Bent Realm Bites
The 22 by 22

So today I hear on Facebook from a friend - 

“So 22 deaths by gunfire in the U.S and 22 deaths by stabbing in China all CHILDREN!!!! Its a bigger problem here and its time to think outta the box!!!!!” 

then in the comments my friend also said - “12/14/12 will definitely be a day to remember…”

I was stunned for minute because while I am not remotely surprised by what happened, I am always stunned by the sheer volume of evidence supporting my scientific theories. Which I have several. I have always learned new skills and approached life as both a scientist & an artist.

I replied to my friend -

“this actually fits into an equation (quantum physics & quantum mechanics) I developed when I was 22 years old. I just named it on Monday - Theorem for a Paradox Resulting in Perpetual Sustainability of Life”

I am Catholic & a warm hearted person & I have already prayed for the souls of those lost & those they leave behind. But I had prayed for all long ago, already, I knew log ago this stuff was coming, and I have done my best to help where I can, so I cannot shed a tear, for it had already been shed. Part of what is in the works at Bent Realm Studios is building a foundation to help causes that matter to me & other outside the box thinkers.

Unfortunately the aggressive zombie type sheeple are in power across the world. And as this basic physics reaction of cause & effect across the world grows the more awakened enlightened & evolved vampire like folk will rise as the meek inherit the Earth. I am a heretic and there for explore all religion (including atheism - the worship of science & logic) and have found them all to be true & accurate & related. Catholicism is just how I was born & have always been. Religion is Tool, nothing more. The one I utilize best is Catholicism, but I have selected other philosophies that ring true & put them in the arsenal of my mind.

Did you have questions?

New Born (Paul Oakenfold’s Perfecto Remix) Muse off the Swordfish soundtrack

I heard this song right before I read the friends comment it seems appropriate to listen in honor of those 22x22

Story Starters # 7 Meeting in a Graveyard

Your main character has received a secret missive instructing them to meet a shady individual in a graveyard. The note is from a mysterious third party.  Describe the graveyard, be sure to include extra details that make it more unsettling than normal. Have your character discover the secrets of the mysterious third party, the reasons behind the meeting and the sinister stranger you’ve been sent to meet. Bonus points for working tidbits surrounding the epitaph from the picture into the story.

Story Starters # 6 Moon Robot Troubles

Your character runs a small but prosperous tourist destination on the moon, they have all sorts of robotic helpers crucial to operations and as enhancements of the retreat, but lately there have been some problems. Small at first but growing. Going without the robots is not an option for your character. Tell us about your character (maybe give them a bit of a tragic back story), about the place they run and the robots. Take the story through the growing robot problems. Bring in some other characters, guests, maybe a smarmy rep from the robotics company, the non-robot staff members, a troublesome moon safety codes enforcer, and the more personality-delicious robot staff members. Have your character dig deep through the problem, seeking it’s source and try to find a solution that won’t destroy his or her business.

Zombie Apocalypse Survival Tip #8

Raid the library. Reading may seem like a luxury now that people have become hunted prey. But you’ll still want to go to the libraries & grab potentially useful books.

When snagging fiction go light on it, cuz soon as you read that it’s pages will become kindling. Same with other books that turn out not to be useful afterall. Guess you could use paperbacks as crappy pillows too, though. Drool in your sleep and wake up with some new ink even. Plus, even anti-zombie bases will still need stuff propped up.

The goal is to obtain volumes on things like how to build an electric generator out of paperclips, rubber bands and like chipped plates or whatever (too bad MacGuyver ain’t rolling with your zombie killing crew). Books on edible (Don’t eat them poison berries yo.) & medicinal plants, how to do first aid, how to purify water, how to make your vehicle run on garbage. Things like that.

Might be wise to build yourself a survival library before the Zombie Apocalypse even hits cuz ya know these survival tips are coming out in advance. Preferably in a ridiculously well-stocked subterranean super secure survival shelter unless you can rig this library to be mobile and light weight. E-books will only do you any good if you can build that paperclip electric generator and charge your e-reader regularly. We can’t all be photographic memory having super geniuses, stuff will need to be referred to again and again. 

Lots of this stuff would still be useful in all manner of other kinds of disaster scenarios (ex - crazy killer flu pandemic), so it’s not like you’ll come across as too weird…just regular weird. And well it is arrogance to assume all this technological decadence will last anyways, though I for one really do love indoor plumbing.

Below are some amazon links (yes I am using associate links on that) to some potentially useful books you might want around come the zombie apocalypse:

How to Survive the End of the World as We Know It: Tactics, Techniques, and Technologies for Uncertain Times by: James Wesley Rawles

Primitive Skills and Crafts: An Outdoorsman’s Guide to Shelters, Tools, Weapons, Tracking, Survival, and More by: Richard Jamison

Emergency Food Storage & Survival Handbook: Everything You Need to Know to Keep Your Family Safe in a Crisis by: Peggy Layton

The Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection from the Living Dead by: Max Brooks

Although a parody of a survival guide, written by the son of Mel Brooks / Saturday Night Live staff writer, and generally relegated to the humor section, it still looks as though it just might contain some genuinely usefulzombie survival techniques.

10 Animals I’d Never Want to Be

Ok when you’re in kindergarten or pre-school or whatever, they ask you crazy things like what kind of animal would you want to be. Cuz they like to tease you & set you up for failure young. Adults fully know that chances are you are not gonna be a shape-shifter or even the more problematic were-creature. They know this, and they ask you anyways. Feeling like a contrary little dickens, Imma now tell you which 10 animals would NOT want to be. Yes, it is a bit daft as far as diabolical vengeance schemes go, but well, eat my zany vengeful diatribe cruel world!

1. Monkey. Monkeys fling poo & eat whatever they find on their buddy while grooming them. And you are likely to have some nasty buddies in the mix, being monkey poo flingers & all.

2. Penguin. Their habitat is melting, and polar bears travel all the way from the north pole to the south pole just to eat you in all your yummy cute glory. I think they hitch with Santa for an annual penginy feast. They are a bird that cannot fly. Let’s say that again, they are a bird that cannot fly. You slide motherfucker, Imma go get me some nachos! Wait, what do you mean nachos don’t live at the south pole either?!

3. Dodo bird. Aside from being extinct, they are portrayed as deeply stupid in cartoons. And lord knows, it would kill my delicate little girly feelings to be portrayed that friggin stupid in a cartoon. I’m strangely sensitive about cartoon reflections of myself. Oh yeah, & they all dead.

4. Mouse. Mices are kinda cute but they invade your home, multiply & make you kill cute aminals. And they are often found in labs being used as guinea pigs. I don’t want to be that fucked up.

5. Elephant. While I maintain that sneezing with that trunk would be epic, my 3-in-1 kiddie shampoo/conditioner/body wash informs me that elephants use their trunks to snort up dust & dirt for dust baths, I’m just not that masochistic.

6. Pigeon. Yes, they can fly. But they don’t care where they drop a deuce. Ever seen a pigeon’s nest? *deep shudder*

7. Rhinoceros. Unicorn envy.

8. Horse. Again unicorn envy. More than that though - their shoes get nailed to their feet, I don’t want shoes nailed to my feet; another creature that just drops a load where they stand. Since they ain’t all Mister Ed, they can’t tell Farmer What’s-his-face to clean out their stall STAT! Flies like to buzz about a horse’s mouth, nose & eyes, it’s not cool - would make me 10 shades of nuts in 1 second flat or I’d put out my own eye with a misguided tail flick.

9. Deer. They get shot at. A lot. Even though they generally live in a very nice neighborhood. And I’d be overly sensitive about that Bambi cartoon.

10. Skunk. My best defense is shooting a bad smell out of my southernly region?! I don’t care how effective that is against non-car-demony-things, I smell bad then get squished by a Mack truck anyways?! I’d have little choice but to believe my creator hates me & is amused by that. And you know they was a unicorn in a past life but gave the rhinoceroses & horsies too much snark & attitude.

Though ultimately I maintain that access to nachos is alone enough reason to endure the odd trials of having humanity.

Trying to come up with a mental wandering post and absolutely all I can get my brain to respond with is NINJAS!!!
Guess, I’ve no choice but to obey the mind roar. Stylistically their black pajama ensemble has very little to do with what makes them cool. It’s the skill set. Scaling walls, Japanese version of parkour, stealth, speed stamina, tree running, purported mystical moves… you get the idea.
Somehow, in the far superior to reality place in my mind, where awesomeness flows like endless rivers, the ideas are just stunning. For example - in there, all ninjas are epic hot but somewhat shy, they’ve got mad ninja skills so even though cuz of this shyness (the outfit does scream to me - shy introvert loner who most women have no clue are so smoking hot) they are relatively practically virgins. But cuz of mad ninja skills they are stellar lovers anyhow.
Maybe it means there is something wrong with me, that even though I’ve got a boyfriend I’m pretty into, I still can’t banish the desire for this ninja to come out of my head and toss me over his shoulder and flee the village over an inexplicable wall with me, having been lured by the ninja bait food in my fridge perhaps. Ok Admittedly, the ninja food lure is an inside joke between me and a friend, but she totally does read this blog so I’m leaving that line in, and a few minutes before I wrote this post up she told me she lives by my Zombie Apocalypse Survival Tips. This nods for you.
Now that this ninja is out of my system, I do hope my next Mental Wanderings bit is something I can come up with that is not the word ninja. Buwahahaha!! It could happen really it could. Not for awhile though my brain is in the habit of trying to sabotage my inner monologue.

Here’s a WIP shot of my steampunk mermaid coloring progress so far… I hope I remember to work on it this week. There are so many pieces in my Photoshop queue (this consists of a file folder called Projects In Progress in the pics folder) and I’m writing for my novel like a fiend at present.

The original pencils for Ocean Steam Miss are available here.

This is Megabugalypse. Yes I painted him, and I also made up the word Megabugalypse which is really fun to say aloud. 
He’d so go to Tokyo and challenge Godzilla to all sorts of crazy dominance contests: a dance off, a who can squish the most skyscrapers in the next 5 minutes contest, an eating helicopters contest, a who can make the most tiny people run into the ocean contest (I don’t know if Tokyo is coastal or not but they’d do it anyways)….yeah it’d be destructacular :)
Megabugalypse can also be seen in my blog entry Megabugalypse Convinced Me to Get Back into Painting along with the painting I did that inspired him & one other painting I did that day.
