For those who have expressed interest in owning their very own Puppy Cow plushie, I've launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds to make the little beasties.  Please consider contributing to the campaign and please share with all your friends.  We've got until September 1 to raise $4000.  Thanks for your support!

I've started another Monster Cutie video tutorial series on coloring lineart.  The first part is up where we go over flatting by hand.

I finally finished the "Junior's First Kill" digital painting.  Took a lot longer than I thought.  But I'm really happy with the way it turned out.  I especially like the sock!  HAHA!  So if you have about ten hours to kill, check it out here:

I posted a inking tutorial walk through video over at Monster Cutie of me inking the latest test comic.  The lighting isn't the best as my set up was a bit cramped.  You get to see how horribly I fuck up while I throw some ink around.  Hopefully, someday I'll have inspiring words of wisdom to spew while I art like Bobby Chiu.  But for now, it's just me rambling, pretending I know what I'm a doin'.

Last night (really, this morning I guess since I was up until 3am) I did my very last piece of Erfworld art.  Book 1 needs a cover and I'm the guy for the job.  It took much longer to finish this than I expected and of course, it didn't help that I decided the cover needed hundreds of little dudes fighting each other that no one will ever see.  But that's the way it goes.

It's been a weird three years since Rob and I first met in Old Town Alexandria to discuss plans to do this thing.  I've learned a whole hell of a lot about comics, business, the webs, and myself.  I kept copious mental notes and I'm hoping to apply what I learned to Yellow Peril.

Wow, three years.  Or something like that (I can't count).

I'm unbelievably excited to hit the ground running.  But one of the things I've learned is that it never hurts to plan ahead.  So for the next few weeks I shall be planning and developing and simmering all sorts of arty goodness.  And hopefully, sometime early next year, it'll all be ready to serve.

Thanks Erfworld!  Now it's time to see what I can do on my own!
