T2E is nearing completion anyways

late eagle
#

Kay thank youšŸ‘

dull heart
#

Just has to beat the sprites

#

He's got time

pseudo vector
#

i think doze has heard T2E and how far along it is

white aurora
#

boss rush is getting new music?

subtle pagoda
#

guys

#

i did not like encore tier 1

white aurora
#

as an option

pseudo vector
#

i know T1E was pretty divisive from what i recall

subtle pagoda
dull heart
white aurora
#

oh

#

that's cool :3

subtle pagoda
#

normal then encore

#

im pretty sure

dull heart
#

I could find it ofc

azure oak
#

i did like T1E

pseudo vector
#

its in the music channel

subtle pagoda
#

i did not like T1E because it was completely different than tier 1

white aurora
#

i like the regular boss rush music a lot so i'm prob gonna like the encore tracks :3

subtle pagoda
#

will T2E be completely different from tier 2

pseudo vector
#

T1E is already out there

#

yes

subtle pagoda
#

aw

pseudo vector
#

but i think you'll like it a lot more

subtle pagoda
#

i like the guitar parts

thorny glacier
#

good riddance

subtle pagoda
#

please tell me you kept the guitar parts

pseudo vector
#

i'd argue its probably gonna be my best song so far

#

it has a sick guitar solo

mystic eagle
#

I'm intrigued

subtle pagoda
#

also i think T1E didnt get as much views as all the other themes was because

#

when i clicked on the video i js kept thinking

#

what the fuck is encore

pseudo vector
#

idk i just thought encore sounded cool

subtle pagoda
#

if you care about views

Funny Story 15: The encore trilogy of bonuses begins here, and the future of The Gods and The Mechanic has shifted.
Throughout 2024, I had a nagging feeling in the back of my mind regarding the first 3 tiers of Boss Rush. They weren't up to my modern standards and felt ...

ā–¶ Play video
subtle pagoda
#

also probably because of the 'calamity mod music EXTRA' making it sound like an addon

#

and people care about calamity base

#

more than everything

wooden blade
#

The choral part of the music still makes me ascend to heaven

subtle pagoda
#

thats if you care about views though

wooden blade
#

It's so good

pseudo vector
#

i mean considering its being implemented i could change the title

wooden blade
#

"tier 1 boss rush but peak'

subtle pagoda
#

you could clarify what encore mix is

#

i mean i already know what it is

#

i just mean in the description or comments or something

pseudo vector
#

when i release T2E i can go into better detail considering i have a clearer vision

stone fiber
#

What content?

pseudo vector
#

Terraria Calamity Mod Music - "Ensemble of Fools (Encore Mix)" - Alt Theme of Boss Rush Tier 1
is a potential new title (if it fits within the character limit)

late eagle
#

This looks like it's going to be cool but there's going to be some way to "lock" the tracks?

pseudo vector
#

we could add that

dusk bronze
pseudo vector
#

good suggestion

subtle pagoda
#

ayyyy

pseudo vector
#

like "hey do you just want the encore mixes, just the ogs or both switching back and forth with each attempt"

fathom girder
#

Could also mention in the video's description how exactly the encores will work ingame

#

You've got a few options here

late eagle
stone fiber
#

Why though? They can just be retiered

dusk bronze
#

speaking of retiers is the gss being post provi still happening

late eagle
#

Like I die when the encores are playing, but then I get gud and win with the og song's but I want to win with the encore mixes GRAAAAHHH

subtle pagoda
#

whats gss

dusk bronze
#

great sand shark

subtle pagoda
#

why are so much people talking about it 😭

#

i thought it was some boss i forgot

dusk bronze
#

resprite in sso p2

#

and rework

dull heart
#

Idk if it's happening or not I've just never heard it

late eagle
dull heart
#

It's very possible it's been talked about before I was a dev

pseudo vector
dusk bronze
#

ur new dev right
makes sense

#

it was planned even before 22 i think

pseudo vector
#

even though those aren’t ingame

dull heart
dusk bronze
#

it wasn't killed during 22

dull heart
#

if it wasn't specifically kept alive

#

it likely died

thorny glacier
#

fuck

dull heart
#

post plant is a little odd place for snadstorm i agree

thorny glacier
#

No embeds

#

that was meant to be a link to second cal album

#

not sure how many are aware of its existence

pseudo vector
#

byeah

#

i will embed

dusk bronze
#

the savior

thorny glacier
pseudo vector
#

but yeah heartplusup, tyeski and i talked a couple weeks back and we agreed to merged my ā€œthe gods and the mechanicā€ album into ā€œthe legend of a cruel worldā€

#

so its all in one place

#

so album 2 is now 14 songs bigger as a result

vivid hemlock
dusk bronze
#

look i wasn't around in 2023 or 2024

thorny glacier
#

i thought maybe 20 to 22 tracks but hell nah

dusk bronze
#

legend was originally 45

thorny glacier
#

it’s really gonna be huge

pseudo vector
#

legend is now uhhhhh

#

57 songs

dusk bronze
#

lmao

thorny glacier
#

terror

pseudo vector
#

and i’ve now got just over 20 songs that i’ll be working on

#

8 of which are finished

#

a good chunk of which that i can’t really work on yet due to associated content not really being properly conceptualised yet or whatever

viral merlin
#

CD should pull The Third Sanctuary for one of the future OST pieces

pseudo vector
#

i mean i had the idea to make T3E encore crazy fucking brutal

#

and use weird time signatures

viral merlin
#

I think it would fit really nicely for the distortion

pseudo vector
#

but there’s a pair of songs i’m gonna make later on that can definitely take some influence from the sanctuary tracks from deltarune

viral merlin
#

Hell yeah

#

Peak stacked on peak

stone fiber
#

Brimbucks CalWheeze

#

Damn I just checked rems and it never even had a resprite when I was 100% sure that it did
I'm not going crazy I swear suffering

lean relic
stone fiber
#

I don't get it

#

Who?

dusk bronze
#

google midra

#

also why do you do this thing where you spam chat with questions about convos from hours/days ago

stone fiber
#

Agreed HahaYes
Too bad they've never made another game XD

Goozma PensiveCore

subtle pagoda
#

dude do you just scroll the channel all day looking for something to reply to wires

lapis oak
#

Ye that is unusual

subtle pagoda
#

he's gonna respond to this 4 days later XD

native thistle
#

Fish

dusk bronze
#

true

subtle pagoda
#

okay guys whats the best designed cal boss

#

except for calamitas

native thistle
#

That wasn't even going to be my answer XD

#

Also, designed in terms of what? Aesthetic? Gameplay?

subtle pagoda
#

everything

native thistle
#

providence

subtle pagoda
#

outdated sprite, you're WRONG

native thistle
#

Nuh uh

#

It's the best old spring design we have currently, and the fight is always challenging for me. And not in a bad way.

#

I really don't think it needs a resprite

#

Tho it probably will at some point

subtle pagoda
#

honestly fair

#

calamitas clears though

#

your opinion is wrong

native thistle
#

Wow who would have guessed

dull heart
#

providence is definitely the best designed boss in calamity overall

#

Scal has more hype and aura though

hushed hazel
#

type shit

native thistle
#

Real and true

thorny glacier
subtle pagoda
#

i dont like the cocoon attack sprites though

#

for some reason

#

i dont know

native thistle
#

Providence is also one of the only boss AI I actually like

celest bobcat
native thistle
#

I would really like to say exo mechs are my favorite, but the fight is so........meh, that I can't say I like it overall

#

Then the theme is ready and the fight is reworked (if it ever will), then I'll probably say exo mechs

subtle pagoda
#

its this boss but harder

mystic eagle
subtle pagoda
#

there are so many

mystic eagle
#

Yet it still looks so unique it may aswell be

native thistle
#

The other boss AI I really like is also plague bringer, even tho it's just a harder queen bee.

celest bobcat
dull heart
#

scal is the single largest example of "this boss but harder"

subtle pagoda
#

cal clone is easier scal

pseudo vector
native thistle
#

Hell ye

flat folio
#

The evil nefarious exo mechs rework...

prisma cipher
#

Wtf spoilers…

high scaffold
#

Any new spoilers?

native thistle
#

I ate lunch, that's your spoilers for the day

prisma cipher
#

Me 2

#

I ate some chicken

#

With quinoa (bleh)

earnest jewel
#

Here's a spoiler, the bad guy is named Yharim.

dusk bronze
#

no way

pseudo vector
earnest jewel
#

Hopefully not into a fiasco, so whoever's in charge should take plenty of siestas.

viral merlin
#

Exo mechs but Ares starts to actually square up and tries to knock your lights out

desert path
thorny glacier
#

Exo mechs but Twins kamehameha you in nameless deity’s nebula gigabeam

earnest jewel
#

Apollo and Artemis are now slightly further away making them hard to see properly.

flat folio
pseudo vector
#

now that i think of it i think my biggest gripe with current exos is visibility

#

its basically projectile soup and they're all really small and hard to see

desert path
#

Exo mechs now physically burn out your screen

flat folio
#

The amount of things going on definitely contributes to that
I know Moonburn is kinda meh on the sound design as well because it all melts together into Noise once there's more than one mech present

pseudo vector
#

that's a fair observation

dusk bronze
#

it feels like you almost never intentionally dodge anything, the 7 thousand projectiles just miss you by chance

ocean jetty
#

very cool!

viral merlin
pseudo vector
#

once i'm done with the theme and we get to overhauling them, i do have my fair share of ideas for them to make the fight more interesting

ocean jetty
#

hi cd

viral merlin
#

I hope the background gets changed

pseudo vector
#

hi tyrant

ocean jetty
#

wyd brother

flat folio
#

It's a tricky proposition when you want to have four bosses attacking at once
That's the reason why WotM only has a single mayhem attack, tbh. It was the only one I could come up with that actually worked decent-ish. Past experiments were either empty gameplay-wise or way too much information to process

pseudo vector
#

not much

ocean jetty
#

fair nuff

late eagle
#

Omg John Vcmm In spoiler talk

pseudo vector
#

my biggest contribution to the first at this point is the chain lightning ball attack lol

#

which i'm pretty sure is one of the attacks that pisses people off the most

ocean jetty
#

correct

#

blow up

dusk bronze
#

yeah fuck that attack

brave star
#

Will draedon have new dialogue for rematches and changing the existing ones up

ocean jetty
#

whats ur goddamned problem cd why would u do that to us

#

smh

pseudo vector
#

idk i thought it was a cool idea at the time
i just wish it was better executed lol

summer shore
#

It's a cool idea

For a boss maybe not but for a weapon yes

flat folio
#

It's like some king of Jailer

ocean jetty
#

true...

summer shore
#

I love jailor I just wish it uses the same lightning as ares

flat folio
#

I think the Ares connector lightning is a bit dated looking ngl

pearl sentinel
dull heart
#

jailor is so peak

ocean jetty
#

exo mechs rework .,.,,,

pseudo vector
#

the strands of lightning are really thin, and the lightning balls are really small lol

dull heart
#

i don't think they should be bigger in the current state of exos

viral merlin
#

exo mechs need more shockwaves and fart effects on the screen, its not messy enough

dull heart
#

visibility is hard enough for other things

pseudo vector
#

i think i saw WOTM do the idea a lot better with the giant ball between all 4 arms

summer shore
#

Thanatos should have heat distortion

ocean jetty
#

i think the exo mechs should have more yellow paint on them maybe thatll help

summer shore
#

make it worse

ocean jetty
#

šŸ‘

dull heart
#

Thanatos should do what AS did in my worm animation demo

#

that should be THanos

summer shore
#

Wiggler

dull heart
#

thanatos coils you and just obliterates you

flat folio
#

In WotM he can do that to get the necessary four tesla cannons

#

But in base Cal he just has the existing cannon set at all time (albeit rotated around sometimes)

pseudo vector
#

yeah

dull heart
#

I think it would be cool to give him a fifth Photon Ripper arm

pseudo vector
#

honestly the switching cannons works better for clarity and knowing whats coming next

dusk bronze
#

the nefarious 102 frame gauss nuke hand:

summer shore
subtle pagoda
#

i'd love if exo mechs were just

summer shore
#

The one in infernum is Very Silly

dull heart
#

he would photon rip

ocean jetty
#

-# just integrate wotm into cal. clueless

subtle pagoda
#

chaotic visual clarity

dull heart
#

infernum uses Phaseslayer, doesn't it

dusk bronze
#

yuh

summer shore
#

I think it used to use ripper or smth

pseudo vector
#

beyblade ares my beloved

flat folio
#

Infernum used to use photon rippers a long time ago
They kinda just Launched Forward and it was realy funny looking

summer shore
#

Yea

dull heart
#

ah

ocean jetty
#

do you think hes an attack type or defense type cd

pseudo vector
#

ares?

ocean jetty
#

yeah

pseudo vector
#

uhhhhh

#

not sure

summer shore
#

Ares is The attack type

dull heart
#

i feel like

ocean jetty
#

true

summer shore
#

Thanatos is defense twins are movement

dull heart
#

I need a better worm animation system

ocean jetty
dull heart
#

the one I have now is very much workable but I feel like it could be significantly better

#

I just don't know how

summer shore
#

no I think ares fits very well as the giga offensive oneb

pseudo vector
summer shore
#

bro has at least 5 different weapons

#

All the other mechs have like 2 attacks at most

fringe quiver
#

I'd say Thanatos is endurance/defense, Twins are mobility/speed and Ares is the just Kill People Attack Murder one

ocean jetty
#

LOL

dusk bronze
#

true

dull heart
#

yeah

#

Ares is offensive, Thanatos defense, twins mobility

#

I'd say

flat folio
hushed hazel
#

i mean yeah ares is ex warcrimeinator prime

ocean jetty
#

i need an exomechs summon i need them to fight for me

#

smh

fringe quiver
#

I said Thanatos twice by accident

#

šŸ„€

dull heart
fringe quiver
#

but yeah like

dull heart
#

just like circle it at a constant rate

fringe quiver
#

Ares is literally an upgraded version of SPrime

who is the war crimeinator 200

summer shore
pseudo vector
#

can't wait to make a multi-phase exo theme to make it work with how many mechs are left alive

dusk bronze
#

ADAPTIVE MUSIC RAHHHHHHHH

dull heart
#

Every mech with it's own theme that overlap together would be so cool

pseudo vector
#

that's a ton of work tho

dull heart
#

But also probably difficult both to write and code

pseudo vector
#

yeah

dull heart
#

Thanos beam

arctic patrol
#

this is

ocean jetty
#

thanatos blast

arctic patrol
#

beautiful

#

its thanos bite

summer shore
#

thanos grabs you with the mandibles and just blasts you

#

Point blank

ocean jetty
#

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAM

arctic patrol
#

i would love it if AS curled around me

dull heart
#

Uh

ocean jetty
summer shore
#

Fren

pseudo vector
#

thanatos circles around you and fires lasers from its segments like the final sans attack or some shit

dull heart
#

Like uh

ocean jetty
dull heart
#

Like uh

#

Invoked...

arctic patrol
#

he gets flustered when you get close

#

so he has to get that out

#

as a beam

dull heart
#

invoked stargod...

arctic patrol
summer shore
#

Tsunatos

ocean jetty
#

after ares is destroyed the cannons should linger and fire beams like gaster blasters

arctic patrol
#

give him a good kiss on the cheeks

summer shore
#

the cannons now orbit thanatos instead of ares after ares dies

ocean jetty
#

superblast.....

arctic patrol
#

imagine killing 1 mech makes the next 2 even stronger

summer shore
#

Worm with 4 arms

arctic patrol
#

2 eyes each with 2 hands

flat folio
dull heart
#

new exo fight is just

arctic patrol
#

and a very weird tail

dull heart
#

twins -> ares -> Thanatos always

arctic patrol
#

oh?

ocean jetty
dull heart
#

with Thanatos absorbing the fallen mechs

ocean jetty
#

cause that look dumb as shit

summer shore
ocean jetty
dull heart
#

and then using Thanos Ohio Blender Beam Dash

arctic patrol
#

thats bullshit

#

who's gonna survive that

ocean jetty
#

thanatos is mangle.......

arctic patrol
#

i dont play dark souls to remember each safe pixel of that move

fringe quiver
#

I think Ares should be the final one tbh
It feels right

ocean jetty
#

holy CRAP guys.....

fringe quiver
#

Ares feels like the "Leader" if that makes sense

arctic patrol
#

i mean he is named after ares

flat folio
#

The final boss is Draedon himself

arctic patrol
#

the god of war

dull heart
#

Thanatos is named after the god of death

arctic patrol
#

well fuck death

dull heart
#

so that's why being last and absorbing the dead other ones

#

would make sense

arctic patrol
#

actually

summer shore
#

Thanatos mode

arctic patrol
#

that makes sense

dull heart
#

Or alternatively

arctic patrol
#

what about ares and the other

dull heart
#

Do reverse mech boss order

arctic patrol
#

anything special?

dull heart
#

Ares -> twins -> thanatos

flat folio
#

XB-10 Zeus materializes out of thin air

dull heart
#

Mirror of the "intended"
destroyer -> twins -> prime

arctic patrol
#

whats that supposed to be tho, how's the fight gonna go

dull heart
#

(destroyer being killed is downedMechBoss1 in the code)

summer shore
#

Are they really gonna lock exos to only one route

arctic patrol
#

it removes the need of asking which one to do first

dull heart
#

exos pacifist route

arctic patrol
pseudo vector
#

i still love how fucking insane the mega death beam is on WOTM

summer shore
#

Ok well the asking part is cool.....

arctic patrol
#

not for me man

pseudo vector
#

base cal looks wimpy in comparison bro

arctic patrol
#

i always go ares

dull heart
#

@ shayy exos pacifist vs genocide vs neutral routes

flat folio
#

Human
I remember you're neutrals

ocean jetty
#

ares dies --> gauss nuke cannon and plasma cannon are given to apollo, laser cannon and telsa cannon are given to artemis XD

#

balanced and fair!

arctic patrol
#

what if a&a die

arctic patrol
#

what happens next

dull heart
#

And Apollo would have tesla

ocean jetty
#

they wouldnt retain the arms though

#

because it looks stupid

#

they could magentically be attached to their wings

arctic patrol
#

does thanatos get like a whole ass body

#

like mechdusa

dull heart
arctic patrol
#

oh

flat folio
arctic patrol
#

so basically he's gonna be zooming

dull heart
#

Thanatos with mounted cannons

ocean jetty
#

the perfect machine...

dull heart
#

Wait

arctic patrol
#

he's gonna get zoomies

#

like cats

#

L

dull heart
#

Why do we not have a worm projectile boss with ACTUAL moving cannons

#

like

#

???

ocean jetty
#

not too sure

#

double it and give it to thanatos

arctic patrol
#

how you gonna do that

dull heart
#

if we're gonna have projectiles at least make it cool

#

I haven't seen a worm with mounted cannon in tmod at all before idt

arctic patrol
#

not even in mor?

ocean jetty
#

whats stopping us from being the first

dull heart
#

you say that like I've seen mor

arctic patrol
#

a worm with a mounted cannon will look silly

#

not scary

dull heart
#

not true

arctic patrol
#

untill it shoots at you, then it will be scary

fringe quiver
dull heart
#

I need an alt account so I can post ideas and things that aren't cal without people going "is this real" bc they didn't ews context

ocean jetty
#

im NOT gonna lie

fringe quiver
#

I think it's just to do with how Ares has by far the most menacing (And really just best tbh) design out of all of them

arctic patrol
#

mount a railcannon on dog

#

then he will actually be able to do something for once

fringe quiver
#

Not to mention that we already get DoG shortly before it as the big post ml worm boss

#

So getting more of a spotlight on yet another one feels odd

#

I'm a bit skeptical on the idea of Thanatos being the last one tbh but i see the argument being made for it

#

Unsure of how i feel, for now i think i'd probably still prefer Ares

ocean jetty
#

what could you apply to ares if he were to be the last one, though?

arctic patrol
#

i only love ares for the eva references

dull heart
#

blender beam from every hand

arctic patrol
#

a top 3 of mine ech

arctic patrol
fringe quiver
#

swords !!! trust...
He has clear samurai inspo on his design yet he dosen't have any cool energy swords smh...

because why the fuck not

dull heart
#

no swords

Truth !

arctic patrol

thats the most american thing i've everfuckingseen

and i somehow love it

ive no embed perms

but you know it is there.

arctic patrol
#

krill issue

#

lol

dull heart
#

swords is so basic

flat folio
dull heart
#

ares should

arctic patrol
#

what about

#

a scythe

ocean jetty
#

consider the beyblade potential, though

dull heart
#

ares should wield a rope dart

arctic patrol
#

that would make for a fun synergy weapon with thanatos

fringe quiver
#

I just think him not having some sort of melee blade weapon given the clear samurai inspiration on his design has always been Unusual to me

lapis oak
#

Polterghast will have sword, Yharim will have sword

fringe quiver
#

Like that's like their whole thing

lapis oak
#

give Ares something else

dull heart
#

Thanatos should have a scythe

arctic patrol
#

actually why the fuck dont you do boss synergy

dull heart
#

Ares weapon

#

Should be thanatos

#

grab Thanatos and baseball bat the twins

arctic patrol
#

hell yea

#

thats what i am talking about!!

flat folio
#

Pong boss

arctic patrol
#

i would love for a synergy ult move or something

ocean jetty
#

triple ultra omega death blast

arctic patrol
#

yea i can tell

#

having to do like

#

3 different synergies (4 if you count 3 mech phase) is quite tedious

flat folio
#

Having seen the base Exo Mech code
It'd be kinda annoying to insert proper synergy into there Sylv_Derp
It'd be possible ofc but the foundation is shaky and the internals would not be pretty afterwards

arctic patrol
#

if it was doable

#

it would be quite amazing and something fresh, but considering the circumstances

#

i doubt anything of some sort will see the light of day

flat folio
#

It is definitely possible, but if I were tasked with doing it I'd put "This absolutely needs to be refactored first" as a prerequisite to make the process simpler

ocean jetty

really?

ngl thanatos is my favorite exo mech

ares is like the second coolest one

it also is like

the most wasted potential of all 3 though

at least in the fight ares is the most invasive and annoying

ocean jetty

thanatos is just an obsctruction that occasionally barrages you with lasers

i should make thanatos good

thantaos ain't even a real obstruction usually

he has Fabsol Worm Syndrome

where they just leave for half the fight

Give Thanatos' lasers the superpredictiveness utility method obviously

pretty sure new DS is chunkier than thanatos too

this loses the cool mandible though agh

all this guy does btw ^

why is the tail the vulnerable section in p1 but changes in p2

I've done whole ass dissection of how well this fits DoG back when it was first posted here lmao

I see the vanity angle, but it's strange to image a serpent with legs.

"Serpent" is often used to just refer to reptiles in prose tbf

earnest jewel
#

Well sorry we don't get a lot of snakes around here.

fringe quiver
#

But anyways

  1. The fact it's a mishmash of various different traits belonging to real animals yet is hardly able to be cohesively attached to looking like any particular animal - An attempt to blend in with the mundane organisms of earth, yet being clearly discernible as Not That. A perfect replica of DoG's nature as a deceitful liar, yet one who you can always tell isn't being honest - Even if you can't pinpoint what exactly his actual goals are.
  2. The fact it's got a picturesque, human face hiding a toothy, monstruous maw. Do i need to explain this one?
  3. The almost somewhat Draconic appearance, something that would be done to of course, nudge Yharim into joining his side. It'd fit perfectly with the already established way DoG showed up too: He's far too convenient. A mysterious being that comes out of nowhere, who conveniently can kill gods and absorb their energy right as Yharim is going on a a crusade to kill gods and is in need of something to dispose of their essence? Add "Conveniently looks like a dragon, which Yharim idolizes" to that and it fits like a glove
earnest jewel
#

Yeah I understand, though there is the irony of having an eye on it's back.

fringe quiver
#

guys the pinterest creature is more DoG than half of the dog designs ive seen we need to lock in dude

#

calamity mod community make a dog design that fits him as a character and isnt just a beeg space worm and my life is yours

earnest jewel
#

I mean, I recall it being proposed that his Cosmilite armour is more so ceremonial over functional, because he's arrogant and cares more about his image then anything.

arctic cliff
#

IMO i think i just like him as a big monstrous gluttonous dude

fringe quiver
#

Not to say that in regards to speciically this scenario

#

but like

arctic cliff
#

the p2 design i posted would work better in the context of a p1 design, only issue is that i havent been able to even start the design properly

fringe quiver
#

as a whole

arctic cliff
#

the only thing i know for certain however is that p1 is going to have multiple subphases and will be armored. the subphases are shown by the armor slowly getting ripped apart by your constant attacks

I get what you mean. Extradimensional serpents with god complexes can be hard to design for.

I'm good at thinking about the theorics of design but i'm just not as good as executing them due to my lack of skill in actually drawing
Trying to get better at taht stuff though, learning shading and form and whatnot

practice makes perfect etc etc

earnest jewel
#

Yeah you just gotta practice. I should probably be doing that too, but I try to do a lot of things, can only actually do one at a time.

I became a decent coder and cook in like a year from having very little prior experience so i'm confident i can become a decent artist in due time

*dreadon tried to instrumentalize and corrupt the mighty jungle dragon and use him for his own good.

As he invaded the jungle, he set everything on fire, a reckless march build on the scorching remains of innoncent jungle critters.

Yharon, who tried to evade the confrontation, sensing dreadons Plans to convert and corrupt him, turned against his original Plans.
He looked over his home, nothing but fire and ashes seemed left, and in an outrage of anger he let go of a spine freezing Roar - the earth was shaking.

He expands his mighty wings, tears shedding from his eyes.*

#

*yharon Rose up to the sky, throning over the fires and the thick grey clouds fed by everything he had called his home, his mother.

As he fixates his eyes on the enemys army not too far apart, he contracts his own claws so hard that he starts to bleed.
All sanity vanishes from his eyes.*

*dreadon throning in his chair, levitating, showing no reaction to yharons outburst of anger.
And as dreadons remains so calm, his nanobots are already entering yharons body.

Yharons rises higher, he begins to spin rapidly, a fiery dance summoning the flames and the anger of the jungle itself.

Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, no matter the cost, yharon wants to see his enemys burn.

And as fire rains down from the sky, feeding on dreadons army, yharim lets out another roar, initiating a lightning fast nosedive towards draedon.*
