First Item: I received a number of notes from potential stock models willing to take part. My thanks to everyone who considered it, noted me, and expressed interest. My thanks to those who have sent photos. Further, at least one of them is sticking it out and eager to get moving quickly enough that I'll have what I need for the Seventh Chapter, "Coils of Fate," which I should be starting around the New Year, or maybe before!

Second Item: Given that a number of stock models responded to my plea, I am going to try to use some of the others' photos to illustrate Valerin, Avora, and Maladyne in their past pages. No need to worry about me re-doing every page--the variety of faces in the potential stock models leads me to believe that I should be able to match a lot of what already exists and make only slight alterations here and there based on new stock photos. There are faces of Valerin in "Rats" and Avora in "Plot" that appear inconsistent with their general looks, and these are the ones I'm going to work on. Also, I will not be replacing the old files here in my DA gallery, although I will probably post the new versions as well.

Third Item: With the help of three fellow deviants, the following chapters' narratives are complete and in my hands: "Rats in the Cellar," "Twisted Plot," and "Vision Impaired." I just got "Vision Impaired" today (thirty minutes ago, actually), and it's wonderful! So fun to read someone else's take on events that I've outlined with pictures--especially when that take is well-written! I have it on good authority that "Fair Harvest" is also well-underway, and I believe I have a writer set up to do "Catcall" when the illustrations are done. Of course, there will be a bit of editing required at the end to make the narratives and illustrations consistent, but not too much, which can be chalked up to the good writing skills of those involved. I need to thank you three who have completed work, and you know who you are.

Fourth Item: I've got things set up pretty well to keep going until "Coils of Fate" is complete, which should be this coming February. Assuming that goes as planned, I should be putting together some kind of publication right after that. It will require some more writing, and so if any writers are inclined to tackle "Bare Necessities" and/or "Coils of Fate," please let me know. I have already spoken with a couple of people about it, and I'd just as soon they be allowed a stab at it, but one or more of them might not work out, so please note me if you have an interest. I'll catch up with the other hopefuls before anything is committed.

That ought to do for now.

I'm now officially working on and posting the "Catcall" series. More about that below. I do believe I once had a schedule of art projects to follow. That pretty much got blown away like a Dirty Harry criminal. However, anyone who has paid any attention to my work patterns knows that I will often get several months behind, but that I also generally come back and continue on with what I intended. So, for starters, here’s the finished mural.

I’ve done a bunch of commissions over the past few months, which is a fairly new idea for me and still requires some getting used to. I’ve mentioned my work on the Pulptoon site ( [link] ) which is very “adult” in nature (consider yourself warned—the themes and drawings are extremely, blatantly, unforgivingly erotic in nature). The first one posted here is definitely on the “harmless” side of the images, and the second one has been made subtly "less adult."

Also, for the last month I’ve been working on a lengthy series of illustrations for another short story called “Needles and Needs”—a collaboration with another fellow deviant who will remain nameless until he/she directs me otherwise. Suffice to say that those who like the “Demon’s Due” storyline should find this one much to their liking. The goal here is to publish/print this illustrated story as a trial run for the completed first part of “Demon’s Due.”

Stay tuned for other developments—I’m drawing my guts out, really, and I’m sure a lot of it will bleed onto DA (isn’t that a lovely image… ).

The time has come to jump back into “Demon’s Due” and get Part One printed up. I’ve got some great stock models lined up and providing references, and I’m overhauled my computer to handle the surge/push through the next two chapters. I’m way, way behind on comments, and I’ll probably go through and answer some of them now that the pages of “Catcall” are showing up. My thanks to all those who have waited for the continuation of this storyline.

The quickest, easiest way is to buy a print on DA (see below). I’ve been published in a few books, including Sword and Sorcery: How to Draw Fantastic Fantasy Adventure Comics by Bryan Baugh, and A Life of Ravens by Alex Ness. Both books can be purchased on Amazon.com, and are full of awesome artwork and writing by some very talented people. I’ve recently done five commission pieces for the “Wayfarers” role-playing game [link] .

This is a collection of 42 ink drawings which I sell personally via Paypal or money order for $10 plus shipping. If you’re interested in obtaining a copy, just send me a note. The thumbnail above is a glimpse at the pieces that the book contains, most of which can be found here in my dA gallery.

Here's my prints page. [link] I’ve got about 36 things available, but I’m trying to put more up. I think dA does a pretty good and fairly inexpensive job of printing and shipping things. I’ve purchased a bunch of prints here, myself, which I’ll show off in the next section.

Most of these things now decorate my home, and I’m quite happy to have them. The artists are great, and their works hit a chord in myself and my wife. My thanks to all, and to dA for the opportunity!

I get a lot of people asking me if I do commission work, and the answer I generally give is “Not usually.” Commissions are difficult because I must work with the ideas that pop into my head on their own, which only coincide with someone else’s wants on rare occasions. Then, too, the more commissions I accept, the harder it is for me to complete the titanic “Demon’s Due” project. So, I’m wary. However, there is no harm in asking/suggesting a commission piece, and it just might show up. With the things I’m working on, any project I’d consider would have to pay me enough cash to make it tempting—a little money isn’t worth the insanity I experience when my own ideas get back-logged in my head. Currently, I'm fortunate enough to be getting "commissioned" to produce my own creations at the Pulptoon site ( www.pulptoon.com) , which is about the only thing I can produce at the moment.

Ahem. I do believe I once had a schedule of art projects to follow. That pretty much got blown away like a Dirty Harry criminal.

This one posted here is definitely on the “harmless” side of the images.

I’ve also done a series of digital drawings for a fellow deviant, ~harryharharr , which he has posted with his story called “Tough Love.” Be warned: The story contains adult material (most things I illustrate seem to… ). As adult stories go, this is a fun one, putting lots of good “image-pops” into my head. Here are some less-adult samples from it.

Also, for the last month I’ve been working on a lengthy series of illustrations for another short story called “Needles and Needs”—a collaboration with another fellow deviant who will remain nameless until he/she directs me otherwise.

Yes, I’m alive, but I’ve only been shadowing DA, answering a comment here, a reply there, faving a deviation here, adding a watch there. In the meantime, I’ve been working my tail off on the mural I mentioned a while back. It’s hitting the 80-hour mark, and it’s finally nearing completion. "Are you eager to have it done?" you ask. To quote my friend, ~john33 , “Is the Pope Catholic?”

In the meantime, a fellow Deviant and the admin of the Pulptoon site ( [link] ) has been paying me to post some of my digitally-colored inkworks. Now, these works are a lot like the “Demon’s Due” series and done in the style of the “Cave of Discipline” image I posted here (again and again and again… ) a few months back, with one large difference: They are extremely, blatantly, unforgivingly erotic in nature. I could post a few of them here on DA, and I probably will in the near future, but most of them are clear violations of DA’s “appropriate content” policy. So, if you want to see them, I suggest you pay the low monthly fee to get a premium membership at Pulptoon. My stuff there is called “Exiles in Avernus,” and the third sequence of images is almost finished right now.

Well, “Exiles in Avernus” and the mural more or less derailed my plans to jump into the next “Demon’s Due” chapter in April/May. So, I’m behind again. I don’t yet know how this is all going to work out. I’ll keep the journal posted so anyone interested can keep track of it and register any complaints about “Demon’s Due” not showing up (or exultation and relief over the same… ).
