Seeker sits down to write a note to Santharian Developers:

"I hope all is well on the development front.  While I don't normally like to be away so long I have found it necessary to hide away in the swamps of Sarvonia in seclusion.  This solitary time has allowed me to produce numberless drawings and illustrations for a treasure hunt story in the works.  However I have taken a break to paint a little of my surroundings.  The Skeetoh flies have been my constant companion for the past weeks, however it is this Bogsnapper that I really wanted to share with you.  Such an interesting creature.  This one was very curious, coming within just a few peds of where I sat."

Comments Welcome

Wonderful, Seeker! A truly great depiction of the Bogsnapper! Especially if you read the description where it is mentioned: "These animals are particularly tame and not very bright." I love its expression looking around, a bit like a duck, somewhat unsure what to do. Could be distantly related to Donald. lol Must be quite a show when the mullogs ride these beasts...  grin

And once again we "kill two birds with one stone" in this one as Seth's skeetoh is also covered. Which reminds me that the German equivalent expression is "to kill two flies with one stroke". Interesting, eh? The Santharian equivalent probably would then be "to kill a fly and a bogsnapper"... ;) BTW: How does one actually kill two flies with one stone? I imagine that's quite a feat!

But rambling aside: Aura +1 of course for this wonderful illustration, Seeker!

 :D  Excellent, Seeker.  Love the bogsnapper.  I wonder, would the placing a skeetoh on the leg of  the bogsnapper, engorged with blood, be a difficult addition?  If so, nevermind.  Just thought it would look cool.  Auried. thumbup

The flies are awful, I will never go there to see a bogsnapper, thanks for the pic and enduring all these stitches!

Lovely, Seeker. The expression on the bogsnapper's face is priceless. Aura.

Thanks guys and gals for the great compliments on this picture.   thumbup

Don't know what compelled me to draw this one, I guess i just thought it would be interesting.  grin

As for killing flies and birds with stones. The key is to use gigglepebbles.  undecided

Talia !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  *Shakes fist in the air*  angry
29 May 2013, 10:03:27
But well, I see you already made an own post - I'll take that one as well then :)
29 May 2013, 10:01:15
No, not necessary... Just wanted to make sure that the text you want to integrate is the final version :) Just leave the rest there!
28 May 2013, 03:57:46
Do you need me to remove the rest of it?  It was supposed to be a full blown entry, but still gathering facts for the other stuff.  I'll move the stuff to be integrated into its own entry.  :)
27 May 2013, 22:46:17
No problem there - are you sure that you've posted the final version? Text on the site is about a year old...
27 May 2013, 16:59:45
Art, I want to submit my Antislar Overview, Appearence, Territory and People sections for uploading on the next update, please. No rush with what you have going on, however.
23 May 2013, 17:14:39
If it works, sure! :D
23 May 2013, 16:47:05
:(  Art, is this your little way of forcing me to do an entry?
