The Sounds of Silence

In some of the things I've read about Hollywood (at least Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Wil Wheaton's awesome stories of being on The Next Generation, even though I can't find the actual story on his blog I want to link to) there seems to be a tradition of, when an actor shoots his last scene, an announcement is made. Something like "Ladies and gentlemen, that is good night and good-bye to Thom Zahler."

The reason I bring this up, and created that horrible run on sentence, is because Love and Capes #12 is wrapping up. And I don't have any official word on if I'll be part of the 2010 Free Comic Book Day from Diamond, though I am very hopeful. Those two things combined, I'm not sure when I'll start the third "season" of Love and Capes. So each character's exit will be the last time I write and draw them for a while.

I've drawn the final scenes of all the characters except Mark and Abby at this point. I actually busted out two pages today, which is insane in a way I can't accurately convey. Especially when you consider that I mowed the leaves and caught The Men Who Stare at Goats today. That's an amazing burst of productivity.

I fully expect to have the last two pages done tomorrow, too. I'm aided by a big ol' splash that will take up a chunk of the last page.

Oh, now I've gone and spoiled it.

Here, I'm posting two pages. The Darkblade/Paul panel is actually silent in the issue. The Mark and Abby panel does have dialogue, but I've been creative enough for one day, and I can't come up with any fake dialogue for it. So deal with the sounds of silence.

Dax What I'm Talking About

The third Powerful Women sketchbook continues to fill up with some interesting requests. Here's a recent one for Jadzia Dax from the awesome Trials and Tribbeations episode of the criminally underrated Deep Space Nine. Man, those old uniforms and the Enterprise bridge are fun to draw.

There are only about ten spaces left in the new sketchbook, so be sure to get your commission requests in!
