A little something I've been experimenting with using AI, to envision a future line of girls' toys that boys could also play with, with little to no shame.
This set not only ties in with my own work; but would be a geography / world cultures education invitation to teach kids more about Inuit culture.
Such an edutainment doll set would revolve around a story set in 2015, of two Inuit merfolk foiling a diabolical conspiracy revolving around a hidden magic crystal. Said conspiracy threatens the entire area of Sault Ste Marie.
Anarteq: Guardian of the Soo is part 1 of a three-part superhero / adventure / espionage saga, with the other parts exploring Hawaiian and Irish geography and mythology.
It's part of my Gerosha Chronicles series, which is now big enough to be its own MCU, featuring other subfranchises in the works such as Ciem, Sodality, Swappernetters, Plum Bixie, Extirpon, The Gray Champion, Cherinob, Pilltar, and more.
In addition to all the labels being in English and Inukituk, dolls would have various costumes they could change into. Izzy, for example, is shown here in his Soo Locks Boat Tours guide outfit. Optionally, licensing would allow the official boat tours company to feature its logos on the outfit, making it that much more official.
Izzy and Jissika dolls look standard human when dry...
But their skin changes color to their weresalmon forms when submerged!
Would come with Izzy's rental home, based on the real house, as a doll house.
Villains included! Wishpon is based on Wishpoosh, the evil Chinook beaver deity.
Now, you can play the villains too!
Or, gather your allies instead...
And compete for control of the Abdygalis Shard!

I don't know anything about toys or girls but I don't see how you would market that to the Barbie crowd. Seems like totally the wrong demographic.
Aladdin was able to get both action figures for boys and Barbie dolls for girls. My reasoning was that if Aladdin could get away with it 30 years ago, then why not Anarteq?
If the wishpon is a girl, why does it wear pants and no shirt?
Wishpon is a dude. Travis Beaverton was mutated with help of the Marlquaan. He became a really powerful beaver monster. During some exchanges when the evil syndicate known as the Triumvirate first formed, the Hebbleskin Gang gifted him to work for the Society of the Icy Finger's militant terrorist wing task force known as the Screwworm network.
His codename of Wishpon is a mixture of two different inspirations. The "pon" part is from Extirpon. He's implying himself to be a being capable of imposing fear, or strong enough to tear someone in half, like the infamous Marlquaanite posing as a supernatural killer.
The "Wish" part refers to Wishpoosh, an evil beaver deity in Chinook mythology. The one defeated by Coyote the Trickster god, who was like the Chinook version of Bugs Bunny.
So a fake Chinook god is helping terrorists plot something evil on what were once sacred Batchewana grounds, and two Inuits are trying to foil his evil plan, because it involves a crystal that could unlock the multiverse if it falls into the wrong hands.
They're inhibited from stopping him because they have very few allies in Sault Ste Marie, and have to maintain their cover until just before the climax.
Also, they're further inhibited by their own character flaws. Izzy is a procrastinator and suffers mild agoraphobia. Jissika is dealing with childhood trauma from her father's death and frustration that her parents never bothered to get married. This has made her reckless, rebellious, and promiscuous. She's also jealous of her cousin, because the tribe kept doting attention on him even when he didn't want it, while she felt neglected. She does everything she can to be his sidekick, because he needs one, and she's frustrated that the tribe can't accept it that the two of them are better as a team.
However, she's totally willing to do some recon on her own, and gets impatient when Izzy fails to understand initially the urgency of what's afoot.
Yet, underestimating Wishpon lands her in jail before the climax, leading to Izzy having to work that much harder to save the day, then figure out how he's going to get her the legal representation she needs.
Unfortunately, for saving the multiverse, Izzy isn't rewarded as a hero. Instead, Trudeau's regime betrays him. He's branded an outlaw, out of fear of what Rappaccini might do to Toronto in retaliation.
So to avoid being captured himself, he's forced to abandon his cousin to the US justice system.
He's able to negotiate for her freedom right before the sequel, when US authorities agree to release her on probation and grant both of them asylum status, after learning of what Trudeau did. But only if he gets Kamohoalii to cooperate with an investigation. He upholds his end of the bargain, and they release her from the Sault Ste Marie juvie. The cousins then have to help Kamohoalii save Hawaii, hence the sequel.
With huge tits like those?
I’ve never heard of Anarteq or the Gerosha Chronicles.
In development. May take a few more years before I have a lot of it published. Concept art is on DeviantArt.
Oh, you made up a series? I have trouble making up a character. lol
I made a Megaverse. As in, a multiverse of multiverses consisting of three primary flavors. Granted, there are only six main universes currently active where much of anything interesting is still happening. Earth-G7 and it's branch timelines Earth-G7.2.1 and Earth-G7.2.9 are the current Gerosha Chronicles continuity, an alternate historical fantasy timeline where America is destroyed in 2018 and superheroes unable to stop it have to live with the consequences of their failure. Like Invincible, but less gory and nihilistic.
Earth-DROM-1 is the main Camelorum Adventures universe, though it has plenty of pocket dimensions. It's more cartoonish, and the rules of reality are quite a bit more rubbery. Almost but not quite a Looney Tunes world, though the main series is like a family friendly version of Superjail crossbred with X-Men and Orange is the New Black.
Earth-VLK-1 is the main Volkonir and Bison universe. It mostly is a tokusatsu world, operating on Japanese tropes.
The Anarteq saga is just one trilogy in the Legacy Volume, one of seven volumes to make up the main Earth-G7 timeline.
The first two stories happen around the same time as the Centipede and Fire Saga, just in different locations. The third is set shortly after the events in season 2 of Swappernetters, after quite a time skip from part 2.
Part 1 focuses on Sault Ste Marie and North Bay in Ontario. Part 2 focuses on Captain Cook, Hawaii. Part 3 takes place in Ireland.
I could use some tips. Nothing I come up with feels original enough to me.
Honestly, I got my start by writing Ciem and Battle for Gerosha superhero and romance comics using The Sims, to demonstrate to other Sims 2 storytellers in the 2000s that it was possible to write something with the game other than teen pregnancy drama, which seemed to be the only thing anyone wrote about back then.
Ciem was a particular challenge, because I wanted her to be a somewhat original-ish centipede themed heroine, yet her DSHW format webcomic pages took lots of style cues from the DVDs for the Sam Raimi Spider-Man films.
I changed up the continuity in 2012, because I was upset that the clown Obama won reelection, convinced America was stupid and beyond saving. (Romney didn't impress me much either.)
So then came the time to envision what would happen in an alternate history not too far in the future, roughly a decade. I wanted to know how my characters would deal with societal collapse.
But then, I wanted to know what got them to where I found them, so I rough outlined pitches for entire prequels for every major character and their respective supporting cast.
Sodality became the series of after collapse. Swappernetters was an experiment in a successive generation dealing with a despotic regime arising out of the ashes, as society tried to rebuild.
But the prequels, of everyone doing their part to fight the collapse, only to fail in the end, created an even richer diversity.
As for Anarteq: I studied a little Inuit mythology because I was still bored, and because Greek and Norse had been done to death. I also studied Hawaiian mythology, originally because of a challenge on Fandom.
I made the Anarteq series happen in Canada as part of a self-imposed challenge to see if I could write a Canadian hero. I previously didn't have anything set in Canada.
The Horrorday Gang was born of Christmas song parodies corrupting the protagonists, plus a desire to incorporate my own version of Krampus into the mythology, because I was so impressed with Michael Dougherty's film.
I made Rob Strainer a character to honor the life and personal legal crusade of Bob Miner, who fought an ugly war against North Dakota state corruption to his dying day.
Cherinob was mostly inspired by Touched by an Angel and the Underworld movies. I don't remember seeing any movies about radioactive angels, so I decided to be the first to tell such a story.
