Phew...cleaning out DeviantArt can take quite awhile, it would seem! I've been very busy with two webcomic projects (which have provided some really excellent practice and have improved my drawing a lot). More on those in a moment.

With the gallery, I've taken out a couple of old things, as well as outdated commission info. While I'll still consider taking interesting commissioned projects, it's on a "make me an offer" basis until the comic work settles down. I have several new digital paintings in progress that will hopefully go up soon. One that I'm quite happy with is nearly done...I'm balking at the background. (Oh, my! Lazy artist!) Another that I started yesterday is sitting behind this journal. That's Maneo, one of my favorite characters though she's a supporting role, in what I consider her "real" incarnation. She's so cute. I just want to pinch her cheeks. And, probably get stabbed.

I also recently revamped my "Waiting for You" picture to fix some of its core problems. It's still not perfect, but it does look a lot better than it did. Yay!


Alright, so...comics! I've teamed up with "Talthos," a talented writer, in the creation of two webcomics.

(Guh...I can't figure out why the text in the next couple of paragraphs is ending up linked! It's supposed to only be the images. I'm sure all my HTML tags are closed...don't know if this is a conflict with the CSS or what.)



The first is already online. Complex Actions is a fun, silly sort of webcomic about roleplaying games and the lives of a few people who play them. World of Warcraft is a common focus, but movies, tabletop gaming, console video games, and pet ownership will all show up. I'll be posting a few comics that I particularly like in my gallery (though I'm not allowed to post any right when I finish them...drat! It can be crazy-making to wait for their run dates,) but you'll need to visit complexactions.com to see all of them.

I just hope it will get a giggle out of some of you and breed some smiles.



The second is an epic fantasy-type comic, Ars Matris, which will start running in the early part of next year. This comic has a teaser image posted on its homepage...though actually, my art style on it has changed quite a bit since creating it. Suffice it to say that the comic will look a bit different.

Tal is a very good writer, and I'm looking forward to helping him unfold the story.


Hm...I think that's about it for a little while!
It's lovely to see all of you again, and to meet those of you I haven't. Thanks for the gallery visit!
