Good to see you painting again, meshing your landscapes with your really strong anatomy skills is key- at least you've got some forward momentum here.

I know you work from life as much as possible but the verticality of the portrait makes her neck merge with her spine and skull in an inhuman way. I think either adding hair mass to the back of her dome or shifting her chin outward would help alleviate that issue. I find your noses tend to be too large, lips too bowed and eyes too small but there is no accounting for taste. Overall the brush strokes and color choices are well done. Keep it up and integrate all the elements.

Purchased. Can't wait for Life After. Good luck on the signal boostin' and dream catchin' mang.

Wow this is shaping up beautifully- quite an impressive last minute turnout. Makes me want a Void Character Bio Book like we put out for WFA.

One point- I think Johnny and her Dinos ought to be pushed back a few rows and made bigger so the scale makes sense- some of the larger characters are dwarfed by the lil shawties.

Right on man, pretty sure Voider Josh Gilley has a table in artists alley I'll be calling homebase for the day, probably play groupie to Gabo for awhile as well.

I agree wholeheartedly with your sentiment that C2E2 is about the comics creators and artists alley and up and comers while Wizard is about D list celebs. Wizard is five minutes from my house and has some huge creators I definitely want to see but I'm usually disappointed with the sheer amount of riffraff I have to wade through to get to them. The programming at C2E2 is always far more helpful and superior anyway.

I'm planning on going at least Saturday to say hey to mostly Chicago based creators that I can see at the weekly drink and draw anyway but it'd be cool to walk the floor with the head honcho round these parts if you're game.

If any Voiders are flying in for Chicago cons, feel free to crash at my place if need be, as always.

Dude so do I- wish I had the time for it these days- I'm just getting too old for it. I'm a tournament fighter anyway, I like the high stakes and pressure of it. But I've been working on learning new skills, traditional painting and more personal art to level up in the meantime. Just trying to get involved again, give something back to the community I love so dearly and participate in what way I can while satisfying my own perfectionist demands balanced with an insanely busy adult life, I know you sympathize Bobo.

I've been working on something massive for this for a long time, figure I can wrap it up well within the next month if I get back to 8 hour art nights. Definitely happy to see it coming together with a lot of big guns doing their best work for print. Cannot wait to hold it in my hands.

I tend to do my best creative work listening to others hype the medium and work, gets the juices flowing for the crunchy stuff. Lately been working my way thru the extensive libraries of...

1 Inkstuds- a college radio show hosted by one incredibly well spoken and versed young man who just so happens to prefer indie/underground comics to the mainstream and co-hosts his show with creators, discussing works, methods, personal life but also allowing them to select the music. He's also friends with alot of gone-pro Voiders and frequently pimps them.

2-Sidebar- three dudes talking comics typically interviewing more mainstream types but they're well versed enough to create fun and comical discussion of the medium without drifting into tangents and rambling too terribly much.

I'll definitely be there Saturday to cruise the Artist Alley- high five you, Gabe and KR and buy a mountain of comics as always.

I'll be at Atomic Sketch tomorrow night too and I guess there are a bunch of opening night parties at bars I may have to crash. I'm sure you know more than I do.

That is all.

Finally watched the first episode season 3 of GOT.

And have some Toro Joe, or Lord Toro Joe in this case.

Mmm that quaff of hair reminds me of someone I know. I love the bullish plates and colar, with the heel spikes- this whole design aesthetic demands Void alternaverse comics. Make it hoppen!
I suppose there's a bit of Snow Ravens in there. Just watched S3Ep1 meself- we are in for a good season my fellow Thronies.

We'd love to have you aboard for the next tourney round. Probably late next week sometime.  Typically we spontaneously rally a crew and record around 4-6 Pacific time and send out invites via Skype and Google Plus. If you wanna PM me your names for those programmes that'd be helpful.

Obviously its good to include members of the comics we're reviewing's creative teams on the casts to answer such questions and clarify the nitpicks, also to tell the stories of their creation. So if Red or Salt are willing, it'd be nice to talk to you as well. Goes for you as well Pyras.
