For those familiar with Gears Of War and my Benjamin and Stretch character designs and their relationship, you will get the meaning of this drawing! However, it is a very non-canon idea just made out of plain fun, nothing more. So here's a little story I created at the top of my head!

"In the cozy little house of the Carmine family, Little Benjamin Carmine just happened to playfully throw his "Bolo Grenade" rattler from across the living room. It happened to slide near the Christmas tree, which was consumed by the colorfully wrapped gifts underneath. He was attentive to get back his toy and crawled towards it to get closer to the tree.

Then... there was a small rustle that came from the branches underneath the tree and the sound of a growl came along afterwards.

Little Ben's attention to the rattler was interrupted quickly and he turned to find the source of the unusual sound. He was soon crawling over the red carpet to get underneath the tree, and he was able to find the bearer of the sound. It was a Wretch.

Not just any Wretch, it was a Baby Wretch!

Scared of Little Ben approaching him, the Wretch snarled and placed himself behind the tree bark. Around his neck he had a ribbon, being presented as Ben's gift from his mother to him. But now that Ben has seen his present exposed before Christmas time had arrived, he turned to his incoming mother and said out loud, "Stretch!", which was a mispronunciation from the word "Wretch".

Then his mother, not knowing that Ben was trying to pronounce "Wretch", picked up Little Ben and carried him to his crib to say, "Okay, we'll call your new pet Stretch.""

Merry Christmas you guys, and hope you all have a great Happy New Year! I wish you all the greatness that is going to come next year, and I spread all my love to you all for sticking around this long with me during my absences! I wouldn't have still been here without you guys! Enjoy!

That would be challenging but with Hestia's help my bullet's can probably do something. Not gonna hold my breath on that hope though, bullets hurt non-heavy good, heavy bad for my bullets. Stepping back, my gun barked as a headless corpse flew by before landing. Grendel was pinning an undead animal herd with a hiss as shadow magic ate at their flesh. Without much ceremony or anything I executed the undead animals without blinking. Monster's are the norm here, God's are the norm, survival is law, so to bat an eye at this stuff would be stupid.

Not saying you shouldn't feel anything about it but you can't get your panties all twisted up. You'll just die in a world like this if you do so

Hestia however seemed to have noticed something as a small trail of fire suddenly appeared. Looking at Grendel she shook her body and trudged along the trail of flames. Following after my companion and the godly guidance for a short bit. We came across an unexpected sight, Hestia had led us to find a cub in a ruined building that was on fire. What had lit the fire was a Chimera cub stranded on some old metal shelves in the building, undead snarling as they tried to grab them. The remains of a larger slowly reanimating Chimera turning from its usual vibrant color to that of a Corrupted Undead.

'She gave her life for her child after traveling into these lands to find a home. She knew the Hearth was still pure thus told her child should she fall to the corrupt God's to light a fire praying for family. Monster's…. Aren't all that different from Human's, Demi-God's, God's, and other races now in this world. Put her to rest and take care of the cub please?'

Hearing the quiet echoes of Hestia's voice in my head I whistled a shrill sound while firing a shot at the older Chimera. Blowing one of its heads apart, Grendel with a growl pounced and started thrashing the other undead while I focused on the mother. Firing quickly I killed the snake tail that was ready to strike as the body got up. A good amount of her was just gone, devoured, the corruption dripping from wherever the corrupt husk ate at her flesh. The last remaining head that's partly been eaten snarled at me before it sports a new hole. The undead Chimera dropping, not suffering any longer, not putting her cub in danger, no longer risking them being forced to watch her fate.

Grendel skulked to me with a sad hissing squeak for the mother. Looking up towards the cub I gesture my hand towards them creating shadow stairs for the cub. The cub understandably hesitated at the shadow stairs but came down slowly. It knew, it knew what happened to its mother…. Yet was just relieved she didn't TRULY become what lurked here. Letting the cub have time to mourn me and Grendel silently stood around.

May not of known or cared for the duo, but Hestia had heart of gold to help them. Us? We have a goal but even then seeing how damned this world is. It doesn't hurt to give others some help and mercy… it makes us better than the ones causing this. After maybe an hour I gently picked up the big cub holding, him, against my chest armor then we got a move on. Night was approaching, we must take shelter before then or we'll meet something nasty. Buying a Greek Incendiary Grenade from Hummingbird regardless of the cost of what I had earned. I holstered my gun and tossed the grenade behind us right next to the mother.

"May the Hearth give you respite. Your cub will be safe with the Hunting Hearth."

A rough day but also a rather tame day all in all pretty much. Ducking into an overturned military APC that could carry fifty-six men. I closed the doors and set up camp while setting the cub down against Grendel who curled up. A little cramped in here but it'll do for a temporary camp and home.

From page 196 of Excavator Monthly Compendium. Just one of fourteen potent, must have relics included in this classics sourcebook. This impressive weapon can be loaded with 14 grenades and propel them 500 meters effectively, but up to a kilometre at extreme range. Those stinky skullocks won’t know what hit them!

I'm sure we all understand that feeling when we lose track of something.

Basically just a silly doodle i actually didnt have a plan for what Zachariah would be saying in the second panel it was between this or him telling Salszefar he stole Salsz's boss' car and the boss definitely saw and recognized him. And then a second little doodle comic I did real quick before hanging out with friends cause he definitely just bought the grenade and then lost it in the apartment somehow.

Abit of a expansion on Adrik's profile from the first time I made him.

Name: Adrik Howitzer

Nicname: Adrik, Addy, Addie, Ads, Adriky, Mr. Howitzer, Big Man

Age: 21

Gender: Male

Species: Mobian Bat

Sexuality: Strait

Rank: Warrant Officer/Weapons Specialist

Weapon of choice: M202 FLASH (For emergency or combat use), Spanner, Iron Fists.

Powers/Abilities: Cybernetic strength, Custom weapons, Enhanced biotic sight.

Likes: Time off work, giant guns, blowing stuff up, new recruits.

Dislikes: Broken weapons and tools, Freedom Fighters, multiple things the other legionnaires hate, bears, (mostly wild mobinis or aggressive ones.)

Adrik is the heavy weapons specialist, mechanic and gunsmith of the Demi-Legion's 2nd Strategical Platoon, holding the title of Warrant Officer, he handles most of his chapters heavier equipment, including rocket launchers and grenade launchers, he also fancies using heavy energy weapons at times. He also stands as the tallest and strongest member in his platoon, obtaining the ability to move most obstacles from the path of his squad, he is also gives him quite a strong back and most often carries the chapter's heavy gear and weapons on his back. his signature weapon to use is his M202 "FLASH" a quad barrelled rocket launcher.

Adrik is a calm and harden soldier, while is quite capable on the field he prefers to hang in his workshop and keep his platoon supplied with weapons, Adrik doesn't spend much time outside the base, he only exits it when he needs supplies. He enjoys the company of others, as long as they don't disturb his workmanship.

Adrik is one of the several survivors of a village from a plague known As WNS (White Nose Syndrome) his survival came at the cost of infecting his eye, the loss of his arms and the tragic death of his girlfriend, Diamond. Her loss of life left a black stain on his personality when the anniversary of her death came. It was only a miracle he survived when Anti-Zac came to his dying village to present a cure generously, in return he offered his people including Adrik the opportunity to unite with him under the DEL to secure their safety. Adrik at first denied this choice to join to which Anti-Zac respected, but once he made a second visit to the village with his united chapter to donate supplies while they were rebuilding, he accepted to move on and join up. Over time within the ranks of the Demi-Legion, he rose to Warrant Officer and became a prominent member of the Legion.

Introducing my Deus Ex / Assassin's Creed OC!

Zofie Orel, Born to a Czech assassin father and Welsh ripper mother, her grandparents fled Czechoslovakia when the entire Brotherhood was hit by Templar agents in the mid 80s and settled in the United Kingdom. She joined the newly named Guild of Assassins in London when she was 18. She was terribly injured in a motorbike collision caused by a Templar Hunter and drastically Augmented to save her life with advanced augs thanks to her mother’s connection to David Sarif. She now uses her abilities to hunt down the Templars working with the Illuminati. Her hunt takes her back to her grandparents home and she crosses paths with an agent of TF29 that her guild tells her can be trusted.
Her augs include - enhanced vision including direct link to a small drone, called Zrak, that gives her a birds eye view of situations. A literal hidden blade in both arms, stun/gas grenade deployment from her arms and a cerebral aug that prevents suggestive influence.
What inspired me to make this OC? The concept of - LITERAL HIDDEN BLADES... IN HER ARMS.
These two game worlds actually work so well together! The Templars exist in the DX universe so it's quite easy to splice them together.
I drew this based on a wallpaper of Adam Jensen that has a black version of this background. I wanted hers to be opposite as her augs are white and it represents she is the Yang to Jensen's Yin.

Today's writing brought me right at the cusp of completion, as I hit 49500 words.

But I still got one more chapter and an epilogue, so we're heading to overtime because I'm finishing this story, gdi.

There's plenty of scenes I could've done, and I had planned to do a two stage boss fight, though I decided to cut the second phase out because of how the scene ends means I can just skip things out.

In this scene I depicted, the destruction of the Malus Awakened Heart of Darkness by a toss of a grenade down the pit where all the artificial ichor that the heart was pumping up was located caused it to explode then implode on itself and make a rift into... somewhere.

Everyone braced against it, but Robyn was wounded and didn't had the chance to shield herself, thus she was pulled in.

Red tried to grab her, but it was so close yet so far away.

I also somehow did this whole scene in an hour, so I'm quite pleased with myself.

Long-legged and quick (move 12m per round), bestial human road runners are omnivores with a taste for bugs, lizards, snakes, and rodents, as well as vegetation. They have a sharp beak and talons (SV +7/ DMG 1d10), and react quickly to opportunity and danger (+1 initiative).

Humanoid road runners can fly clumsily with their wing-arms (10m per round), and while airborne can use their misshapen hands, to either employ a one handed weapon or drop a rock or grenade from each hand. Alternatively, they can gain considerable altitude and then stop flapping their wings to bring their hands together to use a two handed device or ranged weapon, such as a crossbow, rifle or bow. When not flapping they drop at a rate of 10m per round.
