1)  Disney/Marvel's roadmap for the next movies is clearly decided.  We're talking about at least 3-4 more years worth of movies; Tony Stark has alien tecnology, Captain America found his place in the present, at last someone figured how to write the Hulk, I'd love a spy movie with Hawkeye-Black Widow-Fury.  The one I am not so clear about is Thor, but I have faith they will do something interesting with the character's scope now that Thanos has entered the picture.

It's not as easy to use, and the brushes are not as good as Comicworks.  I'll continue to use it to see if my opinion changes, maybe making actual comic pages.

- Dragon Quest IX Game Guides (both of them).

- Two "Weekly Famitsu" with excellent art.

- Pixiv's 2009 book.

- A book called "Sai, the first step", which details how to get started with Paint Tool Sai.

And to get a taste for the writer's style, I read The Blood Red Game, which deals with the concept of the Multiverse central to the Elric Saga, but in a Sci-Fi Setting.

The Good:

The series explores some archetypal High Fantasy concepts with an energy and forward momentum that carries you all the way to the series completion:

Now I just need to balance my artistic aspirations with the craziness of steering a team of 30 people, being a semi-competent dad, and a sexy husband (I kid, I kid).  If the insomnia wasn't killing me, I might just pull it off.

If I am correct, it's just a matter of swapping the power supply, and it's not a big deal because I've had the little Frankenstein monster for a few years. This means all of my stuff should be safely backed up in one of the 3 hard drives I installed over time.

I have kept busy, though:

-Have been sketching with a brush/pen hybrid.  Just stream of consciousness, whatever comes into my mind ends up in the page.  Characters, monsters, weird stuff.  My wife loves to color the BW drawings afterwards.  :D

-I just started doing fan art to continue practicing.  I am going through a DC comics phase.  The Superboy I posted in the gallery is a part of it.  I am drawing by hand, with a 0.7 mechanical pencil.  Afterwards I scan it, ink it digitally with Comic Works and paint digitally with Open Canvas.
