Man, what was with all those commercials being interrupted by that football game last night?

Of course, it could be the greatest Superbowl ever. I have no idea. As I type this, the game is two hours from starting, and as how I don't have television service anymore I'm not going to watch it. I'll catch the commercials online later.

On to other news, this will be the only page this week. No pages on Wednesday or Friday, I'm sorry to say. Still dealing with my aunt's estate. Saturday there was a lot of moving stuff around. Books to Half-Price, the Thomas Kinkade prints being delivered to my Grandma as stipulated in the will, plus moving other stuff around to get to even more other stuff later. Sometime this week my mom is going to get a storage unit to park some of my Aunt's belongings that we aren't going to sell. And I'll be moving that stuff later. For a woman with a two room condo, she had a lot of stuff. I was going to get this weeks pages down, but mentally, physically and psychologically, I just don't have the energy.

Let me recharge, and I'l do my best to get back into the groove next week. See y'all next Monday.

They took Red Dwarf off of Netflix. I was half-way through Season 3. Oh, well, I have 93 other things to watch. Provided they don't take those out in a couple of days too. Finished up re-watching the first season of Justified. Still just a phenomenal show the second time around. And I'd hedge a bet if I watch and re-watch it, it'd still be phenomenal. Now I just wait until they put the second season back on sale so I can re-watch that. I can wait. Wouldn't mind watching it right now, though.

One last thing before I finish this blog, no matter what you think of holidays, if you hate Valentine's Day, Christmas or any other holidays, it is always awesome that Reese's makes their big holiday peanut butter cups. I'm half-way through a package of Reese's Peanut Butter Hearts, and they are GOOOOOOOOD. Nummy,nummy, nummy.

Have a great weekend, y'all.

One month down, eleven more to go. I actually wrote 'ten more to go' and then quickly fixed it. Never drink and type. Shut y'all who question my sobriety on the rest of my blog posts. I'm sober on more than I'm not. I've got my bookmark on 'A Clash of Kings', the second Game of Thrones book. I open it up and then put it right back down. At nearly a thousand pages, it is a bit intimidating. Once a start, it'll be a rocket ride for sure. It's also somewhat overwhelming on all the things I have to read. Eight more books in my read queue, not to mention the dozens of trades I have to read.

Just bought some from a buddy who was cleaning out his shelves. Him telling me what he was getting rid of, and me going 'Got it.Got it' was a lot of fun. Also he appreciated thowing out names of graphic novels and me knowing who most of the creative teams on them were. He doesn't get that kind of awesome at home. That stuff is good bathroom reading if nothing else. It turns out I'll need new shelves eventually. Maybe after I move sometime down the road.

All righty then. GO BUY SOME COMICS! I'll see y'all on Friday.

Drawing the dragon fossil was a lot of fun. Granted, I took inspiration from the myriad of Tyrannosaurus skeleton pictures out there. However, I couldn't find one that showed a good picture of the shoulder assembly. Found some drawings, but I was looking for photos. I did what I always do, get as much reference as time allows and then I just wing it. I got all of this weeks done in record time. You'll see why in the next two installments.

And NO, I did not draw two polar bears fighting in a snow storm.

Hah. Maybe that should be my next web-comic. Nothing but blank panels and sound effects. Posted every day, seven days a week. It'd turn in to the hottest property ever. Rivallin '(bleep) my Dad Says!' Bidding wars on my original art. All blank panels. Sound Effects were Photoshopped in. I'd be riding a flying limousine every where I go.

I joke, but I can really see that happening. See y'all on Wednesday.

ANNNNNNNNND, I made it. Got it laid out Wednesday night and did the art yesterday. Mostly talking heads, but it's the thought that counts.

That's all I got. Have a great weekend. See y'all on Monday.

So Friday's page MAY be late. Maybe even on Saturday. Maybe not. Some things in life came up and I got a little over-loaded. As of this writing, I still haven't even put pencil to paper for it. Got some story issues with that page. Another 'I know what I want, but I don't know what I want' type thing. I got the next few pages plotted out in the ol' head space, but the next one is a bit of stumper. I'll have an epiphany some time soon and all will be well.

Check back on Friday to see if the page is up, if not come back Saturday and it'll be up then.

But in the meantime, GO BUY SOME COMICS!

A while back, I posted that I was know on Facebook. I am. I've been told that I did not inform y'all of the name I was under on Facebook. It's under, 'Chris Medellin'. The picture currently in the profile is the same as the 'Who Is This Guy?' page. So far, this year, I seem to have a steady stream of people taking a gander at my web-comic. I hope y'all stick around. I think I'm doing a really kick ass story and it's just going to get better.

That thunder and lightning you saw in my eyes? Brainstorm. As I've said before, I have this story semi-plotted out. Some bits I want to hit, but everything is in flux. When Volcan was telling Judah about the doors? That was going to be someone else telling it. Lady Anamel attacking the school. Different villain, different attack. Aysuni got some lines that Lienne was going to have, because I started to see Lienne as much younger than I intially thought of. (She's around 17 or so.) Things evolve. As I was working on these upcoming pages, had a real killer-diller idea that's too good to pass up. Still no end in sight. Still have a bunch of stuff, I haven't even got to yet. Still having fun.

If you are, let me know, with that nifty 'Contact Me' button to the left of this blog, and drop me an e-mail.

I did a M.A.S.H. quote. One of the greatest shows ever.

It seems the internet censorship bill is starting to get beat down to an unrecognizable pulp and flushed out. I guess after carefully explaining to Congress, again, that they don't make wax cylinders for their phonographs anymore, they brought in some random 12 year olds to explain to them how the internet actually works.My website did not go black in protest. I did that last year, when I didn't renew my domain name in time. I did it before it was cool.

It's supposed to be in the'60's and '70's this weekend?! It's WINTER. I got my good coat ready to wear. C'mon, now!

All right. Y'all have a great weekend. See y'all on Monday.
