Near the end of development on World of Warcraft, a few of the animators (myself included) were asked to help with some of the promotional art for the game. I called dibs on the human female and the undead female, and went to work. Had I known the extent to which they would be using these images, I probably would have spent more time on them. Even so, I'm proud of them, and especially of the fact that they've been used so extensively. I learned a few months ago that they would possibly use them in a chinese coke promotion, but I've waited until now to post about it. HUGE thanks go out to Chip (for mailing me a ton of cans and bottles from China) and Tim for donating his only promotional box. You can find wallpapers on Blizzard's official WoW site here and here. In china, World of Warcraft is translated to "Evil Spirit Beastly World". Oh Engrish... is there anything you can't do?

On an unrelated note, this site hit 100k visits since my last post. Go me!

Although I've been hosting the Drawing Jam over at The Drawing Board for over a year, I've been participating in fewer and fewer jams. That's a trend I'd like to reverse. So here's one from the latest jam. There are some other great posts, I recommend checking them out!

Wow. A lot can happen in 7 months. I finished World of Warcraft, played a whole lot of World of Warcraft (and a few other games), had my computer crash, resurrected my computer, and generally slacked off. I never intended my "temporary hiatus" to last seven months but hey, no excuses. This drawing is to document my plight as I tried to recover as much as I could from my hard drives. Luckily, I had all my important art backed up on a second hard drive. I really just lost all my Mp3s and some email. Could have been worse.

I'm here now and working on page 9 of Blue Abyss and really itching to get back into that. I think I've just about kicked my WoW addiction (yes, even developers get addicted), and I'm very glad to have my life back.

In addition to new pages of Blue Abyss, I'll have some more art to show very soon, including some new Drawing Jams, and even some promo art I did for WoW. Thank you so much to all the people who still come here after 7 months of nothing, and especially to all the people who wrote to encourage, pester, and generally motivate me to return. You guys rock.

Remember what I said about updating every friday? Well, as it turns out, I have this silly little day job and I'm working a bit of overtime latley. Unfortunately, what this means for the comic is that it's physically impossible for me to hold the page a week deadline for now. I had a feeling this might happen, but it's still disappointing. I do hope you'll stick around until this blows over. Thanks for your patience!

Moving went fairly well. I'm all moved out of my apartment, and about 90% moved into my house. It's so nice not to have to deal with up or downstairs neighbors anymore. I might even start DDRing again.

This drawing was actually done over two years ago, and colored this week. I thought it appropriate, considering how sleep deprived I've been lately. Again, I'm sorry for the temporary hiatus. As soon as I'm back to normal hours, expect to see a new page every friday.

• I've been developing these characters and stories of mine for years, now. The time has finally come to see this project through. It is with utmost pleasure that I announce my new webcomic, blueAbyss. The first 3 pages are up, and another page will be added every friday. b00ya, grandma! Spread the word!

• Here's the recently completed robotic drone character design from my upcoming web graphic novel. Process here. This character was rather hard for me to design on paper, so I modeled him in 3D to get a better feel for him. I think it helped a ton. This is the last character design (kinda) for the first issue, so I can now get started on actual production! Go me!
