DevLog #1: (Patreon)

It is better to start first devlog with the very beginning and all important moment in drawing that  affected the World I will be creating now:

The year was somewhere a middle of 200x-s, mom bought me a book "How to Draw Comics", but the only thing I read and remember was how to draw buff muscular hero-man in a very poor way. It is then my first OC was created; name was Drodo ‒ which was a merge between Frodo from The Lord of The Rings and Droideka from Star Wars, because both movies were trending back then. The only thing I can remember about how he looked is his face, something like this:

Some Years Later I played Warcraft 3 for the first time (I think it was after Frozen Throne release), and so my first OC race was made ‒ the Tree-people... and as you can expect, they looked the same as the Lord of The Rings Ents, but with Night Elf colors...

Shortly after, I played Warhammer 40k Dawn of War, and as you know, my active interest in Warhammer 40000 lasted for 2 decade. It indeed will affected the world I make: I tried to keep it Grim Dark as much as I can (but with tits and butts and cute woman jiggling around it is not that Dark nor Grim anymore), highly religious (at least this is prominent), Ideologically divided (rivalry between Tits and Butts) but unified under a Global Threat (Those who don't like Tits and Butts).

Sometimes later I played Heroes of Might and Magic 5, and this was indeed pushed me to make fully first OC world. Medieval setting, with Many Races/factions based on nature elements were thought and drawn: I can remember water, fire, earth, air, thunder, plant/life, decay/rust, light, darkness/death, metal, gravity... The Planet would be massive - the size of 10 suns! And I wanted to draw it in every detail! Every city, every street, every house... but you can guess why I dropped that Idea. I even started writing a book in that world, I think 10+ pages were finished.

Around this time my parents bought me my first drawing tablet, which originally I didn't use for some time because I though that I will easily became famous by traditional means.

Eventually that first OC world was changed - I became disinterested in Fantasy and leaned more to Sci-Fi. Only 4 elemental races were left, no humans: Fishmen, Beastmen, Birdmen, Lizardmen; and Ancients who went (not) extinct - they could shapeshift, see/hear/talk/smell with the skin instead of usual ways, they also created these four races as cute pets, all the planets and Sun itself; main/home planet was the engine of this solar system, because it didn't travel through Universe, it was moving Universe around itself.

There is a lot of stuff I made for this OC World, some Lore was written, some language was created, some Art was made... like these:

It is all that I could find on my PC. The rest is on paper and I don't have neither scanner no camera anymore.

During this time I was also writing a new book, for a separate "franchise". It was about "Green" postapocalyptic Earth. Almost 200 pages were written for the first book, while I wanted to write 3. Multiple characters on every continent would eventually meet in one place, beat the bad mutant guy who lords over all of humanity, and find out about... the third franchise, which was about humanity before it arrived on Earth. The third franchise would act dozens of thousands years in the past, about galactic conflict of humans and... Fishmen, Beastmen, Birdmen, Lizardmen from the first franchise dozens of thousands years later, because they want to revenge bad mutant guy who lords over all of humanity... and do you know who is the bad mutant guy? The last surviving Ancient from the first franchise!

Eventually I immigrated, started to work and then had no time nor interest to continue this.

Many years would past, and during these years I would understand that human brains can create the same patterns and ideas even if separated by half of the globe. Like, at the end, my Fishmen race had these distinct features: electricity, invisibility, four arms, a lot of pirates with spears and blades and sniper rifles, round shapes on building and armor... that is a very close combination of the Fallen from Destiny that was released years later... Additionally during these years sometimes I unintentionally would create something that eventually helped me to fulfill my new OC world in this past year... like [Redacted] or [Redacted]...

So, after more than a decade, a one special day happened when I decided to try again...

But this story is for the next time...
