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 really there.

But that time, it just happened. I was not even planning on doing it, and I have never done it again.

If you search into the subject, the whole idea seems illogical and completely made up. If you ask some other people about it, their own explanations don't add up, and science consider it as a pseudoscience... and you also have your usual schemer trying to make money out of it (but hey! not me, I am just a poor writer trying to use this same concept to add different facets onto my books)

By the way... the title of the post...

Last post I was talking of the bad dead guys... Let me try to explain it...
You are sleeping without a worry, then your whole consciousness is suddenly aware that something bad is about to happen. The first indication of such event happens when you hear the steps... something or someone is coming to get you. The second indication is that you are completely terrified and can't wake up, it would seem that you are caught into a drowsy numbness. The third indication (if you fail to wake up) is when you feel your fucking bed moving. You can also hear the springs being pushed down, this is the last step and when the muerto finally climbs on top of you... It is a terrible experience.

My grandma, and my mother tell me that you need to say lots of cursing to this evil entity. I have learnt that your best option is to force yourself to wake up when you are hearing the steps or when you start feeling unable to move, and for the entity: it really is an evil entity, there are no words for trying to explain that pure evilness. And you have science trying to explain this strange phenomenon, the last thing I heard, was that your mind tries to wake up but your body doesn't follow (or some shit like that), but the feeling of terror that you finally get is something that, I believe, can't be explained by (our current) science... funny thing that this appears to happen since ancient times, and on many different cultures..

For me, these guys, are the bad guys... perhaps tormented people who love to fuck (or try to fuck) with us, the living dudes... I don't know.

There are many things that I have experienced, and I can't explain with science, perhaps because we don't really know all the answers. I prefer to keep an open mind.

Hope you get a nice good sleep tonight, and pro tip... if you are constantly cursed with such beings... I have found that blessing your home with water and salt is a good reliable option.

This was going to be the Abyector... a word that doesn't exist in English, and was not in my vocabulary... but Abyecto in Spanish does exist and it basically means: someone that is really a scumbag... and since it doesn't exist in English, I will now baptize this cool creation of mine as an Abyector ©. Why not? this is my world, this is my realm.  And it is funny how sometimes words come to you... I was going to save this guy in Krita , but I lacked its name... and my inner voice told me: Why not Abyector? and I was like... what the fuck is an Abyector? what does that even mean? A little search with my friend, Mr. Google, and I mistook the first result which was in Spanish... so... a happy mistake. Anyway... I was thinking of introducing the machines on the second volume of my saga: a full robot armada, besieging our magical and strange world. I even wrote the chapter for it, but I decided to wait... there will be robots, but just small killing squads terrorizin...

Glider V.2.

This is the Saurian glider , it is slightly modified from the previous one , but this is what I love about engineering; the beauty of precision. I learnt Autocad a long time ago, learning inventor is entirely something else, and I still prefer Autocad for doing 3D models, Inventor requires lots of practice and has lots of bugs; nonetheless, it has plenty of advantages over Autocad. Anyway, we are not here to discuss about Inventor or Autocad, the glider is a fighter for the Saurian Empire . These specific crafts have a huge disk on the middle which allow them to ascend or descend in a quickly matter of time (they use centrifugal force). Their wings are just to stabilize them on flight but essentially their way of moving is because of this central disk... and I still need to imagine about the rest of the saurian air/space vessels and the rest of the congregation , i.e. the ones commanded by the Sergovnian , the Mourasam's (on book 2), and about the machine's as...

The real Narco Mexico

These are some of the different classes of Saurians . The Trackers have enhanced senses of smelling, hearing, and seeing. They are widely used in Saurian patrols to pursue or locate their enemies.  Changelings can "transform" into their enemies (provided, these don't have great smelling senses, or magical traps). Changelings are used as infiltrators; their job is to sow panic and chaos behind enemy ranks. Fighters or Soldiers tend to be shorter, bulkier, but stronger. They can't move swiftly as the previous classes, instead, they are fighting masters, and are the most resilient of them. They are an important faction in my book: Magika Scientifica B1: Tainted Sun   As you can see, I did use some delimiting line to mark them... it is really hard to just drop that thin black line... so... mea culpa, mea culpa. By the way! Happy holidays and etcetera . The real great thing about these holidays is that the family gets together, and you can infect ot...
