Oh, shit. We're doing stories? Writing is something I don't suck so much at. (In my humble yet biased opinion.) Here's a little "backstory" for this bugger I drew the concept for. The recently named; Hound of Lu-Shing. The story is a bit long, but it'll pass.

+ Show Spoiler +
[image loading]


Diary of Joshua Sailworth

“The Hound of Lu-Shing? Aye, I saw the thing. Might as well been the Devil walking abroad I say. Bigger than it ox it was, and meaner than the meanest thing you’ve ever seen. You heard tales of what it looks like? They’re all true I reckon. Those eyes could cut through a mountain they’ve got so much malice. I saw it doing its dirty work too, whole damn village in western Connecticut torn to shreds.”

The man spat and resumed. “Musket balls didn’t do shit, nor any other weapon turned against it, I’d wager. Maybe a cannon could. But I’d like to see them hit a target moving as fast as that Hound did. The thing crossed a whole field in a damn second. And cut through the militia faster than a sickle can slice through that as many blades of grass. Poor bastards got a volley off, but like I said, musket balls aren’t worth a damn.”

I asked the fellow if he knew why the villainous creature had struck.

“Might be the Indian’s had something to do with it. Maybe not though, doubt they’d strike this close to the coast. Might be Parliament had something to do with it. Don’t tell them I said that, though. Who knows for sure? All I can say is the Devil walked abroad that day, punishing the sinners and righteous alike. Luck was the only thing that saved me. Men more pious than I died that day.”

“The Hound was named by the Asians, what do you think of that connection?” I asked him.

“I reckon they saw it first. The Devil doesn’t care for the color of a mans skin, so long as that skin’s colder than it was before the Devil showed up. The Devil can use men to strike, and an Asian was doubtless tempted by evil, and the Hound of Lu-Shing struck there because of it. But that was nothing more than chance. And I’m sure the Hound has struck before, and has gone by other names.”

“Do you believe it was actually the Devil?”

“God, and the Devil alone can say for certain. But it’s either the Devil or some minion cooked up in the deepest depths of hell. And I’ll be damned if it’s different.”

“What if it’s something else? Something unknown even to the Devil?”

The man grimaced and glanced up at the moonlit sky. “Then we’re fucked.”

Later I discovered the fellow had been found severely mutilated not far from the spot I had interview him, at the edge of town. No one ever found out what truly happened. Though I must confess some suspicion did land on me, and I was forced to flee for my own safety. I sleep uneasy now, especially when traveling alone. I awake from horrible nightmares. And imagine what fate the man suffered.

Not the best thing I've ever written, but I whipped it up very quickly, so *shrug* it's okay.

Heh, I'm still unsure about the name "Murderer of Steve Irwin. I feel like I was being a little insensitive when naming it, but it was the first thing that came to mind.

Backstory:

Murderer of Steve Irwin

The strongest manta ray in each generation is known as Mantacus. He was chosen to fight the evil Steve who would invade the habitats of innocent animals and expose their private lives for the world to see. After he prevailed, thousands of mourners caught manta rays and executed them in revenge. To the credit of the mantas, when asked who was Mantacus, all proclaimed:

"I'M MANTACUS"

City Turtle

On the volcanic planet of Char, settlers cannot build cities in one single place as every several years volcanic eruptions will occur randomly, forcing them to move. To counteract this tendency they have created gigantic turtles via genetic engineering and built their cities on them.

However when a volcanic eruption is imminent these turtles are often sleeping, causing the poor settlers to have to dance en masse on their backs to wake them up in time to escape. This dance was later copied by Blizzard and used widely in their games.

" That's my boy, he's a very nice kid.
Don't listen to what they say on the media because my boy isn't a psychopath, you know, he just has so much love to give !

But nature tends to be bitchy, he doesn't really know what he does, you see, me and her mother are shaped like donuts, so he's used to have contact with people, we can't remove that from him. He's looking for friends, he just wants to feel connected with people.

For his 8th birthday, I organized a little party with the kids from the nighborhood. You should have seen my son, he was so happy ! Dozen of friendly children ready to have fun and form some bounds with my son.
There's nothing wrong with my boy, it's just that other kids are so squishy. You should have seen the surprised look in his eyes when he hugged his first friend.
I was horrified at first, I though it would traumatize my boy but his moral seems unbreakable. With his little voice he explained me how good it felt to really make contact with people and how warm and comforting was the red liquid dippind out of his face.
I'm like every other father, I just want him to be happy...
When the police came, we had to run, the house was getting kinda messy, specially after my son invited the local boy scouts.

We had to move to another country, I was scared that it would suck the moral out of my son, changing environment as a kid can be very destabilizing. But no, my boy carry an infinite amount of love and optimism.
When he said to me 'it's ok dad, it's just a good occasion to make new friends" I litterally cried. My kid is blessed by god himself, neither the hatred or fear from the neighborhood could stop his quest for love and friendship.

So please, people, don't hate my son, just be nice with him, give him a hug...
You don't have much choice anyway, I told my son that if someone runs away, it's just because he wants to play hide and seek, and unluckily for you my son is fast, very fast... You can't escape from love "

well we are looking for fully colored rendered pieces for the final creature picture but your more than welcome to contribute sketches (very nice zerg btw) and we will add them to a section with your name.

Very good I will add to the waiting to be finished list.

you should get photoshop or something because using mspaint doesnt justify your skills. Your good enough to throw out final creatures for us for sure just need to get those magic finishing touches on it.

I do think we should stay towards original creatures though. It's more indie-feeling for our Hot_Bot's future adventures.

New Bio/Name for Eyeball McEyebally.

+ Show Spoiler +
[image loading]


Name: Eyeball Magnus Rover Fighter

Eyeball Magnus Rover Fighter is an alien that crash landed on Mars in the year 4013, where he sustained significant injuries, including the loss of all his limbs. Remarkably, he managed to survive the harsh climate by building new appendages and an anti-gravity pad with found scraps of Mars Rovers, left behind on the planet over the previous centuries by humankind.

Currently, E-Magnus spends most of his time leading a counter-insurgency against the Rovian Empire, an ancient civilization of sentient Robots that evolved from the Earth's rovers and control 70% of the Red Planet.
