Jiragon and Getting on Track
Artistic....Still here? Oh goody, I get to tell you the not so important agenda change I've made lol. Jiragon is over and done with. I've decided that doing six full body sketches is just too much when I have all these other things to do that people actually expect me to do. Always being one to prioritize my time, I have ended the Jiragon Sketch Studies at 8 and one full body drawing. Not a sketch, a fucking drawing. Yeah there is solid linework in there doesn't look like it was scribbled with blue lead. So what does this all mean? Well, it means that the sun will implode and wipe out half the solar system in another 500+ trillion years and I'm moving on to the other things in my checklist. Mainly those contest entries I'm sure some of you have been anxious about.
Do you get a movie review today? I'd have to answer that with a big 'sorta'. There's this wonderfully campy film called 'The Beast of Hollow Valley'. It is officially the worst cowboy and dinosaur film ever made. For 3/4th of the film you don't see the 'beast'. Instead you are forced to endure a peusdo spanish soap opera complete with the usual 'little spanish boy' 'white sinoretta' 'dastardly mexican' and 'wholesome lone ranger'. Theres also an elderly spanish woman who dresses like she was sixteen if thats any consolation prize for you. Very hilarious to see an older woman with bright red pig tails. The plot is the usual shit, two rival cattle groups with a white cowboy caught in the middle. Meanwhile cattle have been going missing and the cowboy along with the mexican guy friend and his superstitous father (all wearing sombraros incase you didn't know they were Mexican) are out in a swamp of all things trying to find them. Apparently there is fucking quicksand in a airid and desert enviroment...I miss Gwangi already. Anyway, we are further introduced to the town drunk Poncho, and his suicidaly stubborn sun. Needless to say, sooner or later Poncho goes to take a piss out in the swamp and gets his ass eaten off screen. Little kid wants to see his papa and no one has the balls to tell him that his drunk father is currently a pile of dinosaur beanpaste surrounded by mud...which ironically looks just like the dinosaur beanpaste. I think they spent a good 4th of the budget on the sheer volume of shit the actors had to wade through. Anyway, the kid goes through the Spanish foster child system and he wants nothing more than to go search for his drunk, dead, father in the swamp with fucking quicksand. Mr. hero trys to buddy talk the kid and fails his charisma check. Should have rolled a D20 you shmuck. He also plays the usual 'sorry girl but my balls are too big for one ranch' card on the heroine and gets ready to leave town. Just in time for the heroine's wedding to the 'dastardly mexican', owner of one of the rival cattle groups who trys to use 'free labor' to screw with the other cattle herd and make his look better. While his minions are drinking to pass the time, the beast finally makes his entrance. The excuse is that they were using 'replacement animation'. Basically substituting a different model per frame instead of moving the model's parts per frame as Harrihausen did. Looked cheap as hell. The monster himself isn't all that bad looking, considering its you usual retrosaurus rex. The funny thing is that this one has a snake tongue. I shit you not. This thing is waving his tongue around more often than Jean Simmons. So he eats a cow, causes the herd to stampede through the town, causing a premature running of the bulls. Little Pablo takes the opportunity to steal a horse and go search for his papa in the swamp. We then have what looks like a cancer ridden barney tromping through the muck in search of pubesecent man flesh. Pablo promptly shits a brick and runs for the safety of his dad's shack. Our heroine joins him since she can't possibly get married while all this shit is going on and they conveniently get held under house arrest by officer 'munch your face'. Our hero reprises his role of 'badass lawman' and distracts the big lizard with a pistol, Ironically enough, said pistol causes the lizard to bleed buckets out of his nasal cavity. Gwangi would so kick this thing's ass. Anyway, the side characters make it to safety and the beast chases our hero up the mountain where the 'dastardly Mexican' is waiting for him with the intent of removing his only rival for the heroine's baby maker. The beast notices him first and chases him to the river bank where the villain - and I shit you not - avoids getting eaten by swimming across the river. The racist overtones are just swamping this thing at this point. JP dinosaurs would have lunged in after you and forded that river. Apparently the beast is terrified of water and can't cross something that barely passes his ankles. I wasn't able to catch all of this movie but I'm assuming the 'dastardly Mexican' gets his just reward for being an unsufferable dick, the Hero makes off with the not so latin love interest, pablo finds whats left of his papa, and the beast dies in quicksand. I rate this a 2 out of 5 as its bearable but its bad and you know its bad.

Chapter 1: The Resurrection of a Phantom and Arson
Kurukato woke up as he heard his clock radio making noise, he never knew why he got the damn thing. He used to wake up every day thinking, “When will it be over for Kensis”. Instead today, he didn’t feel like waking up. His clock radio kept him from sleeping until he threw it at the wall, but remembered that today he has to go to Beijing to see Kensis’s dead body. Kurukato spent the past years trying to find a way to stop Kensis from destroying more lives. Ever since the Royale, Kurukato was back to his old job, training newbies. He left for the Airport for 30 minutes and left in the plane for Beijing three hours later.
He finally arrived at the city where Kensis first caused terror to the world, and where his comrade Yi Wan lived. He would be thinking everyday about the incident when Yi Wan sacrificed himself to stop Kensis. Then year’s later terrorists woke Kensis up to try to control him for their own plans, but ended up being killed. He was mad when found out that Kensis woke up from the trench and left into the world, though each year he felt less tempted to kill him for what Kensis did. Today he will clear it all out the best he can to go through the day without sobbing. He entered the building where Kensis was lying dead for scientists to study him for the first time in years.
“Welcome Kurukato, please step over here.” He entered an elevator that was taking him up from the first floor to the platform to see scientists take chunks off of him. Kurukato stepped out of the elevator and onto the platform to finally see the break he’s been looking forward to in years.
“Here Kurukato, is Yi Wan’s dead nightmare.”
“I can see that, but what are your people doing?”
“We’re taking samples from Kensis to find out his origins and how he came to be.”
Kurukato actually had a chance to fully see his body without being blow-up or attacked. Kensis had the color of olive for his body, sage green for his spine, and cyan in his eyes. Kurukato couldn’t see any wounds on Kensis, meaning he’s been only attacked in the front. Plus, he could still see some blood drawing out under.
“rofessor, come look!”
“What is it?”
“We found an insect in his body!”
“What!? Kurukato come with me.”
After looking closely through the feed that the camera tube was recording, they found an insect that has been perfectly preserved in Kensis’s heart.
“What is it?”
“It looks truly unfamiliar to any insect I’ve seen. Trying getting it out without damaging Kensis’s organs.”
“What could it be Professor?” Kurukato asked.
“Obviously none of us know what it is, but in the mean time try to relax for awhile. ”
*Weeks have passed since they discovered the strange insect and they haven’t found out yet what it is.*
Kurukato had been wondering over the past weeks what to do now that there’s nothing else for him to do, other than retire. He only stayed with the JSDF to stop Kensis, but seeing how he’s now dead, there’s nothing left to do there. The media was already spectacled about the finding of the Insect in the heart of Kensis, when there are already enough things occurring in the world for them to know. He never really liked the media. He went for a walk to see Yi Wan’s memorial in the city, he needed to say a final goodbye before leaving for retirement. When he arrived he kept staring at Yi Wan’s statue, he was the best comrade he had ever worked with to stop a terror unknown to anyone except him. Nothing was keeping him from leaving for retirement, he had finished what Yi Wan wanted for him, and now he leaves. Until he quickly received a phone call from the professor.
“What is Professor?”
“Kurukato where are you?”
“At Yi Wan’s memorial.”
“Kurukato you have to return to your hotel!”
“Why? Am I in-“
Before he could finish, a stomp on the ground appeared right in front of the street. People started running while he just standed there like it was nothing new.
“Kurukato, Kensis has escaped.”
“How? I thought he was dead!”
“We don’t know what happened, he just recovered and woke up!”
He hung up his cell phone and continued staring the invisible footsteps, of the Phantom Nightmare.

A good start, The time gap could use a space and could be better worded as simply *___weeks later*. The title is also slightly misleading right now as Kaijuron hasn't been mentioned yet but I'm assuming this is only half of the chapter so KaijuLord is probably working on the other part or something. Anyway, looking good guys.

What do you think is better: having the insect egg injected in Mekag'graggle, The Kaijuarticor or Katherine Worron, the doctor who finds Kaijuron?
