Ascala Spotlight – Knights and Phoenixes

Hello. C J here. I’ve got two new corporations heroes from Five Million Strong for you this afternoon. First is Hawthorn, the mage coder who acts as the public face of the Shadow Knights. The Shadow Knights are technically a corporation despite the fact that they are decentralized and have no known location. They are coders and computer wizards who keep the other corporations honest without ever letting them know who within their own team did what. Hawthorn is one of the few of them who will meet outsiders, although what this says about his rank in the team is unknown to anyone except for him.


 

Next up is Phoenix Captain Miak Youngsun. The term Phoenix Captain means she’s currently the top ranking member of Phoenix Legion. Phoenix Legion is the continent’s largest professional mercenary organization and while they are known for their speed they are also known to follow the law very closely. Often the corporations need manpower in their quiet wars and conflicts they have in the Interior, the desert at the centre of the continent. These wars never conclude and so the members of this mercenary organization live most of their lives in the Interior doing work for other corporations. This is their current team lead.



This art will be used to make the final cards in Five Million Strong. No matter how nice all of this art looks it’s concept art and not the final art that will appear on these character’s cards. That art will be in my line art style and will be based on the concept art here. Next up I’m documenting the two other Blackforge Industrial Division Chiefs who work alongside Balath Regal.

Chinese Food That is Very Saucy

Hello. C J here. I read a lot of cookbooks. This is done mostly for fun. I’m currently reading a short but really interesting book about traditional Chinese cooking. The book was written by an Indian author who has clearly researched Chinese food very well but some of the translations of recipes or concepts get a bit strange. I’m currently done the soups and starters section and am onto the section labelled ‘food that is saucy.’ Cool? Is it also savvy? There’s a surprisingly large amount of ketchup in the recipes. No I don’t think I want a recipe for hot and sour soup that is thickened ketchup water with vinegar and a bit of cabbage. No I also don’t want to take a slice of white wonderbread, roll it into a tube, stuff it with canned corn, deep fry it and then top it with sesame seeds. What in God’s name do they eat in China? And why is it specifically an image of white wonderbread? China? Are you okay? I managed to take out the vinegar, water and corn starch that makes up most of the h...

The Tunnels Under Haven

 Hello. C J here. Walking down the streets of Haven is not always as safe as the city would like people to think. Yes, they have curbed the banditry that plagues the Southern half of the Coastal Road. The Desert Princes whose cities dot the Southern coast of the Southern Continent if anything make the problem worse for themselves with their constant rivalries and politics. So no, a traveller in Haven or in the River Lands is unlikely to meet a bandit or other criminal sort. But then there’s the walking dead to consider. Many of the basements, catacombs and landmarks of Haven have old foundations from before the city had its current name. In ages long past it was one of two competing capitols for the Desert Empire, both of which unified under the first Sand King of the Gold Dynasty, the God-Lion. It was never his place of residence and both the other capitol and the rest of the Desert Empire are long since buried under the dunes. Well, people like to assume they’re buried. People wo...

Let's All Be Friends, No Really - Part Two

 Hello. C J here. I’ve updated my plans to make a Discord server for everyone here and on Facebook. Making a Discord server to my knowledge costs money. However, making a Facebook group does not. I’ve made a few of those over the years as well for various reasons. I’m going to look into this soon and then add the links here and in the menus here as well. I’m certain a Facebook group is what we need. I’m planning a number of chats within the group. So far my current plans are as follows. Art and Artwork Health and Wellness Food and Baking Magic and Spirituality Writing and Software NSFW I’m planning a private group but if I can get it open entry without a form or sign up page or anything. As for rules I’m going to reuse some from past of these I’ve done. Everyone is Welcome Be Polite Advertising is Allowed Follow the Content Ratings The Facebook group will take some planning but not any actual effort to build. It’s that simple. Thanks. C J Mcpherson
