Description Skip down to the bold if you dont want the super-in depth description of how this came to be

you know, i had a weird half-dream-half-day dream...well, dont know how to explain it xD Bits of the idea came from a dream i had a bit ago and i just expanded on it in my free time.


I had a dream that I got into a terrible car crash and landed in the hospital and was shocked into a state of comatose. I was then thrown into my own mind, waking up in a completely white field of slowly spinning black wheels and gears [which is what semi-inspired the last drawing in here: ] In essence, it was my own sub-conscious/imagination.

In there I met my muse Averus, who told me that he had caused the car crash. I asked him why, and more importantly -how-, if I made him up. After that, the dream gets fuzzy and i dont remember exactly what happened.

So, here's how I flled in the gaps:

All of the characters I had ever thought of/created -- i didnt exactly create them. The universe that I thought of [you can see the lay out of it HERE: [link] ] Actually existed. Averus then chose to reveal the universe to me and then every character within that universe did the same -- when i "created a new character", they actually just let me know that they really existed. Whenever i thought of a new piece of background information or a new plot for said character, it was actually just that character telling me what happened in their lives. I figured that everyone had this power, this sort of telepathic connections to these universes, and everyone had a choice how to express these "true ideas" through drawing or writing, or maybe they wouldn't share them at all. In essence, all of us are just sort of...transcribers -- to tell their stories to our world.

I hope i didn;t lose anyone with all of that LOL. its hard to explain. alsoooo, dont get the idea that i believe this is actually how life works LMAO. which, re-reading this, it sounds like thats what im saying. but this is just the set up for the story/ video game plot im about to tell you.

Now, if you understand that, lets move on.

I asked Averus how/why that was possible. He told me the same exact thing I explained to you before. Apparently, the boundaries that separated my mind to the universe i was connected to was growing dangerously thin, so thin that Averus was able to affect our world and cause the car crash that shocked me into my own mind -- or really, it shocked me into the universe I was connected to. He explained that he had to do so in order to warn me of a terrible threat. Skye had grown aware of the fact that the said boundaries were growing thin, and was using the opportunity to break his way into our world.

Though, in order to do that, he had to enter the gate that lead into the fifth plane, Rashia, to get to the gate that lead to [what I've dubbed] the Monochrome Clock Works [or the giant white space with the black gears that me and Averus stood in], to get to the gate that lead out into our world that only appeared when the boundaries grew thin. Unfortunately for Skye though, Averus used up the last of his power to chain up the gate that lead into the clock works from Rashia.

Annoyed by this, Skye could only bide his time until Averus' power faded, thus breaking the chains and allowing Skye to enter. In his free time, he began a total conquest over the seasons plane and the world of the asleep, making sure to secure those gates to make sure that no one could enter the fourth plane -- or his world -- known simply as "the other world".

The key for the world of the asleep's gate was hidden in seasons plane, and the season's planes key was hidden in the world of the asleep Needing both keys to enter any gate that lead into the Other World was to be a fail-safe plan with the above design, but --what Skye didn't know is that Averus had nabbed the key that unlocked the Season's plane gate before Skye had sealed it off completely.

After all of this is explained, Averus hands me the key to the seasons plane and tells me i have to go and find the keeper of the key, destroy him/her/it, go to the other world, do the same, enter the other world through either gate and put a stop to Skye's plans before its too late. Of course, picking up help from any major ocs i meet along the way. Skye's minions which range from little inky, tary blobs with eyes to iron-clad soliders to behemoth shadow dragons litter all three worlds that My crew and me have to go through and fight. [i kind of imagine it a tales of symphonia/the abyss/vesperia game play -- you run into shadowy monsters on the world map and then get thrown into a battle with a party of 4-6 characters against how many enemies etc etc. you know what i mean if youve played the games]

theres a ton moer twists and turns that i thought of, but...i think i've rambled on enough for now xD; I can imagine the end of the game/story hitting a climactic final battle of me and my chars fighting a boss battle between skye in the Monochrome Clock Works, just feet away from the gate that leads to our world thats now completely free to enter with Averus' power drained, but my and my guys.gals pull through and defeat him, sending skye into the depths of the Clock Works forever. [again, see the last picture here: ] I wake up from the coma im in in our world, about...probably a week or so later. I figure time in that universe would flow differently than ours. Relieved its all over, i plan to tell the world one day about what happened, probably through a "fantasy fiction" novel. I look over out of the window to see the sun setting, filling the room with an orange glow. On a branch of a tree that rests right by the window sits a single crow with white eyes that seem like their spinning and dripping. With a shrieking caw it flies off in a flurry or inky feathers and the screen cuts to black, playing the credits, and making the player second guess themselves as to if Skye really got out into our world in the end -- open end for a possible equal? Probably not.

and jesus christ, if you read all of this and...even if you only half understood, I LOVE YOU. SO MUCH.

NOW HERE'S THE LAME-O SHORT VERSION:

Above is a mock-up of one of those concept art pictures where you see a bunch of the video games characters all piled up together in one epic thing with the main character all like "FJSDK RAWR" and then head shots of some of the supporting characters branching out somehow.

Did....Did i mention that i have a pastel rainbow arm blade as a weapon LOL. sheeooot, all of those colors would just slice away at Skye's minions.

Oh -- also, forgot to mention. the "MAD WORLD" sign down is a tribute to a very old project of mine that had a similar concept...ish. I still use the orange horns and smiley face symbol a lot.

This sounds like it would make an amazing video game! c:
You could defiantly use the designs you created in Dumparooski for the different areas, especially the first one where you have the Other World buildings. Also, to make the game play longer, you could go around to the different areas where the OCs that will help you are located and convince them to join your group by battling with them. I can totally see your image of Vance in Dumparooski as the picture that will flash on screen before you battle him.

One more thing xDDD After the screen cuts to black at the end of the game, I think it should slowly light up and show the image of Skye climbing out of those tar monsters that's located in the same dump I've been referring to. That way the game is open for a sequel because it shows that Skye isn't totally defeated c:

Dude. i totally was thinking of that xD I had the idea that the first two or three would join you automatically in the beginning and be constant, main, important characters to help you on your way. the rest you had to do some quest for or battle to get them to join. Also, after defeating mini-bosses, you could go back and fight them again in order to persuade them to join your side -- but theyd be totally stronger of an opponent the second time you fight them

and FFFFFF. I. love. that. idea oAo its like, the tar bird gets you wondering just exactly what happened to him, but seeing him climbing out and all thatd, it be like "FFFF MOTHER OF GOD."

XAmayasxNightsxRainX In reply to AishaxNekox [2011-05-01 18:16:19 +0000 UTC]

The idea of fighting the mini-bosses a second time to get them to join you is also really great xDDD You'd definitely need them to beat Skye at the epic showdown in Monochrome Clock Works.

Yeah, I can see Rakshasa (at least, I think that's him. The boy with orange and black hair and the mask is the one I'm referring to) and the blond-haired boy with the green scarf who's next you (I don't know his name OTL) being the ones who automatically join the group because they look weaker, and everyone else being the ones you'd have to battle/do quests for.

I'm glad you like the idea I'm really wanting this to be a video game now xD

Tiffero In reply to ??? [2011-05-01 17:50:25 +0000 UTC]

Man, I totally know what you mean! Like, if you created (or seemed to think that you did XD) then they all have to become part of reality and just go somewhere. I mean, it just doesn't feel right to your mind- that they can't NOT be real. I kinda have the same thoughts on it- I feel whenever I create or make something- they go to an unknown world or planet not of my knowing, and they just- are real and exist there. So- thus two worlds. ( I hope I thought your words out right) Ahah =u=

"Ho.ly. Crap." Was my first reaction to reading the first part. xD; I literally said it out loud. That seriously blew my mind. That'd be pretty awesome if that really were the case about our characters. Also kind of creepy to me with them being real and all and them telling you what goes on. Well...creepy at first but then 5 seconds later epic. Lol.

This sounds like a really amazing game that'd I could get into. I mean really, I just got a ds like maybe two weeks ago and before that I haven't played video games in years. x3 This game just might have me hooked, lol. Also, you ma'am are amazing for being able to have dreams about your OCs and your fantasy worlds that you have. I'm jelly. I wish I could do that. >:[ Oh what havoc I would make in my fantasy land if I could access it. <3

Thanks for sharing with everyone!

But like..that entire concept, of people not really imagining these things, but just..seeing them, I'vehadthatformonths. I've never been able to describe it though. @_@

The drawing is really amazing too, and the entire idea, it seems rather...real. It could easily turn into a novel, videogame, comic, or all of those if you want it to I think.

I just read all of this. And I am really just in total awe; it is such an amazing concept and would make such a completely awesome and cool video game with a few more twists.
I had to re-read a few rows though when I was like "what?" and then I was like "oohhhh!"
But just every concept - the Clock Works forever, the plotline, the explanation of why Skye is doing this and that and the different worlds.
And the BEGINNING, of the concept that your "Original Characters" in fact exist and tell you their story, just like other characters tell other people their stories.

It sends me into a spiraling string of thoughts, tilting between believing one would be mad by believing this and it actually being reality.
I am almost tempted to draw something related to this theme, of course giving you cred for the idea xD

But while I've been talking about the concept I musn't forget to praise the artwork. Stunning as always, fabulous character and I praise you for the patience of drawing so many characters in a single piece

Allover - This is completely stunning. I love the idea and I would be thrilled if I saw this cover art in a video game store for this very game/story/movie.
