Puppies (Re)Discovery EP Roulette V.4 (The Final Art!)

[Puppies_On_Acid]

Time for more art, this time for Kingshmeglands album. With this one the first 4 are supposed to be the life of the protagonist mostly through self portraits. Then the rest are my (poor) attempts at emulating the styles of various famous classical artists.

[TAC]

Nothing screams classic like still fruit!

[King Postwhore]

Love it!!

[LithoJazzoSphere]

As a relatively new and untrained art enthusiast, your range is astounding.  If you're ever bored I'd love to see if you can imitate the styles of H.R. Giger and Zdzislaw Beksinski, my two favorites. 

[Deadeye21]

That's super cool!

[Puppies_On_Acid]

I'm back with more album art, this time for Vmadera. The first collage shows the progression of war between humans and AI. The second shows the progression of development of more human-like AI.

[King Postwhore]

Awesome 

[LithoJazzoSphere]

Love it, it's like Alita: Battle Angel in the Terminator universe. 

[TAC]

Love it, it's like Alita: Battle Angel in the Terminator universe.

Yeah that's exactly what I was thinking. 

[LithoJazzoSphere]

I'm kind of floored that you know what Alita: Battle Angel is, unless you don't.      Yeah, that has to be the joke.  But please tell me you've seen one of the first two Terminator films.   

[TAC]

Right, I have no idea what Atilla Battle is.

Yes, I have seen the original Terminator.

[King Postwhore]

Right, I have no idea what Atilla Battle is.

Yes, I have seen the original Terminator.

It's a cool movie Tim. You wouldn't like it.

[TAC]

I actually loved the plot.

[King Postwhore]

I actually loved the plot.

You don't know the plot.

[LithoJazzoSphere]

They crammed four movies of plot into it (and could have easily cut out most of the stuff with the love interest), but the visuals are breathtaking. 

[TAC]

I actually loved the plot.

You don't know the plot.

Yeah I do. It was about a future robot assassin sent back in time to kill the mother and/or the child that would be =come something or other in the future..a rebel leader or something like that.

[LithoJazzoSphere]

I think king was talking about the other one (as was I), but I don't fully have your dynamic down. 

[King Postwhore]

I'm taking about Atilla.  You silly ninny.

[TAC]

I'm taking about Atilla.  You silly ninny.

Oh WTF? 

[LithoJazzoSphere]

Atilla.

[TAC]

They look like the biggest bunch of pussies.

Love it

Man, all of these have been great! Can't wait to see how mine turn out. Not sure I left you enough content to actually make art of though.

Ask and you shall receive!

[King Postwhore]

Oh snap!!  Awesome!!

Holy mother of Skywalker, that's amazing! I see Simple Boy, Traipse and Show Me How to Liveclear as day. Would be keen to know which one gave you the tower of skull though, coz thst's beyond amazing! The Community looks so much better than I ever could have thought!

[Deadeye21]

Hey Puppies, how's it going?

I know I'm not really the one who gets to ask, based on my track record, but are we getting close to results time on this one?

Hope everything is ok and you had a great Christmas. 

[Puppies_On_Acid]

I gotta say depression is a hell of a thing. It's been tough. I actually sit down to bang out write ups pretty much every day, but when I go to listen to the album while doing the write up I find my mind wandering within a few minutes and I only get a few thoughts typed out. I just can't seem to concentrate, I don't seem to have the same eagerness I had when I started the roulette. Of course losing close friends in death will change things, so...

At any rate, I do actually have 2 of the write ups fully finished and some rough outlines on the others. I'm not going to leave you all hanging on this (more than I have, for which I truly apologize), especially with how much effort you all put into these. They will be completed. I wish I could give you a firm date, but I can't.

[Deadeye21]

No rush at all dude, not what I meant to imply. This just came into my mind the other day. And of course, I totally get everything that's going on, and I feel bad to have asked now. Sorry.

[King Postwhore]

Take care of yourself first. We care more about you than the roulette. I'm here if you want to talk. 

[TAC]

Pup, I know I like to harass roulette hosts for taking their sweet ass time....BUT I am NOT doing it when I say this...
You don't owe anyone any writeups. I mean, only Crow and Ariich have a chance to win, so it doesn't matter to anyone else. Let your art stand as your writeups, and I might suggest to say a few words about Crow and Ariich's Concept Albums and call it a day and lift the burden of this roulette off your shoulders..

[Deadeye21]

I actually genuinely feel like a butthole now. Puppies, I'm actually really sorry if bringing this roulette back up feels like a burden. I'd be happy just to see the final ladder and know who won. Write ups aren't necessary.

I think this is the perfect solution.  I wasn't going to say anything and let it go but since it's heading this way, Chris, I'm more than happy not to have a write-up and a score.  I'd actually prefer that.

I'm not just saying that but my album ended up so personal and hard hitting for me and I only did it for me.  I really appreciate you giving me the platform to do it but it definitely was something for me in the end.  I'm not sure if I'd actually like to see a score for it.  I was very hesitant even sending it to you also.

As Tim said, this means nothing and you don't owe us anything.  If trying to complete this is adding pressure, then don't do it.  None of us know what you are dealing with and we never will, but focus on yourself and your mental health and dealing with this. 

My recommendation is try and keep busy and do your best not to overthink.  I had a few days off over XMAS and that was the worst thing I could have done.  Your mind spirals and does nothing to help your mental state at all.  Although, that's probably escaping from your feeling also but meh......Obviously we don't know the circumstances around your friends death and you'll grieve for some time to come but go easy on yourself.  Also, I now firmly believe that death is nothing to fear and I also believe your friends are in a nice place on the other side.  Yes.....I think I'm losing my mind, and my thinking has changed this year.....a lot.

Don't stress over this mate, announce a winner and let it be.  I think I speak for all of us, especially us that have never done this format before that it has been very enjoyable and worthwhile.  One of the most entertaining and fun roulettes I've ever played in.

If you ever need to drop a PM mate, go for it.  I'm sure that goes for all of us.
