    The Prince's Legacy

    Alriiiighty, my entry for Dalaam, I finished up on a cramped airplane which was bumpy and crazy. Of all the places to get inspiration! Anyways. Here's the story behind this one! I have always wondered about the art, culture and launguage of the Dalaamese. I felt that after the events of EarthBound, the people of Dalaam welcomed their crown prince with honor, and great admiration. He had just saved the entire planet from an unspeakable evil (Uhh, Samurai Jack theme here!) which they had called the 'Beast With Many Faces'. The young prince had also united with a young man from a culture that the Dalaamese did not think was honorable of the world. (Eagleland) They had to accept that the Great Powerful Chosen Boy was from this culture, and the young prince had to place his cultural difference behind him and befriend that boy, and save the world. The people of Dalaam then created this mural in their honor, emblazing the Prince and the Chosen Boy uniting, and around them, the dangers and friends they would face. NOTES: I really wanted to give an oriental/eastern feel, as Dalaam is based on Asian culture. It was done with no shading, just solid colors, with markers. I also tried to do the simplest of shapes, to represent the theme with power. Another thing I had to do was create the language of Dalaam, which I tried to base off of Chinese and Japanese characters, but in all honesty, I scribbled lines and tried to make them look like those characters. xD Sorry for my hueg rant, I hope you like this. :)

    Let... ME OUT.

    Despoiled sac of bloat, frothing behemoth writhing in the decay below. Sealed in, captive of the pulsating energy of earth. Contagious wretch, held in invisible magnetic bonds. It soaked them. I grew to hate them and depend on them. And then they were released. Stolen. Its power and its prison. Its inhibitor. Its spawn grew larger and more violent. And its anger swelled in propensity. Too large now to fit through the holes to the pristine world above, it hews its cage away without effort. Great chunks of stone and metal tossed aside, difficulty a foreign notion. All of the filth spilled into the underworld is about to bubble up and rot away the surface. Imbibed in the pestilence of the Rat's wake.

    Not exactly within the theme but I started this before the fanfest and worked off and on, so what can you do? The Plague Rat has always been one of my faves so I’m glad to see another in here too. Anyways, here’s a few extra details in spoiler tags so that I don’t take up too much scroll time:

    The Stinky Ghost that’s sitting in the pipe on the wall:


    Putrid Moldy Man. I didn’t realize the lean I had him on when I took that pic, ha ha.

    I guess the only other thing to say about him is that I know he’s not really in the sewer but he totaly got hooked up with some wicked real estate. It’s also a none-too-subtle nod to the season ;P.


    This is a poor picture, but the filthy attack roaches are in the Plague Rat’s ear:


    Pic of the pipe:


    I wanted to keep the garbage low key because there was a lot going on, but I did make a cereal box:


    The other side of the Plague Rat:


    And a pic of his chompers. I made him a nice slimy tongue. Also, I made the deadly mice more rat-like and larger. I also made them like grow out of his guts because that’s icky.


    And here is another dark pic, and two brighter pics:

    Haunted

    Having only barely escaped the giant rat in the sewers with his life Ness goes to drown his sorrows in the Fourside bar (with a glass of milk of course), but he can never escape his failing of his friends. Looks like someone needs to see the nurse, eh?

    Quintessential Quandary

    Seriously almost everybody else has these walloping bulbous noggins. Only a few guys like Monotoli's security dudes come close to the StarMaster's head. Why is his so small? This has kept me awake at night since I first played the game. Is the true secret of nothingness that your skull collapses in upon itself to fill the void? Or is the StarMaster actually the only normal sized head, and everyone else was just stung by multiple bees? His head seems the most proportionate, after all! I think this is an important topic.

    Elobo: You are not the only one that this has bothered. I have thought about it a lot since I first played it, and I think his head conveys the overall Dalaamian principle of simplicity and removal of worldly things.

    In regards to the size of his head, LESS means MORE. I think it’s Poo’s goal to have a head as small as StarMaster’s.

    The unfortunatly named Prince Poo is the star of the newest post of the Earthbound Scrapbook , Entry #10: Prince Poo and the Sewers Too.

    In this fanfest entry, our Dalaamese friend has plenty to learn about the world outside his homeland, but he proves his worth very quickly. There’s also a giant rat; so that’s cool.

    Enjoy!

    In regards to the size of his head, LESS means MORE. I think it’s Poo’s goal to have a head as small as StarMaster’s.

    This makes sense. Perhaps Poo still secretly harbours desirous thoughts of patty-cake and dx water. He is still a kid after all, no matter the training. As such material trappings lose meaning he will come to embrace the Mu ethos. As his childish notions flee the confines of his cavernous cranium, it will shrink to accommodate.

    Perhaps… his head will be even smaller than StarMaster’s some day.
