The End
So...that’s it. After twelve long years DOD is finally complete. Out with a whimper instead of a bang, perhaps, but it is what it is. What now then? Well...this little wrap-up has been a long time coming, but I suppose I should start at the beginning with a recap. I first joined DeviantART in the middle of 2009, though I visited the site regularly for about a year prior. I‘d always enjoyed the kaiju genre as a child but had drifted away from it in my adolescence, only for 2005’s Peter Jackson remake of “King Kong” and 2008’s “Cloverfield” to rekindle my interest and bring me back to first the Godzilla movies, and then into the fanmade works of the online community. I didn’t grow up really using the internet so it amazed me to find so many people out there with the same interests as myself, creating their own kaiju characters and worlds and proudly showcasing their creativity; it was great to just...know that I wasn’t alone. It still is. Along the way I saw tons of wonderful art, read
The Reboot
Well it's been a while, hasn't it? Two years...two whole years since I revealed my plans to make Days Of Dikorus into a book series. Things have been pretty quiet on that publicly, but I think it's time to give a big and proper update.
For one, the "Book" isn't happening. Since my decision to rework DOD from the ground up I've come to realize that the setting isn't set up for a book. It just isn't. Books require a concise and focused plot; a beginning, middle, and end. DOD doesn't have that. I feel that DOD is more a place where stories can be told than a story in itself, an empty sandbox where I can exercise whatever kaiju-centric ideas I c
The Book
I have been keeping this under wraps for a good long while now, but I suppose now's as good a time as any to come clean. I'll try to keep this short.
I am in the early, early, EARLY stages of making Days Of Dikorus into a book series. Everything I've learned in the past ten years about world-building, character development, and story writing will finally come into use...for comparison, everything you've seen from me here on DA is but a trial run. Now I'm playing for real. If even half of what I have planned works out, it's gonna be amazing.
=================================================================
Thing is, I think it can be done.
ATI: The Kiche States
(Correct title: ATI: The K’iche’ States)
For decades it was believed that no large preindustrial civilization could survive alongside The Cycle. The K’iche’ States – the greatest anthropological discovery of the century – has defied this assumption, for miles beneath the crust of South America their civilization not only survives, but thrives.
=================================================================
Overview:
— Descended from a subgroup of surface-world Mayans, the K’iche’ are a brown-skinned, dark-haired race physically similar to many Central and South American peoples. They

I'm gonna have to read all this again, but I'm not complaining. This is such a massive world you've built yourself, it's all well thought-out... I'm kind of jealous of you for being able to create something so big without losing interest halfway through, like I sometimes do. XD
