We're going to be in Artist Alley with Mario Gonzalez!  :iconwyliman:

We'll be selling BAND issues 1-4 and I'll be doing commissions as well.  So, again, give me a shout if you're going!  And even if you aren't, feel free to say hi!

It's currently out for iPhone/Pod/Pad, and it is a 2D animation MASTERPIECE!  Very much like the Dragon's Lair series, but a little more versatile than just "press the right button at the right time".  That's all I'm going to give away.  :)

Again, if you're a 2D animation fan, you will not be disappointed by this game.

After posting my Character Design pencil test, I realized that there was a LOT of AWESOME commentary and feedback on previous drawings that I never even knew was there.  I've been working my butt off since November 2011 on a NICE storyboarding gig, so between that and the comic, I have been blowing a LOT of other stuff off, including Deviant ART.

Please know that I appreciate all the kind words and I plan to keep DA updated in both artwork and commentary...  Just not as frequently as I want to.  Haha!

So I'll put it out there one more time.  Thank you for all the great commentary, feedback, faves, and devwatches!  You guys are aweso ]]> http://basakward.deviantart.com/journal/On-our-way-to-DENVER-308240653 http://basakward.deviantart.com/journal/On-our-way-to-DENVER-308240653 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 19:18:13 PDT On our way to DENVER! nonadult journals/personal basakward http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/b/a/basakward.gif?1 Copyright 2012-2013 ~basakward

Anyways, for those of you who are wondering what kind of artsy nonsense I've been up to lately, I can give you a preview.

For the last few months I've been working on a video game for the iPhone/iPod Touch called "Run Hamster, Run!".  Still waiting on the sound guy to do some finishing touches, but it's pretty much finished.  If you want to, check out the trailer I made for it on youtube.

Anyway, I'm still unsure about posting new pieces just yet. If I could be sure a certain party wouldn't rip me off again, I'd actually like to. I do like getting feedback on my work, and some people have always provided me with really helpful critiques and comments.

But no..they're lazy, selfish, and dishonest.

One person in particular claims to be a "FAN" of mine. He has- time and time again- directly traced my work, then calls it "his" work. He sometimes makes enough minor changes to it, so the DA admins can't have it deleted. (I should also mention, he posts these pieces in places besides DA.)
