Yo! WIP Time.
Don't read any further if you'd like to be surprised by my next piece. If you're coasting in from last week or are too curious to care then read on!
Progress this past week has been slow. Slow as arctic molasses stirred in December.
I've hit that point where 80% of my efforts will yield only 20% of the results. It's where endurance is key.
Brad Bird (director of The 'Incredibles' and the 'Iron Giant') lovingly calls this stage of production the "crap" stage.
Things look like they're going absolutely nowhere and nothing seems to be on schedule.
The prickly feeling of scrapping everything because its WRONG is overwhelming.
All the sticky little flaws at the beginning of the production decide to have an orgy and let their love children run and slide all over the project.
The only thing you can do is get a mop and clean up after them.
This stage is something that all artists face. It's an essential part of the creative process. The longer the project the longer it lasts.
I'll just have to fight through it!
Cel shades, dramatic lighting, and dynamic perspective are my weaknesses. Transform Blue Bomber will tackle those things head on.
There may be three more WIP updates before this piece is finished. Bear with me.
The dust from fighting is making it a bit hard to see.

Kailu vs. Kaiju Animation
I'd like to share a short animation done by Studio Stray Dog that I did some FX work for:
The project was directed by Nas Pasha (raging-akujiki (https://www.deviantart.com/raging-akujiki)) and is based on an original comic by Hideo Han (HideousHandsome (https://www.deviantart.com/hideoushandsome)).
It was fun drawing some of the dust clouds that you see in this. I hope Stray Dog continues to grow. :nod:
Momocon Prints
After being asked about it a few times I've gone and set up a small store on Big Cartel for three prints that I have at Momocon right now:
If you place an order before I'm sold out then I'll set aside a print to ship to you as soon as Momocon is over.
All prints are $10. They are 11"x17" on 12pt. card stock and are protected in an archive quality slipcase.
Every print is signed on the back.
I can ship them in the Continental U.S. for $1. They will be sent out in stay-flat mailers made of recycled material.
I will keep the store page open until all of my stock is gone. Once that happens I'll close it.

Grab it before the 15th if you want to take advantage of the 50% sale. We've already sold out of plushies at the booth!
Also, it's nice to see such nice support for the game. Thank you! Especially for the fanart from visitors:
