A enigmatic stylish duo, its' host and manager work on the Omnibus:: OTURTWORKS, in their effort to perserve space-time and fend off fourth-dimensional beings through the power of fiction and the weapon of storytelling.
"What is oturtmurr?"
An otomatopiea.
Who is oturtmurr?
OTURTMURR is the collaborative effort between Oz, our host and creative director...
Bonjour!
How do you do?
My name is Oz, the man responsible for turning ambition into a awe-inspiring wonder.
Otto von Bruno, our miraculous creative attorney.
Salut.
We’re both dedicated to the craft of taking an idea and pushing it to its breaking point.
Exploring all of its’ possible creative avenues, to create the best, most imaginative high-quality of that product there is.
Myself. P.A.M.A.N.A. a software administration programme known as a P.I.E (personality intelligence entity) and assistance manager of our operation.
Lastly, along with a unamed presence amongst ourselves.
We'll be conducting you into our familiy, in hopes of introducing you to the operation. We hope you enjoy this touching experience.
What do you work on?
Here is what I ocassionally produce for...
An extended body of work can be found here.
Where can I learn more about the characters and univers e you broadcast?
UNIWIKI.
An interactive encylopedia who updates its’ contents based on your progress within a multimedia-interactive project.
This tool allows us to observe the actors and setting sin a universe through the 'Gutterspace'. Think of it as our telescope breaking out into the 4th wall.
In reality, this is a universe-forger. This tool was developed for creators to forge their universes, every aspect of existence--actors, settings, physics, items, entities all in a playground.
Fandom be damned and any worldbuilding application that is not well-rounded.
For this is a solution for the highl-detailed and creative minded, who enjoys consistency, interactivity, interconnectivity.
How can I engage with the fiction of the universes you broadcast?
The Multimedia-Interactive system.
It combines several programs into a interactive ecosystem to create a interactive narrative experience which grants the audience the ability to steer how the narrative of a character is delivered.
We broadcast a universes' timestream, "you" the Metaactor, hold the responsibility to guide these Actors to the finish line, for better or for worse.
Where can I read, watch, or play this?
The Omnibus Stream.
This is what we call our home.
The Machination of an Imagination.
Engine of the ignenious churning bright sparks of wonder.
What do I gain from caring about any of this?
Well...data gathered by our research team states >>>
The average individual consuming homemade OTURTMURR works' experiences a significant increase of sensitivity in the prefrontal cortex by 33%, a 25% increase in the limbic system and a 10% increase in the central nervous system. It’s true! Sit down, watch & read, experience it for yourself!
These psychoactive responses are not the work of magic--it is the hard work of crafting literature that demands engagement, interaction, and a reward system of gaining knowledge from researched topics laid in simulation & game form.
The hard work of my interactive experiences comes from crafting literature that demands engagement, interaction, and a reward system of gaining knowledge.
I reference scnientific articles, consult field experts, and peform my own research and journalism to create generally informative and educational content.
My goal is to combine edutainment and give it a philosophicall, cool-edge and apply that to various artistic mediums.

Opinions & Thoughts
Your rules around fanwork are restrictive. Your stunting my and others peoples' growth and creativity.
Consider growing out of my creative world and creating your own. We can not expect to continue producing new works by looking backwards at nostalgia and fanart.
Wearing our inspirations on our sleeve is commonground, but rarely do we Look to the real world for grounded-inspiration, to mature, and grow new wings.
You are underrated. I like give you more exposure by posting it on (Pinterest, Twitter, Instagram)?
Thank you for the thought.
No, I do not wish to have my works posted on Social Media. I have advertising accounts that do just that.
May I gatekeep?
Yes.
Although, if you exhibit behaviours a self-proclaimed elite, be prepared to face ridicule.
I am interested in being as underground, and relatively unknown in the West, western media of pop culture, and known in African, Afro-American . I am not interested in catering to the mainstream, as I want my ideas to be expansive, detailed, and filled with depth.
Do you support X, Y, Z?
I am not your poster-boy, I am not your savior.
My artwork exists as it is, and will be as it was.
The actors' & characters' words are theirs, and only ever theirs unless tampered or triffled with.
How do you feel about the Canon?
Literary work, non-fiction and fiction writing, are the freedom of expression through an creative medium.
This is a staple of culture. The representation and imagery of symbols are extremely important.
In two extreme examples, from the American Red Crosses' protected meaning in usage to the eurasian swatiska corrupted and appropriated by totalarist ideoleogues.
The meaning of symbols, imagery, and the ideas attached to them are subject to change based on how a culture, social group interactions, engages or tampers with them.
I categorize most fictional characters as archetypes, they represent a single-minded belief that serve a function in a world to tell a story.
Unless a character is defined by their ethnic background and social class, I would otherwise be seen as one of many experiences given in written form--which can validate a certain truth or experience in the world.
I personally believe Batman and Spiderman could ethnically be anybody--their archetypes, they wear masks or take on cowls. This is not so much the case for character like Black Panther or Static Shock who are intimately tied to their ethnic background.
Usually given a market, its' creators, and the type of audience it targets; the ethnic identity of those characters created will typically reflect their lives or world-view. They are vectors of representation or even caricatures--this can not be understated nor ignored.
While characters like Spongebob or Sonic do not hold an extreme cultural importance to how the world ultimately functions--they have limits to what they can seriously reflect in their worlds, given their art style and presentation--they are not human--and are limited at that expression.
A fictional character written with themes that tie to their social class, potrayal of character or challenges in ethnic background cannot be divorced from them.
This aspect of a character, has depth, and cannot be for some people; as they may relate to that experience depicted in written or visual form.
A Canon, and its' level of depth, depdening on its importance and sensitivity to certain themes will illicit a response from people.
Engaging with art and consuming it, is an agreement to acknowledge and listen to that critical analysis.
A mindset who tends to be "unopininated", or show "noncomittal" behavior, a "indifferent" attitude towards these concepts underlines a lack of creativity, open-mindedness or understanding of the world around them when engaging with art.
There's a depication of a relationship that is not true to 'the Canon'.
Do not get hung-up on it. You're livelihood is likely not threatened by it. It is inspired and fanwork. It only ever is that and stays inspired by that thought. Ignore it, block it, move on, and promote artwork you do support and makes you happy.
A character is being depicted in a "nasty" and unappealing manner!
It falls upon the Creator to deliver a succesful potrayal of the character, based on their beliefs and development. If the creator is respected or holds a strong passion for the direction of his work, then there is nothing to worry about.
An imitation, caricature, slander, inversion, rewritting, or alternative take does rarely overwrites the original--there will be many interations or adaptions of a fictional character--but the oriign always exists as the centre point of the Canon.
How do you feel about fandom?
I am interested in a idyllic goal of community that can come together around a arrangement of themes and ideas and promote social work or activism around it. To impact and benefit other social groups for a beneficial cause.
I consider fandoms cults. The word "fan" is a metalepsis, it descends from "fanatic". I am not interested in circle-jerks, self-deprecating or obssessive culture, or interpersonal conflict between micro-groups.
I have negative reservations towards the mindset that allows typical minor or teenager who believe they are entitled to "whatever" they may think they have a stake in within a fandom. Or the mindset of an adult who shares or peforms backwards actions who ultimately beenfits nobody in a group. Complaining, drama, culture-war, slander. Leave this lifestyle at the door when it comes to community--keep it in the culture that is web fandom.
I believe fandom is a somewhat infantilized, immature vesion of a club. I can not underestimate the power of creation it can give, but I will continue to avoid and often not recommend the often negative behaviours or mindsets they promote or attract.
