TheHiddenElephant

Yea Many Years of dA, hundreds of pictures, and every single one of them went into the Featured section.  Not the smartest plan, methinks.  I've gone and tidied up the place a bit, and my old stuff is now in the, err, 'not featured' section, whatever that happens to be called.  But now I think we need to call for a change.  The 'All' portion of a gallery needs to have page numbers!

So, I've been on another Aztec binge again, and I want to redraw the Almacian pantheon (and possibly rename them too) so that they are closer in appearance to the Aztec stuff.  Just a heads up.

And sorry about the art wait.  Scanners are a rare commodity nowadays.

Go.  Click on the Link.  It may be something of interest to you.

This is a journal specifically to go on my front page.  Gee, what a novel concept.

But more seriously, if you do happen to read this, then I do hope you at least consider giving whatever you just viewed some sort of click for support.  It greatly helps me in more ways than one, mainly in the psychological department.  I may have a scatterbrained gallery, but that doesn't mean it isn't full of good, or at least half-way decent, ideas.

And, if you feel the need to go above and beyond the call of bothering, you could drop by my name towards some of your friends.  But that really would be A + B the C o' B.

And finally, well, my worries:
I'm always concerned that I'm not getting people to click.  Just even people viewing seems like a reward in of itself, as half of the content I have winds up as typing, which nobody bothers with.  I want to be at least recognized for a few ideas, and while I may be young yet, there is no sense in me dilly-dallying.  I am devoted to what I can create, and I want that to expand beyond just a few views a day for my most recent one.  I don't want the most-favored picture to be one about dragons, I want it to be the best one, so that I actually have support to expand and extend my skills, as oppose to getting locked in a cycle of dragon pictures just because somebody thinks dragons are above all.  I have ideas, I just need those few chaps who take a good hard long look at this and can give things a chance beyond apparent skill to say, "Hey, you do good."

I have noted that occasionally, it is very useful to have some sort of sorting system fro characters.  Now, I've just thrown them together haphazardly in my figures series, popularity unknown, while my kaiju....actually receive even less.  Hrmm.  Oh well.  OC's always have more character to them than OK's, that's my style.

Anywho, down below is something that I threw together, based off of one of my friend's tables, that should help me get the long and short on characters, make them more rounded out, and hopefully make them seem more real than they normally would.  It's better than a jumble of paragraphs, at any rate.

I plan on using this for 'Character Spotlights', a drawing where I do a scene of a character.  Yes, I make a scene.  I've got one that's done to test drive this, and they're pretty important in the world's origin (thinking-wise), and they should be up relatively soon.

But, now for the table.

Other Notes:

Going through, name is obvious, alternate names can include titles like Duke or, "The Awesome" (it could happen), nicknames, or genuine alternate names for culture-spanning characters.  Species is obvious, gender is also pretty obvious, age is also pretty obvious, and so is appearance (though there is a picture).  I was a little bit hesitant to put in sexuality, seeing how pretty much none of my characters are homosexual, for fear of that being their 'one thing'.  I decided to put that in because the first subject has very little sexuality, and I will explain that as part of what they are.  The rest are pretty obvious, including general personality, their family, jobs or what they do to survive, fighting prowess (humans love fighting), and religiousness, in case you need to put down the faith of your character.

If'n you so happen to use this template, I could not care whether you tip your hat to me or not.  This is just a thing on the internet so people can be organized.
