CYBERDAGGER'S PROFILE

I have a set of characters I jokingly call the block breakers. You see, sometimes I have art blocks, and sometimes I go through a curious process when ending them. I get out of an art block by suddenly and unexpectedly getting a huge urge to draw a characer. One specific character. I obssessively make attempts to draw that character until I get something I am satisfied with or end up tiring myself out. Then I'm free to draw again.

Previous block breakers have been Sonic, Squirtle, Sol Badguy and Megaman X. Possibly some others I can't remember now, but those four I remember being block breakers. My latest block breaker was Marisa, from Touhou, and with that came a crushing realization.

I can't draw girls...

That's what a long time of drawing exclusively males does to you, I guess... I guess it's time to go study female anatomy, like I studied arm muscles when I drew Sol. Even if it's for the art, the thought of people walking into me looking at pictures of naked ladies still makes me a bit uncomfortable...

Whatever I would've done would certainly come out better than the official artwork, but as I said, I have high standards. What I am able to make right now would not satisfy me. And I'm going to need to be able to draw girls for my game project, so I need to get on that.

P.S. - I'm back!

"Yeah, like I thought. Go for the eyes."

And just as Kyle finishes saying that, he sees the golem explode into a pile of rubble. He flashes Cadeon a thumbs up. But just as he's getting ready to take his next shot, he is blown across the room, back to where he came from. He rolls as he hits the floor to get up on his feet and looks around to see if nobody is hurt. Seeing that none of his comrades is in need of assistance, he dives towards the wall next to the exit.

"At least we're all in one place, and back to the chokehold."

ACTION: Kyle shoots the chimera, aiming for the lion's neck, then gets back behind cover.

OOC: With their almost perfectly spherical shape, I doubt the bolas can wrap around one of them, let alone a bunch.

Kyle took a peek inside, and quickly hid behind a wall, processing what he just saw. Two floating eyes, seemingly surveying the area. A naga, something he knew was trouble, capable or causing full paralysis on its prey. A stone golem, slow, but nrearly impervious to any attack he'd be capable of. In the middle, a young man stood immobile, certainly haven fallen victim to the naga.

While he was coming up with a plan, Cadeon arrived with a bow. Upon looking inside the room, he dropped the bow he was carrying and his left hand lit up with a white aura. Kyle's vision blurred for a few seconds as the spell took effect. A shielding spell, good start to any fight.

Kyle picked up the bow on the floor. Good quality wood reinforced with mythril near the grip. Not what one would expect to find in an old ruin. He pulled the string to get a feel for the draw weight. Not too different from is old bow. He then looked at Cadeon and raised his hand, signaling him to not move. He then spoke with a low voice, almost a whisper, so the monsters wouldn't hear.

"We're in a chokehold, let's keep it that way. Get your glaive ready. I'll try to draw them here, then we'll chop them up one by one. Our weapons won't do much to the golem, so when it gets here take that wand you have and blast it to bits."

He then took another peek to choose his first target, but this time he saw the young man from before, free of his magical hold, charging at the naga.

"Crap..."

ACTION: Kyle snipes the naga, then gets back behind cover.

As Cadeon catches up, Kyle turns to him.

"You're crazy, but it's hard to argue against crazy when it gets results."

Kyle takes a small pause, nods and smirks.

"You're my favorite kind of crazy."
