100 Followers!!!

Well I want to thank everyone who stops by my blog as I have finally reached 100 followers.  I started this blog quite a while ago and have grown TREMENDOUSLY since.  What keeps me wanting to post and striving to do better is everyone who comes by and leaves encouraging words and constructive critiques.  So thank you again for all your support.  I hope that VERY soon someone will finally give me that break i've been looking for and all this hard work will pay off.

As for this guy, he actually started off as a warm up sketch and I kept noodling away at him and played with some markers and i think he actually came out pretty awesome. So as always let me know what you think!

Also I will be attending CTN-X animation expo this year and would love to meet some of you in person.  So if you are planning on attending shoot me an e-mail and we can make plans to meet up or something.  I will probably post an actual picture of me before hand so you can find me if you wish.

The bicep is GIGANTIC! I do NOT want to arm wrestle this guy XD. Awesome drawing! Great line of action. This would be a really fun character to see an animation test of. I'm curious to see how he would move.

CTN, WOOT! I'm going! It's going to be awesome. I'll send you an e-mail.

I have to make it to the States first before I run around at CTN type of events hehe. Have all the fun and who knows maybe we'll meet one day!

Your stuff looks incredible, a style I am very fond of. I have had the workings of a graphic novel script in my brain for a couple of years now. If I ever get a publisher to bite, I will give you a call. You are very talented.
