A38: FIRE WARNING

The very center of the Evil Range has gone for centuries unexplored, unseen, and unrecorded. From the most remote long range nanospy satellites deployed by the Gradius Royal Army, only this composite image could be extracted. Seconds afterwards, the palm-sized nanospy carrier body was destroyed and the signal automatically cut off before it could give away position to the Bacterians.

Early estimates put the Bacterian megafortress at over 4500 kilometers across it's widest point. The black ring that surrounds it potentially matches Planet Gradius' own circumference -- the ring itself comprised of ... billions of Core Warships, many unclassified and unconfirmed.

A37: HANGOVER

Truth be told, it's been extremely rough since San Diego Comic Con.

I willfully go with unpaid leave from work, because... well... it's San Diego Comic Con! The kinds of people I meet there, the places I go throughout Southern California, I make back in epicness what I lose in paychecks! This year I was smarter -- saved up more and budgeted for rent's sake. But losing a week's pay still hurts like hell. Especially after my car gave out on me.



I've tripped up a little, gotten pretty sullen over how much still needs to be done. But looking back, it's still been a hugely productive year. This next three months is the last big push to finish strong.

Look forward to (fantastic) news on "The Demon Mages", some doujinshi projects I've been itching to finish, and at least some words back from Anime Weekend Atlanta, New York Anime Fest, and the last minute scramble to get to Tokyo this December.

A36: RAY OF HOPE

Right now:

-Working on Demon Mages #2 through 4.

-Got another work-for-hire assignment!

-Trying to clear my desk of commissions.





Not much in the way of doodles or drawings lately, but it's not for lack of effort.

I meant to ask though, any of you out there picked up the Darkstalkers Tribute book yet?
It's REALLY REALLY good! (And I'm not just saying that because I'm in it!)

A35: OFF THE CUFF

More of the plucky Guardian, Sylvie. I was playing The Guardian Legend/Guardic Gaiden over the SDCC week, and fell back in love with it. Let's see where this goes, eh?

A34: THE GUARDIAN LEGEND

Just a quick post. SDCC was a kick in the pants, and I hope to have all my goods together later this weekend. But I mean... c'mon! It's Miria, the Guardian!

EDIT, 08-01-09: Miria's not alone! The many looks of the blue Guardian, "Sylvie."

A33: GREETINGS FROM SAN DIEGO!

It's nice out here. ALL THE TIME.
Posting up new stuff to make up for the radio silence leading up to SDCC. Got lots more to show, including pics from the con -- as in photographs!
















Tara is having TEN TIMES more fun at SDCC than last year!
















Tess could use another look, analysis is a bit too premature.















ARMS INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE, GOOD LUCK.

A32: PRECIPICE

More as Otakon/SDCC approaches. These were FUN!
