BY OUR POWERS COMBINED!!!!
Hello everyone! I'm in a really good mood right now! In my message inbox on DA today, I just got notification from João Paulo that he's finished the coloring on the collaboration project on Amanda's transformation to Nemesis! He made an invitation a couple of weeks ago asking for some lineart to color, and I went ahead and asked him to do that one (since I'm WAAAY too lazy to do a scene like that and get it to come out right!). And, let me tell you, his coloring on it turned out simply AMAZING!!! So, without further ado, here is the picture so you can all check it out yourselves!
And thank you once again, João! :D

Trooper Blaze (update)
Just in case anyone was wondering what happenned with the Trooper Blaze project, I haven't abandoned it yet! I'm keeping a lot of the details under wraps, but at this time I am hard at work trying to get another issue done in time for GenCon! 3 months isn't too bad of a deadline, so I should hopefully be able to have it done by then. For now, here's a "chibi" of Blaze to tide people over until I can get the issue done!
Also, a HUGE thanks goes out to Ultema, who sent me this fanart of Tornado, the main rival from Trooper Blaze! Thank you so very much! :D

Dammit Mr. Smith!
My job is not being very fun today...
I am on the Consumer Advocacy Team with Verizon; my new job is to look for customers who have either: A) called more than 4 times the preceding day, and B) have been affected by a DSL service outage. Usually this new job duty is pretty rewarding, but sometimes, I just run across a customer who is truly a lost cause.
...such as Mr. Smith.
He called in to our tech support center a few days ago, stating that every time he restarted his computer he would lose his wireless connection. Not only would the wireless not connect, but the computer would not recognize the wireless card. The first few agents informed him that the issue is definitely in the computer itself, but he didn't want to hear that. Eventually, one of our agents from our Mexico City call center sent him to our ordering department to purchase a new modem and new wireless adaptor cards.
He was on my callback list on Tuesday, 05/08/07; I called him and suggested again that the issue is with his computer. However, since he had already ordered the replacement equipment, I told him to go ahead and see if he can get it to work with those, and if it does not work to call his computer manufacturer.
Well, he is on my callback list again today. He recieved the new equipment, and completely ignored the advice I gave him. He has since called back in 11 times, still for the same issue! I really do not feel like calling this lost cause customer AGAIN.... >:(

It's Tutorial Time!!!
Here's a tutorial for my style of character illustration, if anyone's interested. It covers everything from the finished pencils to the last step before the final illustration.
Edit: Okay, so it looks like Blogger automatically resized the WIP, so the text is impossible to read... Alrighty then, you can find the tutorial in full-size in my DA Gallery. Just remember to click on the image to view it in full-size!
And of course, the finished drawing! Check it out! :D
Feedback/questions/comments are always appreciated!

What... the Hell...?!
This gets my vote for strangest news story of the day:
Sudanese man's spouse, a goat, dies this morning of asphyxiation.
I thought this story was just a joke at first, but after looking into the story a bit, I can sadly confirm it is true. My (in)sincere condolences go out to Mr. Tombe at the loss of his (overly) beloved farm animal.
