Stone Trolls and Orcs

I love playing... or should I say... I loved playing

I remember that when I was young, I was crazy for video games. My spoiled friends all got a Super Nintendo, my grandma was spoiling me with gameboys, but it was not the same thing. You could share a super nintendo and it was colorful. the gameboy was nice (Metroid on Gameboy was awesome), but I always got the envy of not having a stupid super nintendo.

With the advent of computers, video gaming on them, and suddenly realizing that its graphics were better than the N64, I was finally dreaming the dream: I remember playing Doom, Heretic, and a game about some space ships fighting each other (don't remember the name), but everything was in glorious 3-D (and in shinny colors)

Everything was pixelated, but it was fantastic...

Of course, my parents didn't like me and my brothers spending tons of time playing games, we often would indulge in playing these late at night. A complicated issue, because the computer was not in our room. You needed to be very silent, and my dad did have a keen ear. Every time he got up to make a night patrol (why?) you needed to be very silent, turn off the computer monitor, and even hide the little lights from the computer, if you could fool this old fox of my dad, you would be playing some more time. If not, you were busted, and to bed you go.

Anyway... I was reminiscing of all this stuff because, part of my novel has the Saurians, and Stone Trolls. These form part of another video game (battle for Wesnoth, free on Steam), that is from a few years ago, but it emulates those pixelated 2D games; besides... I needed something else to put on my blog, and why not? some nostalgic events which are going to trigger you guys, my incognito friends on the internet, to buy my novels ^.^
This is a Stone Troll, and its commanding Orc. Orcs and Trolls come together in Battle for Wesnoth. In my novel, they are dumber and more aggressive, still they can be trained for war, and Orcs love them.

If you wish to help this poor author, and his family. You can buy one of my novels: 10 puny dollars for a physical edition or 3 puniest (and insignificant) dollars for the kindle edition

I am starting a blog today... Somehow, I think that it will help me out with my book selling (which is at zero right now) This is the book I got from Amazon, it is a "proof" book. I was so happy when I first got it, and then as always, you start checking the little details. In this case, the margin is not properly cut, and it did have some minor details on my behalf, e.g. I did have two repeated 21 chapters, and many little inconsistencies everywhere. My father told me that it was ok, the most important thing was the contents, and yes, part of me agree with him, while the fascist part of me: the one that wishes to end all of humanity in a hellish ocean of fire, tells me that the devil is in the details. Both are right. So last night, I was correcting all these stupid minor details, that and at the same time I was fighting with my computer software. Let me explain: I love Microsoft Word, I grew working with the stupid program, it was the only option back then, r...

El muerto

This is my latest drawing. Theresa is the one in the middle. On her sides are her daughters. They have the purple hair, a particularity of the Ghost people : they are basically elves who excel at " ghost walking " and that is only another name for astral projections... I must confess: the stuff I can't do, I reflect it on my books. When I was doing my pH.D. my former girlfriend was kind into this (she got an aunt who was capable of "witchcraft"), so sometimes, they went and practice meditation and stuff like that. I tried and I tried, but my mind is too noisy, or I just give up and go to sleep, but I remember once, that I was dreaming, and on that dream, I found myself outside my parent's house. I remember that it was a clear fresh night, and everything was so vivid: the noises, the feeling, even the smells. And the only thing that I couldn't move was my body... my head was coming out from the street, other than that, it truly was like if I was ...

It's pretty dark, my eyes must be red, but I finished it... Eventually I will stop drawing and "advertising" everywhere... I need to also finish my second book (I have probably like two freaking pages of my new novel...) A guy from Facebook, told me that I should hire a good editor O.o He was complaining because of a typo . I went into his FB account, he even wrote a post complaining about Harry Potter... he is also an author, but like me, not really famous, not really relevant. Enough of this shit , I was going to tell you, my fellow strangers, about prostitution . When you hit puberty, you have only one passion in your life, at least for me was fantasizing about women. All kinds, all races, and porno. You need tons and tons of porno, lube as well, but your saliva will do. The addicting sensation of masturbating, a lot, is something that you will experience once in your life, and probably every boy hitting puberty in all different kind of regions ...
