Greetings once more, Moleman-Watchers (all 55 of you)!

Christmas and New Year have come and gone, and during that time my work-focus has undergone another major shift, with Moleman's Epic Rap Battles now being fully back-in-business, at the (temporary) expense of new Nava-Verse content, which I admittedly did not get quite as much of done prior to returning to MERB as I had planned/hoped, in large part because I knew my rap battle series to be long-overdue for resumption, and my closest fans to be growing rather impatient.
Speaking of said fans, here's shouting-out to :iconkingofmustaches:, :iconanax445: and :icondragonsblood23:!

As of this posting, MERB installments #34 and #35 are both fully-released; links to their videos can be found at/in their respective text deviations, which should be visible right beside this text, assuming one is viewing this journal from my main DA profile.

Further battles will be released on a monthly-ish basis up through #42 (the Season 3 finale), with at least one non-numbered special/past-battle-remake being made along the way as well.

An "MERB News" filler video hosted by some obscure character will also probably be made during this coming season; suggestions on what character might be suited for such a video (they would not be in an actual battle)?

Thanks in part to the small handful of votes my recent poll regarding the next several battles has received, what each of these matchups will be is all-but-decided-on, unless, of course, said poll goes on to receive significant additional votes...

Greetings again, Moleman-Watchers (all 46 of you)!

As can be plainly seen with a simple glance at my "Newest Deviations" tab, Eggmen: Mercenary Legends has received a head-start on its revision. The current plan is to spend the rest of December working on both it and Connor Thorn: Messiah (TM), with the goal of having the former rewritten through Chapter 6 and finishing Chapter 10 of the latter at the time of New Year's.

After that, and seeing as ERBOH is now officially underway with its own resumption, January will be fully devoted to the return of Moleman's Epic Rap Battles starting with Chris McLean Vs. Vince McMahon, which I'm confident will make a few particular friends of mine very happy indeed. Be on the lookout for a poll here on my DA regarding other potential MERB installments for the near-future!

Greetings, Moleman-Watchers (all 38 36 of you)!

As of this journal's writing and posting, I have been here on DA with this new account for approximately three months, and right away I can say: So far, so good!

CONTENT PLAN UPDATES:

The Nava-Verse is officially back in business, with several new drawings having been made (and a few more planned along the way to the end of the year; read on) and the new, (relatively) non-shitty Connor Thorn, Messiah (TM) novel being more than halfway through successful rewriting. The plan right now is to have the story, along with some other assorted NV content, finished by/at the end of 2015, A.K.A. New Year 2016, after which my working gears will shift back to the long-awaited (by a few friends, at least) resumption of Moleman's Epic Rap Battles, which will return in full force starting with Chris McLean Vs. Vince McMahon.

After said new MERB wave of most likely five battles (including a special) is completed, probably around mid-2016, the Nava-Verse will be returned to again, and I'll rework and repost Eggmen: Mercenary Legends, whose title will remain as such with its new draft that will be less extensively rewritten compared to Connor Thorn, due to the existing version standing as less shitty than the old version of that story. After that, the aim will be to revise/finish The Jamblibam Incident by the end of 2016, and if I announced any further plans beyond that right now, I would be getting too far ahead of myself.

SHOUT-OUTS TO FRIENDS:

:iconiltassista:, for making several awesome pieces of Nava-Verse fan art, viewable in their gallery.

:iconmastermarquez:, for making a crazy fan art piece of Stusthara, based on the above deviant's own interpretation.

:iconnexuspiexiii:, for her copious support and kick-ass avatar.

:icondeepc:, for being good ol' DeepC!

Hello again.

As some of those who are more likely to be reading this may know, either from having been a fan of mine before or from knowledge of certain unsavory events that are now officially behind me, I have my own original created fantasy universe, the Nava-Verse (or, as it is written in all of my old texts NavaVerse, since it seriously took my dumb ass that long to learn the difference between a dash and a hyphen), which I was once very proud of and enthusiastic about continuing to develop and for which I now intend to revive that enthusiasm going forward.

Having matured a fair bit since I previously stopped working on the project, I plan to take the first new big step forward in the form of a step backward by rewriting my first "novel", which in its current form is/was known as Connor Thorn and the Film Reel of the Cosmos and stands/stood as a nonsensical mess... and why wouldn't it be a mess, considering that I started writing it when I was only sixteen and before cementing my overall concept/plan for my "franchise"?

I also intend to FINALLY finish the story known as The Jamblibam Incident, which has stood as unfinished for almost two years now and is not currently posted anywhere, likely with some major reworking of the previously "completed" parts as well, seeing as the main reason I never finished it in the first place was because I honestly had no idea where the ending was going and had basically "written myself into a corner". Even my most "complete" existing story that I remain the most proud of, Eggmen: Mercenary Legends, will likely see some major revisions, especially for its early chapters, whose depth and quality pale compared to the last few; in fact, the last story arc of the original story comprising the final two chapters out of twelve is longer than all the previous ten chapters combined!

As for drawings and "Lore" pieces, instead of constantly creating completely new creatures, races and worlds that serve little-to-no purpose in the myth arc I ultimately plan to tell and are seldom revisited as I did before, I will now be focusing more on expanding upon those existing characters and ideas that are actually meant to be important to the setting and/or which I feel are worthy of developing further, as well as remaking some more of my earlier, sloppier drawings that I am no longer satisfied with the current iterations of.

Being officially back in business, I have a lot of great ideas and a lot of drive/passion for realizing them, and so I now thusly shut up and begin work on this new-and-improved material in earnest, for reals.

MolemanNineThousand, out.

Hello; you may call me MolemanNineThousand, and while you might already know me by a different version of that name which was previously used here on DeviantArt, that is no longer relevant, as I am officially starting fresh with this new account. Special thanks to realitysquared for securing my permission to do so after my previous ban and absence.

For now and going forward, I will be primarily using this venue to share my ongoing video series, Moleman's Epic Rap Battles, and potentially host extra content and informational updates regarding the series that would not otherwise see the light of day, such as formal polling for future battles.

All in all, it's great to be back.
