Humphrey's Journey: an interactive story and unique illustrated book, episode 5

in #art6 years ago

I started this game/experiment/interactive story a few weeks ago, but there's still plenty of time to join! Basically I'm writing and illustrating a short story based on your input.

The original post can be found here.

What it comes down to is this: I'm writing and illustrating a short story in a small, unique (self-made) booklet:

This is the booklet, it measures 6x10cm, and has around 36 pages:

Every episode, you can comment up to three words, phrases, gifs, pictures, ... and out of all the entries, I will choose (randomly, or deliberately) three words/phrases/... which I will include in the next episode of Humphrey's Journey. I'll continue this until no entries are made, or until the book is fully written and illustrated. I may or may not put the finished book up for a #steembay auction, we'll see.

For episode 4, entries were made by @edward.maesen, @fraenk and @deemarshall, thank you very much! I decided to use these three entries in this next episode: "escape", "the resonant frequency of hedgehogs", and "bloody murder!". And I simply had to use "chainsaw" and "13" as a bonus!

So far, I didn't reward any valid entries or participants because I wanted this game/experiment/interactive story to stay just that - a fun experiment and not because there's something to be gained for entering three random words or phrases. But since @deemarshall, @edward.maesen and @fraenk have been commenting and playing this game consistently: you three can expect a little SBD coming your way. Thank you!

I may do this again if Humphrey's Journey keeps going strong. So, here's how the story continues. Leave a comment with three words/phrases/gifs/... to continue the weird story of Humphry!

Humphrey's Journey, Episode 5:

Having escaped from Abduction Alley, thanks to my Spanish Doppleganger, I was now on my way again, to find my Love Marjory, when...

Suddenly...

"Bloody Murder!"

was shouted along the resonant frequency of hedgehogs.

I picked my chainsaw and...

Thanks for the reward! :D

"light at the end of the tunnel"
Nordic alien in USAF uniform
dimensional rift

You're welcome, thanks for the weird and crazy suggestions!

well... these are the kind of things you shouldn't be surprised to overhear in a local grocery shop here in Mount Shasta :D

The game is going well!

Here is my entry:

Phrase - chainsaw massacre

Word - horror

Number - 13

Thank you for the reward idea. That's a nice surprise :)

Awesome, thanks again, the story continues! :)

hahaha... brilliant... bloody murder along the resonant frequency of hedgehogs... is that typically what happens when one leaves Abduction Alley?!

So I haven't been having much time to steem in the last days, so it actually took me all the time until now to see that I've been generously rewarded for being part of Humphrey's Journey.

So yeah... I have to stay in the game right?! I owe you ;) Here's what comes to mind while meditating over the fullview of this sketch:

  • Scotland
  • Brandon Lee
  • 波動拳 (hadōken)

Does anyone care how I arrived at that? Probably not, it's so late already...

P.S.: I was trying to summon @bucipuci here by mentioning the resonant frequency of hedgehogs... guess that didn't work...

Yes, Abduction Alley is known for that :D

Haven't had alot of steemtime either, I guess summer has something to do with that!

I presume you got Scotland from the cover, but I'm not sure about Brandon Lee or Hadoken... Care to elaborate? Or let it remain a mystery...

lol, now that you mention... I noticed the map on the cover in an earlier post of the series... but actually today it was the squiggly line you drew here that vaguely reminded me of a map of England, too... I had actually forgotten about the cover already :P

Then there's this bird - like a crow... and we all know Brandon Lee died making that movie... since he's Bruce Lee's son (?) that made me think of Street-Fighter where "Ryu" says that "Hadoken!" thing before making fireballs...

poof - mystery gone!
