Wallpaper: Scrap Brain Zone

My last completed pixel art, I am still working on Gimmick Mountain and I have a Roareye redesign underway but while that is being done enjoy this. Annoying part is this fit as a desktop bg on my old monitor, but now I've got a higher resolution one so I'm not sure I'll continue the series, or whether I should simply make the wallpapers bigger.

Roareye Black is an artist who came online back in October 2000. He started doing sprite based colour editting as a small pointless aside and has quickly built his skills up into one of the leaders of the artform, even creating a free tutorial website called Sonic Showcase Network in which to teach the artform to others.

More recently he has been brushing up alot on his video game history, especially in the area of Sega Consoles, and is working for website SegaDriven to bring exclusive content about these machines to the internet.

A qualified Designer, Writer and Actor, he spends alot of time outside of the internet at work reconstructing the John Lewis (Upper/Middle Class Department Store) customer service training systems as a full time job, and acting in small plays in the local area, of which he's recieved notable accolades when performing in The Graduate's title role (Played by Dustin Hoffman in the movie).

Currently has a long-term relationship, is working with Sega and TSS towards the Summer Of Sonic 2009 event and cataloguing new consoles he buys on SegaDriven.

Syndicate Prime updates and new book reveal

Journal Entry: Sun Jul 12, 2009, 2:16 PM
Syndicate Prime is banging along nicely :) I'm onto Chapter 12 now, with each later Chapter being considerably longer than Chapters 1 and 2 have been. That may seem a bit oddly paced, but the purpose of the first several chapters must be to suck in a reader's attention. Once they are setlled in nicely, you can then bang on with more detail and longer Chapters because once an audience is engaged they will gladly lend more of their time to your book. Not heard alot of feedback on the novel, I'll be honest, and Chapter 1 pettered out at 24 page views and one comment. Still, that's to be expected. DeviantArt isn't exactly a literary culture (Short-sharp one-look stuff is more it's flavour, I'm as guilty of that as anyone else too!). I shall plod on regardless.


As for my reveal, my mind is currently formulating a more fleshed out story for my two-year long concieved Sci-Fi project. Tentatively titled "The Power Cosmic" (Though I'm still not set on the name), it is set in the mid-late 2000s (Sort of 2065 region) after constant economical crisis has shattered the boundaries of peace. After long term conflicts and mostly cold-wars between different cultures, a final peace keeping solution is created - the first Universal Space Program. The Moore is built in space at the International Space Station (Currently being built in orbit IRL) to allow for heavyweight parts to be installed (Whereas these parts would make for problematic take-offs and landings). This means the ship can only orbit planets, not land, where small landing craft must be deployed. The Moore was built and sent on it's way, the mission to begin assessing the colonisation of other worlds began... and then the Moore disappeared. Cultural and political friction is blamed among a panic-stricken Earth and quickly a new craft is funded.
Ten years later the ship, 5-Crew replacement craft "Hawkins" is complete. As political and cultural issues reach boiling point on Earth, the craft is launched to continue the mission the Moore failed to accomplish.

The concept behind the series is to show an alien light on humanity. How humanity as a group is primitive, savage, and yet when seperated becomes brave and honourable. Friction in a group is one interesting angle (However I am exploring this in Syndicate Prime already), the unique spin for "Power Cosmic" over my other works is it's other-worldly factor. The writing will show Earth, very much like today, as shocking and unreal, simply by asking "If you could live in solitude or on Earth, what would you choose?". Without spoiling key aspects to the book, the real question spanning it is looking at how wonderful humanity is with it's technical prowess and inventive skill, and then how horrific and unstable we are by viewing our petty struggles and ignorant hatred together in one clash. Would you be honoured, or disheartened to call yourself human?

Do you guys like the idea of Power Cosmic? If so, can you think of a more catchy name (Power Cosmic sounds a bit too girly, I want something edgy that stands out). Any comments about Syndicate Prime are also welcome... yes I really am pining for feedback XD
