Hey guys, so, I've had this idea for awhile of something sorta similar to those quest-style rp groups on dA, where you use an original or fan character and you're sent into another setting and can't use those setting mechanics that require setting-based skills but the environment reacts to you the way it normally would for both where you come from and where you are; sort of like Super Smash Brothers or Wreck-It Ralph.
The "victory" conditions for a quest might not necessarily require succeeding if you can pull off something entertaining enough; this was we don't encounter problems when Billy-Bob the Hedgehog has to deal with Atlantis. But your failure would still have to be creative.
Obviously you'd need a character with a setting behind it that's fairly representative of said setting; and since I'm sure some people might like the idea and lack their own setting fantastic or developed enough, that's part why I chose to allow fan characters; the other reason being that a lot of crossovers between established settings would already be hilarious as hell. Let's see the result of Pacman versus Homestuck, anyone?
And a short, partial list of settings I've considered thus far, eventually I'd like to be able to try out you guys' settings as mission locations too:
Homestuck
Classic Banjo-Kazooie AND BK Nuts and Bolts, seperately
Pikmin
Sonic the Hedgehog
Super Mario Galaxy
Brutal Legend
A small slew of arcade games like Space Invaders, Dig-Dug, Pacman, etc.
Mortasheen
Invader ZIM
Anyone interested? *u*

-mblr for those who want to keep up! It's the same as here, orima-kazooie, but I also have an artblog called paperwasteland and a quotes blog of stupid shit I say made at the suggestion of a friend titled orimaswisdom
Gimme your URLs and I'll likely follow back!

But I don't know what to fucking do here.
My scanner's unreliable and all Id have to scan is silly doodles and sketches anyhow. :/

's QUESTIONS WHICH I COMPLETELY FORGOT TO DO AND AM NOW EDITING

1. Your pet peeve?
Repetitiveness

2. Homestuck?
Yes. You knew that Usagi.

3. Anime or manga? Both or none?
Never really read a manga but I've enjoyed the little anime I've seen. Loved Gurren Lagann and Princess Jellyfish.

4. Penguins. (Just to piss orima off guys, tell me what you think about this)
*blind fury*

5. What do you think of this fabulous artist?
I'm more interested in why you didn't call *ME* fabulous. (You know what I think of Ossie's anyway.)

6.  O-o Like him? Love him? Stalk him?
Yes I know Angle you turkey.

7. This is the person I like to piss off with penguins. Say hi to him.
Hi me.

....I kinda lost some of em. :/

A lot of the reason you guys haven't been seeing a lot of art from me lately is because I haven't been uploading every little skecth and doodle as they happen; to my older watchers, did you guys like that better when I did that? And to everyone, are you interested enough in my little scrap drawings?

I gathered up a bunch of pictures for spirit day to remind everyone how beautiful and amazing reality is, (though I probably didn't end up accomplishing anything spirity) because sometimes you just need a little reminder. I don't own any of these photos, and I'm afriad I don't know who to credit, but all of it comes from my Tumblr. Oh, and fair warning; immediately after the most badass thing you've ever seen is a tarantula in a pink bow, so if you don't like spiders stop after that. (Princess tarantula there's the last picture though, so you won't miss anything.)
Happy Spirit Day!!

I just recently made an actual art Tumblr to post only the sketches and things I don't post here, so, if anyone wants to see my sketches and not my nonsense (or thinks it'd be convenient having a seperator) check out Paper Wasteland.

Aside from reblogging all the art I posted on my main Tumblr, I also posted some character concept work for a joint thing with ~Thefallenangle010000, and am preparing a big sketchdump.

Here's an example of sketch requests; I chose this because the it's got Melissa in it.

Arghlebzarglasdfghjkl; I suck at this kind of journal. XC
Anyways, yeah, this guy needs financial help and you'll sure as hell your money's worth of it. In fact, you'll get your money's worth of any amount of money you choose; he's doing it Humblr Bundle style. Pay-what-you-want commissions, guys. Get 'em while they're hot.

So my friend Usagi was complaining about not being able to listen to music and TV at the same time and made a joural about it, and then decided she was going to tag people to say other things they hate. I'm gonna go ahead and stick with first world problems because they're sure more fun to read about.

>when you have to wait for your favorite song to finish so you can listen to your other favorite song
>limited edition consumable items
>scheduled maintenance that I forget about
>when my Tumblr followers change their names so I'm left to wonder who these weird stalkers are
>when taking out my drawing stuff summons a large portion of my twelve cats

And a first world victory:
>when I'm too lazy to procrastinate right now

-and catching up on everything I owe or have deadlines for.
Anyone I promised something to, let me know because my memory is shit, but I ain't gonna let that stop me.

Current to do list:
Q6 Quest entry for #MonsterlingRealm- October 12th Missed deadline due to combination of technical difficulties and etc., will upload rough drafts when scanner is behaving
Birthday drawing for Keyla- October 13th HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEATMONKEY
Self-consolation kiriban for ~Stuffed-Friia-
<srike>October trade for #Tradestation- October 30th, I would assume</strike>
Upload some goddamn sketches instead of the monster-a-day thing- Soon Less soon, would have been on 12th but scanner problems
Draft up character stuff for #PokemonRainbow- Got some basic sketches.
Birthday gift for ~Thefallenangle010000- October 14th goddamnit Angle why is your birthday on the third deadline in a row orz Sorry I missed this buddy. You totally caught me by surprise.
Polish and upload two new Cauldron creatures - Soon.

Anything I promised you guys that I forgot?

I suck way more at punctuality/commitment than I thought, and I feel real bad about promising you guys something I couldn't deliver, so I'll still try to get a few nice, big pictures like the Turncoyote with real lorey descriptions and stuff; and as a sort of apology, I'll be dumping a ton of sketches into my scrapbook that I haven't been sharing. Would you guys like that?
I'll be working on my punctuality/deadline skills in other ways, but in the meantime, I'll try and sketch a bit each day and upload those whenever I can.
Anyways, apologies, I hope this can make up for it just a little while I work on my absolutely horrendous work effort. So, sorry I let you down.

Okay, so I've been thinking how I keep mentioning this Cauldron comic I'm making and it probably seems like a pipe dream to you guys since I have nothing to show for it that's both presentable and not spoilers. But I have been working on it; just two days ago I spent twelve hours writing up a masterlist of character bios for every named character so far, totaling at thirty-five. But of course this doesn't leave anything to show for. So I was thinking, would you guys be interested if I made a dedicated Twitter to report progress on the Cauldron comic to prove it isn't a fairy tale? If you believe me anyway, would it still be cool? Would you rather a Tumblr?
Twitter's probably better or else you'll all be experts on Cauldron before any of the comic has ever seen the light of day, the way I ramble.

EDIT: Welp, it's up.

EDIT 2: So a bit of bad news and a bit of good news. The bad news is I may not be quite as far as I thought; the good news is that I'm sure as hell not giving up on this project a second time. I need to learn some discipline and I might as well do it doing something I enjoy. So... yeah.

Oh hey, my pageviews are almost to 10,000.
If anyone can catch that I'll draw ya a colored sketch request.

Just suddenly feeling real lonely, does anybody want to chat?
I got a room called #LightbulbStew, come on in and see me!
Or just click this.

Yep, I made a chat. Anyone ever wants to chat with me, they can just hop on over, chances are I'll be lutking. Watching. Waiting.
Anyways, it's called #LightbulbStew, so come on over for a bit if you have the time, or whenever you do.

Any o' my internet pals have a Skype and a willingness to receive wholly random, out-of-the-blue calls whenever you're online?
Because I'm lonely.

The older one just takes up too much space and is beginning to bug me.

I dun been tagged! Twice!!
For two variations of the same meme, in fact; the question/fact one, you know the drill. Since I got tagged twice, I'll see if I can tag a whopping twenty-two people.

Eleven facts:
1. I have previously sketched a preliminary sketch of a sketch of a sketch of a preliminary sketch. You're not a real artist until you've done this.
2. I'm not really an atheist, but do hold a skeptical view of religion. I can easily take a comfortable middle ground and have no religious preference.
3. I tend to be fairly pessimistic; but hey, at least I'm always right or pleasantly surprised.
4. The above in turn demonstrates how I tend to be fairly optimistc, which in turn demonstrates how I tend to be fairly conflicted.
5. I own a $3000 computer program that was legally obtained. The educational discount lowers the price by more than 90%.
6. Never had a hard time weighing both sides of an issue.
7. I have a bit of a [DATA EXPUNGED].
8. I randomly speak in various accents at home. This occasionally manifests in my dA comments as well.
9. I hate you all- on opposite day.
10. Pragmatism is a good friend of mine; I get slightly irritated when people can't just use the method that makes sense.
11. You know that Cauldron comic I've been endlessly teasing about? I've got rough drafts of the first month or so of strips.

~theawesomeflee's Interrogation:
1. What's your favourite style of art?
Errr... the art kind? I like art.
If you're asking my favorite style to draw in myself, however, it's western... ish.

2. What's your favourite food?
Possibly rigatoni.

3. Favourite drink?
I like eggnog.

4. What would you do if you woke up to find a pissed off ape with needles for fur humping your door?

11. Has this tagging caused extremely uncomfortable bowel movement?
Not yet, but I'm not ruling out the possibility.

Seester's (~ElectricDidgeridoo) Interrogation:
1. Guy friends, or girl friends?
Girls. From my experience at least, the old stereotype of girls being more mature is most often true, and I'm not the kind of person who can deal with a gutterbrained simpleton.

2. Favorite pizza topping?
Pineapple.

3. Favorite flavor of icecream?
That one with the taste.

Ten questions for my victims:
1. If ham cannot be used to buy cookies, what CAN you buy with ham?
2. How is a rabbit like a trash compactor?
3. WHY??
4. What is the most rabid fandom you are a member of?
5. Do you have any sort of fear that you know is irrational, but try to convince yourself otherwise?
6. Ever played a tabletop RPG? Did you enjoy it?
7. A flavor of potato chip that they don't make, but you wish they did?
8. The really awesome food item at the store or restaurant that they inevitably stopped selling just to piss you off?
9. Weirdest combination of two animals you can think of?
10. Are you excited or at all interested in finally seeing something solid made of my Cauldron project?

So after finally getting around to reading the whole Premium Content Platform spiel, and reading that not all accounts will be immediately able to use it, ( I guess it's sort of like a random beta testing pool?) I realized that notification in my inbox saying my account was verified for premium Content Platform was pretty cool. So I'm curious how many of my pals also got one immediately, and whether or not they think they'll use it.
Speaking of which, would anyone be interested in seeing the rough drafts of the first chapter of the little Cauldron sourcebook I was working on? I could use some feedback from someone who's actually played pen-and-paper RPGs in trying to make this.

Thought someone might be interested.

I Am A: True Neutral Human Wizard (1st Level)


Ability Scores:

Strength-10

Dexterity-13

Constitution-9

Intelligence-16

Wisdom-14

Charisma-12


Alignment:
True Neutral A true neutral character does what seems to be a good idea. He doesn't feel strongly one way or the other when it comes to good vs. evil or law vs. chaos. Most true neutral characters exhibit a lack of conviction or bias rather than a commitment to neutrality. Such a character thinks of good as better than evil after all, he would rather have good neighbors and rulers than evil ones. Still, he's not personally committed to upholding good in any abstract or universal way. Some true neutral characters, on the other hand, commit themselves philosophically to neutrality. They see good, evil, law, and chaos as prejudices and dangerous extremes. They advocate the middle way of neutrality as the best, most balanced road in the long run. True neutral is the best alignment you can be because it means you act naturally, without prejudice or compulsion. However, true neutral can be a dangerous alignment when it represents apathy, indifference, and a lack of conviction.


Race:
Humans are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like.


Class:
Wizards are arcane spellcasters who depend on intensive study to create their magic. To wizards, magic is not a talent but a difficult, rewarding art. When they are prepared for battle, wizards can use their spells to devastating effect. When caught by surprise, they are vulnerable. The wizard's strength is her spells, everything else is secondary. She learns new spells as she experiments and grows in experience, and she can also learn them from other wizards. In addition, over time a wizard learns to manipulate her spells so they go farther, work better, or are improved in some other way. A wizard can call a familiar- a small, magical, animal companion that serves her. With a high Intelligence, wizards are capable of casting very high levels of spells.
