search went on. Wherever he went, he was greeted with great hospitality and kindness, but none had the answer he needed. Day and night, under the eternal watch of the sun and moon, his worry grew, but so did his resolve to continue. The people sang, the lands prospered, the sky became clear, and the young man soon began to understand. One day with an old man’s song, the night never came, and he knew now why he was blessed so. Thousands watch as the now much older man stands before the temple of the king, knowing the outcome, but not how to get there. Yet the answer was always before and behind him. With a giving hand reaching back, and a determined fist thrusting forwards, the man

A1 V1 C5 - Snake Charmer

Treading silently through the empty streets, a crowd gathers for a single purpose. They surround another victim of his charms and paint a snake on their back. For hours all of them stand patiently, the victim bound to a pole with their head facing the sky, and silence reigns over these unmoving figures. Right before dawn breaks, a man appears and parts the crowd with a single strum of his lute. The snake charmer smiles as he examines the snake painting, and whispers to the victim: "Your dance will be magnificent, I can tell from the struggle you put the others through." He placed his warm hands on their face and started to stare intently at their eyes. Minutes went by, and once the rays of the sun illuminated his face, the snake charmer's eyes began to change colour. "See your true purpose in life. I can show you the way." His words were echoed by the crowd in an ever intensifying chant. Another hour passed, the chant now deafening, and the snake charmer now appeared as a serpent in

A1 V1 C4 - Catch The Rainbow

Fate brought us together on a wistful day, only to part us on a somber night. My heart and hers intertwined countless times in a loving embrace, again and again, and our minds were as one too. I long for those days, hoping she’d come back, yet dawn always breaks upon this still lonely soul. The moon and the stars were our dreams. One day, I said, we would reach out and touch them, but her eyes never looked upon them with the same wonder as they did a rainbow. Always over the horizon, yet never up - beyond the limits of the sky, and even today I wonder why that was. Life carries on - hers and mine - on different paths now, ones I fear will never cross again. My heart became a chain wrapped around my mind, locked down tight. I placed the key nearby. I know it’s still there, I can see it, I can reach it. So why don’t I? I do not know. All I know is that I fear the man I will become once I unlock these chains. Who is he? What will he do? I do not know. Will he be happy? Will he find a

A1 V1 C3 - Black Sheep Of The Family

Along came a young man with only scraps to his name to see the mysterious sage on the silver mountain. Shunned and trod upon his whole life, the young man did all that his body could with what little his mind had learned just to barely scrape by day after day. Without uttering a word, the sage clothed and fed the man, then began to show him all the trades and skills the world knew of. Most went over the young man's head, some he thought he understood but the sage knew he did not. Days passed until even the great sage was left stumped about what to do for this young man. Rarely had a problem arisen the sage could not tackle, this just needed more time and focus. The young man did not understand much, but he saw the sage was troubled and decided on his own way to help him in return. Morning came and the sun shone meekly through the blinders on the sage's face, himself sleeping uncomfortably on the chair. The young man was gone, a cup of water and a simple meal on the desk, a poorly

Literature

A1 V1 C2 - Self Portrait

Look down beyond the abyss and that is the world I belong to. Paint this picture in your mind with colors of the night, and then keep going down the darkness. These eyes of mine cannot see in the light, so take me to my true home. Look up at the sky and feel my anguish. That is the world I must escape. Turn me around and around once more, I don't need to know what is real to you. Erase me from your heart, for you must not be real to me once I go down. Look around the fading day, the lines of my blackened soul are crawling out. Soon I will be one with nothing and the story of the truth will begin. This is what I am, what I need, what I want. Look into my eyes and you can see him coming for me. Your eyes will be his when my time has come. Let me embrace my fate when I shake the devil's hand, and my world becomes real once your world ends. Paint this portrait of me, for I feel like going down for the final time.

My Bio

This has become like a repository for adjacent stuff I do, like written works and random personal art things, no real coherent theme or style. Everything is purely hobby level.

Used to do vector traces in minimalism style, usually requested by someone on 4chan /w/, sometimes full vector-traces, and wallpapers of most transparents I've made.

Also random digital art stuff.

I do some writing, mostly fiction in non-specific styles, whatever pops in my head at the time.

Been a bit, hobbies come and go, and I've found a new thing I'm currently really passionate about - audio recordings of the more dramatic variety on a YouTube channel called - Bob's Reading Corner (because, hello, I'm Bob). In particular, I've been slowly turning a piece of Warhammer 40'000 fanfiction called Tales of the Emperasque into an audio drama, I think I'm doing a fairly decent job, here's the first segment (as you start any story from the beginning): There's other stuff on there too, and to brag a bit, I think I deliver reasonably high quality dramatic readings. I try to be as meticulous if not more so with the audio as I was with what I used to post here. Speaking of, anything that might be sensible to post on deviantart has been put to the side a while ago already, and I doubt I'll get back to that in the foreseeable future. Essentially, this account functions as an archive now. Thank you for reading, and goodbye (maybe not forever, I do still check in here a few times a

Fifth batch - writing begins

0 min read

Yup, this is still going, and this one has a lot more writing in it than any drawings. My best guess is that all of it was written when I was somewhere around 14-15 years old, but could be earlier. So here we have the initial version of the solar system for this fantasy land. Now that I know a bit more about space and science (i.e. still not much) a lot of this sounds just dumb, but oh well. Still has usable parts. Introduction of the early versions of the factions (they get changed fairly significantly later on), as well as a separate transcript to put it all neatly together. Also planetside details that are unnecessarily different from wh

Fourth batch - randomness ensues

0 min read

Now that we're mostly past the random comic-page type things, now begins random stuff, quite influenced by video games etc. Was this some kind of simplistic point? Probably. My guess is this is around 2009 - 2010, but my memory of time is rather flawed regarding this stuff, so it might actually be earlier. Seems I tried to come up with some gameplay ideas as well. When the text is rather short the transcript will be in the image description, for the upcoming longer ones I will make a separate text submission. Starcraft 2 maps. Don't know if I made these with the editor, but at least this means that these and further pages were filled in a

Could you make Dia Kurosawa minimalist, but with face and blue skinned?

No, I don't really have time or motivation for these things anymore, other than the rare personal project.

Don't worry. I just wanna say you my favorite characters are Maki Nishikino, Umi Sonoda, Dia Kurosawa, Rin Shibuya and Rinko Shirokane. Love Live, The Idolmaster and BanG Dream are the best series.
