Endless Realms bestiary - Mana Ooze
Bestiary artwork for Endless Realms, a D&D-like "pen and paper" fantasy RPG I'm working for.
It's been over a year since I've done an "ooze-type" creature, but then, I think I've only done two so far! The art director wanted some more, so I came up with this - I imagined it being a kind of animate by-product of magical experiments and errant spells. Perhaps the energy that would normally be used in normal spells went wrong or recombined somehow, creating this magical ectoplasmic creature, or perhaps it was created purposefully, and used as a kind of sentinal or mage-trap?
Anyway, it's a colourful mana-themed ooze creature, and I kinda like it :3 Then again, I think that's just because it somehow makes me think of some kind of fun candy or gummy, and I want to eat it :b

Neither, really. The art director needed more ooze creatures, and I thought a mana-related one would have good potential. I figure it's some sort of magical byproduct of spells gone wrong (like, the mana that should have been used in a spell got messed up and created an animate mana ooze creature instead), but I could see it being, like, a magic-eater that feeds on mana and the spells of casters, or something like that.
Really, though, it's up to the writing team to come up with what the monsters I draw actually do! I don't get any final say in that bit of the project.

XD Wow, that makes me think of an old guildie friend of mine... >_> She ran D&D campaigns all the time, except, as she put it, "they're filled with ouchie and rape" :V One of those people who seemed super cute and fun-loving and then you find out is a giant kink-master XD I miss her :b
Yeah, I was more thinking the second myself :V

Thanks! Hehe, I like "kinetic art" (even if it's sorta cheesy, like lava lamps). My favourite were the wave machines that rocked back and forth ( https://i.ytimg.com/vi/HC7LLEUpZ7o/.....resdefault.jpg ) and glitter lamps ( http://www.glow.co.uk/media/catalog.....ter-lamp-3.jpg ) >_>
For one, the easiest: the initiate:

and for second, Project Kraaj

There still where some other card like the breeding pool and heart of Novijen who did another focus on their experiments, but those show btoh, failures with the ooze on one side with the initiate, and a critical Success with Kraaj, a formless mass on the other.

Hehe, oldschool movies are awesome :b I mean, the good ones were good, obviously, but I sorta miss the cheesy B-movie stuff that used to come out. Although my husband and I found an "old" movie a few years back: it had actually been made recently, but spoofing the style of old sci-fi/horror B-movies, where the actors were specifically directed, "Pretend you're bad actors trying to act these roles." :V
It's called The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra, if you're interested - has at least a few pretty great moments XD

I actually met the fellow who started the Zombie movie craze. I was the flight mechanic on a DC-8 our company leased to a movie outfit. He described how they did one of the scenes (black and white) and it was almost nauseating. I asked him why he made such movies and his answer was quite simple - 'They cheap to make and they made money.'

*chuckles* Yeah, I think you gotta be able to put up with a decent amount of grossness if you're going to work on a horror movie, although I feel particularly bad for the cast, since they're the ones that have to wear/be splashed with all sorts of gross stuff, constantly.
I've heard less-funny anecdotes of people working on horror films who actually walk away from it kind of traumatized for life because of "the things they did" - they know all the horribleness was fake and whatnot, but something about actually partaking in it, even in a fantastical way, really stuck with them.

I got it. If you recall about the idea of the giant jellyfish holding up a city in the water. It'll have to be a magical city and it could have rivers or something filled with this ooze. Trapped into like open rivers like in Venice, and the jelly fish typically feeds off of them. Their for the hook in this situation is that the ooze isn't being dealt with by the giant jellyfish and the adventures have to find and settle the issue before the city gets over run and then dropped to the bottom of the ocean.
What you think?

That's too bad - you could try co-DMing, perhaps? A friend of mine who loves coming up with ideas for story/character/worlds, but is bad at the mechanical side of the game (designing unique encounters, ensuring enemies are appropriately challenging, knowing all the combat mechanics, handling all the numbers etc.), so he sometimes co-DMs with another friend. So he gets to do the story-telling, and the other one runs the combat.
