Gift for a friend of mine.

Our request for a grant to develop Phase Four of The endless Forest (or The endless Forest II as we are starting to call it) was denied by the Flanders Audiovisual Fund. As you may be aware, any major expansion of the game at this point requires remaking the underlying software in a new engine. The VAF have a rule against creating remakes that they invoked to reject our request. We tried to explain that the purpose is to expand the game and that remaking it is simply a technical necessity to be enable this. But to no avail.

But we have not given up, and are planning to run a crowd sourcing campaign to gather the necessary funds. As we are moving towards a completely non-profit status, however, we will need to wait a bit before we do that, for fiscal reasons. We're hoping to run the fund-raising campaign in Summer or Fall of 2016.

In the mean time our gratitude goes out to those of you who generously contribute to the maintenance of the game's server thanks to which you can all enjoy playing together. Please consider joining them.

Best wishes for the holidays and the new year!

See you in the Forest!

This started out as me trying to finish that animation but maaaan this style takes too long for that.

Ah, guess I don’t post a lot of art here anymore so hopefully a little spammage is okay. Herla and Gehirn are off on travels through Asia, currently they are in India and it’s been fun researching customs and beliefs. So you see there is a story and a reason behind Herla wearing this traditional Indian jewelry. In India women wear a nose ring pierced through the left side of the nose, as this is supposed to make childbirth easier. Thought that was very appropriate given their current quest, so nose piercing it is Herla.

Many would consider me an idiot.
Many would consider me a fool.
Many would consider me insane.
They don't understand,
nor do they care to,
nor do I care to.

Inside me shakes a legion,
my heart pounding with each step they take,
And they march for my soul.

There comes a time when I must sleep
And let these beings, warriors,
angels, take hold of me.
If we get tired of the same place,
of the same person,
of the same world,
Why not tire?
Let it go.

How it had happened, he didn't know. One moment he was with his older brother, watching him practice his magic, trying to learn, and the next he found himself in this strange forest, unfamiliar, alone and scared.
Where could he go? What had caused this to happen? Where was his brother? And most importantly... how to get back home?

---

The idea behind Fylimar is that he was born in a neighboring forest realm and something went horribly wrong with his brother's magic, opening a rift between the two worlds and pushing Fylimar through. He's stuck here now, with no idea how to make his way home.

He's a RP character, as a fawn and when he grows into a stag (and he will be handsome and he'll need a mate! ). Right now though, he's cowering near the Playground if anyone wants to meet him. Be warned though, he's shy and scared right now. XD

In game he can be recognized by the purple flowers and this picto: http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/Karioudo/TEF/picto_Fylimar.jpg


Fylimar is a result of me needing an excuse to make an barn owl-faced deer. I used to play TEF years ago but I lost my passwords and couldn't bother to recover them, so I made a new account, doodled him up and here we go. Once he grows into a stag I will draw his adult form so be on the look-out for that. He's new so he's still very much in development, but I hope you guys like him so far. ^_^
