Time for More Graphic Novels

 Hello. C J here. Okay, hear me out. I’ve gotten good at using AI art to make things. I need it for concept art or I will spend the next two to three years planning and drawing the Quantum Starter Set. The Quantum Starter Set will be out probably in a few months and on time because of AI art. I’m writing the code for these myself and I’m finally willing to start publishing them. Here’s the one for today’s image.

Notice no capitols, no punctuation. It’s me telling the algorithm at Perchance what assets I want it to piece together into an image. It’s keywords mostly for nouns or colours. In other words, computer speak. I don’t get why people hate art generation so much. I’m a trained painter and this is faster than making every image out of acrylic. I then draw the final versions myself by hand. Why is one better than the other? Both take planning and an eye for detail.

Moving on. Now. Forever. Perchance can do nice things, like today’s image. I’m done concept art entirely for the Starter Set and once the Starter Set is done, along with Uprising Core, I’ll have a ton of free time and energy. Time to take what I’ve built and tell stories. I’m wondering something. Can I use art generation software to tell a story? Like a really nice story? I have tons of ideas and I think I’ll stick to my stengths and do either a travel based fantasy epic or a nice character driven romance. I’m not good at doing both in the same product. They’ll be free PDFs when they’re done, probably in installments. I’ll explain the code I use more later, maybe as PDF.

Announcing Legend - Quantum

 Hello. C J here. I'm announcing today the official tabletop RPG companion to my upcoming video game line Quantum Dragon. The tabletop RPG companion is named Legend - Quantum. I finally get to write something in the Legend series again. I am very happy about this. The Legend series other than this one is done and will be out once its proofread, which may be a while from now. Reliably this series is the best work I've ever done on anything. I'm planning on writing setting and character sourcebooks for the whole game line as well but for now I'm working on the core book for the video game crossover. There's a free in-development copy in the Downloads page now. Have fun. C J Mcpherson

Minecraft Experiments - Steampunk Part One

 Hello. C J here. It's time for more Minecraft. This time we have some steampunk themed buildings. I'm doing these mostly as an experiment and they aren't in the part of the Astral I usually build, Ascala. Ascala needs more planning so I'm doing generic Astral themes instead of a specific nation this time. Remember that lighthouse form earlier? Well we're going in its direction this time. But first a long minecart ride from the underground station. And here we are in Port Stone. You'll notice the style of building is different. That's because it's a different part of the setting were building here. Here on the surface we have a boat waiting for us. We have a long voyage ahead of us. They've implemented some beautiful coral reefs in one of the previous updates. Believe it or not I've been playing Minecraft since before there were horses in it. Minecraft is still good. And here we are, at the new steampunk build site in the middle of an ocean. We h...

My New Favourite Video Game Part Two

 Hello. C J here. I’m just going to continue discussing the video games I’m playing for a while. I’m planning out another batch of Minecraft builds while I play Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Red Rescue Team. It’s kind of weird that these are job activities for me but they are. The Minecraft builds need to be done so I can learn some more things about level design. The Pokemon game is what I’m doing for fun. At least it was. Pokemon make great inspiration for the work I do and the stories I write. I’m now having to make more time for it. Most of the characters in my setting are inspired by the Pokemon games. Our main characters Ivy, Blue, William and Benjamin are all based on some of the Pokemon in the first three generations. Ivy is specifically a fictitious all black Pokemon. Blue is an all blue togepi, William is a persian and Benjamin is a tauros without the horns. I’m going to get back to drawing humanoid versions of the first three generations eventually. These to my knowledge count...
