Please note: There has been a large amount of work put into this particular series that I haven't uploaded before.
So the uploads and information will change and be updated as I work further into the project. I have dedicated a large amount of time into this but also know that I need to share it, including back when it was still very rough around the edges.
Below this I go over a bit of details about my CURRENT comic book project.
If you scroll down, you will be able to view information about the 2016 card project. I have no passion for this card game so keep that in mind as you read through it. I will however provide a gallery with images and art from 2015-2016.

I have created a few soundtracks for the series, however too much time has past since then and I am now too busy with my artwork to really get back into creating music.
I don't use soundcloud. However, I have taken the time to upload the tracks that I have done a year ago to share them here.

The tracks below here are much older. There is one that is only 6-7 years old. Because of this I am only sharing a handful from this set with one newer one into the mix.
I know I am not good at this. I don't really care and sorry if this comes off the wrong way to people. But I have had people tell me I couldn't do this or that...
And I'm just tired of it in general.
So please DO NOT send me emails or messages about being a music creator or pitching your work to me. I am NOT LOOKING FOR ONE AT THIS TIME. THANK YOU!

Umo Beast Chronicles (Or just "Beast Chronicles.) is a comic series that I started working on years ago. One of the first few characters that I ever created, Bruton is one of the many characters that appears in the series with more to come including more recent characters that I have created.
Many include Casty, in both her feral and regular forms. And also Lugatras to name a few.
I have taken a large amount of time to fully flesh out the story along with creating scripts and plot points for the characters involved. This will be an ongoing project and one that may or may not be finished, depending on what happens in the future.

Umo Beast Chronicles features a cast of feral/anthro animals and creatures. There are fully anthro characters in the story as well who are called Gatekeepers.
Bruton and Inferno (featured below) are the first two characters to be introduced along with their gatekeepers Shager and eventually Clasko.

Gallery

This gallery features artwork that pertains to my CURRENT version of the series. The card game related work can be found before this.

It is still difficult for me to even type out information about this time period of the project. For a more personal take, you may view my About Me section. I do share personal details of what went on during this time and why it never got off the ground.

TL;DR: I was with the wrong person. Mistakes were made and time was wasted. I never planned or wanted to create a card game with my characters however I am still open to the idea. Based on what I remember and files that I have this is the basic run down of the game.

CONCEPT VIDEO

The video that you see here was created in 2016. It was created using Adobe After Effects and during the time in which I was doing everything else. The final product could've been better, but I simply had too much on my plate. I had no "direction" when it came to how this should have been created. I had to go by what I thought was best. This should have been handled by another artist or a whole team. Looking at it now, there were a LOT of mistakes made while animating it but again, I was going through a rough time in 2016. It basically explains the game in a more animated manner. This along with a lot of things had made me stop doing video editing in general. Towards the end, the boxart and prototype cards can be seen. Sadly the footage is a bit grainy but you can still make out a large portion of the details.

To the left is the final version that would've been created if proper mock ups were done with someone that had an actual eye for the layout and lettering of cards. While I have improved even beyond this, this was very new to me back in 2015 and 2016.

Rules were created and were based on D's very poorly made write out. I did a much more refined version of it but I am not sure if I still have this file.

You may view it via here.

The concept was this: the battles would happen seamlessly without any pauses. The damage counts would take place all at the same time. So you don't have to wait for "a turn", the turn would happen as the other person starts it.

The cards were grouped into the following:

"Beast Domer"
I have since discarded this wording but that it what was used to describe the main characters of my comic series and my personal characters. Tyku is a  "Beast Domer." They are the strongest and are able to unlock a special ability if paired with the right gatekeeper. Only one could be on the field at a time, along with their partner. The next is the "Gatekeeper."

The Gatekeepers would be the second strongest of the lot. They have moves and abilities tailored to them based on their background and stories that I have made in the comics. The Gatekeepers are mostly anthro but come in different looks and styles.
Next are the monsters. I basically took a bunch of drawings that I did in highschool and did a heavy revamp on half of the creations. They will be featured in the gallery below.
Monsters come in the Bronze and Silver categories with Gatekeepers being Gold (mostly) and the Beast Domers being Gold and Platinum. Ranking is there to give the player an idea of how strong the card is. The same is applied to the other card types.

The information is lacking due to me having little to no passion for it. Once it was over, I discarded any cards printed and decided to simply forget about it. However, I will be showing what I have done since, I may revisit it with more experienced eyes. Expansions were planned but never went anywhere. There was even talk about making it into a 3D or 2D video game but with me doing all of the work and having to learn my way into Unreal, it was doomed from the start. I may revamp some card designs to showcase at conventions but any interest in creating an actual game is gone at this time. So please, don't even mention it to me. Don't even talk about creating a card game with me. I have no interest.

Below is the player map that would have been used when people brought the starter decks. Keep in mind that this was back in early 2016. I would be able to create a much more polished map design at this time.

I will create a gallery soon.

WEBCOMIC 2013-2014 GALLERY
OUTDATED

This gallery features the comic in a more webcomic format back when I was still very new to it all. A lot of the design and story has been updated and most information shown on here is outdated. Regardless, I am posting it here to show how I got started and how much I have improved. :)
