I was supposed to be doing another joke script, but I had started this a while back and wanted to finish it, so, mnyeh. :P Yes, it's a mood piece. IT'S ART AND U LUV IT.

Photoshop and I are finally starting to play nice together. I'm proud of this piece because it's 100% Photoshop and doesn't look horrible. Most of my current work is scanned from paper sketches or ink drawings and just colored or toned and lettered in PS.

When I did this I was really thinking more about homesickness or depression, but Justin said it made him think of the "calm before a storm," so I went with that.

Mother Nature,

       In regards to your dust storm/rain mix?  I have two words...

Bite me.

I wonder if Rockstar figured someone would ever make this comparison.  They probably did.  

    So Iron Man is out now, and from all the half whispering on the web I've heard(I rarely actually read reviews) It sounds pretty good.  The AAFES theater on the other side of the fob is rumored to be showing it tomorrow, so I might see if I can wander down that way and get an empty seat.   Although I don't really follow paper comics with any kind of devotion, Iron Man has always been one of my favorites.  A raging alcoholic who can still find time to build an invincible suit and save the world?  Hard to go wrong there. 

    As a former DAT, I suppose anything involving alcohol and armor will get me excited.

I'm sure the nice people that make Grand Theft Auto will consider this advertising for their lovely product and not copyright infringement.

Grand Theft Auto: Sadr City

So, riddle me this, if you will.  You wake up hungry.  I know, it happens,.  So you get up, and take a little stroll down to the chow hall.  However, unbeknownst to you, the call went out for extra vigilance, and everyone is required to sport the Kevlar and IBA look.  Upon arriving at said chowhall, a hardened building, you are turned away, for lack of personal protective gear.  
    To sum this up, you are not allowed to enter a structure that could protect you...because your not wearing any armor to begin with.
Not only that, but now you have to walk your easily squished self all the way back to your trailer, to put on armor, to walk all the way back to the hardened building.

They paid someone a lot of money to come up with that regulation, I'm sure.

As the subject says... I added a links page.

Things have been getting...busier...over here, so I haven't had much time to poke around the forum.  Everyone tell Amy what a wonderful job she does translating my meager words into works of art though!

This is best appreciated if read with William Shatner in mind.

As originally conceived, this was never intended to be so detailed, the main point being that this is just a humor comic, after all. However, there are a number of things I utterly stink at, in my opinion, including coloring, technical drawing, and using vectors. Therefore, I turned this into Crowfeathers 2.0, Advanced Illustration Training.

I swear I wrote that before I realized that shortens down to AIT...

I have Justin on the brain. :3

EHERM, don't get all spoiled, though. Some pages might just be STICK PEOPLE.

It would behoove me to try a Saturday schedule, but I make no promises yet, since I'm still working without a buffer for CF.

Anyway, I'm enjoying working on this comic, since it's healing for me. I left the army on slightly sour terms, and this is really reminding me of my old friends, having a tight & sexy stomach, weapons training, and all the fun part of it. I don't miss the sleep deprivation, though!

I put up a shoutbox and PW ads.

As Amy stated on the CF page, we are officially live!   Please remember to stop by the forums to tell us what you think!
