Eschaton, Chapter Ten

“ The struggles ahead are worth the glory. ” — Prognathex, Tyloban Warmaster--------------------------------------------------Three weeks after Prognathex’s unprovoked attack, retribution came to the Tyloban capital.Spearheaded by the Americans, the Chinese, the British, and the Australians, a fighting force of unimaginable scale descended upon New Guinea and the surrounding islands. From all sides first came a sprawling flock of assault aircraft, some helicopters, others planes; on the hulls of many were scrawled phrases like “New Guinea or Bust”, “Lizard Slayer”, “Tylobans Go Home”, and in Mandarin and Cantonese in some instances, “For S...

Eschaton, Chapter Nine

“ I…do not hate the humans. Perhaps ‘hate’ is not the right word for it. They are a dire threat, yes, and I certainly do not like them. But I do respect them. After the fight they gave us upon our return to the homeworld, I have to. ” — Tylobite, Tyloban Emperor--------------------------------------------------The Tyloban Empire had done the impossible.Humanity was a fractious and violent species, one who had warred against itself for some reason or another since the dawn of history; the idea that this would change anytime soon was a pipe dream. But once, just this once, the great nations of the world had come together to achieve a single ...

Eschaton, Chapter Eight

“ It is widely believed that I personally fought against the humans during our initial push onto the homeworld. This is not true – but I might as well have. From my command post in the capital, I saw the devastation they wrought, the atrocities they inflicted against my people, Tyloban and Skrag both. I saw just how low men were willing to sink to achieve victory against us. I saw my brave warriors limping back home with missing eyes and limbs; even with Cyberanha’s technological aid, many of them never fully recovered. I saw Tyloban children cowering from their mothers and fathers who had served, frightened by the terrible scars. I saw fa...

Eschaton, Chapter Seven

“ From time to time we found dead Void behemoths in our travels. Most had died of natural causes, being either scorched by the heat of a boiling star, bombarded with gamma radiation, or crushed after wandering into an asteroid field. Others could not be explained so readily. There is one that I will remember until the day I die – we had found it floating derelict on the outer reaches of an ancient star system, its remains frigid and dark despite the light of its swollen, dying sun. It was of a species we recognized, but in our initial surveys of its corpse we only found the rear portion of it. Where had the front of it gone to? It was only...

PL: Lore

“PL: Miscellaneous”A group of miscellaneous topics in the Days Of Dikorus expansion “Paradise Lost” that I think are worth a mention. This Journal is pretty much a grab-bag of anything in PL I want to talk about, so expect topical discontinuities!================================================================= Bay of the Pharaohs: — The Bay of the Pharaohs is the brackish, southernmost region of the Mediterranean Sea. Formed over the past decades as the Strait of Gibraltar closed and the Mediterranean flooded, the bay drowned countless miles of desert and transformed them into a lush – and deadly – oasis. The warm shores all along the bay...

Still alive, still working. Forty story scripts down, and an unknown number to go. Plenty of art done, with more yet to do. By my estimations I'm roughly halfway done. Getting there slowly, yes...but I'm getting there. The Kaiju Cycle is coming.

Well...It's been a while. Still alive, still working. "The Reboot" is progressing wonderfully; tons of new content and lore, a bunch of new art, and slowly I'm spreading the word both online and IRL. It's all coming together.... Get ready for...The Kaiju Cycle.

The End

So...that’s it. After twelve long years DOD is finally complete. Out with a whimper instead of a bang, perhaps, but it is what it is. What now then? Well...this little wrap-up has been a long time coming, but I suppose I should start at the beginning with a recap. I first joined DeviantART in the middle of 2009, though I visited the site regularly for about a year prior. I‘d always enjoyed the kaiju genre as a child but had drifted away from it in my adolescence, only for 2005’s Peter Jackson remake of “King Kong” and 2008’s “Cloverfield” to rekindle my interest and bring me back to first the Godzilla movies, and then into the fanmade works of the online community. I didn’t grow up really using the internet so it amazed me to find so many people out there with the same interests as myself, creating their own kaiju characters and worlds and proudly showcasing their creativity; it was great to just...know that I wasn’t alone. It still is. Along the way I saw tons of wonderful art, read
