Perhaps You would be gracious enough to provide me with a response, something along the line of

"Thanks, and David appreciates the comment too! I love City of Heroes as well."

Much appreciated.

I am flattered that you chose my favorite alt, Tin Toy Soldier, as one of your models. I did not think that anyone at NCSoft noticed her. All of your stuff is great, but the picture of Tin is easily my favorite. Keep up the great work.

Oh. I'm crying...


My Favorite Alts:
-Tin Toy Soldier, Gun Maiden of Mars, Swackhammer, Goldfaerie, Kartoon Kritter, Cookie Peddler, Dark Buring Heart, Hit Witch, Pink Powder Ninja, Marble Bellatrix and The Mighty Who!

Did you need higher rez scans of the three you've done for me? (retail retali8r, winter's true spirit and trickster's jackalope) I know I sent you something but I also realized long after sending them that the reason it was so horribly under-colored was that the scanner decided to do things in like 16 colors instead of millions... durr.

Poppycock! Everyone knows 16 VGA colors is all you need! You crazy kids and your Super VGA and your 256 colors and then your 16 million+ colors. Back in my day we had 4 colors at a time chosen from black, blue, green, cyan, red, magenta, brown, and white, and we liked it!

Yes please! If I'm remembering correctly, I don't think the previous scans were clean enough to post. If you can send better scans, I'd love to include those pieces here. Thanks!!

All three of these come from Aldrazar--thanks for sending them in!

Spruced up just a bit in Photoshop, 'cause I can't help myself when I see a little proportional error or something.

I really love this last batch of yours, David! Can't even tell there was anything touched up!

Thank you Aldrazar for sending those in for David to post.

Thanks! Every few sketches, I like to do something unusual, just to stay fresh. This one worked out.
