Description So one of my illustration classes last semester was all about visiting these five "museums", one a week (there was a local brewery and ballet concert hall but for the sake of the assignment they were basically museums) and making a piece inspired by each one - we'd then present them all together at the end. Well, I did a little more than one piece as you can see (lol), but I wanted to tie them all together in a cohesive world. So the idea I came up with was two cadets on a spaceship had a couple finals they had to study for and waited till the last minute. This study guide was printed out by the ship's AI which can be accessed at any terminal. It's like a mesh of fantasy and sci-fi I guess. Anyways, I didn't have time to finish the comic (I barely had time to finish this, and when I presented it, none of the text was available since I hadn't finished some and couldn't very well only put it out half written). 

Why am I submitting it now? Well I actually never thought I'd get around to it (the original file was well over 600 layers without text, so I figured my poor computer would never manage to open it again). Luckily I was smart enough to save a .psd with all the flat images for my later convenience, but I always thought I'd saved that to a flash drive I lost blah blah blah, and I have terrible naming skills so i didn't even know what I had named it blah blah blah. Fast forward to about two or three hours ago, I was really kickin to draw some of my dragons in a similair (expect that later) so I searched for any unfinished dragon doodles I could use, and this popped up. Since I now know how to do interactive flash comics and I always wanted to finish it, I just spent the last couple hours adding the text etc. No art changes, so you're stuck with the awkward formatting, but I did try!!

Now, it's kinda like an alternate reality to Mysterium. Maybe way way way in the future somehow while also just definitely never happened? This is on an Earth that has always utilized magic whereas Mysterium takes place on an Earth where it's one of the last bastions of magic. Anyways, the "transportation" are named after two actual planes, and all the beers are from a local brewery (they had some lovely names for potions) so yeah!

Expect a lot more things like this - I've been really wanting to share the lore and creatures of mysterium for forever now, but... no time, and until recently, no idea on how to do it interactively (because I want a lil book, right? and also 40 different deviations for info on one thing, yada yada too much) now, I don't know everything I'd like to know (so far all I can do is copy paste some code) but ideally I'll find out how to make an intractable menu button for exiting from any page back to the Contents page, and then intractable links on the Contents page so you wouldn't have to do a bunch of clickin to get to something specific.


ANYWAYS SORRY FOR YAPPIN YOUR EARS OFF. IM SURE THE ABOVE IS REAL TEXT HEAVY TOO. SORRY ABOUT THAT.
