Honestly done w/ my anthro journey on art...moving on to better things.

The Story(Why you are fighting?)

Through out the universe there exists a caliber of stars known as god-stars, though many worlds refer to them as wishing stars. Their power to pull reality can only be utilized during their final phase as a star in which they will become a black hole; self imploding and breaking the balance between dimensions and universes. It is at this time the dying star will call on those who wished upon it before it entered its last phase. Depending on the number of individual who attempted to wish upon the dying god-star, the star will act as a living being and judge those and only through blood and sweat will the god-star cast it's judgment. If the god-star power to fulfill a wish is not used, the (black-hole) god-star will devour all the planets or dimensions of the multiple wisher's home.
The judgment start here; sixteen individuals from all over have been summon to a pocket dimension designed within the dying god-star to fight. Eleven fighters fought bravely, but only one can be champ


Please congratulate CroanBlackhole, the FIRST and new CHAMPION of Affinity Fighters League 2010 OCT!!!

Some time tonight...

Well, Round three is over and by matter of circumstance the will not be a round four; but a champion will be announce and serve a Affinity Fighters League King of the Ring!

I'm currently waiting on the results, but as soon as I do...this OCT will be officially concluded!

Just a few hours away from the end of another glorious round!!!!

3 days reminder to all semi-finalist

So kicking off Sunday, the last week of round 3 will begin so this is just a reminder to our four semi-finalist. Also to blow my own horn, and the fictional character, Naruto, I am turning 20 this Sunday, as Naruto is turning 17 or something like that; (woot for the 10/10/10!). Anywho, best wishes to the semi-finalist!

PS: School has trapped me, and the round fan art is on a hold...so I'm trying to get it done along with my college work, music, social life...

PS^2: (TO SEMI-FINIALIST), last chance for you to ask for an extension, but keep in mind all four finalist must ask for the extension.

So Round 3 has two weeks left, just a reminder; also, sorry I've been distant on the updates but school is demanding and juggling social, mental, and sometimes physical(health stuff) events...well we've all been there ;)

Hope everything on your side of the world is going well or going somewhere positive :)

If you though being your AFL OCT host was just journals, messages, and updates then you were wrong my friends; I too draw...and right now am working on fan art for those in the first round who submitted entries; my plan is to make this a habit but I'll see what happens at the end of Round Two and go from there.

Oh, Round Two kicks off tonight @ Sunday July 18, 2010 @ 12:00am CMT and ends Saturday August 28, 2010 @ 11:59pm

Hopefully I'll start uploading the fan art after next week, being i purchase some inking pens...but sketches are in work right now.

Till next journal; keep fighting and wishing!
