Thank you so much for all the response to Ida 2! You wouldn't believe how nervous I was about this one. While I still don't think it's one of my best art-wise, the story was very important to me. I can't even tell you why it was important - at the risk of sounding like an ar-TEEST, the Ida character just... you know... spoke to me. And wanted a cup of water at 2 AM. You know how little kids are.

I'm getting lots of questions about what's next for Skary - if this is the end and so on. Absolutely not! I'm going to take a break from Skary movies for a bit and work on more prints. Remember how I used to do a new one almost every week? And it's almost time for the 2008 calendar. There are some non-Skary things I want to do as well (and I'm taking freelance clients again, by-the-by!) but the Childrin are still tops for me.

In between prints, I'm going to take some time to learn a little bit about 3D. I'm trying to get the hang of Blender at the moment (and failing miserably. That thing's like a spaceship control panel or something). Eventually we'll have 3D Skare-o-vision! Oh, and if anyone has some tips for this total n00b, I'm all ears.

If you've got some 3D pointers for me - or any dire questions - don't forget to e-mail me! I do *eventually* get to my comments, but e-mail comes first. If it takes me a while to get to you, that just means I've got a lot of messages to slog through. I'm catching up, though!

Annnnnnnnnyway. I made some wallpapers n' avatars for ye. See here!

P.S. - to the person who thought (and was offended by the idea) that Ida's Luck is a message about the ignorance of religion: it wasn't. I can't make that clear enough. That suggestion just ruffled my feathers so much I had to reiterate my response for the benefit of anyone else who may have come to the same conclusion. Because... wow. No. Jeepers.

Actually, while I'm at it - feel free to discuss what Ida's Luck means to you. I always like hearing others' interpretations. This one seems obvious to me, but hey! You never know.
