Sylum Inspiration: Velociraptor
You make ask how are they inspiring? They inspire fear and the need to run fast and far!
At some point in the Sylum Universe. There will be Velociraptors.
Scary thought.
Good thing Vampires can run fast.
Picture add – mainly cause it’s adorable. Fan Art by Manuel Unda.
As you know we’ve been working on this for a while, and believe me it will be worth the wait!!
There has been some RL situations that have caused us to be behind schedule – nothing we can do about it, but go with the flow.
So yes, this year you will get the 10th Anniversary Edition.
The goal is still set, but please realize that we do have lives outside of Sylum and sometimes they suck and we can’t put 100% of time into where we want to.
In the meantime.
We’re still taking questions! We’ve had some good questions, ideas, and comments. Keep sending them.
*Also if you can’t see the Contact Form – just reply to the post with your questions.
St. George painted by Raphael located at the Louvre in Paris.
In Sylum Neal Caffrey is Raphael. So the irony in the stories is that Neal stole his own painting.
St. George is the Patron Saint of England. He’s mostly depicted as an English Knight taking on a dragon (Draco the Dragon doesn’t find the painting very pleasing).
Irony – St. George is Roman.
Nico finds this hilarious and calls every St. George’s Day to remind Arthur that England’s Patron Saint is in fact Roman.
There are actually two paintings.
St. George and the Dragon by Raphael located at the National Art Gallery in Washington DC.
RL has been a bit hectic so today won’t be a Throwback Thursday.
Instead it’s a reminder about the Sylum 10th Anniversary Q&A.
We’ve gotten some good questions!! So please keep it up!!
The Form is added to this post – you can ask up to three questions per form. Reminder: you can ask one questions or fill out multiple forms for more questions.
If you can’t see or access the contact form and want to submit a question – just reply to this post.
PS for the one who asked about Marco Polo – thank you for introducing us to this series!!!
After putting up the Q&A from a few years ago – we figured for the 10th Anniversary be good to open up to everyone to ask us some questions.
Use the Contact Form below to ask anything you want about characters, art, clans, storyline, the bobs, the history of sylum, the process of putting all of this together, the amount of headdesking and crying that takes place…
Each Contact Form as space for Three Questions! You can ask one or send in multiple forms for more questions. Be creative, think about the past 10 years, what you’ve read, seen posts/comments about, the characters & clans…
We’ll be collecting questions until February 5th!!
Sylum Inspiration: Dachshunds (Merry & Pippin)
You’re introduced to Merry & Pippin in Clan War (you’ll see more of them in the 10th Anniversary Edition).
The reason of showcasing Dachshunds is mainly because I had two of my own.
They are adorable, smart, stubborn, and only like other dachshunds and dachshund owners aka slaves.
This is a quick reminder – that we do have a Tumblr Page.
The reason I’m posting so soon after the last reminder – is mainly because we started a new series called: Character Introduction.
Today’s intro is Meriwether Lewis – Tallikut’s Spy Liaison.
Make sure to stop by or follow our Tumblr so not to miss out on these fun posts. Note: You don’t have to have an account to see the posts. We’ve also added Tumblr to our links section on the blog for quick access for those not interested in an account.
Another quick reminder – you can always follow @Sylum_Updates – all posts from the blog and tumblr are posted on our Twitter Account.
For a while now we’ve hinted about the Transformers.
Optimus Prime has even been seen in two Sylum Videos.
Teaser Trailer: To Rise and Rise Again
Optimus has been very inspirational for future storylines.
And is now awaiting his big debut.
The Impala is important in Sylum because it’s Sam & Dean’s home. Even though now in Sylum they have a home – it’s there main source of familiarity.
There is another reason the Impala is featured, but I’ll let you figure out why that is.
Reminder to all that Sylum has a Tumblr.
There you’ll find more in depth information on the Sylum Block Inspirations, gif sets of Sylum movies/shows/characters, and we’re working on series of ‘Let me introduce you to…showcase character and position in clan’.
You can also submit your own inspirations.
Plus ‘ask sylum a question’.
You don’t have to have a tumblr to view or even ask questions.
So stop on by and take a look!
Look to the right or is it your left….
Anyway – the Block Inspiration that we normal post photos of actors/actress that are in Sylum is going to be a bit different this year.
This year we’re going to showcase places, items, and animals that are seen in around the Sylum Universe.
For Example – this week’s Sylum Inspiration is a Janus Coin. This coin is what Nico has in the door frame of the Manor. An old Roman Tradition where Janus watches over your comings and goings. (See archived story: Caretaker Series – Thomas Efford)
I’ll put out a blog post each Monday explaining what the inspiration is.
It’s a new way to showcase all those little things in Sylum that doesn’t get attention.
As the writers hibernate and the bunnies prep for the rest of the year…
I thought it would be fun to share 2014 stat’s for the blog.
Jensen sorry to say you lost your #1 spot and have to work to catch up with Tuckercat!!!
Two major Anniversary dates are coming up!
September 20th
November 3rd
Can you figure out what each of these are?
Thank You Everyone!
It seems that the spam program works and comments are once again easier to use!!
*there’s a few glitches but between programs/apps and updates there may always be a few glitches – you’ve got to love technology*
I appreciate everyone taking the moment to comment it was great to see so many followers of Sylum.
So now that I know y’all can comment – I’ll be looking for more comments on up coming posts. *cackles*
