Big Shot!

Big piece for big gun!
Big Shot!

This piece will be hanging in the Further Confusion 2015 art show. When I started researching the Lahti L39 I quickly realized that the 20mm rifle was about 26" longer than Rosemary. This made for some interesting composition challenge.

Baron’s art and Smudge’s NaNoWriMo

Sorry things have been quite here lately. Mostly it's due to having our noses to the grindstone.

Baron's been working hard getting commissions done while getting work together for FC next year. Will post new stuff on that, hopefully, Monday.

As for me, Smudge, Fox Den and I have got 'the Keeper's Warrior' edits in the can and hope to have the proof copy from the printer any day now. ePub version will also be released at the same time so you have your choice of digital or dead trees. Oh, and I was able to include all the art in the digital version too. It was a pain, but I think it will be well worth it in the long run.

To 'Kill a Dragon' is still chugging along. I'm in talks with MadeFire, a comic app, to have it posted there.

And last but not least, I'm participating in NaNoWriMo this year. Mostly to try and kick me outta my mental block when it comes to writing. This past few years have not been good to me stress wise and it means that my writing creative juices are not only not flowing, but acting like molasses... in Montana ... during winter. And before you ask, 'To Kill a Dragon', story-wise, has been sitting on my desk complete for nearly ten years. But with luck, and a little nudge, now that the worst of the stress is off me, I can get things not only going again, but completed.

I've decided this year, I'm going to get Dis' tale done. Right now, it's under the working title of 'the Inn of the Cat', but I am hoping to find something better. After all, the current title, while descriptive, is pretty dang common. Wish me luck!

the Inn of the Cat
DisLoungingAround

Dis was a wanderer, but not by choice. All he wants is a place to call home. And he finally thought he'd found it, in a small inn run by Edio within the bustling trade city of Daleport. Yet, politics, the coming of a new lordship for the city and fear are threaten to, yet again, force him to flee. After all, it's hard to be a magical being in a city that faces any magic with torches and pitch-forks.

Bass Instincts

This piece was done for a couple of reasons. One to gain better knowledge of creating bird wings with my traditional mixed media technique, and two to learn more about how classical string instruments are constructed. I can say it was a learning experience on both counts.

Hand of the Dragon

Hand Of The Dragon

Hand Of The Dragon

Getting close to releasing issue #3 of 'To Kill a Dragon'. Here's the cover image to prove it. ^.^

Sorry I've been so quite as of late. Usually when I drop off it's because I'm either dealing with RL drama, or have my nose to the grindstone. This time, happily, it's been the latter, not the former. Not only have I been working on getting 'To Kill a Dragon' out the door, but I've been doing a lot of work behind the scenes here setting up a new eStore and programing needed plugins.

The program work is nearly done. As soon as it is, I'll be posting 'To Kill a Dragon' at SmudgeMarks & EngelWerks as well as a test of our new subscription model for comics, stories, and podcasts.

I've also been keeping busy domestic side as well. Been on a slow rampage of house cleaning/organization/getting-rid-of-crap since the emergence room visit a month ago. A lot of this is my vain attempt to get the house a little less allergen friendly. My long standing dream at this point is to get it in shape enough for Roombas to be able work. Yeah, probably never happening, but I can give it the collage "GO".

Back to the grindstone for me - Issue three won't letter itself.
