Bken's Stream of Consciousness

A place of ramblings and loopy doodles

[beaconhopper]

Finally made a banner for Project C.O.W. What I'm mainly aiming for in terms of this project is 2 (maybe 3) rpgs that explore this little world I've been developing for awhile that takes place in a series of caverns called The Tangle. If it isn't obvious now, this project is heavily influenced from the Biopunk genre (stuff like Bioshock, Akira, etc.). With the characters and world I've created, I want to tell a story about unconventional ways of reaching maturity that relate to moments in my own life. With that said, I still want to make characters, stories, and gameplay that people fall in love with. If I can pull that off with my creations, then I think I've done enough for my dreams to become reality ^^

Character names as follows (top left to bottom right):

- ???

- Colt

- King Cranium

- Pleak

- Metalida

- Ronnie

- Henri

- Dane

- Orz

The third part of my Blender Character modelling tutorial series is out, meaning all the actual modelling portion is done, so you can fully model your character now. There is still more to come, though.

Character Modelling in Blender for Beginners

The materials portion is out. Since it's just about materials, this can technically be it's own standalone tutorial too.

This is the last Toon June entry (That's all, folks!). To update: work on LOM (Legend of Misplacia) will continue next year. I realized that there are still aspects of my art skills that still need improvement. For the rest of the year, I'll be tackling different art challenges every month (I'm practicing pinups this month). The art batches will continue like always and and one more character bio will be done before the end of the year. Hope you guys enjoyed my recent works and I'll continue to have fun with what I produce. Stay tuned

Name: Lucerne "Lucy" Raigard

Age: 25

Occupation: Farmer

Class: Valkyrie

Gender: Female

Life before LOM: Lucy was born to a farmer family of 5; a mom, dad, a brother, and two sisters. Picked on by her siblings and classmates for being short at an early age, she spent most of her down time exercising and building up bulk to make up for her size at the time. Because of her unbreakable spirit, her parents taught her about their trade more often than her siblings; which started to fill them with jealously. It didn't help that when she reached her teenage years, she went through massive height growth. Her classmates and teachers often thought she was a full grown adult in high school. Once she finished high school, she made the firm decision to pick up her parents' trade and become a farmer herself. Around the time Joey met Lucy: she owned her parents' farm, watched her siblings head into the different kingdoms for higher education, and was planning to enter the farmers' guild. By this time, she taught herself to fight with her mom's pitchfork and a common barrel top. In fact, she was undergoing fierce training during Joey's arrival due to the monsters that started to appear in the countryside.

Name: Joey Carroton

Age: 20

Occupation: Guardian

Class: Sentinel

Gender: Male

Life before LOM: Born to the kingdom's lower class, Joey spent most of his childhood as a child servant/apprentice to an Elite Guardian named Gein. When he was old and well-trained enough, he tried his hand at becoming an Elite Guardian like his mentor. Instead, he served under the King of Herok as a fertilizer guard. It pays decently enough for a small home, but living paycheck-to-paycheck is all you can afford. To make a little more money, he scoured nearby beaches for old, but reliable battle equipment that could be appraised. During a rather fruitless search, he happens to trip over a rather ominous relic that he later learns is the Sword of the Chosen: a weapon gifted to the Chosen to vanquish the Legendary Misplacia. After a few events that can be described as the best worst day of his life, Joey is thrusted into the job "Fatebringer" and is sent into the wild; exiled from his home until he gets the weapon back to the Chosen One

[beaconhopper]

Howdy.

You may be wondering where all the updates have gone. I'm planning to form complete character bios once I finish the "last" main character ref sheet for LOM (Legend of Misplacia/Mark is the last one). I'll be working on maps while writing the bios too. For now, have my mascot with details from my old main in Marvel Rivals

[beaconhopper]

6th batch of fanart (With some of my own OCs and a little spicy). I apologize for dead air. Been more active on Discord and Twitter, so I'll make up for it with this and some new entries on the LOM blog. These are the characters from left to right:

- Tora (Punipaws on Twitter)

- Abigail ( @huffslove)

- Spark the Electric Jester (Spark series)

- Bken mascot styled like Wolverine (Marvel Rivals)

- UwU series from behind (Bken/Joke ocs)

- Cat oc ( @bri-wolfer)

- Lifi (Bken/Valentine form)

- Squirrel Persona (Silent jack on Twitter)

- Monkey oc (talons_fw on Twitter)

- Pomni (pinup/Amazing Digital Circus)

This is Mark. They do have a real birth name, but they prefer to remain mute. This jellyfish person hails from the unknown lands at the edge of the large war continent of Destralonia (Main continent and locations of the monster and human domains. Will explain later). Their home consists of marshlands and flood villages. Little is known about the people Mark comes from, but they appear to remain neutral towards the affairs of the main land. As the party learns more about these peaceful towns, Mark slowly divulges their personality through...professional charades. What can be deciphered is that they are a relatively kind individual with a deadly amount of curiosity toward anything coming from the mainland. Other than that, they enjoy being alone: surfing the strong marshland waves and acting as an oracle vessel to the History of the Champions. When learning about the party's duties toward bring the legendary sword back to the "Chosen", they appear to be excited enough to join your crew and serve as an ambassador to their people. In terms of combat, they can make an unusual amount of splash potions using their volatile yet versatile mucus found on their tentacles. They even use their surfboard as a cover for potions that take longer to create. While it is sturdy, defending their surfboard can avoid losing the ability to attack with it until they fix it. With a little patience, Mark will show their true potential in time
