For the past several weeks, Wassy, Vrykon, Eddy Swan, Frost, Planet Girl, Gong and I have been working quietly on a new dA Group and it's ready to kick off. Check it out at http://division-401.deviantart.com/

The group will be a central place for the art and stories featuring the characters of the Division-401 team. It will also showcase the art of Wassy, Vrykon, Eddy Swan. The featured artists will be sharing current WIPs and posting their latest projects. They have also agreed to update with group with exclusive weekly content as well as collaborations.

Each Wednesday, Wassy will be select a request from group's watchers and sketch it as a warm-up. Swanzy will follow up with that sketch and color it on a weekly basis as well. I have no idea what Vrykon's got cooked up but I'm confident it'll be alot of fun. Wassy's first request will go out to StormVyxen, who stumbled across the page while it was under construction and became the group's first watcher.

In conjunction with the group's launch, Wassy is offering a special color marker bust commission even though her current queue is closed. The bust is the collector's choice and will be drawn on a rare copy of Secret Invasion #1 Variant Edition.



We only have one copy of this book left right now. All proceeds from the sale of this particular commission will go to the Inkwell Awards, a charity foundation dedicated to promoting and educating about the craft of inking as well as showing recognition for ink artists. Price and details are posted at the Division-401 group page.

Eddy's kicked the group off with a small school project he's been working on...




I think that's it for now. Have a good weekend everyone!

Swanzy is scary...

I can't wait to see who else snaps up that Secret Invasion variant issue! I've wanted to do some work for charity for a long time, and am very happy that my first foray is to benefit the Inkwell Awards.

I want to see lots of suggestions for Wassy's Weekly Wednesday Warm-Ups!

It was a typo! There's a strikethrough on the "y".

But yeah, I wrote all the blurbs. Really had fun with those.

On the group page, we've got a widget. I think comments into that folder will work out pretty well, because you can put links to refs in your comment =)

You can submit the request here. Or put it on the front page. or on the group blog. We'll look it over on Tuesdays and make a decision by then.

I wanna go to Swanzy's school, killer new hair touches bro... congrats to everyone involved on Division 401! Looking forward to your fruition...

It's a school not for the faint of heart. Dangerous animals and women abound. And people with funny accents.

New character art this morning (and a big thanks goes out to Bayani for setting this up): the very first piece of Rusalka artwork done by Daggerpoint.



This is intended to be (once it's all colored and such) her bust shot for the division 401 page as well as for her character profile page.

That, and it took me a few minutes, it being the middle of the night to realize 2 things.

A. LC in that picture looks like a guy I used to date back in the eighties, only the guy had more hair on his head..and didn't sing.

B. Wait..she's holding coconuts? (looks at picture again, finally gets MPatHG reference. Groans, facepalm with suppressed laughter. Woke up hubby with the laughing.)

And yes, it was epic awesome, Wassy! In more ways than you can ever imagine....I actually look forward to the finished version...
