First thing's first: I'm going to be a guest once again at this year's Shikacon here in Bristol! Mark your calendars, it's April 30th and May 1st. Just days after my birthday. COME BUY THINGS FROM ME WHEN IT HAPPENS.

I'm going to work on a bunch of anime and videogame pieces to try and sell at it. Which is convenient, because I've been watching a lot of anime lately. Here's a print I'm going to be selling there, of Eva Unit 01 from Neon Genesis Evangelion:
This one's rather special, because it's the first completed piece I've done with my new Yiynova tablet. Did I mention I bought that with my tax return money last month? Because I did. It's the go-to cheap alternative to a Cintiq, the dang thing took hours to set up and I'm still struggling when it comes to actually drawing on it, but it's pretty great. I don't think I've ever done anything quite like this Eva piece, have I? Hopefully things will just get better from here.

Here's a sketch of John Boyega that I did when I first set it up:
I have to take a pretty different approach when I use it as compared to ink on paper. Such a different feel. Not to mention endlessly fiddling with brush settings in Photoshop. But as I improve over time, fingers crossed, things will be quicker.

I finished that 4 page comic about my relationship with kaiju movies over the course of my life:
 You can read the whole thing here on Tumblr or here on DeviantART. TELL YOUR FRIENDS!

Things really are warming up. The weather, definitely. I'm now writing two different comic scripts, one of which is for a sequel to a previous comic of mine. The other is for a black and white minicomic that I'll hopefully put out in time for Heroes Con in June. My goal is to draw it completely digitally to really get a feel for the Yiynova. There's a third comic being written for me to illustrate that I'm excited for. I'm excited to be getting back into drawing comics, but I've got to continue to be mindful. I don't want to burn out like I did last year...

Oh, and the weekly kaiju sketches continue, though low energy and depression are no longer things I've had to fight lately thanks to...a number of things, really. Here's a psychedelic Hedorah from a couple weeks back that I'm REALLY happy with:
Facebook reminded me that six years ago I created Ezra Neuro, whose comic became the first short in Burst Reach #1, my first serious self-publishing attempt. So I drew her again:
The H on her chest is the symbol for the Heavy Machine Gun in Metal Slug.

Here are two other Evangelion pieces I've done for the con, which I'm hoping someone will buy:
There's more in my portfolio, but we'll leave it at that for now. Take care of yourselves, okay? See you next time.
