February Requests!

First, some context: The Magic 2.0 series is about a computer hacker who discovers that the reality in which he exists is a computer simulation by way of gaining access to the program's data file. Naturally, he starts screwing around with this, and manages to get himself wanted for bank fraud. This leads to him going back in time to medieval England (because the File allows people to to travel through time, which makes no sense from a programming standpoint but is integral to the plot), where he discovers that he's hardly the first person to find the File, and that the others have formed a community of wizards in the distant past. The third book is about a disgruntled former wizard who was banished to the present and stripped of his access to the File for being a psychopath (I should mention that removing his access to the File involved giving him a magnetic field that insured no integrated circuit would function within ten feet of him, and that his main passion in life was video games) managing to find his way back and getting revenge on the wizards by trapping them in a giant fantasy game. At one point, they have to slay a beast that comes into town every week and eats a villager so that the blacksmith can use its bones to make them a weapon. Then it turns out that the monster in question is a giant trapdoor spider who lives in a burrow underneath the town, which sends Tyler (one of the wizards, who happens to be a professional author) into a tirade about how cliched giant spiders are, and how little sense it makes in this context, leading to an argument about spider biology that brings the entire plot to a screeching halt in one of the most hilarious scenes from the entire series. It ends with Todd (the disgruntled former wizard) assuring Tyler that even if the spider itself is cliched, the way in which it attacks will be unexpected. I'm not sure if I should spoil it (I can if you want/need me to, but the best way to appreciate it is to read it yourself), but suffice to say it certainly lives up to that promise.

Oh, what's Strathila described like?

Either one would be cool! I requested those podcasts because they gave me Awful Hospital vibes (one is about European royals eating mummies to treat their cough) but they are pretty long and detailed. I was going to request Immortan Joe and Imperator Furiosa from Fury Road next month, so you could review them instead if you want. :)

haven't had time to listen to the podcast episodes yet :( I could try doin it later or I could review something else?? Mostly these are for reviews of character/creature designs anyhow

For the reviews, I'd love to hear your thoughts on my own original Spec-Alien creatures I've posted about on my deviantart. The best image is at https://www.deviantart.com/bob-the-seagull-king/art/Day-Among-The-Blistergrass-Alien-Hunt-819797667 and the others are only a couple rows from the top of my deviantart profile.

For Review: My character: Tank and Boney - https://www.deviantart.com/hazard100/art/January-26-and-27-Tank-and-Boney-585862187 For Sketch: Twisted Easter basic enemies with the added theme of parasitic insects.

Gabriel Regli

For Review: Strathila from An Unwelcome Quest (assuming my previous attempts at contacting you don't count as a separate request). For sketch: What's The School like?

For review: Namielle from Monster Hunter World. For sketch: Mortasheen equivalent to Weedle.

I'd like either a Power Lords monster review or a sketch of 2 D&D monsters of your choice having tea.

Karl T. Face

For sketch, could you take a look at the story-like game “Don’t open your eyes,” and draw what you think the monster looks like? Or, you can draw what the monster can look like in the game (It’s like a choice based thing) For a review could you review Monoculus, the haunted Scottish eyeball turned Halloween boss from Team Fortress Two?

Woo! The best part of the month is here! 😄 Sketch of a human without ophidiophobia befriending the snake monster the Hospital uses for exposure therapy. Sketch of a human with mild ophidiophobia struggling to pet the tiny, adorable, obviously harmless therapy snake they were sent by mistake. Review of episode 38 and 112 of Sawbones, a comedy podcast about the bizarre and horrible ways people used to practice medicine. Most of their episodes are some mixture of funny and disturbing, but 38 and 112 are in full on Creepypasta territory. 38 reminds me of a really realistically written SCP-J, and 112 is just a flat out horror story. Except both actually happened.
