    So I was gonna wait until I finished it, but screw it, I'mma just post what I have thus far for Supreme: The Ivory Icon's first episode to gauge some feedback.

    Whatever Happened to the Man of Majesty?

     

    “This is an imaginary story...but aren’t they all?” 

     

    -Alan Moore, opening narration of Superman #423

     

     

     

    “...city of gold...need to get to the city of gold…”

     

    “Ethan, darling, wake up.” a soft, musical voice whispered in the darkness. Immediately, Ethan Crane bolted upright, breathing heavily and fumbling for the bedside lamp. With a sort of one-two-three twisting motion, he switched it on, the amber light illuminating the room. The bedroom was painted a dark blue, decorated with various pictures of the happy couple and a few paintings such as The Starry Night. Draped beneath the grey bedsheets, Ethan blinked his bright, ocean blue eyes a couple of times before turning to look at his wife. Emily Crane was a beautiful fair-skinned brunette thirtysomething; she and Ethan had married young yet the spark had never faded from their relationship. “You were talking in your sleep again.” she said, running a hand through his short platinum blonde locks. Ethan looked down at her other hand awkwardly, trying to find the right words as he subconsciously intertwined his fingers with hers.

     

    “I’ve been doing that a lot lately, haven’t I?” he asked after what seemed like an incredibly long time, although in truth it was more like 30 seconds. Emily gave a small nod.

     

    “You have, yes.” she replied. “It's rather concerning, if I’m honest.” Ethan considered his wife’s words: recurring dreams weren’t usually a problem, especially not vivid ones like he’d been having - the actual problem, he’d found, was that he couldn’t remember who he was...well, not entirely - of course, he knew he was Ethan Crane; 30 years old, married to one Emily Crane (nee Bonham) and a freelance artist who worked at local comic shop Dazzle Comics. He was 6’2”, weighing around 260 pounds; considering all that was pure muscle and taking his height into account, he had an incredibly intimidating figure, and was fair-skinned.

     

    It was just everything else outside of that he couldn’t remember; not his birthday, where he’d grown up, when he’d gotten married...nothing. As far as Ethan was concerned, he was a near-complete amnesiac. He hadn’t told Emily any of this, however, since worrying her into a mental breakdown was the last thing he wanted. His thoughts were interrupted by Emily sharply whistling and snapping her fingers in front of him. “Yoo-hoo, Ethan?” she semi-playfully called.

     

    “Oh, hmm?” came the response.

     

    Emily was frowning a bit at him now, and giving her patented Look. Ethan hated when she gave him the Look - that meant she was REALLY concerned now. “Are you sure you’re alright?” she asked him. “Because I think you really should talk about this.”

    Ethan looked deep into her eyes, wondering if she should know. Mulling his next words carefully, he answered plainly: “I...don’t know who I really am.” he admitted. “M-metaphorically, I mean.” he quickly amended.

     

    Emily’s gaze softened, and she tilted her head in an almost quizzical manner. “Oh?” she asked. “Is this a...quarter-life crisis of some kind?”

     

    “Yes!” Ethan nodded, inwardly breathing a sigh of relief. You have no idea just how right you are, Em, he thought. “It’s probably stress from work. You know, having to deal with whiny kids and all that.”

     

    “I see.” Emily replied. “Well, I hope all this can be over soon.” She gave her husband a peck on the cheek before lying back down.


    “I’ll probably make a therapist appointment tomorrow.” Ethan said before turning the lamp back off. “Good night, Emily.” The only response Ethan got was silence followed by soft, and frankly adorable snoring. Ethan chuckled, gently kissing his wife on the forehead before going back to sleep himself. His dreams, however, were no less troubled than they had been before: visions of a white void, a floating golden city, and thousands of people that looked like him, all dressed in a white and red uniform. He hadn’t known how long he’d had these dreams - months, years? Time was an utterly irrelevant illusion, it seemed. And it absolutely terrified Ethan.

     

    Supreme: The Ivory Icon

    AT LAST! THE LITERATURE YOU'VE DREAMED ABOUT IS HERE!

    PRESENTING...

    * ALAN MOORE WORLD *: Joe Bennett: Supreme Artist

    SUPREME: THE IVORY ICON

    So, ever since I gave the rights to Power Rangers: Multiverse Force to @4EverGreen(since I admitted to having become disinterested in it), I intended to stop doing lits and likely just leave altogether to focus on other things. That, unfortunately, hasn't exactly panned out the way I hoped it would. Thankfully, however, I've decided to throw my hat back into the ring with a series based on one of my favorite comic books, Supreme; more specifically Alan Moore's run, which transformed the character from a dark and edgy Superman ripoff into a loving tribute to the Man of Steel's Silver Age incarnation and overall the history of comics in general...with a decidedly metafictional flavor to it.

    With that in mind, the plot concerns comic book shop clerk and freelance artist Ethan Crane, who is having a rather pressing issue as of late: he has no idea who he is aside from the basics - he's married to his beautiful (and very English) wife Emily, he lives in the shining retrofuturistic city of Omegalopolis, he spends eight hours a day working at Dazzle Comics alongside Diana Dane and Billy Friday...and not much else. However, Ethan quickly learns that he, as well as the world, are the latest "revisions" in an ever-changing story and Ethan turns out to be more than just an ordinary guy: he's the hero known as Supreme. Now having to balance his ordinary life with his newfound one as the Man of Majesty and protector of Omegalopolis, Ethan finds there's far more than it seems...

    Expect the first episode, "Whatever Happened to The Man of Majesty?", real soon.

    I am relinquishing full creative control of Power Rangers: Multiverse Force to @4EverGreen, since I have no creative interest in the series anymore, and am moving on from SBC in general to work on my shared superhero universe (which will primarily be posted on DeviantArt and AO3). My plan is to give him what I have of "The Obligatory Food Pyramid Episode" for him to finish, then wash my hands entirely of MVF.

    So, it's been months, hasn't it?

    Power Rangers: Multiverse Force: "The Obligatory Food Episode" is climbing out of development hell, but I will post it soon; I'm trying to limit my focus to one or two stories at a time.

    SBChammer 40,000: Dark Heresy: a meta-literature set in the Warhammer 40k universe and based on the Dark Heresy TTRPG, this darkly humorous horror-mystery series follows a group of Acolytes in the Imperial Inquisition (based on myself, @HawkbitAlpha, @Steel Sponge, @4EverGreen, @Katniss, @Cha, and @Sauce Mama) under the command of Inquisitor @jjsthekid as they investigate heretical, alien, and unspeakable eldritch horror-based activity in the Askelion Sector and the surrounding area of the Segmentum Obscurus. I don't have a set date for when this one will premiere (again because I'm trying to limit my focus to 1-2 projects at a time), but the premiere will be a three parter, possibly longer, based on the beginning adventures from the game's core rules and additional materials (The Game Master's Kit and Forgotten Gods supplement).

    The Electric Garage; Or, The Topic Where Renegade Posts His Music

    in K-BLUB

    Posted

    So, after much thought and admitted procrastination, here I am (finally) making a topic to post my music under, partly inspired by @Young Nug's own music sharing topic. 

    With that out of the way, let's get down to business to defeat the Huns and answer some questions you probably aren't gonna ask, but I'm gonna answer anyway.

    What kind of music do you make?:

    Horror/garage punk and psychobilly.

     What do you use to make music, and how do you approach making music?:

    I use Pro Tools First (for necessity's sake, since my cerebral palsy would make playing most instruments needlessly difficult); as for my approach to music, I operate on a practical "less is more" style - all my songs are built upon simple tom-and-snare drumbeats and chord progressions (50s, 12-bar, 8-bar, and 16-bar blues) and recorded in a quick, dirty fashion. I record in as few takes as possible (2 at most) and use little to no overdubbing, with the mixes being as raw as possibly feasible.

    What are your songs about, lyrically speaking?:

    Generally speaking, my lyrics deal with the common themes of my genres i.e. cheesy B-movies, cars, sex, and exploitative violence. They're not meant to be taken seriously whatsoever.

    What bands/artists influence you?:

    The Cramps, Hasil Adkins, The Misfits, The Sonics, early Captain Beefheart, The Beach Boys, Tom Waits, Reverend Horton Heat, Tiger Army, Little Richard, Twin Temple, Devo, the B-52s, the Dead Kennedys, the Ramones, Green Jello, GWAR, Robert Johnson, The Mummies, Alice Cooper, the Rolling Stones...I think that's enough.

    ------

    With that out of the way, expect me to post some demos real soon.
