 The catch-up art progresses well. I've completed inks for the Chapter 2 cover, and pencils for page 1; let's just say the very first frame of page 1 took a long, long time and contains more specific detail than anything I've ever done. Hopefully, I shouldn't disappoint anyone with Chapter 2. And I've just done filling up a tape with Digimon episodes. The repeats got around to the bit where someone important dies horribly (and permanently), and Guilmon digivolves into not one but two Mega forms... it's the coolest stuff, and if you haven't been watching Digimon you owe it to yourself, really you do. HISTORY JDB writes in to comment on last Sunday's info about keeping armour clean. This is what was said: In the early days people boiled the metal armour in tar or another oily substance to prevent corrosion. It to care of most problems, but it made the armour black or a dark shade of brown; most weapons, owned by the group of people that was a country's militia, was handed down from older generation, or picked up on the battlefield; these weapons and armour were more often than not in such a bad shape that swords worked more like clubs, and didn't have a cutting edge, and armour was more likely to fall apart than hold together. You see, that's what happens when you don't take care of your equipment. The task is further complicated when you want shiny armour, and don't have a barrier of petroleum products to bead off water. Just to give you an idea, the scabbard and hilt of my rapier have large black patches on them, and yet the sword was made recently (in the reign of King George V; it bears his crest), and spent most of its time in a dry hallway in my grandmother's house. That's how finnicky metal can be. ARTIST This was the first piece of gift art I ever got. Isn't it classy, folks? It comes to us courtesy of William Adams, talented creator behind Pillars Of Faith. I recieved this around about the time Alraud got captured by goblins. It does capture his naivite rather well, don't you think? Pillars Of Faith is a great comic. Drawing liberally from the background of Buffy The Vampire Slayer, it tells the story of Faith, another vampire slayer with a darker edge than Buffy. Beginning where the show left the character, Faith is released from prison by a mysterious benefactor and begins training to become a true Slayer... but are things as they seem? Don't ask me, read the comic! |
