Cereblor: the Brain in the Jar

Visiting Matt Doughty & his awesome family last weekend was a blast for me & my girlfriend Beth. While there, Matt did a lot of amazing drawings of some of my creations including a veeery old one from back in the mid-to-late 1990's.

The character started out as just a brain in a jar who traveled with Sun'slyr (the prince of the Phosperonns) to Slauria to explore the world after it had been quarantined for two centuries. While there it was their job to retrieve the Gauntlet of Destruction and the Gauntlet of Protection that had been taken there by a criminal overlord known as Yarr'kon. Once there, Sun'slyr & Cereblor followed the path of destruction left by Gauntletz and the Bringers of Bloodshed (aka the 'Blood Lords'). Cereblor then used his cybernetics knowledge to re-animate the bodies of warriors killed by Gauntletz and add their ranks to their new team, the Sun Strikers.

Here's a drawing I did years ago based on artwork my friend made back then. It's the Sun Strikers main means of transportation while on Slauria & is currently being manned by 4 Sun Strikers & Cereblor.

Since then the Cereblor character has transformed into something more deep. With the help of my friend Doctor Kent, who provided a good chunk of the new Cereblor's backstory, we created a character who spanned decades of story and is almost responsible for the majority of crap happening in my universe.

For those of you who followed Alien Mercenaries, Cereblor is mentioned in it several times and is known there as Ce'Brorr, his name before become making his exo-suit and becoming a Bionic Living Organism (aka his name CereB.L.Or.). Actually, if you look at the computer monitor in episode #22 of the 1st season of Alien Mercenaries (the 1st panel of that episode) you'll see the computer system recognizing Greh'eck as the user "Ce'Brorr". In the 1st episode of season 2, Gr'owwlge mentions to Greh'eck how he was taken away from his family by a Prutarran Scouting Party & then awoke in a laboratory. Ce'Brorr was the one who ordered the scouting party to retrieve Gr'owwgle AND was in the lab when he came out of stasis briefly. He was abducted due to his abilities to sense and read auras in beings, but for what purpose ultimately will eventually be explained...

The stories of Slauria are vast, and as a young teenager I drew at least 200 different characters. Some have found their ways into my current creations while others have yet to be revealed. Keep your eyes on this blog for more stuff about my Creature World stories as we enter the new year.

New custom: Goreklops!

Here's a character that's been in existence for a few years now and I finally got around to sculpting him a decent glyos body. He's about 4-to-5 inches tall so he's a BIG dude.

Goreklops
A Slaurian Cyclops*, Goreklops is a force to be reckoned with. Not quite as dim-witted as the average 'cyclopsian', he posseses some degree of common sense. Several crime bosses have been looking at him for potential recruitment, but he's proven to wild and unruly. If a individual of great intelligence were able to wrangle this brute onto their side, they would make quite a formidable team. Currently incarcerated in a Prutarran penal colony under a assault/robbery charge.

*(a sub-species of mutant Slaurians that have 1 eye, 2 horns and a big under-bite. They are all pretty large, standing at roughly 8-to-10 feet tall and are extremely strong and resistant to damage. They can be found off-world from Slauria, but in small numbers. Due to their low average intelligence and immense strength they typically find work as mercenaries, body guards or hired muscle for crime gangs.)



















Goreklops: "What're you looking at snake-face??"

Vacation time once again!

Going off on my annual trip to New Hampshire with my family and now (for the 1st time) my fiancee Beth too. Should prove to be a interesting week, and I'll no doubt be able to get some work done while on the trip (sculpting and such). We should have internet access up there (cause in this day-and-age, where isn't there web access??) so I'll try to post some pics of what's going on up there, as well as what I'm working on.

Oh, side-note: the banner for the page has changed for this month and is the 3rd picture in the banner picture story I'd been doing for the last 3 months. Basically it shows some Prutarran soldiers on the look out for an un-known alien called "Arrowhead". He revealed himself to us, the audience, in the July banner and then made his move this month slicing a soldier in half. O_O I'll have some more shots of him this week odds are.

Stay tuned...
