Greetings to the world.

Greetings to you as well, Erick.

I am about to show my stuff for the first time.  I
have a story prepared close to Ikros in size but I think I'll cut it down a
bit.  I have creations prepared for it.  I really need a home for it.  I've
applied for a spot on ozbricks, but I've gotten no reply.  Do you think they
require me to have an exsisting site so they can see what's going to be
there?  No more talky talky.  Let's get to the main course.  So Let me try
to sum up the story in a sentence or nine....

The country of Valis (subject to name change) is ruled by King Rassellon.
He is a peaceful King and after a long period of war has finally befriended
the surrounding nations.  His two brave generals are responsible for the
peace.  They return home, to be accused of treason and sentenced to death.
They escape, and run.  They're friends try to find them.  All are presumed
dead.  Five years later, villagers are ruthlessly slaughtered.  Hilarity
ensues...  and now we que the music... bah bah, WAH WAH, bah bah.... and so on.

Sounds like a good start to me, can't wait to see it all put together.

The story starts there.  I've written the prologue but I haven't decided if
I'll finalize it, because that's pretty much the jist of it right there.  My
story is heavly influence by Final Fantasy.  Mostly the second (japan #4).
Also, Willow has been an all time favorite, and recently Record of Lodoss
-pick up the dvd set if you haven't seen it :)   It's been written for
someone like me to enjoy, so language may be an issue.  If you have a
problem with that, I can put warnings on the specific chapters.  The
following pics are teasers, I don't plan on using these in the story (horrid
lighting and backgrounds).  They also don't really show any events from the
story.  They're just money shots.  Here we go...


Square's Final Fantasy series, Willow, and Record of Lodoss War have also been
large sources of inspiration for me.  Then again, I tend to look at everything
as possible inspiration, whether or not I actually use the ideas I get is a
totally different animal.

That's all the photoshopping for now.

Nice work.  Your practice has served you well young jedi.  I don't know if
anyone has ever used oars as props before, but I have a sinking suspicion that
someone has.

So those are my pics.  I will try to get some more sometime soon.  Has
anyone else been turned down by ozbricks?  It says I'll get a reply in 72
hours, but it's been over a week or so.

Very, very cool stuff.  You've worked quite hard on building your world.  Like
I said before, I can't wait to see it all come together.  I'll be anxiously
awaiting your website's launch.  I especially like some of the architectual
features you've put into the larger of your structures.

I don't know of anyone who's been turned down, but don't give up hope.  I sent
an email (although futile) asking ozbricks if I could recieve or pay for an
extension on my website's size limits.  While I didn't expect to get a positive
answer, I have yet to recieve a reply.  I suspect that the webmaster of
Ozbricks is a busy busy man, and probably doesn't always have time to answer
all requests.

Here's the folder when it's public.

I look forward to the feedback and/or flames.
Now let's get that Castle World up and running!

I wish you luck, producing a full fledged story is hard work, but at the end of
the day, it's something that you can be very proud of.
