To end January on a nice note, I've finished something truly beautiful. Based on the sequel to The Rainbow Goblins, here's artwork I made of Toy Freddy as The White Goblin, a gift to an amazing friend of mine, @NoahReal. I would also like to address...


To @NoahReal: I genuinely consider you to be one of the best people I've ever had the pleasure of knowing on Gamejolt. You have a sense of honesty and creativity that is just impressive. You're not afraid to share what's on your mind, and that's something that even I struggle with. Even ignoring your posts, your kindness and empathy for others serve as a perfect reflection of you as a human being. I always found it really cool when you made a discussion post because it would be about something topical, and it would offer unique insight into something I never would've thought about. I believe someone even called our conversations something out of Plato and Aristotle! I guess what I'm trying to say is: I always liked how genuine you were. You were comfortable with your identity and didn't have to explain it further. Overall, I truly wish you well, and I hope you love the artwork! I would also like to apologize in advance if this isn't to your liking, I truly mean nothing but appreciation!

Secondly, I would also like to credit Mr. Masayoshi Takanaka for his contributions to The White Goblin. If you guys remember a previous post I made around December, I mentioned how Takanaka made an album based on The Rainbow Goblins. Well in 1997, he also collaborated with Ul de Rico to produce a sequel album based on The White Goblin, which was written a year earlier in 1996. Compared to the previous album, which had a very jazzy pop feel to it, The White Goblin album was much more rock-based, with a darker tone to match the book. In particular, the artwork itself is named after the final track in the album "Morning of Creation - You Can Never Come to This Place". The reason I chose that song in particular is because it perfectly represents the artwork itself. After all the pollution went away, the rainbow was reborn and nature became plentiful again. It symbolizes rebirth and new beginnings. A land without man-made (or in this case, goblin) horrors, a beautiful landscape that was accurate to its original name: The Morning of Creation. Here's a link to the album, I'm sure you'll love it a lot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tJW9o3m2mM.

Lastly, I would like to give my utmost thanks and blessings to Ul de Rico for creating The White Goblin! I absolutely loved The Rainbow Goblins, and The White Goblin definitely did not disappoint. For the story, instead of just writing about greedy goblins who tried to steal the colors of the rainbow, The White Goblin was about the goblin of the same name who was born without color. As such, he was shunned by his peers and left to be alone in a land full of colors. To experience the taste of colors, he found a cave full of The Cave Goblins. These goblins had lived their entire lives under a cave, having never seen the sunlight. The White Goblin promised them all the colors in the world if they could help him. They agreed, and as such they went to the surface world and started stealing the colors of the rainbow. However, it wasn't just enough to take the colors, The Cave Goblins also wanted to create new structures from those colors. So, with nobody to stop them, they sucked away all of the colors of the land and used those colors to build huge buildings and factories that would create artificial colors. After a while, the land was almost completely gray, and nature had died out. After all of this pollution, The White Goblin realized the damage he had caused and understood the importance of the natural world. Soon after, a bright light appeared from the sky. It was the rainbow, it had been reborn. This rainbow brought the colors back, and nature returned to its flourishing self. After all of this, The White Goblin reflected on everything he and The Cave Goblins did and understood that you don't need color to be special. It's truly an incredible story, something that anyone can pick up and understand, kid or adult. In general, Ul de Rico is a master artist and storyteller, and I thank him from the bottom of my heart.

One more thing: ABROSEXUAL RIGHTS!
