Already.
Perhaps once I've transitioned from my current job to (fingers crossed) having this and other works published, I can start working on that ever-elusive time hack.
Dave and I continue to work, and in the interest of being able to complete this project within our lifetime, are considering bringing a third person on board to help with colouring. This want has been posted on our Facebook page, along with this black and white page for people to colour as they see fit:
This page is actually our first glimpse at the king of Carthanea, Kigh Eldorfath, and his military consul, Thanwol. Devotees will recall the first digital image we posted of Obrim Kesgarr, referring to Kigh's potential to wage war. It isn't spoiling anything to tell you that, yes, there will be a war.
Now, on to other nerdy thing...
I recently saw Iron Man 3. It's good, but I want to gripe about the villain. There's a big twist therein, so... Spoiler warning! Don't proceed if you don't want the twist revealed to you, if you don't already know what it is.
First off, it was good. Really good.
Dialogue: awesome.
Action scenes: awesome.
Ben Kingsley as the Mandarin?
Yes, please.
I was incredibly excited to see a unique, real-world interpretation of an otherwise comic-booky villain. And I suppose what they did in IM3 was unique, but it was also a real disappoinment.
It wasn't a let down just because the Mandarin wasn't the real villain, but an actor hired to be a huge red herring, the let down was with who the real villain was: Aldrich Killian.
Guy Pearce was good as the villain. My problem is that Iron Man's main antagonist in every single Iron Man movie has been.... corporate America.
For once I was hoping that he would face off against someone a little different, someone who wasn't so much like himself, although the fire-breathing was pretty cool. But no, Tony Stark seems destined to do battle with suit-and-tie egomaniacs with delusions of grandieur.
