Decay ideas generation
What is the definition of retro?
The apparent definition of retro accordance to the oxford dictionary is that it’s an Imitative of a style or fashion from the recent past, (60’s fashion). Retro is short for retrospective, meaning “looking back”.
In gaming it is known as “Retrogaming”, and it is the playing or collecting of older personal computer, console, and arcade video games in contemporary times. Usually retrogaming is based upon systems that are obsolete or discontinued such as the game boy, and even PlayStation 2.

Evaluation
What I need to do next time is that I need to improve my timing. Art wise, it’ll be good if I could dedicate the drawing to fit the theme of decay. Possibilities could be making my background look as if it is decaying or rotting away. Mt drawing wise, would i definitely should try to do better is getting rid of the harsh lines on the outside. I should also try to stop using airbrush tool because the colour of my painting looks faded. I want this to be vibrant and stand out and almost semi-realistic feeling. Over all, I’m not that proud of this final outcome and there’s a lot of areas that I could definitely improve on. To ensure that I improve, I should ask for advice or watch more speed paint tutorials and videos to help me gain more knowledge. I should also try to use a different app with more options to maybe change brush tools and give me more flexibility with my work.
Proposal
Game story-line
Gilakon, a place unknown or written about. Any human that have entered through the gateway of the realm have never lived to tell the tale.
Gilakon existed between time and space. The realm itself was a fast moving spec of blue light that never stops. It travels from planet to planet, galaxy to galaxy in search of new heroes that may one day free its lands from destruction and demise.
5 prominent stones in which shield the world from falling into chaos was entrusted to only the most powerful and loyal of leaders of each classes. They were burdened to protect the stones with their life and in return, the stones gifted their holders more power in which was unique to their abilities. However, the stones were not gifted to all classes.
Within Gilakon lives all together 6 classes.
Galethium – The kingdom of the elves
Agorath – The kingdom of the dragon tamers
Frealia – The kingdom of the seraphs
Ethaydan – The kingdom of magic
Wunn – The kingdom of the martial arts
and finally,
Tharin – The kingdom of the demons.
Jealously, anger, and frustration grew within the kingdom of Tharin in which the realm feared. This jealously and madness nurtured an evil force which threatens to corrode the realm and rot the lands until there’s nothing left but toxic air and death to all life. This fast spreading evil was forced to be sealed away from the world before any further damages were done. The five stone’s purpose were created for this reasoning and together, the five classes formed a bond to ensure that evil will never rise to this realm ever again.
However, this did not last.
Tharin was the first kingdom to ever exist within the realm of Gilakon, but when other kingdom and classes began to rise and build, the kingdom became mad and greedy. “You promise us that this was our world! why did you lie to us?”
Before the existence of Gilakon, the kingdom of Tharin lived in their own world, and their own planet. They’ve formed an alliance with their neighbor planet (Earth), and were very much at peace. However, who they thought were allies turned out to be their biggest fear and enemy. The betrayal of their neighbor planet left the existence of the demon world on its edges of extinction. They’ve lost everything they ever called home, and lost trust of anyone who ever again dared to call them their friends.
Gilakon was a realm created by the galaxies to ensure the safety of fantasy beings. However the demon kingdom did not see this. They thought that the realm was made only to protect their own species and theirs only. They feared betrayal will attack them again, and this lead them into rage, jealously and pure evil.
The gateway, also commonly known as “Hell” in which sealed away the demon world over time begins to lose its durability. The stones that kept away evil mysteriously loses its powers. One every red moon, the stones begin to lose more and more powers. The kingdom of the demons have been though to have gained an unknown powerful evil source in which the realm and kingdoms feared over centuries. They’re left waiting for when the time will come, and when that time come, they’ll destroy everything in their paths just like what Earth and the humans did to them.
