#236 – “Like Rare Minerals”

I know there’s been a fair bit of missed updates lately; it’s really a compound problem between a whole lot of things slowly piling up and I’ve simply had a need to take it easy and address things one thing at a time.

As for this page, like the prior it ties into Te’len and where she’s headed. All of this was dialogue I had wanted to get into the Deadmines, but really didn’t find the space to, so it’s ended up here instead. I felt it really had to happen before.. certain other things happen.

The folks at PanMcMillan are in fact putting out the graphic novel adaptation of the Anne Frank Diary. My initial reaction to the project was negative, but with time, it's changed. The Diary, that girl's life, is an important story. If this aids in sharing that story with a new audience, than I'm okay with that.

Today's page, celebrating the ridiculousness that sometimes is the comics world, was done by O:

I call myself O Abnormal, but in case you’re wondering I was given the name Sergio Villa-Isaza by my parents. I’d rather you called me O, though.

What can I say? I studied graphic design here in Colombia, where I currently live and work as an illustrator through the internet (although I’d love to travel). My work on the web started in 2003, doing commission artwork. In 2004 I started the webcomic “COMMISSIONED” (www.commissionedcomic.com), a comic strip that revolves around the life of a cartoon-version of myself and my friends as we play RPGs and have weird adventures that overlap reality and the imagination (I just love how that way of saying it makes it sound so educated and well-mannered).

My fantasy artwork can go from pseudo-realistic to cartoonish, but both rely heavily on lots of detail. I normally do pencilwork, watercolors, inkswashes and can also color digitally; most of the time I’ll just work with a mixture of some or all of them.

For the record, I felt completely ridiculous writing this.

We'll see you on Wednesday, folks.

Not much of a family reunion but better then nothing and the forest might prove to be more difficult then Lady Skar had anticipated…

A comment about the randomness of my posting.

I do my best to post each week but as you’ve come to know and love(?), that just isn’t the case sometimes. Until that time when Aardehn is providing a monthly income, enough to sustain my wife, dog and two cats, then paying work will always trump it… much to my dismay.

I can’t promise weekly updates but I will promise Aardehn will always continue. Can’t and won’t let it die!

Anyways, thanks again to all those that continually stop on by and enjoy my bizarre little world. Cheers!

Here we have a small part of the Khoruysa Brimia that hasn’t been shown to date. I figured it would be cool to have a small cot-like sleeping area near the cockpit, just in case someone needed a little shut-eye but still wanted to stay close to the cockpit in case of an emergency. It’s basically a nook in the wall between the cockpit and the commons. In panel 2, you can see part of the railing that separates the cockpit floor deck from the dining table itself.
