Twisted Voodoo

Holy....mother...o.o... I'm truly speechless about the way this looks, I've tried to get people to catch my mood setting before and the voodoo vibe, yet no one has ever come close to achieving it. You sir, have nailed this, dead on, unlike anyone has ever done before and its completely breaking the lines of anything I could have ever imagined. The art style, the shading, the sheer art form of it (I just woke up and saw this mind you to, so my mind isn't blocked by a train of thought right now) all combine into some wicked, twisted beast that is this art. I am absolutely SHOCKED by the quality to this, so much so I'm afraid to view the full size image on the fear of becoming blinded by its excellecy! (too much, I know but it truly is hard to describe this) You have an art style of which I haven't seen in quite some time, at least quite not like this. I cannot do anything but thank you, but perhaps I can work on a song now, and see how I can work your name into it somehow, to at least give you credit for this. Jesus man...I have to do something for this, perhaps a song will be enough to equally match the epicness you have created. Simplistic, yet it screams "WHAT NOW?" heh. Let's see what I can do. Edit: Woah, woah, woah, wait, thsi is a concept? Jesus boy, what are you trying to do, kill me? I was impressed by this and your saying its a concept? If your doing the voodoo skeleton, then perhaps some tiny green glowing lights in the center of the eyes, and the cigar, but other than that I see nothing else!

oh my that's sexy

Chapter VIII Nostrum let out a heavy sigh, looking out into the darkness, only the fires and burning building shedding light on the death around them. Time seemed to slow for Nost as he looked at the damage, and the bodies, more and more seemed to litter the street every second. Nostrum's eyes fell on a teenage boy, no older than twelve, gripping his stomach, his torso and arm burned and beyond repair. The young boy was dead. Nostrum looked to his right and saw one of the woman's soldier's slash a mage in the chest, ripping apart his skin, stumbling back before the twang of a bolt sounded, crushing the mage's chest as he fell to the ground, dead before he hit. Nostrum then looked ahead, and saw one of the woman's men, falling to his knees, his face turning icy and white, freezing solid before shattering by another mage nearby. Nostrum had never seen anything like this in his life...never... Once more Nostrum looked to his left, and in the deep darkness he watched as Keith pulled his sword from the belly of a mage, punching the man with all of his might before turning, facing yet another mage. "Violence..." Nostrum spoke to himself, "Violence is all my life has ever been...I just...I want it to stop." Nostrum looked up and grabbed Cog-head, and stepped towards the nearest mage and said nothing as the massive Iron hammer crushed the mage's shoulder, and like a chunk of clay, the mage folded in two as Nostrum lifted his hand again and with another amazing strike put the mage out of his misery, collapsing his head, slamming him to the floor. "Nostrum!" Keith screamed, a few yards away from him, "They are thinning out! WE CAN WIN THIS!" Nostrum looked up to Keith, watching as he turned towards another mage. Keith was a natural it seemed. Nostrum thought as he watched Keith dispatch another mage as if they were nothing! "Nostrum," The woman suddenly said, her hand on his shoulder, "I am so sorry. If I would have executed you, my men, or myself wouldn't even-" "Save the shit." Nostrum spat, throwing her arm off him. He turned his head, his left eye piercing both of her's. "Violence only brings more violence." Nostrum said before turning away, targeting another mage, "But if that's what it takes," he told her, bringing the hammer up again, "Then its just what it takes." Nostrum left the woman behind, and charged down the mage who was dragging a woman from one of the houses! "YOU THINK THIS IS FUNNY?!?" Nostrum cried, rage filling his body, "You think you can just do this?!?" Nostrum pressed his wait forward and held his feet firm, and slid across the ground, dust, flying into the air as his hammer fell from over his head, the iron head swinging under his side, up under his legs catching the mage in the chest! Nostrum fell forward, letting his knees loose, and with simple momentum slammed his knees into the mage's chest knocking him off the woman and into the side of another building! "GAH!" The mage screamed, pain surging through his chest as the massive man landed on him, "Please, no!" Nostrum shook his head, and spoke: "There are choices. And there are decisions. No good. No Evil. Just your choices and how you live, and die by them. This is your choice. Die by it." The mage tried to scream, but couldn't before Nostrum's massive hand grabbed his for-head and with all the force he could muster, slammed it against the stone wall, cracking his skull, blood pouring on the wall. Nostrum looked at the young man for a moment. 18, 19 years old? Maybe. "Too young for this shit." Nostrum said quietly as he rose up and realized that the sounds of fighting had stopped. He turned around to see the remaining soldiers looking at Nostrum, tired, burnt, and injured. Allessia looked on from near the entrance of the settlement as Keith came up behind her, and sheathed his sword. All at once the men began to cheer wildly for Nostrum! The clapped their hands and whistled and cried joyfully at the defeat of the mages! Nostrum, however was not impressed. "What the hell are you all cheering for, HUH?" Nostrum screamed, throwing Cog-head to the floor, staring at the quickly quieting soldiers. "Is this what you like? Is this what you want to see? HM? I tell ya what, you come over here, and you look at THAT-" Nostrum said, pointing to the young mage, dead on the wall, "And tell me if that shit is worth celebrating, because to me, I just murdered a young boy and snuffed his life out form underneath him! How DARE YOU think any of this is worth celebrating!" Nostrum stomped to the corpse of the young boy and snapped, "LOOK AT IT!" as he looked at the young boy himself, "Yeah, your right, your totally fucking right, that's worth celebrating, you fucking morons, yeah, that, RIGHT THERE-" Nostrum creamed, his beard quivering with the rest of his body, "Is worth rejoicing about. You people make me sick. Completely, and utterly sick." Nostrum shook his head twice and walked away, leaving his hammer behind, leaving the soldiers, and everyone else, stunned, unable to speak...

CALL 1-1-9, SOMEONE CALL ONE-ONE-NINE! Hurry!

If it's the type of mod I'm thinking about you should only have to unzip the modpack.zip and drop the armor stand zip file in there and you would be done! YOU LAZY BASTARD! lol, I'm sorry, I don't mean that there are a few mods I would like to have as well, but I'm too lazy to install them myself, though I know how ;p You are not alone!

I always found it incredibly difficult to find balance between engineers and mages (EE and IC2/BC) when doing factions on our tekkit server, because by the time the engineers had set ups that would work for them, those who worked with EE always had everything and more! So it usually came down to getting quantum armor before your city was destroyed by a pack of raiding mages, and trying to defend yourself. It made for good fun though, at least for a while. I hope they balance it out in the future where both sides are more balanced and such.

hm, never tried it, one of the first things I always do is build a demonic temple and construct the nether portal, run in and immediately begin running, screaming and crying until I find glowstone, break a few pieces and run all the way back, leaving a "Dirt trail" behind me as I make my way back to my portal ;p

There is also the extremely long process of using UU matter to make glowstone, but I think you have to go to the nether anyway to get glowstone for some of the recopies so I'm not even sure.

Then I don't see any reason why the OP should be worrying as much as he is.

I'm glad I held my tongue earlier, I was going to comment something about one of his post around the bouts of "How can I help you if you chose that type of avatar and message" type deal. I"m glad I didn't now. If someone were to "earn" that, is it possible to fix it, or do something that gets that status removed? I'm curious is all.

I can't believe the progress that has been made on this, you have devoted yourself to this for quite some time and most people would have given up by now. However you still give updates, screen shots, and other information that has been helpful to everyone. Thank you for your incredibly hard work, and I cannot wait to use this pack!

Doesn't matter to me, this is a showcase after all! Show it off, but if the resolution is higher than allowed on the forums, (Unless I have missed something important here) just let me know and we'll get something worked out, but regardless you show off all your work, nevertheless.

Chapter VII "EVERMORE WILL NOT FALL!" Allessia shouted, looking back to her men, watching the mages tear through the scaffolding, ripping it apart as if it were nothing...it was nothing. No matter, I will not let this city fall. Allessia thought to herself, pulling the sword and knife, staring into the night. "READY!" Allessia commanded, her men armed and ready. The Mages grew closer. They were their target, they knew if they killed the only thing in their way, the settlement would not be a problem. "Crossbowmen!" Allessia shouted, raising her diamond sword into the air, "FIRE!" The bolts soared through the sky, and into the darkness, and the sounds of flesh and bone cracking echoed throughout the night. "No mercy, take them out! Charge!" Allessia broke into a full run, glancing behind her, looking at the two mages arguing. One of them had a hold of the other man's arm, trying to pull him away. The older man looked rather defiant. She quickly shook away the thought and ran towards the broken and burning Blockade, and found the first mage, a skinny runt with a look of wild power in his eyes. Immediately he turned towards her and fired a fireball from his hands, that sailed over Allessia's shoulder guard. This was the moment. "Oh shit!" The mage cried, turning to run away, but Allessia was too fast. The mage took two steps before Allessia reached forward, and with all of her strength slammed the diamond dagger into the mage's back before using the sword, arching it above her head before slamming it down on the top of the mage's skull, snapping away the mage's life, spurting blood from the top of his head as Allessia kicked the mage off her dagger, and sent his body pummeling to the ground. She flicked her sword in her hand and watched as the blood flew off and splattered on several grass blocks like a pattern of redstone. "Lt.!" Someone screamed, just in time for Allessia to turn and throw her sword into the air, clashing it on another sword! She barely had time to close her eyes from the sparks before being kicked tot he ground with an incredible amount of force! Despite the pain she rolled backwards, and onto one knee, to watch a rather large man in full iron armor quickly stepping towards her! "Stupid." The man said coldly before swinging the sword quickly to his left before parrying to the right! Allessia threw her shoulder plate up and into the way, more sparks lighting from her armor as she used the momentum to stand and face the man. "Surrender now, or prepare to be executed under the order of the Therran Army." Allessia spoke, her words cold, yet forceful and very commanding. She flipped the dagger underneath her wrist, preparing a different stance, while keeping her sword in front of her. "Tell ya what," The man snapped, circling her like a wolf, "No." In an instant, his hand swung in front of her, and at once the ground lit up in an arc in front of her! Flames hid the man as he let out a large, hearty laugh! "If your what I'm to expect from the mighty Therras, then we over-estimated you!" "I gave you a chance." Allessia said before throwing her weight forward, thrusting herself over the fire and behind the mage! She swung the dagger, slamming it into the mage's armor before quickly turning, slamming the sword into the armor as well! "Back off you loud mouth bitch!" Suddenly A sound like thunder exploded from the man as Allessia was thrown off the mage and into the scaffolding, collapsing all of the blocks around her! "AND DIE!" He threw his hand forward, more flames exploding from his wrist, firing onto the ground, catching her legs on fire! "NO!" Allessia screamed, rolling out of the way, while trying to put the fire out! She sat up, trying to pat the flames out but the mage slammed his knee in her face, knocking her back to the ground! "Fuck!" Allessia said, once again ignoring the pain, rolling and standing before the mage. "What are you?" she snapped, looking for her weapons that were no where around her. "You must think your high shit, with your special armor, yet you die just like every other piece of meat here. Useless." The mage spat, pointing towards the guilded armor. "Heh, 'bout like a woman too." The mage smiled, watching Allessia glare at him. "What? Hurt your feelings? Aw, poor little loud mouth bitch." The mage disappeared, reappeared behind Allessia and swung his sword, but fortunatly Allessia was prepared, and threw her wrist guards in the way, slamming the sword out of the way and spun, slamming her plated elbows intot he man's unprotected face! "Off with you." Allessia spat, throwing her leg forward, slamming the mage to the ground! Allessia quickly raised her boot and careened it into the mage's skull who rolled over to his side. "You have no idea what I have been through to get where I am now-" Before she could finish, something slammed into her right arm and shoulder, and she couldn't move it. Immense cold and numbness covered her arm as she looked to find it completely in-cased in a block of ice! She turned to face the second mage only to find the mage impaled by a crossbow bolt. She turned back tot he battle-mage, who was slowly making it up to his feet. "Tsk, tsk, tsk, you little rat." He said, his back to her, "You've lost control of everything, haven't you?" Allessia looked around, and found her sword, a few meters away. "Yet you still think you can rule us all..." Flames began to encase the mage, covering his body as he stood! "You don't." The burning mage turned towards Allessia, a bright glowing jewel encased into his armor. "Volcanite...sucha beautiful thing." Allessia glanced at her sword and back to the mage. "Now what? Hm?" Nostrum brought the hammer up, the massive Iron head slamming into the Mage's jaw, crushing it, teeth and blood exploding from the mage's jaw as he sailed backwards, slamming into the gravel path. He had lost track of Keith and was fighting his way to the Scaffolding, back tot he boy. "You hang on ye hear me?" Nostrum said aloud, "Ima coming!" Nostrum broke out into a run down the street, passing dark and empty buildings, and watching as a few buildings burned closer tot he entrance. "Nope!" Someone shouted, and Nostrum was thrown into the air and slammed into a concrete wall before hitting the ground with a heavy thud! Nostrum looked up to find a mage in black robes holding his hands together, dirt and pieces of gravel whirling around his hands! "WEE!" He screamed, letting loose of the spell, a massive surge of wind launching Nostrum up through the air, slamming him back tot he ground again! "This is fun!" "STOP THIS!" Nostrum screamed, scrambling to his feet, hid hands gripping Cog-head for dear life, "You don't have to do this!" "That's the thing, I want to!" The mage let loose of another spell, and suddenly the ground began ripping up blocks of dirt and stone, whipping them around like a flail, screaming towards Nostrum! "Shit!" Nostrum cried leaping to the side, watching the tornado whiz past him, slamming into a house, the blocks of stone ripping the house apart! Nostrum ran out of the corner, his hammer high in the air and charged, he had no choice! The mage saw Nostrum Runing and clasped his hands together again! "Oh hell no!" Nostrum screamed, and with all of his might chucked the hammer, right at the mage!" The mage was quicker, and the spell released, the wind launching the hammer back at Nostrum! Nostrum could not move before the hammer crashed into his armor with a sickening thud, splitting it in two and knocking Nostrum to the ground again! The hammer landed several feet behind him and rolled before slamming into a nearby building. "Aw, it broke!" The mage mocked, charging yet another spell! Nostrum looked around and in the last second grabbed a chunk of dirt and threw it in the mages face. The mage screamed, letting the spell go, the wind slamming into the side of the building, blocks of stone and wood exploding from the house! Nostrum watched one of the stone blocks fly from the house, slamming into the mage's head knocking him on the ground, twitching violently. Nostrum forced himself to stand, and saw the damage. The top of the mage's skull had been knocked clean off. He was dead, no doubt about it. "Hammer, hammer, I need my hammer," Nostrum said quietly looking for his weapon, spotting it sitting along the side of the wall. He grabbed it and broke off into a run again, running to what was left of the barrackade. As he neared the entrance he saw the woman facing another mage that was on his knees. She apparently knew how to take care- Nostrum watched as The man burst into flames, standing to his feet in front of her. "Oh shit." Nostrum breathed, watching as he began to taunt her indiscriminately... "Tsk, tsk, tsk, you little rat." He said, his back to her, "You've lost control of everything, haven't you?" Allessia looked around, and found her sword, a few meters away. "Yet you still think you can rule us all..." Flames began to encase the mage, covering his body as he stood! "You don't." The burning mage turned towards Allessia, a bright glowing jewel encased into his armor. "Volcanite...sucha beautiful thing." Allessia glanced at her sword and back to the mage. "Now what? Hm?" Allessia jumped and rolled, grabbing her sword before scrambling behind some logs before a ball of fire exploded from behind them, catching the entire stack of wood on fire! "Shit!" Allessia hissed, the sheer heat causing her pain, but the fire was causing the block of ice to melt as well, that was a plus, right? "Now." Allessia said to herself suddenly using her good arm to throw her self in a leap over the logs, and with a force unlike herself, brought the diamond sword down, cleaving a piece of the mage's armor off as she landed! "You bitch!" The mage screamed, throwing his foot out, the flaming limb slamming onto her chest, flames exploding into her face and chest as she rolled on the floor. "Just die already!" The mage raised the sword and tried to slam it down, only to find Allessia kicking the sword away, catching her leg on fire again as he side-stepped, allowing her to get up! Allessia readied her sword again, ignoring the flames as she stood ready to face the mage who lunged toward her! "No you don't!" Nostrum screamed, grabbing the back of Allessia's armor, pulling her behind him as he raised Cog-head, the momentum of the hammer knocking the sword out of his hand completely! "THIS IS ENOUGH!" Nostrum screamed, throwing his shoulder forward, his massive size and strength pounding the battle-mage to the ground! Nostrum brought Cog-head back to position and said, "Make a move and I shit you not I will nail you to the fucking ground!" "Well if it isn't bait." The battle mage said with a smile, pushing his elbows behind him so he could sit up, almost nonchalantly! "Nice little decoy you are, but if i had known you would be that much trouble, I would have let you die, how many innocents have you killed now? Three, four?" "Those mages are not innocent by any means." Nostrum spat, watching the mage carefully as Allessia frantically put out the flames on her armor. "You have no right to do this, YOU HAVE-" "Shut up please." The mage spate, flames exploding from his body, knocking Nostrum back a few steps, allowing him to stand up. "Just. Shut. Up." Fire began to surround the mage's hands, but before he could move, Nostrum was already there with Cog-head, and with extreme precision, Nostrum laid the hammer down on the mage's knee, breaking it completely, his bones shattering, the sound echoing as bone tore through his muscles and shredded through his skin as he hit the ground! "AHHHHH!" He cried, grabbing his leg, falling back to the ground, setting the grass around him on fire! Nostrum didn't miss a beat as he snatched up Allessia's sword, and stepped on the mage's chest, fire consuming his leg! "I warned you!" Nostrum growled in pain as the fire creeped up his leg, "I WARNED YOU!" Nostrum screamed, slamming the sword into the mage's shoulder, pinning him to the ground! "You're shit-" "AND I DO NOT CARE!" Nostrum screamed, raising the hammer, pounding the handle of the sword, the blade easily ripping through his muscles and slamming into the dirt below! "NOW SIT." Nostrum snapped, stepping away, beating the fire off his leg, listening to the battle-mage scream in utter agony in front of him! Nostrum then turned towards the woman and shouted, "You see? DO YOU SEE!?!? THAT. Is a mage, not me!" His voice furious with rage. "Do not confuse me for them!" Allessia said nothing as she watched the mage switch from his shoulder and to his knee, the flames around him slowly dieing out. "where did you take the boy?" Nostrum commanded to the woman who said "He's in the holding cells for now, its the safest place-" Nostrum began to walk away as the woman shouted, "You have to wait, if the mages follow you then it will only put the child in danger as well!" "I'll kill as many people as I have to to keep that boy safe-" Nostrum tried to say. "Don't be stupid you twit! Think about it! If you kill them of now, the boy will be safer, and we need you now, not later and holding a child, listen to me!" Nostrum clenched his teeth, more anger and sorrow filling his brain. "You're right," Nostrum said, his eyes closed and his teeth clenched, "Of course your right..." Nostrum turned back around and stomped to the battle-mage, squirming on the ground. "Don't you move, I'm not finished with you, or I"ll find some more pointy things to pin you to the ground with-" "Shut the fuck up you stupid little man!" The mage spat, his eyes burning with pain. Nostrum looked up to find the soldiers still locked in battle with the other mages. This would be a long night indeed...

Alright, then if you want to work on something, here's something for ya. I work on a little music on youtube, and I would like to have a picture that I could call my own to attach to my videos instead of hoping the picture I had got for the video has no copy right issues. I would like to have a dark, Voodoo-Inspired picture fort my music, with "Twisted Voodoo Studios" On it. I would like to have the "TwIsTeD vOoDoO" As so, but the rest of the art may be done as is, as you're the artist and should have full creativity on your work. If you decide to do something like this, I can only give you my thanks, but if not that's fine too. Again, great work on your art and I hope to see more soon!

Are you taking request, perchance? I have to admit this work is very nice, and if you are tking request on your free time, I may be interested (If its free of course XD) If not, I have to say, this is some VERY nice work, and you should keep it, you have a talent for this, and the art style is uncommon, at least around me, and it gives it a flair that I don't see in most places. I hope you are very proud of this work, you should be, this spells Quality, through and through! Great job, again, this is incredible!

All the chapters have been updated and fixed for better reading. I've spaced out the first three chapters making it easier on the eyes, I know how the WALL O' TEXT feels when your trying to read, and I have fixed that as well. Also I have fixed numerous grammatical errors, I'm sure there are more but I believe I have the majority of them fixed now. I'll have a new chapter up and ready for you guys to later on today as well! Thanks!

Thanks so much for the sticky guys! It just gives me the drive to keep going! (will be fixing the rest of the quote issues tonight)

Three chapters are fixed, even with some grammar errors fixed! I have three more to go before I start the next chapter, but I have a few errands to run before I get back, and it will likely be tonight before I finish editing, but you all may also get a new chapter! Hope for the best! See you all soon!

fixing the qoutes now, this may take a bit though, as I can only do a bit at a time. (or want to rather)

Hey, Jay? (Hey, look at that it rhymes <.>...-.-) Can you tell me what's up here, and how to fix it please? Even if you say retype the whole damn thing, that's fine, but I would like to know how to fix it. Thanks. Other wise I has a really really broken story... http://www.technicpack.net/forums/threads/apocolypse-the-destruction-of-therras.8337/
