Filled in "On creation" and other great news!

So, I've finally managed to fill in my "on creation" portions of my last two comic postings. I really need to do that sooner, and I will try to fill it in right when I post the next one (shit I don't even know what I'm going to do for it yet!). I have been doing a lot of experimentation with some new brushes to try and make them work, and get closer to that every elusive "new Prince of Persia" style I've been trying to put my own spin on.

I think I am getting closer, although I think it lacks some detail... but it looks like a different brush and style is used on those parts in the concept art to me. Broadly, it appears to use some sort of texture-comb/palette knife brush, whereas it might just be a hard round on more detailed parts when you get close (yes I've gone in and zoomed in as close as possible... I wish I could find a higher rez image). I will post something new when I feel it is ready... and I've also been working on some panels for my graphic novel/blog comic/thing, but they are not in order, as the first panel features the crew's airship, and I have not quite completed the design of it yet. It is build with sort of a hybridization of heavy industrial tech and smooth magical structures... so its a challenge. I feel it needs to be as fleshed out as any character in the book, since it will play a prominent role.

A friend of mine at work apparently is friends with Kevin Mellon (http://www.aimsatellite.blogspot.com/), who is an published artist/writer in the comic-ing field. He will be at the Planet Comiccon (http://www.planetcomicon.com/) this weekend here, so I will probably swing by and chat with him. Although at this point, it seems kind of silly to ask for direction since I don't really have anything substantive (graphic novel/book) created yet. That might be the first step!

Other than that, my director at work gave us some poor news. 2 weeks from now, I could be out of a job! AWESOME!

Hopefully a non-corrupted version of the Fallout3 DLC will go up on xbox live so I can get that downloaded. Still haven't finished the DLC for Prince of Persia yet, but I'm probably getting close. The platforming is more of a challenge than the actual game, but still not as interesting to me as the first 3 games.
