Sketches and thought processes for my in progress Sci-Fi graphic novel, Intrepid. Also, some random goofiness.

"Are you really thinking now that closing the species would stop these poor fools?"

Oh, I know it won’t.

One douchebag in particular seems to be very persistent about using them in ways I don’t agree with.  Even though I have let him know multiple times that this is not okay, and he has been banned from several sites yet he still continues to do so.

I consider closing the species to be more of a statement/example that this sort of behavior is not okay, and I will take action if things are repeatedly abused.

I don’t know… I haven’t decided anything for sure yet.

THIS!  So much this! 
Not just comics, but drawing in general.  To this day people (namely my mom) STILL don’t understand how tired I get when I work.
So much love and energy go into each drawing that I make!

(Reblogged from Formspring) What is a Reth’kaa? Is it like a Jedi?

Ehhhh…. kind of, sort of, not really… A “Reth’kaa” is the Ultimarian word for those who are sensitive to the Lifestream. For most that can be called “Reth’kaa”, all it means is that they have a heightened sense of empathy for all life around them (Can sense other’s thoughts and emotions and what not). Juneri falls under this category. Rahst often calls Juneri’s abilities “Worthless”.

Stronger Reth’kaa, like Liah are very rare and can show other abilities. In her case, an ability to communicate with animals but other abilities can include psychic abilities, telekinesis, the ability to control the energy flowing through their own body. These abilities ALWAYS have something to do with the ebb and flow of life around them.

Most who show these abilities are pretty weak with them and typically have only one ability, however, the Imperial family is in a class all their own. The imperial family are the direct descendants of Rori Zemothe, the first recorded Ultimarian Reth’kaa and show signs of all Reth’kaa abilities and tend to be ridiculously strong. The only two members of the Imperial Family alive today is Emperor Himnare and his younger brother, Tetra.

So… long story short, being a Reth’kaa is more a connection and deep understanding to life in the Universe rather then saving the world with godly powers.

Looking at this I wonder if I should try SAI. You’ve got a wonderful choice of colours, btw.

Actually, I’m beginning to rely more and more on Sai for my coloring.  I still primarily use Photoshop, but honestly I wish Photoshop could be more like Sai when it comes to shading.  It just ends up being so much smoother.  I also use SAI for all of my digital inking purposes.

SAI sucks hardcore when it comes to texturing, though.

Damn, that’s ridiculous, what is with people. Who are they bugging you about? I’m glad I haven’t gotten that sort of thing yet. On the other hand, I get all the shippers…

For me, 9.99 times out of ten it’s furries asking to be put in a romantic situation with one of my female anthro(ish) characters.  Then they either get bitchy with me or act all sad when I tell them no.

Even worse are the people who have no shame about sharing their fetishes with the world.  I’ve gotten some ah… ‘interesting’ requests to see my characters in different situations from those people, even though I make it pretty clear that I don’t draw fetishes or porn.  :/

I haven’t gotten any shippers… yet.  Thankfully.   I just never understood what was so damn special about the concept of ‘shipping’.

crispyfishsticks said: Haha, what the frack. XD

Oh yah.  For the last few days, MoodyFerret and I have been tracking down an art thief and by now, knowledge of him has spread like wildfire.  I know thieves are usually dumb as bricks, but this one takes the cake.  He actually posted his REAL phone number on several websites and is now making comments like “WHO’S CALLING ME?!” and “STOP CALLING ME!”.  XD  

Everything this he says and does just has me laughing my ass off.

Here, have a screenshot of a very enlightening conversation with him on G+ … I almost had tea squirting out my nose while typing said conversation.

True… but I think for a lot of guys, it may just be a big case of the lazies.

So - you stated, that the Ancients (namely us, humans, homo sapiens) were completely extinct long time ago. However, the Ultimarians looks much like humans. Actually, they ARE humans. Are they what’s left of the Ancients, or merely a new human species that evolved later?

Ultimarians are pretty much humans 2.0.
They evolved from humans, but their bodies are built to be much more efficient then our own.

I wrote a brief article a while back about HOW their bodies are different then the bodies of humans - [link]

I have a good deal more information about them coming when I officially unveil my secret side project.

"Yes, commish Shae! *feels like becoming a Shae-fan* 8|"

You wouldn’t be the only one.  Pretty much every beta reader for my upcoming webcomic has expressed their Shae love.  I had no clue he’d be so likeable when I created him.  >_<  Though as much as I love Shae, Aredon will always be my #1 bébé in the comic.

I would like to commish that guy to draw Shae… but it won’t be a little while.  I still have some of the hubby’s immigration fees to pay so the money is needed elsewhere for now.
