Shalom!
We have unleashed Kochot, it measures slightly past 9 new ammah.
It's a second generation massive black, bred in the way the kabbalah indicated.
May he bring this heresy to an end even at the cost of all living things.

So long!

**Form** · October 18th, 2005, 03:51 AM

**Uziel** · October 18th, 2005, 04:04 AM

AHAHAHAHA! If we get a bunch of gigantic black roosters, I'm going to laugh my ass off.

**redehlert** · October 18th, 2005, 02:40 PM

I love you scumgrinder....I mean that in a perfectly artistic sense. Your concept is slick, great color, layout, etc. No penis envy whatsoever. HAH!
Hey, post some of your work in your profile...be sweet to see more of your offerings.
Peace.

**scumgrinder** · October 18th, 2005, 03:43 PM

can i modify my entry?

**scumgrinder** · October 18th, 2005, 03:53 PM

wait i think i can, and i will, just little stuff

**Mantroon** · October 18th, 2005, 04:31 PM

Well, heres my first ever go at C.O.W. Just something i threw together in an hour at work.

Concept:

Sole survivor of a planet ravaged by a cataclysm of his own making, this entity, flled with despair and rage headed out into the "massive black" (cheesy I Know) of space. For millenia it has roam the galaxy consuming anything in its path, growing immensely, to the point it can consume stars. Its loneliness robbed his sanity long ago as the entity consumes the galaxy.

damn that sounded corny.

Anyways here goes...

SOUR: Nope its totally photoshop. Had some free time at work so i just started doodling directly inot PS, and that was the end result

**sour** · October 18th, 2005, 05:26 PM

spray paint/airbrush stuff or was it done on a computer?
it reminds me of stuff i saw a sidewalk artist doing.

A Massive Black is a golem of sorts, a myth among many cultures often told in modern times around camp fires to frighten those who fear the darkness. They were the bringers of pain and torture, conjured up by satanic sorcerers of the past to bring destruction to their enemies during times of war. The Massive Black was created from sinful souls, thorns, evil that lurked in the shadows, these elements were molded to create a nightmarish creature who’s sole purpose and pleasure was in the tormenting of those who stand in its path. They stand a massive 12 feet tall and seem to float on air above their thorny spike filled base. There is no use in battling one with mortal weapons since they are immortal and regenerate if any of their vine-like limbs are severed. In wars there were legends of these creatures taking out masses of 30 or 50 men at a time. They were the most fearsome of all things that were evil and dark.

haha great metaphor mike!

**Fozzybar** · October 19th, 2005, 10:15 AM

i am officially gone to Prague now! See you at tuesday...have fun with this round...

**Carnifex** · October 19th, 2005, 11:29 AM

Massive Black
is the creature who haunts us most these days. It eats whatever moves and it's tail snatches everything within range. Its poops smell a sweet odor like perfume which make it hard to resist coming closer...
