Hey, guys. Calling out for some help again.
My final exam is on Thursday, and we have to critically analyze our own work in regards to a theme. Of course, I'm mentioning Monster Boy, in regards to its metaphorical characters (the monsters being a metaphor for various themes, without being used purely as plot devices), and comparing this to how other works use metaphorical characters. It's actually really quite interesting.
One thing I'm mentioning is the Nex-Chris project (innovations project) I did this year, wherein I expanded on his design and created a 3D model for him. For the concept stages, I explained his meaning, my intentions for the character, and how
online communities have helped to shape him. That means you lot.
It was really worth mentioning, because you guys have helped me more than you know. I talked about how fans drew pictures of Nex-Chris in various forms, debating amongst themselves what he might do, how he might shift and change, the different forms he might take.
You pretty much did the design legwork for me, because from those designs I was able to choose what I liked and didn't like, which ones were too extreme for example. Thank you so much!
I'm going to be mentioning this again in my exam, so I wanted to ask you all:
What do you think Nex-Chris means? I know I haven't revealed much about him yet, but that's the entire point. Because I haven't revealed much about him, some of you went and made your own designs, which aided me to finalize his design. But I'm very curious about what you think of the metaphor behind him. I may do well to mention some examples of your thoughts in my essay, so please do tell me what you think of him. What the metaphor behind him is, what he might do/what you'd like to see him do, how the other characters will interact/react to him, etc.
Then, after this exam is done, and this final project handed in, I'm officially a graduate! Thank you so much of all the help you've given me throughout University. When I graduate and I have time to work on Monster Boy again, I hope that it doesn't disappoint.

I'LL GET BACK TO POSTING PICTURES AGAIN SOON I SWEAR.
