Building a Bestiary

So far, one of the world building tasks I’ve been focusing on is building out the more fantastical and magical creatures that my cast of characters will encounter. I’m focusing on the felines first, then canids, avians, and so on and so forth. While the world my characters will inhabit does share some of our own real animals, some need just that little bit of ｡* ✨ 𝓈𝓅𝒾𝒸𝑒 ✨ *｡. So far I have three…

Whatever happened to Creative Worlds? It looks like it was abandoned or something. The last update was in 2010. I'm just wondering what happened.

I mentioned it in an earlier post (not holding it against you, it was lengthy), but essentially it was a combination of not knowing where to go with it aside from projects that would take forever to do (and now aren’t worth the time, I have original ideas I feel like I need to pursue, in tandem with AB, don’t worry), disinterest and a feeling of disappointment due to perceived pandering, though that could have just been in my head. Honestly, AB isn’t that different from CW once you realize it, it’s just open to the public, has a specific theme and personally allows me to work on things that bring me joy despite obscurity, rather than merely keeping up with the video game zeitgeist just for the sake of broader appeal (though overlap through mentions, cameos, and references commonly happen). Sure, making something like Smash Bros comics would have been much trendier and I could have easily done something very 4koma-like in execution, but I would’ve been really unhappy, too. Essentially it’s just me staying true to myself.
