Good Evening from Philadelphia.... One of the things I was working on before I fell ill in Nov-2023 was updating more concept-artwork AND CONCEPTS for specific races within My Storyverse! One of those races are, is, the Slave-Mangs. Now...? This website is 10-years old & as You can see by roaming around here there are entire pages where THEY ARE NOT BEING UPDATED AT ALL, and...!? When you go thru those pages you quickly discover that THEY ARE BASED ON EARTH, not, Nu-Sumar. I've typed about it before, will only type on it briefly now cuz it is a FACT, then I'll move on, BUT!? An undertaking of this size, IF IT IS ABOUT ME DOING IT RIGHT, doing this BY MYSELF...!? It has been beyond time-consuming & difficult, especially TIME-&-MONEYWISE, this is why I've been forced to face down something I WAS ALREADY LEERY ABOUT LONG BEFORE TODAY, which is: My Time that was being WASTED, by being involved with people WHO NOT ONLY WANTED TO BE COOKIE-CUTTER COMPLAINERS ABOUT THEIR LIVES, but also...!? Didn't ACTUALLY HAVE ANY REAL-TALENT THAT THEY WANTED TO ACTUALLY STAKE THEIR LIVES-&-FUTURE ON TO EVEN ATTEMPT TO MAKE THEIR TALENTS, THEIR DREAMS...!? A Reality. As some of You reading this, know firsthand, it is VERY DIFFICULT to turn YOUR DREAMS, into Reality. It CAN BE VERY DIFFICULT, to BANK YOUR FUTURE ON YOUR TALENT/S & not follow the "Beaten-path of Predictable-Life". This is also why My Ex-Wife is STILL BITTER AT ME, for daring to finally wake-up to the Fact that she DID NOT WANT ME TO GO-&-GROW ANY FURTHER THAN I'D ALREADY DONE. Meaning? Much of what You see across this website IS ONLY HALF-AT-BEST of the material that SHE THREW OUT when I CORRECTLY REALIZED that I needed to divorce Her & take My Son with Me & move on, something SHE SUGGESTED, by the Way. Which is laughably-ironic, because of course she was lying. What is thee...? RELEVANCE, to any of this, like the Man said.... One thing I was concerned about in 2000 & 2001, was BURNOUT. If there is a MAJOR ISSUE, especially for creatives, it is BEING SURROUNDED BY TOO MANY PEOPLE WHO ONLY WHINE ABOUT HOW SHIT CAN'T BE DONE & ARE ALWAYS GETTING UNDER YOUR FEET, with the FULL-INTENT, to UNDERMINE YOU, so that YOU STAY WITH THEM, wherever Their Defeatist-Asses, HAVE DECIDED TO PLOP-N-FLOP THEIR DEADWEIGHT-ASSES DOWN AT. And I type that the way I've typed it ON PURPOSE. Because one MAJOR ISSUE I was concerned about BACK THEN, where it has been BITING ME IN THE ASS SINCE 2013, is MY AGE, AND MY HEALTH. Spending GOOD-YEARS, being PRODUCTIVE-&-CREATING, but being INVOLVED WITH NON-SUPPORTIVE PEOPLE, takes a TOLL & EATS UP TIME TOO. The Situation that happened in Nov-2023 which I typed to You about in yesterday's post, is a moment that I FORESAW, way back in 2000-2001, where I was concerned about HOW I WOULD AGE, based on CURRENT-EVENTS OF THAT TIME. And I had to learn the hardway that, and yes I typed hard way, as one-word, hardway. You can't be a BLACK-PERSON WITH ANY KIND OF ACTUAL TALENT & BELIEF IN THAT TALENT & THEN BE SADDLED-UP, SHACKED-UP, LOCKED-UP OR LOC'ED-UP WITH ANYBODY WHO ISN'T HELPING & IS INTENTIONALLY HINDERING WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO. If Race bothers You, I know it's been a while, but just as an FYI, I do NOT, fuck-around & pretend like Race doesn't matter, Race isn't important & Race DOESN'T IMPACT THE WORLD AROUND US. If YOU DO, good for You, THIS IS NOT THE PLACE FOR YOU. And THAT'S FINE! Go and enjoy YOUR LIFE, best to You, BUT HERE...!? I do NOT BULLSHIT. Like I typed yesterday I grew-up fighting in Race Wars with Whites here in America, I have NO TIME FOR FAIRYTALES & FUCKERY OF THAT KIND. With that TYPED, putting all of this together as a 1-man show is not & has not been an easy task! I've had to go thru a LOT of extra-curricular shit to get this far, which is a MASSIVE REASON WHY I HAVE NOT QUIT. Now that I'm back on the Horse I've had about 5-hours of sleep over the last 2-days, because I'm CATCHING-UP ON THE WORK THAT COULDN'T GET DONE & SHOULD'VE GOTTEN DONE OVER THE COURSE OF NOV-2-DEC OF 2023! Of course I have to TRY TO BE MINDFUL OF MY HEALTH, where this is & was The Point, of Me typing what You've read so far. MY HEALTH, was better in My Early-30's, which was WHY I was trying to PEACEFULLY DIVORCE MY NOW EX-WIFE, however, she wasn't gonna let it go down that easily or smoothly, nor be an adult about the entire situation, AND SO...!? It cost Me TIME. Time where MY HEALTH was BETTER. And MY ENERGY-LEVELS & ABILITY TO LITERALLY GO DAYS WITHOUT SLEEP, was STILL INTACT, My Point is I NEED THAT NOW & I CAN'T ACCESS THOSE ABILITIES ANYMORE BECAUSE MY BODY IS TOO BROKEN DOWN & MY HEALTH IS TOO SHITTY, and the Caps...? The Caps? Are on purpose. If You find them to be annoying or you are imagining in your head that I am shouting, I can't help you with that, because that is not my intent. Caps, for Me, are for emphasis. So now I take all of the above & now TRANSLATE IT INTO IT, being The Source, for HOW I CAME UP WITH THE SLAVE-MANGS OF MY STORYVERSE, tadaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! -_- Yes. There was a point to all of this that actually tied into the Header, heh! The Slave-Mangs are exactly like what I explained in regard to my own situation & myself. Talented. But always pressed for time & never in a situation where they can flourish to the full-extent of their actual abilities. The similarities end in the Fact that the Slave-Mangs never decide to simply revolt & take the hit of whatever happened afterwards & having to live with that, deal with that. When I created the Slave-Mangs I actually did take exactly what I just typed in regard to myself & my sitch & then look at what happens & what would anyone, any group, BE LIKE, IF THEY NEVER SIMPLY SAID: Fuck it. Cuz I'm not gonna get out of this situation unscathed so I'm gonna have to just rip the fuckin band-aide off & deal with whatever comes next, BUT I KNOW WHAT AIN'T GONNA GO ON ANYMORE...!!?!! THIS BULLSHIT I'M DEALING WITH RIGHT HERE!!!!! The Slave-Mangs...? They never reached that point as a COLLECTIVE, to finally KNOW-&-UNDERSTAND, that IF THEY DON'T FIGHT THEIR WAY THROUGH THEIR CIRCUMSITCH, then...? There was not & never WILL BE, any possibility of THEM, building a better life for themselves based off of THEIR OWN ACTUAL TALENTS. So when I was working on the Slave-Mangs of Snowcrest-Mountains & looking at WHAT THEIR PLACE HAS BEEN IN NU-SUMARIAN HISTORY..!? I realized that the concept-artwork, which you've seen throughout this post, IS ANCIENT. It is ALSO, done based off of THEIR EXISTENCE ON EARTH, which is A DIFFERENT PART of the storyline of this storyverse, so!? I understood that I needed to DO SOME NEW CONCEPT-ARTWORK, and...!? Flesh out WHAT THEIR HISTORY HAS BEEN ON NU-SUMAR, since it was created. Here is ONE of the concept-artworks I did, where THANKFULLY, I didn't bleed all over this one back in Nov-23.... Nu-Sumarian
